Find dog-friendly pubs near you
There’s something so special about a trip to a classic British pub, especially when everyone can come along for a slice of the action.
Dogs are more than just pets; they’re a big part of the family. That’s why finding dog-friendly pubs that welcome them with open arms, waggy tails, and doggy treats makes all the difference.
You can find plenty of dog-friendly pubs across the country and near you with Greene King, Flaming Grill, Farmhouse Inns, Hungry Horse and Chef & Brewer. So stop by, settle in, and paws for a pint (or a water bowl).
Pubs that offer warm welcomes for our waggy friends
A good pub should make you feel welcome from the second you set foot inside, and a good dog-friendly pub should offer your four-legged friend the same cosy comfort they enjoy when curled up at your feet at home.
We’ve got plenty of pubs where dogs don’t just feel welcome, they feel truly wanted. In fact, we can’t guarantee our team will be able to resist fussing over your four-legged visitors or showering them with attention. Let’s face it, a great pub and a beloved dog are a paw-fect match.
If you're not sure whether a pub is dog-friendly, check the website or speak to management. Some pubs may allow dogs in the outside areas but not indoors, while others might have strict rules about the dining facilities. It's always best to check first!
Mouth-watering menus for dogs and owners
A great dog-friendly pub should have everyone saying 'Bone appétit!' As well as the tempting pub classics from Greene King, the traditional favourites of Farmhouse Inns, the hearty indulgence of Chef & Brewer, the flame-grilled flavours of Flaming Grill, and the favourites from Hungry Horse, our dog-friendly pubs and restaurants may also have some tempting canine treats on offer, as well as water bowls to keep them hydrated.
Speaking of hydration, there's also an extensive drinks menu to enjoy for our human customers, such as Greene King's amazing selection of beers, Hungry Horse's signature cocktails, or Chef & Brewer's wide wine selection. Whatever you're after, our teams will be happy to help you choose.
And hey, if your four-legged friend has a little treat under the table, we didn't see anything...

Cosy up by the fire
Nestled in the charming village of Sherborne St John, near Basingstoke the Swan is a much-loved Chef & Brewer pub with roots stretching back to the 17th century. Full of character, the historic inn has a traditional brick façade and thatched roof, while inside, the low ceilings and a rustic brick fireplace create a warm and cosy setting. The pub menu has excellent food, so tuck into a meal alongside your canine companion. There are also plenty of scenic spots nearby for walks, including The Morgaston Woods.
A delicious food menu close to the beach
Dogs love the beach for the wide stretches of sand to roam across and the water lapping at the shore, perfect for splashing and playing. And Hungry Horse’s Harbour is just a stone's throw from Kinmel Bay. Enjoy a day at the beach before winding down with good food and a glass of something special. The car park is also handy if you're coming from further afield or travelling with all the essentials.
Enjoy an overnight stay with your dog
What’s better than a trip to the pub with your pooch? An extended stay, of course.
