Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

27 Aug 2026

The Castle Tavern is a welcoming pub right in the heart of Richmond's market place, where locals, visitors and dogs are always welcome inside the cosy bar.

Whether you're breaking up a castle walk or settling in after exploring the town, it's the sort of spot where the whole group can relax over a pint and nobody has to wait outside. Food is served Thursday to Sunday lunchtimes, so your dog can supervise proceedings from under the table while you tuck into lunch. The pub also offers guest rooms if you're planning a longer stay, making it a useful base for dog owners exploring the Yorkshire Dales.

Open from midday most days and from 11am at weekends, the Castle Tavern holds its own as a proper market-square pub with a straightforward dogs-inside welcome and the kind of atmosphere that suits muddy paws and tangled leads.
