What makes a great dog-friendly pub? For us it\u2019s all about the details: treats on the bar, fresh water bowls, maybe a garden with plenty of shade. For our dogs, it\u2019s mostly a case of sniffing other dogs and getting a good belly rub from any passers-by. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever you\u2019re looking for, finding a good pub that loves dogs often feels like a mission accomplished \u2013 and there\u2019s nothing better than a recommendation from fellow dog owners. That\u2019s why we picked out five of our favourites to share with you. Cheers!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Railway Inn – Whitacre Heath, Birmingham<\/span><\/h2>\n

This traditional country pub allows dogs in the bar area where they are as well looked-after as their owners. Reviewers say that \u201cnothing is too much trouble\u201d for the team there, with a wide range of food, drinks and entertainment. And there\u2019s an outside play area that\u2019s fun for kids \u2013 and dogs too.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fox and Hounds – Reading, Berkshire<\/span><\/h2>\n

Set in the charming village of Theale on the outskirts of Reading, the Fox and Hounds was named the UK\u2019s most Dog-Friendly Pub. And it\u2019s easy to see why \u2013 not only do they offer dogs a warm welcome every day, they also raise money for local dog charities with an annual dog show and doggy calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dogs are welcome in the bar, restaurant and the large beer garden, and the friendly staff are known to make a real fuss of their four-legged visitors. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Brown Dog – Barnes, London<\/span><\/h2>\n

Barnes is one of the most dog-friendly places in London, and the Brown Dog is a great example of this \u2013 it\u2019s not uncommon to find the place filled with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Fortunately, there\u2019s plenty of space for them to run and play. And the landlord\u2019s dog is always on hand to greet every dog who stops by.<\/span><\/p>\n
