The Old George Inn

The Old George Inn is a classic village pub a short drive from Cirencester, where dogs are welcome inside the main bar alongside diners and drinkers. It's the kind of place where nobody has to volunteer for pavement duty while the rest of the group orders lunch.

Food is served Wednesday to Sunday, with lunch from midday and dinner most evenings, so you can time your visit around a proper meal rather than just a quick pint. The menu runs to traditional pub plates and your dog can settle under the table while you eat.

There's a car park on site, which takes the stress out of arrival when you're juggling leads and bags. Open every day from noon, with closing times between 10pm and 11pm depending on the night, it's a reliable stop for walkers, locals and anyone passing through South Cerney with a dog in tow.
