The Dove

The Dove is a classic alehouse in Bury St Edmunds, just outside the town centre but still easy to reach when you're touring with your dog. Dogs are welcome inside, with both the main bar and parlour open to four-legged visitors settling in for a relaxed pint stop.

Food is served in the dog-friendly areas, so you can eat without splitting the group or leaving anyone stranded in the car. The pub has a proper alehouse feel with a loyal following and strong pub character, making it a calm, settled choice for dog owners after somewhere genuinely welcoming.

Opening hours are Monday to Friday 5pm–11pm, Saturday 12pm–3pm and 6pm–11pm and Sunday 12pm–3pm and 6pm–10.30pm. There's a small car park to the rear.
