Porters Freehouse

Porters Freehouse is a proper town-centre pub on Castle Street in the heart of Cirencester, serving food, pouring real ale and welcoming dogs inside. Dogs are welcome inside throughout the pub, so you can settle in with your four-footer tucked under a table while you work through the menu and a pint.

Food is served daily with lunch and evening sessions Monday to Friday, all-day service on Saturday and roast-friendly Sunday hours. The interior is classic freehouse territory: cosy bar atmosphere, games and the kind of lived-in feel that makes a wet-paws pit-stop genuinely relaxing.

You're in the core visitor area of Cirencester here, so Porters makes a reliable lunch or evening stop when you've been trailing the dog round the town centre and need somewhere warm to regroup. Open late most nights, with weekend hours running past midnight.
