The Brown Jug

The Brown Jug in Cheltenham is the kind of place where the dog settles in and you know straight away… this is a proper local. Doors open, pints pouring, and that steady buzz of a pub that’s built around its community.

Set on Bath Road in Leckhampton, this dog-friendly pub in Cheltenham leans into everything you want from a traditional spot. Expect classic pub food made with locally sourced ingredients, with menus that shift through the seasons and Sunday roasts that bring people back week after week.
