Cambridge and Peterborough both have plenty of pubs with a dog-friendly reputation, but Figo and I wanted a specific address and a stated policy, not just a general vibe. Here’s what checked out.
Pubs
Fort St George, Cambridge
Near Midsummer Common, Cambridge (Visit Cambridge’s own guide), dogs are allowed in the pub itself and the beer garden, but not the restaurant area. We couldn’t pin down the exact street number from this source, so check the postcode on the day or via Google Maps before you set off.
Ramblewood Inn, Orton Longueville
At The Village, Orton Longueville, Peterborough, PE2 7DN (Google Maps, CAMRA listing), CAMRA’s own pub database lists this village inn as dog friendly among its facilities. We’d still ring ahead if you’re planning to eat, since the pub’s own description doesn’t go into detail on its dog policy.
What we couldn’t confirm
We looked for a café in Cambridgeshire with its own clearly stated dog policy and a confirmed address, and came up short — Stir café in Chesterton and Café Foy on Quayside both get mentioned as dog-friendly, but we couldn’t trace either back to a full address and a policy stated by the business itself. If you know a genuine one, let us know and we’ll add it.
If you’re planning a pub visit with your dog, a lead that won’t tangle round table legs makes the whole thing easier — have a look at the leads and harnesses at Calmshops.
