Days Out Are For Dogs Too

The Fountain Inn is a busy community pub on the eastern edge of Ely in Soham, where dogs are welcome inside the bar alongside the regulars, live sport and a friendly pint-and-paws atmosphere. It's part of the Craft Union family, with a solid drinks list and a warm stopover feel for those heading east from the city or breaking up a longer drive.
Food is served throughout the day in the dog-friendly pub and there's a car park on site for stress-free arrivals with the lead, bags and any optimistic passengers hoping for crisps. Open daily from noon to 11pm, with late hours on Friday and Saturday to 2am.
Soham sits just over five miles from Ely proper, making the Fountain a genuinely useful local for visitors staying nearby or exploring the Fens with the dog. It's relaxed, unpretentious and geared for everyday visits rather than destination dining—settle in with your pint, let the dog supervise proceedings from under the table and enjoy a proper pub break.

Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside the pub. Food is served in the dog-friendly bar area, so the whole group can settle in for a relaxed pint and a bite with the lead under the table.
