Dog Friendly Pubs
Find a dog-friendly pub near you at Chef & Brewer
Anyone with a dog will know they're more than just a pet; they're family. From the lovable labradors to the boisterous bulldogs, soppy staffies and snuggly spaniels, they're our furry friends we want by our sides.
A trip to the pub is a perfect outing, come rain or shine, but it can be so hard to leave our dogs at home. Which is why at Chef & Brewer, we've got plenty of dog-friendly spots to ensure no one misses out on the fun.
You can find all of our dog-friendly pubs near you in a matter of seconds. Simply enter your town or postcode into our pub finder and join us at your local Chef & Brewer.
Always a warm welcome for you and your dog
We pride ourselves on a warm welcome to all visitors, and our dog-friendly pubs will make you feel right at home. Whether you’re up early to beat the midday heat, planning a relaxing lunch after a hearty stroll or looking for a drink and a bite to eat to round off a busy day, stop by and settle in.
Some of our pubs only allow dogs in pub areas, rather than dining, so it’s always worth ringing ahead to check. But they’re welcome in all of our pub beer gardens, which is perfect for those sunny days when you want to enjoy the fresh air. We can always provide a water bowl to keep your dog’s thirst quenched, plus some of our pubs have extra treats and biscuits to keep their tails wagging,

Any opportunity for a perfect pub stroll
There’s nothing quite like a country walk followed by a great pub meal. In fact, at Chef & Brewer, we think the two are the perfect pairing. That’s why we’ve teamed up with AllTrails to help you plan your next pub trip and scenic stroll.
You can discover nearby routes with ease and tailor them to your preference. You can even filter by dog-friendly routes, whether you’re in the mood for a gentle ramble or a more adventurous stomp.
Fuel up with a hearty meal at Chef & Brewer before a post-pub stroll to walk it off. Or get your steps in and work up an appetite before unwinding with a delicious dish and a glass of something special. You can pop by on a Sunday and enjoy one of our roasts, complete with all the trimmings. The perfect way to round off the weekend.
Find a dog friendly location
If you're visiting one of our dog-friendly pubs, please remember the following:
- Dogs are welcome in designated dog-friendly pubs at the manager's discretion. We apologise for any inconvenience.
- Please make sure you and your four-legged friend are considerate of other guests... and other dogs!
- We love wagging tails and excitable characters, but where possible we'd love for you to help keep barking to a minimum.
- Our team are usually busy serving food and collecting glasses, so for their safety dogs should always be kept on a lead in both inside and outside seating areas.
- We like to keep our pubs looking their best, so please keep dogs off sofas, chairs and other furniture.
