Tom & Beki welcome you to the Drover's Rest, an award-winning, family-run country inn in the quaint village of Monkhill, a mere 5 miles outside of Carlisle; along the Hadrian's Wall Route.

Visiting with your dog - Due to our pub rabbit, Neill, who lives upstairs, we don't have our own pub dog yet! So we, and the whole Drovers team, love meeting your four-legged friends and we'll make sure they're very welcome in the pub!

​Dogs are welcome in the Bar area and the Beer Garden. There's water bowls provided in both areas, along with Poop Bags for outside which we'd appreciate you using.

​We have a few requests for your Canine companions when they're here so that everyone enjoys their time at the Drovers.
- We ask that dogs are kept on a short lead at all times to avoid any accidents, both inside and in the beer garden,
- We ask that dogs are kept off the furniture unless there's a blanket down first. (Ask a member of staff for one or grab one from the blanket box). If your dog is wet, damp or muddy please ask for a towel and keep them on the floor at all times.
- Please keep paws and snouts off the table tops and the bar front.

You are more than welcome to have your dog sit with you during your evening. All you need to do is let us know when you book that you'd like them to sit with you and we can arrange a table in the bar. Please let us know as soon as possible prior to arrival, so we can make the necessary arrangements. We'd hate for them to have to stay in the car if we don't have a suitable table.

FURBALL FRIDAYS

We love any excuse to meet new and regular furry friends, and so we created Furball Friday to do just that! Each Friday from 5pm is our celebration of all things canine!

We welcome all doggies and have extra treats such as Puppaccinos and Doggy Beer and exclusive merch available, including Bandannas, Doggy Merit Badges! Pop in with your pup and enjoy a pint or two together! We even have our very own Doggy Menu serving every Furball Friday!
