That’s our way of flagging the places that go further — beyond “dogs allowed”, with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs inside.

Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

8 Aug 2026

A traditional pub right by Botanic Gardens, The Bold Arms brings together historic-pub character, family-friendly ease and classic pub food in one very usable package. Dogs are welcome inside, which makes it an easy post-walk stop after the gardens or a Churchtown wander.

Being so close to the gardens makes it especially handy as a post-walk or post-village-wander stop, and the menu leans into dependable favourites rather than trying to be too clever for its own good. It sounds like the sort of place that works for lunch, Sunday roasts, catch-ups and a pint after some Churchtown wandering.

Warm, familiar and exactly the kind of pub that earns repeat visits by being useful as much as flashy, with dogs settling in like the village has always known them.

Good to know:

Water bowls available

Free treats available

Doggy menu available

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome inside, so this is an easy post-walk pub stop after Botanic Gardens or a Churchtown wander. Expect classic pub comfort and a dog settling in like the village has always known them.
