The Ypres Castle Inn is a historic pub in central Rye, tucked into the Gun Garden area and open Thursday to Sunday. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle by the fire with a pint while your dog takes up station at your feet. Food is served throughout, meaning the whole group can stay put for the duration.
The pub has a strong beer-led profile and a cosy interior that suits a proper stop rather than a quick dash-through. It's handy for visitors exploring Rye's cobbled streets and the central location makes it an easy refuelling spot when you and the dog have had enough of the hills.
Opening hours are Thursday to Saturday 12 pm to 10 pm and Sunday 12 pm to 8 pm. Closed Monday to Wednesday, so plan accordingly if you're visiting mid-week.
