Dog-friendly Beverley and around

A one-room micropub on two levels tucked up Swaby’s Yard off Dyer Lane, opened in 2013 by a CAMRA member and still independent. Five handpulls cover bitter, pale, IPA and something dark, with eight keg lines and up to six ciders, and there is a small outdoor drinking area for warm evenings. It is a talking pub with no machines and no television, so a settled dog fits in and a bouncy one will be noticed. The dog-friendly listing is CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed by branch volunteers on 15 January 2026, not the bar’s own words.

A street-corner pub at 2 Norwood, on the A1035 at the north end of Beverley near the bus station and a short walk from Beverley railway station. It is the handiest dog-friendly pub in town if you have arrived by train and are heading for the Westwood. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A Victorian street-corner local on Norwood, the A1035 through the top of town, a couple of minutes from the bus station and about six hundred metres from Beverley railway station. It closed and then reopened in November 2019, and the two-room layout was put back with advice from the local CAMRA pub preservation officer, so it reads as a proper old boozer rather than a refit. There is off-street parking directly opposite, which is unusual this close to the middle of Beverley. The dog-friendly listing is CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed by branch volunteers on 7 October 2020, rather than the pub’s own statement.

A plain local at 3 Beckside North, on the water at the head of Beverley Beck beside the Barge Preservation Society moorings, and the first or last building on the Beck towpath depending which way you walk it. Nothing about it is smart, which is rather the point after five miles of flood bank. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A Grade II listed building of about 1751 standing on Saturday Market, licensed since it was built and now a Craft Union house with four cask ales, two regular and two changing. It is a locals' pub, open from ten in the morning and late on Fridays and Saturdays, with lunchtime and evening food and sport on the screens, and it fills up on racedays when the Westwood is busy. Straight across the square from the Saturday Market car park, so it is the easy first stop coming off Black Mill. The dog-friendly listing is CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed by branch volunteers on 27 April 2020 and last updated on 23 July 2023, not the pub's own words.

A large suburban pub at 75 Molescroft Road on the north-west edge of Beverley, five minutes on foot from the free Hudson Way car park off Woodhall Way. That makes it the trailhead pub for the rail trail and for anyone coming off the top end of the Westwood. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

The oldest pub in Beverley, on Highgate right under the north side of the Minster, with a second way in from Eastgate through the back yard. A small front bar with cast iron Reynolds tables opens into a long main room that runs back past a little restaurant area, and behind that is a walled garden with the Minster towers over the wall plus a rear courtyard. It is the natural stop at the end of a Beck or Minster walk and the yard entrance means you are not dragging a wet dog through the front bar. The dog policy is from CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed by Hull and East Yorkshire branch volunteers on 30 January 2026, rather than from the pub.

A modern bistro bar in a listed Georgian building on Flemingate, a couple of minutes from the Minster and five hundred metres from Beverley station, in what was Hodgsons and still keeps Hodgsons Snug to the right of the door. There is a pizza oven behind the bar and a big garden out the back fitted with private timber sheds you can eat in, which is the useful bit with a wet dog off the Beck towpath. Cask Marque five out of five, darts and board games, and acoustic music Friday through Sunday. The dog-friendly listing is CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed by branch volunteers on 14 April 2025, not the bar's own words.

A corner pub on Wednesday Market, the smaller of Beverley’s two market squares, a couple of minutes from the Minster and from the top of Flemingate. Wednesday Market is where the town’s buses turn and where most of the Minster walking routes begin. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A pub on North Bar Without, just outside the medieval North Bar gate on the road out towards the Westwood and the racecourse. It is a five-minute walk from the Newbald Road edge of the common, so it catches people coming off the pasture as well as the North Bar residents. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A narrow old pub at 1 Flemingate, the bottom corner of Beverley where the street runs down past the Minster towards Beckside and the head of the Beck. It is the closest pub to the Beverley Beck towpath start and gets the walkers, the Flemingate cinema crowd and the Minster visitors all at once. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A pub at 53 Lairgate, the long Georgian street that runs down the west side of Beverley between Saturday Market and the Guildhall. It is about ten minutes’ walk from the Westwood Road cattle grid, which makes it a sensible finish for a lap of the common. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

Two nineteenth-century cottages knocked together on Westwood Road, five minutes from Saturday Market and about the same from the Westwood cattle grid, which makes it the obvious pint after a lap of the common. The tiny snug seats only a handful of people and is the room dogs tend to end up in, though the main room behind the bar takes them too. Three changing cask beers, a courtyard out the back and food cooked fresh on the day. The dog policy here comes from CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed on the ground by Hull and East Yorkshire branch volunteers on 8 May 2026, rather than from the pub itself.

A 1930s John Smith's house on Ladygate beside Browns, run by the same family since 1972 and split into three: a bar with a period brick fireplace and bentwood seating, a front lounge with an open fire, and a rear snug. Three regular casks, two changing and a real cider on handpull, with good-value home-cooked lunches. Dogs are welcome in the bar at any time but in the lounge only once food service has finished, so an early evening pint is easier here than a lunchtime one. There are six purpose-built en-suite rooms at the back, though whether a dog may sleep in one is not published, so ask when you book. The dog policy here is CAMRA WhatPub, surveyed by branch volunteers on 16 January 2026, not the pub's own words.

