Lincolnshire Poacher

The Lincolnshire Poacher is a Castle Rock alehouse in Nottingham where dogs are welcome inside the bar and snug. You can settle in together while food is served, making it a practical stop for visitors heading into or out of the city centre.

The pub opens from lunchtime Thursday to Sunday and from early afternoon Monday to Wednesday, with hot food available most evenings and weekend lunchtimes. The atmosphere is classic alehouse – straightforward, visitor-friendly and built around good beer and honest plates.

Mansfield Road puts you close enough to the centre to be useful without the tightest parking hassles. Dogs can join you at the table, so there's no splitting up while you eat or leaving anyone outside in sudden rain. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.
