The Bolton Arms is a traditional Swaledale pub tucked in the village of Downholme, a few miles from Richmond. Dogs are welcome inside in the bar area, where you and your lead supervisor can settle in for a proper meal and a pint.
The venue serves a full pub menu alongside local ales and Yorkshire staples, making it a useful stop when you're out exploring the Dales with the dog. The pub holds lounge and bar areas, with food available in the dog-friendly bar.
Opening hours run from late afternoon on Mondays, with longer service Tuesday to Sunday, including all-day opening at weekends. A handy wider-radius choice for anyone visiting Swaledale or the surrounding fells, the Bolton Arms offers a proper Yorkshire welcome where your dog won't need to wait outside while you eat.