An award-winning cafe and haberdashery on Walkergate, a minute from Saturday Market and a couple from the Butcher Row car park, open nine till four every day but Christmas Day and Boxing Day. The shop's own words could not be clearer: "Dogs are most welcome across all our premises, and we can supply water and treats to keep your canine content." There is a menu for dogs as well as one for people, which is a rare thing this side of the Wolds. It is the obvious warm-up stop before walking out to the Westwood.

The finest parish church in England sits at the bottom of Highgate with open lawns on three sides, and those lawns are the easiest bit of green in the middle of Beverley. The Minster itself takes assistance dogs only, and the Sanctuary and Herb Garden is reached through the building so it is assistance dogs only as well. The Secret Garden and the Quiet Garden, both off Highgate by the Parish Centre at number 38, are the two you can actually use, and the Minster says well behaved dogs are welcome in them provided you clear up. The grounds outside carry a long-standing council Dogs on Leads order, so clip the lead on at the churchyard edge.

Six converted farm buildings on Beverley Road at Walkington, three miles out of Beverley on the Wolds side, sleeping between two and twelve and graded five star gold. The owners write the dog policy in the dog's own voice and it is unusually specific: up to two small or medium dogs, Labrador-sized or under, in every cottage except High Barn where three are allowed. It is thirty pounds a dog in most of them and forty in High Barn and the Cart House because they are bigger. Dogs are not allowed in the bedrooms or bathrooms and stairgates are provided, dogs must be over a year old, house-trained and not a Dangerous Dogs Act breed, and if you go out you need to bring a crate or use the kennel.

A riverside pub on Weel Road at Tickton, right by Hull Bridge where the road crosses the River Hull, and the natural finish of the Beverley Beck and River Hull flood-bank walk. There is a big garden running down towards the water and moorings for boats coming up the river. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A big mock-Tudor pub at East End in Walkington, three miles south-west of Beverley and about a mile off the southern corner of the Westwood. Walkington sits between the common and the wold edge, so this is the usual turning point for a long circuit off Beverley rather than a town pub. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A village pub at 34 Main Street in Cherry Burton, a mile north of the old Cherry Burton station on the Hudson Way rail trail and the obvious break on the Molescroft-to-Cherry Burton stretch. The village is quiet, the walk in from the trail is on lanes, and the pub is the only public building of any size in it. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A small free house at 34 Main Street in Etton, a Wolds-edge village four miles north-west of Beverley with a beck running through it and nothing else commercial in the place. It sits roughly midway between the Hudson Way at Cherry Burton and the Kiplingcotes cutting, so it works as a mid-walk stop on a long day out. This is listed as dog friendly in the Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA branch dog-friendly pub guide, compiled by branch volunteers who survey the pubs on the ground, rather than being the pub’s own published policy.

A village-centre pub near the top of Hallgate in Cottingham, split between a traditional public bar and a quieter lounge, with a beer garden and a side courtyard and the old brewery behind converted into a function room. It keeps four cask ales, runs a Tuesday quiz and hosts the annual Cottingham music festival. Dogs are allowed, but the record is specific that they are confined to the public bar, so the lounge and the food side are not open to them. That restriction comes from CAMRA's WhatPub survey record rather than the pub's own words.

On Market Green in the middle of Cottingham, which claims to be England's largest village and is East Riding rather than Hull, this is a straightforward local with a fully stocked bar and a beer garden. The pub's own site says well-behaved dogs are welcome in the bar area, and that it keeps water bowls and treats for them; the wording is specific to the bar, so do not assume the dining side. Food runs Tuesday to Sunday, from noon, with the pub closed on Mondays. Cottingham's Memorial Gardens and Hallgate are a two-minute walk away.

An imposing locally listed mock-Tudor roadhouse on the corner of Beverley Road and Endike Lane in north Hull, with a separate lounge and bar, a restaurant, a function room, a garden, its own car park and rooms upstairs. Children are limited to the lounge and only until 7pm, but no such qualifier is attached to the dogs, and nothing is published about whether they are allowed in the letting rooms. It is a five-minute drive from the Hull to Hornsea rail trail head and on the Beverley Road bus corridor. Hull City Council governs here and runs no dog control Public Spaces Protection Order of any kind. The dog-friendly listing comes from CAMRA's WhatPub survey record rather than the pub's own words.

A large hotel in its own grounds on Grange Park Lane in Willerby, about fifteen minutes' drive west of Hull city centre, with free parking and a fitness centre. Its own site says the hotel is dog friendly and welcomes small dogs if they are well behaved and quiet, one pet per room, at a charge; dogs are not allowed in the restaurant, so meals mean either room service or leaving the dog behind. Willerby is East Riding of Yorkshire, not Hull, so it is East Riding's dog control Public Spaces Protection Order that governs the ground outside; its only dog exclusions are four named North Sea beach stretches at Bridlington, Hornsea and Withernsea between 1 May and 30 September.
