The Nag's Head

The Nag's Head in St Leonards (part of Hastings) is a classic, cosy pub with a friendly feel and dogs welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle. It's good for a pint and a proper sit-down after a walk, though it can get busy and snug in peak hours, so it suits dogs who can settle.

Your dog will immediately locate the warmest draft-free patch of floor like it's a life skill, while you enjoy the characterful atmosphere, guest cask ales and a well-earned drink. There's also a festoon-lit heated terrace for outdoor drinking when the weather plays along.

A solid wet-weather stop where paws and people can relax together, keeping everyone warm and nobody stuck outside hoping the rain eases.
