dog friendly pub Yorkshire

At Benchmark Kennels, we are on a mission to ensure all pets are well-cared for, happy and healthy.

From training and safety, to lockdown tips and dog kennels, we’re here to help our customers and their pets. That’s why we want to round up the best dog-friendly pubs in Yorkshire, so that when they reopen, you can take your buddy with you.

It’s no secret that our pets are enjoying the 24/7 company at the moment, but they aren’t prepared for that to suddenly change. We want to help ease your pets back into ‘normal’ life, so vote for your favourite dog friendly pub in Yorkshire so other families know where to go with their pups.

If you can’t see your favourite on the list, tick ‘other’ at the end of the survey and add your favourite.

We will release the top 10 when lockdown restrictions are lifted and we’re able to visit these pubs safely.

*Update* Please note when leaving comments:

Please include the full name and location of the pub you are commenting on. If you wish to add a pub to the list, please use the last checkbox ‘other’ to add your suggestion and we will update our survey. Recommendations in the comment section of this post will not be counted, only those in the ‘other’ checkbox will be counted.

      The crown and cushion in Welburn, very welcoming to both my dogs and also me. They always have dog biscuits at the ready with lots of cuddles to give them. We always enjoy the nice company of all staff they are always so polite and caring. We are very regular to this pub and we will continue to visit.

  2. Fountain Hotel Hawes. The heart of this Yorkshire Dales market town, The Fountain is a true family pub that welcomes dogs as much as any other customer. A rural business that doesn’t just accept dogs in the building because it gets paying customers in, but because they are people who have dogs and know that dogs are part of the family unit.

    Crown & Cushion are so welcoming with dog biscuits at the ready.
    After a nice dog walk there’s nothing better than a lit fire for the dog to rest in front of, a nice glass of something & a bowl of chips.
