The Homestead

The Homestead in Bracebridge Heath, just south of Lincoln, is a Grade II listed pub where dogs are welcome in selected areas inside. It's an easy choice for food, drinks or a proper sit-down after a walk, with dogs able to stay close in the dog-friendly spaces while everyone settles in.

Four-legged visitors have their own water station and complimentary treats, with the option for their humans to make a donation to Macmillan through the dog-treat QR code. Doggy ice cream is also available for £2.25 when an ordinary pub visit calls for pudding. The pub serves breakfast from 9am at weekends, with food available until 9pm daily.

Regular visitors and particularly photogenic guests may even have their picture taken for The Homestead's doggy wall. It's a lovely celebration of the dogs who come through the doors — although presumably every dog believes they are cute enough to make the cut.
