Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

4 Aug 2026

The George & Dragon Inn is a traditional village pub in Melmerby, just north of Ripon, where dogs are welcome inside alongside you. It's the sort of warm, unfussy stop that works whether you're wrapping up a village walk or breaking a longer journey with the whole pack.

Settle in with a pint and a plate while your dog supervises proceedings from under the table. The pub serves food and drink throughout the week and reviews mention dog treats making an appearance – always a good sign that four-legged guests are genuinely part of the welcome.

Open from late afternoon on weekdays and from lunchtime at weekends, the George & Dragon keeps late hours on Fridays and Saturdays, useful if you're travelling through or fancy a proper evening out without leaving anyone at home. Free off-street parking is noted by visitors.

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome inside. Settle in with food and a drink while your dog relaxes under the table – treats have been mentioned in reviews.
