Can anybody recommend any good pubs that allow dogs and serve food.

There's a couple out at Edale and Hathersage, but does anybody know of any closer to Sheffield?

And does anybody know where we can take the dog to watch the footy? (premiership matches, mostly)

I've been in the Fat cat with ma dags before. Two greyhounds and a lurcher. The women behind the bar said it was fine, dunno if thats all the time or only when it quiet.

Great beer, excellent food, crackin atmosphere.

Devonshire Arms, Herries Road........full of dogs most nights!

Wortley Arms, old country pub, Wortley and surrounding area is great for dog walking.

Bit further out but The Rockingham Arms at Wentworth is dog friendly and serves good food.

Brilliant! We'll have to try that!

Thanks for all the suggestions.

We've tried the Cricket Inn, Penny Lane, Totley. That's quite good, and you get lots of dogs in there. Brude loves making friends!

If ever you're out in Derbyshire, the Red Lion in Litton does great food - and dogs are very welcome. In fact, they're more welcome than kids!

Cheers, Carrie

Three Merry Lads maybe? In town the Kelham Island Tav also does food, excellent beer, and I've definately seen dogs there as well. Foods simple, but it's worth it for the beer, and the lovely surroundings.

www.doggiepubs.org.uk has some listings - altho' it's not very comprehensive.

On a similar topic, does anyone know if the Rising Sun on Abbey Lane allows four-legged friends through the door? It's soon to be our local pub - and Jazz the mutt will be most displeased if she's not allowed the occasional half of bitter!

Cheers, Carrie

The Sportsman at Redmires (just past the old Lodge Moor Hospital).

In fact we seem to get volunteers to look after our giddy pup when we're eating!

Also, probably THE best home made pub food in Sheffield, and outragously cheap for the quality.

We go to the Grouse near Froggatt Edge pretty often. Very good nosh at reasonable prices, and they welcome the dog as long as he's on a lead. In fact, I think they recognize us by him.

If it's just beer you fancy the Sheaf View on Heeley green is not only fantastic (although you have to fight the beardy beer bores to get served), but happy to let the canines in. Is really good in summer as has a nice outdoorsy bit.

The Bridge Inn at Ford (below Ridgeway off White Lane).
Good walking spot and good food.

Looks like we'll be kept occupied over the coming weekends! Thanks for all the suggestions. And if you see a beagle staggering about one of these establishments over the next couple of months, say 'Hi Brid'!

Well, reading this thread I will definately be visiting the Wortley Arms and Rockingham Arms with my dog Didn't know these two places allowed dogs and served food.

Out of interest do you think they'll serve the wife too?

Fagans on Broad Lane does superb saturday and sunday lunches - amazing roast beef dinners and all day breakfasts, homecooked lamb and veggie curries, lots of fish and vegetarian choices, real homemade chips - not freezer chips.

Dogs welcome in pub. Very friendly and laid back ambience.

For anyone who doesn't know it Fagans is an unspoilt old pub just at the edge of the city centre. The landlord is exceptionally proud of his cooking - and his beer

You'll get one of the best pints of Guinness in Sheffield and beautifully kept Moonshine. Even the Tetleys is nice.

Thanks Rophone, I was beginning to think the list had been exhausted - perhaps there's more out there?

The Hare & hounds at Dore used to be a good dog pub, as druids used to goi in at late night & take dogs in there! I used to take my russell in there when i was a regular.
Thats when it was hardcore!, good Rock music, plenty of disfunctional people.
Now,it's run by those cheesedicks at 'Ember inns' the pub is now for the upercrust! & is doing bad, i'm so glad!

Purely in the name of research my two canine friends Bonnie and Clive and myself, plus one human went to the Bridge Inn at Ford for lunch today to test their dog/food policy. Very friendly welcome, really bad house red wine (screw top Valpolicella which I was assured should be ok as it was 'only opened yesterday'...food typical staple 'pub grub'okay. Only drawback is that dogs are not allowed into main bar of pub so you sit in some kind of draughty corridor thing from where through little windows you can see into the main bar where it looks all cosy and warm and well - better than the corridor. Felt like a little waif from a Dickens novel with my nose pressed up against the window looking at all the rich people having a better time inside.... dogs were ok though.

Clever dog that Strix - does he not like a walk or a bit of ball throwing like most of 'em then?
