The Crown at Ampney Brook

The Crown at Ampney Brook is a Cotswolds pub and restaurant where dogs are welcome inside and food is served throughout the day. You'll find it just east of Cirencester in Ampney Crucis, tucked into the quieter lanes beyond the market-town bustle but still close enough for a practical stop.

The pub dining room seats the whole group together, dogs and all and the menu runs Monday to Saturday from late morning into the evening, with Sunday service from noon. It's the kind of venue that works for lunch, dinner or an afternoon pint with the dog curled under the table.

The Crown is part of a wider hotel and pub operation, so indoor access is straightforward and well-behaved dogs welcome insidelic areas. There's enough going on to make it a destination rather than just a quick pit-stop and the setting gives you a proper taste of village-pub hospitality without the tourist swarm.
