We cherish being able to bring our people-loving pooch into the community. Whether it's a peaceful walk in Wandlebury Country Park or a fun outing into the centre of Cambridge, our dogs are more than just pets - they're our family. So, what better way to enjoy a day out during the warmer months than to find a pub where our canine companion is just as (well, probably more likely) welcome as we are?
Here's our guide to some amazing dog-friendly pubs where everyone can relax and enjoy.
1. The Eagle
I think we all know the famous drinking and thinking hub where Watson and Crick announced they had discovered 'the secret of life'. However, did you know that it's actually dog-friendly?
2. The Cambridge Brew House
One of my personal favourites is The Cambridge Brew House, which is described as a playful eclectic decor pub with a micro-brewery, featuring home-smoked British tapas and sharing platters. The Cambridge Brew House has indoor and outdoor seating appropriate for both you and your four-legged friends.
3. The Free Press
The Free Press is a lovely, dog-friendly and relatively quiet local pub that has outdoor seating and serves food at the bar. This is a great option if you're into clean and presented, but not overly-fancy pubs.
4. The Punter
Another gem just outside the centre of Cambridge. The Punter is a cosy pub overlooking a secluded garden courtyard, with 1930s-era artwork jumbled about the walls, and is obviously dog-friendly!
5. Fort Saint George
This place is nice and spacious inside and is dog-friendly. Perfect for our (lacking) sunny days as there is seating both inside and outdoors.
6. The Cambridge Blue
This Cambridge Blue has plenty of outdoor seating and is a great, traditional pub inside. Welcoming well-behaved pooches, it's definitely earned itself a spot on our list of recommendations.
Some of our additional recommendations include:
- Green Man Cambridge
- The Old Spring
- Granta
- The Plough (Bar Area)
- The Alexandra Arms
We hope you get the chance to try some of these local gems with your four-legged friends!
