Rose Tree Inn

The Rose Tree Inn is a friendly village pub just south of Durham, serving food all day in a dog-friendly bar where your four-legged supervisor can settle in beside you. Dogs are welcome inside, so there's no need to leave anyone tied up outside while you eat.

The bar is open Monday to Saturday from 11:30am until 9pm and Sunday from 11:30am to 6pm, with food served throughout. It's a handy pause after a riverside wander or a stop-off for Shincliffe and south-side visitors crossing into the city. That simple inclusion is especially useful when the weather turns or the day needs a proper sit-down pause.

Expect a warm welcome and a proper pub atmosphere where dogs and their people can relax together. No fuss, just a good local with tables, food and a tail-friendly attitude. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.
