The Richmond

The Richmond is a Joseph Holt pub on the main route into Southport, serving food and drinks in a dog-friendly bar area. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle in for breakfast, lunch or dinner without leaving anyone in the car.

The bar serves food throughout the day, starting with breakfast from 9am and running through to 9pm, so there's plenty of scope for a bacon roll with the morning walk or a proper meal after a seafront wander. There's a large car park on site, which takes the guesswork out of arrival, and a beer garden for when the weather behaves.

Your dog's welcome in the bar area where food is served, so they can stretch out under the table while you eat. No water bowls or treats are confirmed, but the indoor access, all-day food service and on-site parking make it a solid pit stop when you need one.
