No photo yet · the business adds these when they claim

A Greene King house on Church Street in the middle of Ambleside, open 11am to 11pm with food to 9pm, so it covers the gap when the cafes have shut and the restaurants have not opened. The chain publishes a full dog page for this pub: dogs are welcome inside, there is a bowl of water on request and treats behind the bar. The house rules are worth reading before you go, because they require a lead indoors as well as out and no dogs on the furniture. There is a beer garden at the back.

THE SMALL PRINTGreene King's published rules for this pub: "Dogs are welcome in designated dog-friendly pubs and bar areas at the manager's discretion"; "dogs should always be kept on a lead in both inside and outside seating areas"; and "please keep dogs off sofas, chairs and other furniture". The welcome is to designated areas at the manager's discretion rather than the whole building.
