The Open Ditch

The Open Ditch is a freehouse country pub in Sinton Green, around five miles northwest of Worcester, where dogs are welcome inside the bar and dining areas — no pavement waiting required.

Food is served Monday to Saturday from noon until 8pm, with Sunday roasts and cold rolls available from noon until 4pm. The pub opens daily from noon and has a relaxed village-pub atmosphere well suited to walkers and anyone planning a rural dog day out near Worcester.

A gravel car park sits alongside the pub, and the rural setting makes it a natural stop when combining a countryside walk with a proper sit-down meal — dog settled beside you, food on the table.
