I have lost count at the number of times we get asked about dog friendly pubs in the Cambridge Foodies Facebook group.

It’s an important question, as Cambridgeshire is a great place for dogs, with some fantastic pubs for a mid-walk pit stop. But it can be incredibly disheartening to be denied access just because of a stuffy pub landlord. As the owner of 3 border collies myself, I know how it feels. For that reason, I decided to write a list of all the dog friendly pubs in the Cambridge area I can find and share it with you!

This list is ongoing. Please let me know if any of the information is out of date or I have missed a pub.
