The Sawley Arms

The Sawley Arms is a welcoming village gastropub a few miles from Ripon, serving breakfast through to evening meals with dogs welcome inside the bar and other non-carpeted areas. There's free on-site parking, making it a handy stop for walkers heading to or from Fountains Abbey and an easy all-weather option when plans need food, warmth and somewhere the whole group can settle in together.

Food is served daily, with last orders at 8pm Monday to Thursday and Sunday and 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The dog-friendly space runs alongside the dining area, so your table supervisor can stay firmly on duty without missing a moment of the action.

Carpeted areas are reserved for assistance dogs only, but the uncarpeted indoor space gives a straightforward indoor welcome for leads, muddy paws and the usual mealtime logistics. Open from 7.30am to 11pm every day, it's a reliable choice whether you're planning a leisurely lunch or an early breakfast before a day out.
