Cockermouth · 3 checked & stamped
Fires, flagstones and no side-eye at the bar. Every pub below lets the dog in — and we say exactly which rooms.
A three-roomed free house on Kirkgate with a long list of real ales and bottled beer from around the world, and a CAMRA pub of the season badge to go with it. It states plainly that it is dog friendly, and the pub food is a step above the usual.
A Main Street pub of nearly two hundred years standing, a few doors along from Wordsworth House and at the end of the Watch Hill and Allerdale Ramble routes back into town. Well-behaved dogs are welcomed into the bar area, with water bowls and treats put out; the pub does not extend that to the rest of the building. It is one of the more reliable stops in Cockermouth for a dog on a wet day, most of the town's cafes being counter service with limited seating.
One of the older drinking houses in the Georgian part of Cockermouth, on Kirkgate a short walk from Main Street and the Derwent. Its own site says plainly that it is a dog-friendly pub and that well-behaved dogs are welcome, without carving out a particular room. Six or so real ales are usually on, some of them from the local brewery, and the pub functions as a community room as much as a bar, with board games out and groups meeting through the week.
