Dog-friendly pubs in Stokesley

A small tap room and micro-pub in the middle of Stokesley, all cask and craft and no fruit machines. Well behaved dogs are welcomed indoors as well as in the beer garden, and the owners say so in as many words on their own FAQ.

A High Street pub in Stokesley, a few doors along from the market square and a short walk from the River Leven path. Its own site states that dogs are welcome in both the pub and the beer garden, with no condition beyond being well behaved, so a muddy dog off the Cleveland Hills does not have to be tied up outside. The garden is at the back, out of the wind that funnels down the High Street.

An 18th-century real-ale institution at the west end of Stokesley's handsome market town, home of the Captain Cook Brewery which brews just behind the pub, and a Good Beer Guide fixture for over 30 consecutive years. Dogs are welcome, and a huge jar of gravy-bone biscuits sits on the bar. A sheltered outdoor drinking area overlooks the brewery.

A gastropub at Springfield on the edge of Stokesley, serving food from noon until late seven days a week, with a large outdoor area including the main beer garden. The pub bills itself as dog friendly on its own site and keeps a dog-friendly area indoors, but it does not publish which rooms that covers, so ask before you settle in the restaurant half. Parking on site, which makes it a workable finish to the River Leven walk.
