The Grasshopper

The Grasshopper is a dog-friendly pub and restaurant in Parkstone, Poole, where dogs are welcome inside throughout the comfortable dining areas. Open daily from 10am, it serves food until 8.30pm on weekdays and later at weekends, making it a handy stop for breakfast, lunch or an early evening meal with your four-paws. On-site parking takes the fuss out of arrival.

Dogs can settle in beside the table while you eat and there's a fireplace where they can curl up when the weather turns. The kitchen serves a full menu in the dog-friendly areas, so everyone stays together—no need to choose between your dinner and your dog's company.

The Grasshopper sits on Bournemouth Road in Parkstone, a useful pitstop if you're heading to or from the coast. It's the sort of spot where tangled leads and wet paws are part of the furniture and your table supervisor can stay firmly on duty throughout.
