Doggie Pubs Site Overview

Basically there are three criteria that supporters give the thumbs up to:

1. where good wines and beer are well kept
2. where you can eat well
3. where your well-behaved dog is welcome to be with you while you eat.

Some pubs welcome children but exclude dogs - this is not our favourite rule, we prefer more traditional country inns. Some pubs only allow dogs at outside tables - OK - but some of those won’t serve food outside [truly!] - not OK. Tell us about pubs which do well in the above three categories and we will list them on this non-commercial site.

Many pubs allow dogs in the bars but but will not serve food there. OK but not OK enough: if you cannot comfortably eat with your hound in a dog friendly bar then the pub does not qualify for a listing with us.

The commonest excuses about not allowing dogs are "it’s the regulations", or "Brussels", or "they wurrrah-wurrrah the bar stools". Fair enough, but we are not sure why "the regulations" apply to some pubs and not others. Any ideas? Please let Millie know. Millie@DoggiePubs.org.uk

If you like the idea of Doggie Pubs, become a supporter. All you need to do is feel keen enough to spread the word, and let us know you would like to be included on our listing of supporters, see alongside. You may disclose your rank as supporter whenever you think it is likely to get you a free pint.

Note to pub landlords
Here is a quote from Adam Edwards who has been searching for the best traditional country pubs. He had some rough-and-ready rules: "The pub must serve decent beer [and] be part of the local community. The food must be simple and good, but should not eclipse the important business of drinking. It should not be so popular that the locals have been squeezed out, nor so exclusive that it did not welcome the colonel and the cleaning lady. Ideally, there should be no piped music, no microwaves and no electronic games. Dogs, gumboots and smoking must be allowed. Children could be seen, but should not be heard......."
