Dog-friendly pubs in Boroughbridge

A Grade II listed former roadhouse by the Tutt bridge, listed on CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors with the maximum three stars for its original stained glass and mock-Tudor front. It is run as a taproom now, with at least four rotating cask ales, a lounge fireplace, darts and a pool table, and dogs are welcome everywhere except the restaurant area. Benches at the front and a courtyard take the overflow in summer.

A proper community local a short walk from the River Ure, with an L-shaped carpeted bar at the front and a further room through an archway with a high table for standing drinkers. Dogs are welcome in the bar with no restrictions, which makes it a sensible first stop after a turn along the riverside. Unfussy, well used by villagers and quiet enough for a settled dog.

Thirteenth-century inn on St James Square in the heart of Boroughbridge, all low beams and open fires. Dogs on leads are welcome inside and out, and staff have been known to produce water and a chew without being asked; there are rooms too if you are breaking a journey up the A1.

A double-fronted, grey-washed inn on the roundabout just north of the town centre, pouring Timothy Taylor Boltmaker and Rudgate Jorvik Blonde beneath old photographs of Boroughbridge. Dogs are welcome in the bar and in the thirteen en-suite rooms, where the inn lays on dog beds, bowls and even dog beer, with a small cleaning charge for overnight stays. There is a covered seating area at the front for warmer afternoons.
