The Boatman

The Boatman is a riverside pub in Windsor where dogs are welcome inside the bar area, so you can keep the whole crew together while you settle in by the Thames. The restaurant and conservatory are dog-free, but the bar gives you a proper indoor spot with your dog whatever the weather.

Food is served Monday to Saturday noon to 10pm and Sunday noon to 8pm, with opening hours running 11am to 11pm most days and until 10pm on Sunday. It's a handy stop if you're exploring Windsor on foot, whether you've walked from the castle or come in via the station.

The location works well for visitors who want a riverside breather without splitting up the group. Dogs get a warm welcome in the bar and you get a proper pub that knows how to make dog owners feel at home.
