The Minster Tavern

Minster Tavern is a central Ely pub where dogs are welcome inside while you eat and drink, making it an easy stop between cathedral visits or market browsing. Part of the Pubsmiths family, it serves food and drinks in a relaxed setting that keeps the whole group together—dog included.

The kitchen runs daily, with hot food available until 9pm most evenings and 8pm on Sundays. The pub opens from 10am at weekends, so there's no need to walk the town on an empty stomach or leave your dog tied outside while you refuel.

Settled right in Ely's heart, it's the sort of pub where you can claim a table, order lunch and let your dog supervise proceedings from under your chair. Straightforward, central and properly dog-friendly. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.
