A two-room pub at 1 Aldham House Lane on the highest point of Wombwell, looking straight out over Wombwell Wood and down the Dearne valley. The two rooms have no door between them, so you go back outside to move from one to the other, which is either a nuisance or an easy excuse to take the dog round the block. There is a garden, a smoking shelter and its own car park, and the woods are a five-minute walk. CAMRA's Barnsley branch surveyors list it as dog friendly on a survey dated November 2018; the pub publishes no policy of its own, and cask ale is not currently kept.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The fire, the snug, the water bowl by the door.
A few dishes and what they cost, so people arrive knowing.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
Which rooms, which times, whether the whippet gets a biscuit.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Probably the oldest pub in Wombwell, built in 1847 at 66 Park Street and once the tap for the long-gone Geeves brewery, fully refurbished in 2021 under new owners. It is a three-roomed pub rather than one open space, so there is a quieter room to take a dog into away from the sports television, and there is a garden at the back. Children are allowed until 7pm and dogs are permitted throughout. It sits a few streets from Wombwell Park and the paths down to the Dearne. This is CAMRA's Barnsley branch record rather than a policy the pub publishes itself.
A renovated roadside pub at 105 Wombwell Lane between Wombwell and Stairfoot, with a new central bar splitting the inside into two separate drinking areas. Dogs are allowed in one of those areas and not the other, so ask which side before you settle. There is a big child friendly garden, covered seating at the front and its own car park, and the Trans Pennine Trail runs close by on the old railway through the Dearne valley. This is CAMRA's Barnsley branch record rather than anything the pub publishes itself.
A community pub on George Street in the middle of Wombwell, run by Craft Union, with a pool table, sports screens and an outside area at the back. The operator states "We are pet-friendly and we welcome everyone" and lists it as a dog friendly pub. It is wet-led rather than a food house, so this is a pint after the Wombwell Ings footpath rather than a Sunday lunch. Level access and an accessible toilet.
Nobody has written one for The Barley Sheaf. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
