Eastfield Farm Coffee Shop

A garden centre with a large cafe on Bawtry Road on the south side of Tickhill, and the most practical indoor stop with a dog anywhere in this corner of the borough. The company publishes the rule plainly: well behaved dogs are permitted in store and in designated areas of the cafes, and those areas have pet drinking stations. Dogs must be kept on a lead throughout the store and you are responsible for clearing up any accident. It opens 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Saturday and 10.30am to 4.30pm on Sunday, with a large free car park, which makes it a sensible meeting point before a walk round Tickhill.

A stone pub on Sunderland Street in Tickhill that began as a farmhouse in the sixteenth century and still has three rooms, including a barrel-shaped snug with a real fire whose cask-made furniture is on CAMRA's national inventory of historic pub interiors. Up to four real ales, a garden, its own car park and a fire to dry a dog by make it the best stop in the village after a circuit of the Millpond and the castle earthworks five minutes away. It is a busy community local so it can be tight for space at peak times. CAMRA's WhatPub entry records it as dog friendly with no room named; that is the published evidence rather than the pub's own words.

A village pub on Westgate at the Doncaster end of Tickhill, reopened in 2023 by licensees who had spent years in the trade around Bawtry and had won CAMRA awards for it. Behind the pub is a large paved outdoor area with planted borders and hanging baskets, which is the easiest place to park a wet dog after a circuit of the Tickhill millpond and the castle mound five minutes up the road. Inside it is a straightforward drinking pub with two or three cask ales, a function room and a Wednesday quiz, closed on Mondays. The dog welcome is recorded on CAMRA's WhatPub entry, surveyed in January 2026, rather than published by the pub itself.
