Dog Friendly Places

Places in and around Ulverston that welcome pet dogs indoors at the food serving area, and drive through eating places where you can order and collect without leaving your dog alone in the car. We’ve included a few exceptionally dog friendly establishments from slightly further afield. It is generally expected that dogs will be well behaved and under control.

The information on this website is provided for guidance only, and arrangements may change without notice. Check with staff at each venue if you are in any doubt about what facilities are available. If booking a visit or a meal in advance, let the staff know when you make the reservation that you plan to bring a dog.

Pet dogs may be limited to certain indoor areas, such as a public bar in a hotel but not in a formal restaurant. In all cases, it should be possible for you to choose and eat your food and to go to the toilet whilst looking after a dog!

Pet dogs are not permitted in Ulverston pharmacies (Boots and Cohens). There are a few cafes that don’t allow pets, including Poppies Cafe in Union Street Ulverston.

At The Orangery at St Mary’s Hospice, dogs are welcome on the outdoor terrace, which has some covered areas. The Chill & Grill on the Coast Road (near Bardsea) is well positioned for beach walks, and dogs are welcome outdoors.

Eating places that provide additional facilities for dogs, such as rugs, or sell products specially for dogs, such as homemade dog biscuits or dog ice cream, are eligible for our coveted “Dog’s Dinner” award. Award winners are indicated by a bone against the listing.
