What the field reports:

• Lau Fau Shan seafood row venues with pet-friendly stance typically accommodate small to medium dogs on a short lead at outdoor tables; the size_policy here additionally documents large-dog tolerance, though the practical configuration remains a short lead.

1. Order the steamed live prawns — the Lau Fau Shan classic.
2. Use the supplied water bowl — the venue documents a water bowl.
3. Visit on weekday lunch — quieter, with more room for a small or medium dog.
4. Carry AFCD e-licence — the venue is on the FEHD register.
5. Pay cash — the safer payment in Lau Fau Shan.
6. Avoid Cap 167D breeds — the FEHD permit does not override the parent ordinance.
7. Pick a corner outdoor table — quieter for a small or medium dog.
8. Bring a mat — the outdoor benches are metal-framed.
