The Dripping Spring Pub

The Dripping Spring Pub in Hastings is a friendly local with a solid reputation and a dog-welcoming attitude, so nobody needs to do the pavement shuffle while someone else grabs a pint. Dogs are welcome inside, which makes it a practical choice for a relaxed drink, a meal, or the classic pub corner where your dog can nap while you pretend you're just popping in for one.

The pub serves food and drink in an easygoing atmosphere, and it's the kind of place where muddy paws after a coastal walk won't raise eyebrows. There's a beer garden for sunny days, and the pub hosts live music events. Mention your dog when booking if you want the easiest seating.

It's a useful wet-weather stop or a straightforward end to a dog-friendly day out in Hastings, with everyone welcome inside and no need to split up the group.
