Dog-friendly pubs in Gosforth

A seventeenth-century hall turned inn in Gosforth, the last village of any size before Wasdale, with a bar that serves the full menu to walkers straight off the fells. Dogs are welcome in the bar and the beer garden; the restaurant is kept dog-free.

A refurbished village pub on Gosforth square, more sports bar than fell-walkers' snug, with a big screen, a pool table and thirteen rooms above. It publishes a dog-friendly bar and beer garden and, unusually for this corner of Cumbria, an actual menu for dogs: a plain beef burger called the Woof Whopper at five pounds, sausages at two pounds, cooked chicken at three, dog ice cream and a berry frozen yoghurt. It is the obvious stop on the way in or out of Wasdale, ten minutes from Nether Wasdale and twenty from Wasdale Head. Nothing is published about dogs in the bedrooms.
