IF YOU have a pet dog, then Herefordshire is the perfect place for a walk followed by a stop at the pub.
These are six of the best venues, based on reviews from dog friendly.co.uk, which all offer a warm welcome to dogs.
New Harp Inn, Hoarwithy
Based in the Wye Valley at Hoarwithy, the pub is really good for four-legged friends.
The New Harp is a convenient pub if you’re travelling between Ross and Hereford as of course the riverside village is not far off the A49.
Right in the heart of Hoarwithy, the pub serves quality food, beers, ciders, ales and wine.
Royal Oak, Much Marcle
Just off the A449 between Ross and Ledbury, the Royal Oak is a traditional pub where the bar and beer garden are both dog friendly.
The pub at Much Marcle also prides itself as a place where friendly staff will provide water bowls to your dog.
Offering pub lunches, pints of ale and cider produced in Herefordshire, the menu also includes what the Royal Oak dubs a “very popular fish pie.”
Oak Inn, Staplow
Described as a “quintessentially tradition English country pub and restaurant”, the Oak Inn near Ledbury is dog friendly in all dining areas except in the restaurant.
Open seven days a week, the pub is very proud to source ingredients from Herefordshire and also offers four en-suite B&B rooms.
Red Lion, Cradley
A very dog-friendly pub as mentioned in the description, the Red Lion was restored as a community venue in 2017, a place to “enjoy good company, good beer and good food.”
The Red Lion, just off the A4103, offers Greek cuisine, gluten-free options, vegetarian and vegan dishes, as well as good hospitality.
With a wide selection of craft beers on offer, the Red Lion pitches itself as a pub which offers a relaxing atmosphere.
White Lion, Leominster
Serving homemade food, real ales, lagers, ciders and wine, the White Lion is a free house not far from Leominster train station. It’s dog-friendly, which makes it perfect for the list.
Just off Worcester Road, the pub is also vegetarian and vegan-friendly, with gluten-free options.
The beer garden is large for the kids to stay entertained and opening times are Monday to Sunday, with a traditional roast on Sunday!
Pandy Inn, Dorstone
The Pandy Inn based in the gorgeous Golden Valley is supposedly the oldest pub in Herefordshire.
Known for good portions of food using local ingredients and a friendly staff, dogs are welcome to visit the Pandy Inn as guests.
An award-winning traditional pub, a lounge bar in the winter makes it a good place to visit as well as a patio and beer garden in the summer.
