Dog friendly pubs in Evesham, Worcestershire

Looking on Tripadvisor, quite a few pubs in Evesham seem to be dog friendly. However, many of them make no mention of this on their website or Facebook page, so I am reluctant to include them in here in case that is no longer applicable. I have only listed pubs that explicitly say on either social media or the website that they are dog friendly.

The Norton Grange, Evesham

The Norton Grange is a traditional dog friendly pub in Norton, near Evesham, with original oak beams, a cosy interior and a large beer garden and patio for warmer days.

Address: Evesham Road, Norton, Evesham, Worcestershire, WR11 4TL

Dog friendly pubs in Kidderminster

Loads of the pubs in Kidderminster seem to be owned by Marston’s. Whilst I have seen people saying on Google that some of these are dog friendly, I have found other information saying that Marston’s pubs are not dog friendly. In the absence of any information about their dog policy on their websites or social media, I haven’t included them in this list.

Mare & Colt, Kidderminster

Located in a Victorian building beside the A449, the Mare & Colt is in Summerfield village on the outskirts of Kidderminster. This old-fashioned pub offers real ale, British food and a garden area outside where patrons can sit under parasols.

Dog friendly pubs in Malvern

There are loads of dog friendly pubs in Malvern, with many of them ideally located for walking on the Malvern Hills.

The Brewer’s Arms, West Malvern

The Brewer’s Arms in West Malvern is an extremely unusual pub. It has been open and closed multiple times over the past few years, until the community clubbed together to buy it at the end of 2022. It doesn’t look like they serve food every day, but they are open Wednesday to Sunday for drinks and serve pie and mash on Thursday evenings. The pub is dog friendly indoors and out, with stunning views across Herefordshire from the garden. This is a lovely place to stop on a Malvern hills dog walk, located almost directly below the top of the Worcestershire Beacon.

The Fox, Bransford

The Fox at Bransford is a short drive from Malvern but it is a friendly countryside pub with a nice menu that welcomes dogs. Located beside the River Teme, this Grade II listed pub serves traditional pub food. They sell real ales and have function rooms for events and meetings. This is both family and dog friendly, but it’s not clear whether this is throughout the pub or in the bar only. Do check they’re open before visiting, particularly in bad weather as this pub does sometimes flood due to its riverside location.

Address: Bransford Court Lane, Bransford, Worcestershire, WR6 5JL

The Nag’s Head, Malvern

The Nag’s Head is one of my favourite dog friendly pubs anywhere. Both the bar and restaurant are spacious with log fires and lots of little snugs. They serve posh pub food with great vegetarian and vegan options and an excellent selection of real ales. Look out for the fantastic vegan scotch eggs made locally that are often for sale at the bar. With dogs allowed in the pub, restaurant and two beer gardens, this is a great place to take your pooch. Dog treats are usually for sale on the bar to raise money for a local dog charity.

Address: 19-21 Bank Street, Malvern, Worcestershire, WR14 2JG

The Swan Inn, Newland

Serving something between posh pub food and gastro pub food, the Swan at Newland is a lovely place to go for a meal or drinks where your dog will be as welcome as you are. This one is outside of town but well worth the effort to get to, particularly if you’re eating. Dogs can go in the bar, restaurant and beer garden.

Address: Worcester Road, Newland, Malvern, Worcestershire, WR13 5AY

The Wyche Inn is right next to the Wyche Cutting between Malvern and Upper Colwall. With the right weather conditions, you will be literally above the clouds at this pub and the views are stunning.

Dog friendly pubs in Redditch

Finding dog friendly pubs in Redditch has been hard going! There are a few listed on Google but it looks like a lot of them do not in fact welcome dogs. However if you are in the area, the below pubs make it clear that they are dog friendly.

The Hart, Headless Cross, Redditch

Located at Headless Cross, the Hart is a traditional pub that welcomes children and encourages dogs. They do say that their courtyard is dog friendly, but I’m not sure if this means that dogs can’t go inside. However, the courtyard is heated so you won’t freeze if you do need to stay outdoors. The Hart serves artisan coffee, wines, spirits and cocktails. Food wise, they are proud of their chicken burgers and smashed patties as well as pub classics made on site.

Address: 157 Evesham Rd, Headless Cross, Redditch B97 5EJ

Dog friendly pubs in Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire

The Angel, Stourport-on-Severn

With a good selection of cask ales and gins, the Angel boasts a beer garden, accessible access and electric car charging points.

Dog friendly pubs in Upton-Upon-Severn, Worcestershire

Upton Upon Severn is a lovely place to visit with dogs. There are a lot of flat walks alongside the river as long as it’s not flooded. I can only find the Swan Hotel that lists itself as dog friendly on its website. However, I’m sure a lot of the other pubs accept dogs too and as they are all in very close proximity to one another, it’s worth calling in to check if you’re in the area.

The Swan Hotel, Upton-Upon-Severn

The Swan beside the banks of the River Severn is dog friendly throughout, including their accommodation. The building itself is rustic with low ceilings and characterful beams. The bar has always been very friendly and welcoming to everyone including dogs.

Dog friendly pubs near Worcestershire walks

One of the best things about Worcestershire is the number of lovely walks that end conveniently close to a welcoming pub. If you’re planning a day out with your dog, here are a few areas worth considering.

Malvern Hills: There are plenty of dog friendly pubs around the Malvern Hills, including the Nag’s Head, the Wyche Inn and the Brewer’s Arms. These are particularly good options if you want to combine a countryside walk with lunch or a drink.

Broadway: The village of Broadway is a lovely place to explore with dogs, and there are several welcoming pubs in the centre. You could combine a visit with a walk towards Broadway Tower.

Worcester: A walk beside the River Severn is a good option if you’re looking for something flatter. The Wheatsheaf is one of the dog friendly pubs worth considering.

Pershore and Upton-upon-Severn: Both towns have attractive riverside walking routes and dog friendly pubs where you can stop afterwards. Do check local conditions because riverside paths can flood.

For more inspiration, have a look at my guide to the best dog walks in the West Midlands, which includes walks across Worcestershire and the surrounding counties. I’ve also written about a selection of walks on the Malvern hills that I do regularly as this is my local dog walking and running route.
