The Mole Inn

The Mole Inn in Oxford is a pub with the shape of a place made for longer, more intentional stops. Dogs are welcome inside, so countryside lunches and post-walk pints can include everyone. Its site points to food and drink, events, weddings and even a market, which gives it a broader destination feel than a standard pub.

For dog owners exploring beyond Oxford's centre, it suits the kind of outing where the venue is part of the plan, not just an afterthought. It has that more complete, settle-in-for-a-while mood that works very well at the end of a walk, with dogs welcome inside on leads.

The Mole Inn offers the kind of dog-friendly pub stop where you can linger over food and drink without anyone waiting on the pavement. It's a useful option when you want a proper meal and a relaxed atmosphere, with your dog settled beside the table.
