“Dog friendly” is the most over-claimed phrase in hospitality, so this list only includes venues that say it themselves, in writing, on their own site. Where the welcome comes with conditions, the conditions are here too.
Indoors, no conditions
“We are a dog-friendly venue.” The Manchester taproom also has a wheelchair lift and an accessible cubicle, and children until 8pm.
Dog-friendly, and the most thorough accessibility page of anyone here: level access throughout, a dropped bar for wheelchair users, an accessible toilet, braille signage and two accessible parking spaces.
“Well-behaved dogs are always welcome in the Refectory and beer garden.” Worth flagging that the same page says there is no step-free access to the main bar.
“We're dog friendly and families are welcome too.” No on-site parking, though — their site tells you to use the side streets.
Dogs and other animals welcome in the taproom and courtyard, children too. The brewery tour itself is over-18s.
Dog friendly, with a dog menu. Children until 9pm. The outdoor yard tables are walk-in only.
Outside tables only
Four places welcome dogs, but not into the buildings. That is usually a food-hygiene line rather than an unfriendly one.
Not in the buildings or on the guided tour, but welcome in the courtyard and outside seating, and on the farm track walks on a lead.
“Dogs are allowed in the outside seating areas, but are not allowed in any of the buildings.”
Welcome at a table outside in the courtyard or on the terrace, on a lead at all times — not indoors.
In the café but not the farm shop, on short leads throughout.
Out among the vines
“Dogs are more than welcome” — with the reminder that it is a working vineyard and you are expected to clean up.
Runs a dog-friendly Walkies & Wine as a scheduled event, which is about as explicit as it gets.
Dogs welcome on leads, alongside a pub with rooms, a kitchen and free tickets for children.
And where they are not
Camel Valley, Nyetimber, Simpsons, Chapel Down and Thatchers all state the opposite on their own sites — guide and assistance dogs only, and in Thatchers' case no animals on the tour at all. Better to know now than at the gate.
