Looking for dog-friendly pubs in Portchester?
Taking your dog to the pub has never been easier! Dogs love exploring the sights and smells of new surroundings, especially when they can do so by their beloved owner's side. So why leave them at home when you can bring them with you to a dog-friendly pub? All are welcome at the Red Lion.
The nation's favourite pet
At Red Lion ,we LOVE dogs! To us, there’s nothing better than a pub trip with your four-legged friend in tow, and we think they enjoy it just as much! We're proud to have cosy surroundings, a welcoming team and the odd treat (or two) waiting for them.
With more than 11 million dogs living in our homes across the UK, it's no surprise that they're the nation's favourite pet. These days, more places are starting to welcome dogs inside their doors, and with good reason!
Whether you have a bouncy labrador, a pampered Pomeranian, an elegant saluki, or a humble mutt, dogs deserve to be treated to a good day out too. Our dogs thrive when they're welcomed as a part of the family, and, let's be honest, they're absolutely wonderful company.
And there are loads of benefits to owning a dog (or two!). Not only are they naturally stress-relieving, they also give us more motivation to get out and about in the fresh air. Their companionship is legendary, and over the centuries we've become the best of friends.
Warm and Waggy Welcomes
When your furry friend walks into our pub, expect a welcome fit for a king. As they trot their way to your table, they’ll lap up all the loving from our dog-loving staff and our pooch-inclined guests, and they might even get a little treat if they’re a good boy or girl.
And while you sip on something a little stronger, there’s always a bowl of 0% ABV waiting for your dog to keep them refreshed after their journey to visit us. Whether you’ve just popped round for one or you’re here for the long haul, Red Lion is the perfect place for them to lie down, take it easy and relax.
Best friends and members of the family
Anyone who has ever shared their home with a dog will tell you, they're so much more than simply pets! Dogs all have unique personalities and charm, and are much-loved members of the family.
They are our best friends and constant companions, always ready to share good times, adventures, and love with their family. No wonder they are one of the nation's favourite animals!
We understand that you don’t want to leave them out of family day trips or celebrations. We also know that sometimes it’s just not practical to have them at home alone - so bring them with you to the Red Lion.
If you’re planning a day out and will be taking the dog along with you, the Red Lion is a lovely dog-friendly pub in Portchester that’s also packed with fun. And if Nan slips the dog a bit of her chicken under the table? We didn’t see a thing.
A few tips to bear in mind when visiting one of our dog-friendly pubs:
- Dogs are welcome in designated dog-friendly pubs and bar areas at the manager's discretion. We apologise for any inconvenience.
- Please make sure you and your four-legged friend are considerate of other guests... and other dogs!
- We love wagging tails and excitable characters, but where possible, we'd love for you to help keep barking to a minimum.
- Our team is usually busy serving food and collecting glasses, so for their safety, dogs should always be kept on a lead in both inside and outside seating areas.
- We like to keep our pubs looking their best, so please keep dogs off sofas, chairs and other furniture. Paws on floors, please!
