Dog Friendly Pubs in and around Rutland

As a dog owner, I'm always searching for dog-friendly pubs around the area that we can visits with friends and family after a walk or somewhere we can go where we don't have to leave our pooch home alone.

Meet our Pug, Arla.

I thought I can't be the only Rutlander forever searching for dog friendly pubs, I thought it was the perfect time to share which pubs in and around Rutland are doggy friendly!

The George & Dragon, Seaton

Another pub I have visited for many years is the G&D in Seaton and recently renovated (2017). The bar area is very dog-friendly where you can eat and drink and it's lovely to sit in the beer garden or out the front admiring the village in the sunnier months. The G&D was actually the place we first took our families Cocker Spaniel puppies for their first outing.

The Exeter Arms, Barrowden

Growing up in Harringworth and with my grandparents living in Barrowden I have visited The Exeter Arms many times. Last year the Wade family took over the pub, who are also from Barrowden. The large beer garden, bar and outdoor bench make it a perfect spot for you and your pooch in this spring and summer months.
