Days Out Are For Dogs Too

The Fighting Cocks is a central Durham pub just off North Road, where dogs are welcome inside both the bar and the restaurant. That means the whole group can settle in together, whether you're stopping for a pint or a proper meal.
Food is served Monday to Friday until 6pm and Saturdays until 4pm, so there's plenty of scope for a midday refuel with your dog supervising proceedings from under the table. The pub also shows sport and stays open late most nights, making it a handy option for city visitors who want to keep their dog with them rather than juggling pavement duty.
The pub opens at 11am Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays. It sits very close to the heart of Durham, so it's an easy stop if you're exploring the city with your dog and need a warm seat and something to eat.
Good to know:
Water bowls available
Free treats available
Doggy menu available
Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside the pub, including both the bar and the restaurant, so nobody has to volunteer for pavement duty.
