Black Lion Hotel

The Black Lion Hotel is a traditional pub-hotel in the heart of Richmond, right on Finkle Street a short walk from the market place and castle.

Dogs are welcome inside the pub, so you can settle in for food and drinks without the lead-and-logistics shuffle. The kitchen serves lunch and dinner daily, with food available Monday to Friday from midday until 3pm and again from 5pm to 9pm, running straight through noon to 9pm at weekends. The pub itself is open seven days a week from midday until 11pm, giving you plenty of scope for a post-walk pint or a proper meal after a day exploring the town.

It's a handy central stop when you're navigating Richmond with a dog in tow — indoor seating, decent opening hours and the sort of solid pub hospitality that makes wet-paw days much easier.
