The Stowe Sports Bar & Restaurant

The Stowe Sports Bar & Restaurant is a sports bar and grill at Penstowe Manor in Kilkhampton, a useful nearby stop east of Bude town centre. Dogs are welcome inside and food is served throughout the bar and dining area, so the whole group can settle in for a proper pint, a meal and whatever's on the big screen.

The venue attracts visitors heading along the coast and those staying on the park and it doubles as a motorhome aire with pitches available for stopovers. Opening hours are Sunday 12:00–19:00, Monday–Friday 16:00–23:00 and Saturday 16:00–23:00, giving you a decent window for lunch or evening food with dogs in tow.

Well-behaved dogs are always welcome and the sports-bar atmosphere suits teams that don't fuss about a bit of noise or passing footfall. It's the kind of stop that solves the what-do-we-do-now question when you need food, sport and a dog-friendly table all in one place.
