That’s our way of flagging the places that go further — beyond “dogs allowed”, with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs inside.

The George & Heart House feels like one of Margate’s more characterful all-rounders, combining a cosy pub, restaurant, private garden and boutique rooms inside a beautifully restored Grade II listed former coaching inn. The overall mood is warm, stylish and full of personality, but still rooted in proper pub comfort rather than hotel stiffness.
What really sets it apart, though, is the attitude towards dogs. The team here are genuinely obsessed — not just tolerant, but properly delighted to have them in — which shifts the whole feel of the place. It’s the difference between “dogs allowed” and “dogs very much part of the experience,” and you feel it as soon as you walk in.
A very good choice when you want somewhere that feels a bit special without losing that easy, relaxed sense that everyone (including the dog) is completely welcome.

Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside at The George & Heart House, where a relaxed dog can happily join you for food or drinks. Keep them on a lead, close to the table and away from busy indoor dining areas.
