Finding a dog-friendly place to eat and drink can sometimes be a challenge, so we have built this section from my own research with the dog in tow. This includes Gloucestershire restaurants, pubs, cafes and other eateries.
Some establishments allow canine guests inside others just in outdoor areas and finally some embrace the concept and have treats and water bowls for dogs.

Stables Cafe Saul Junction
For a flat canal walk with pooch in tow, Saul Junction and the surrounding canals are great. The added advantage is the Stables Cafe that has seating outside and serves great food. They are popular with dog-walkers and the area is pretty special.
The Old Fleece
Located near to Woodchester, The Old Fleece is a nice place to go out for an evening meal. The Old Fleece is a 250-year-old former coaching inn and looks rather impressive and historical. The fleece is perfect for outdoor eating on their terrace or more formal sit down meal inside the nicely decorated bar or dining area.
The Old Fleece serves food daily until 10 pm, they are even pet-friendly so you can bring Fido along. Their menu is pretty special and includes delights such as garlic & rosemary pork chop, Sunday roasts, burgers, vegetarian katsu curry and more.
Places To Stay
There are many pet-friendly options for accommodation in Gloucestershire from hotels to campsites. One of my favourites for a dog walking holiday is Greenacres campsite.
