Wetherspoons is a dog-free pub

That’s fine, if Wetherspoons can afford to turn away half the families in Uk, which is how many have dogs.

36% actually (Sources: UK Pet Food (March 2024), iPET Network (Nov 2024), The Good Kennel Guide (Sept 2025), and Dogs Trust (2024 report). ) They just THINK they are the majority and that we should all bow down to the hound.

Just like a wow, you try this wetherspoons-menu.uk/

Bit out of date that menu website. Wetherspoons stopped doing steaks and grills around 9 months ago.

Dogs have been elevated to the status of humans. Some are dressed and some have pushchairs !! And they are everywhere

They do not belong in eating places or shops in my opinion
However clean and well behaved They only have to do a quick shake and hair can go anywhere People feed them off the plates and put a bit of tea in the saucer for them, OK no one on here does that !! but some do I ve sat next to a table doing that

When I had dogs I would never dream of taking them to shops/ cafes/ places of interest They got a good walk morning and evening and went out and about with me when I was doing outdoor stuff otherwise they stayed at home and the garden

Tiley to talk about children as brats is nasty I presume you have no grandchildren

I don’t go in Wetherspoons regularly but I admired the buildings and the prices. I think Tim Martin although not someone I particularly like has done a blooming fantastic job with his chain of over 700 venues …That’s some amount

Well said. This dog thing is getting out of hand.

We have always had dogs until the past few years and never went into a pub or restaurant that accepted dogs, though would occasionally sit in a pub garden, because the dog really doesn’t want to be tied to the table leg of an unfamiliar place and sit panting in what could be an over warm and noisy place. Have seen dogs showing signs of distress in these circumstances.
They are not dog friendly at all, or they would offer dogs a big field to run about in and other dogs bottoms to sniff.
If owners want a meal or drink out leave your pooch happily at home in familiar surroundings for an hour or so.

If any one want to avoid England's football matches this coming week(w/c Sunday 6 October 2024)
England games are kicking off at 19:45pm on Thursday night

and next Sunday afternoon on 13 October at 17:00pm

Weatherspoons will have a special offer on food and drink on Thursday 12 September with a 7.5 per cent discount on all food and drinks.

The English nation will grind to a halt on Wednesday
evening the 10th July at 8pm due to the England senior football team being in the semi-finals of the Euros.

I think Weatherspoons will be very busy on Wednesday just in case you were looking for a quiet drink on the night.

just a reminder wall to wall football on Friday afternoon 5th July from 4pm till at least ten past ten,
if the games goes to extra time and penalty's it could go beyond the ten past ten hour

England senior team will be in action this coming Saturday 6th July, kicking off at 5pm on BBC1 if any one wants to avoid the football.

Just a reminder that the England football team will be in action on Thursday 20 June kicking off at 5pm,just in case any wants to avoid the football.

I've been in more restaurants and pubs with badly behaved brats than dogs.

It’s all very well saying “My dog sits quietly and doesn’t bother anyone”. The problem is that if you allow dogs into eating places you will inevitably get the idiot owners who allow their dogs to roam about, bark, sit at the table or (worse) lick the plates.

Just a note of caution that England senior football team are in action on Friday night 7th June 2024 against Iceland
Its a friendly and kicks off at 19:45pm coverage starts at 19:00pm and FREE TO AIR on Channel 4.

Just in case any one wants to visit Weatherspoons before kick off time.

I actively prefer pubs that allow dogs, and can honestly say I’ve never found them to be bothersome.

If any one is interested our Royal Mail service new special stamps are featuring ten of our favourite dogs.

No football if that’s the case suits me too.

I wasn’t a fan after a visit years ago, and was a bit sniffy about them, but latterly was introduced by a friend to our local weatherspoons and was pleasantly surprised.
Tea and toast with jam or marmalade (and the bread was nice). About £1.20. . Top ups on drinks are free. Cooked food is basic, but ok ; we had a cooked breakfast for £4.
Many of their buildings are interesting, sometimes rather grand, old features are retained . No dogs rule suits me.

Having had dogs for years and years who have all lived in the house, can honestly say we have never got any illness from them. But dogs have picked up tummy upsets from people dropping food on the floor which our poor unsuspecting pooch has eaten.

No place where food is served should ever allow dogs, or any other animal for that matter, to cross over it's threshold, it is totally unhygienic, and some people are allergic to them.

@Yongy I grant that some people are allergic to dogs if in close contact but there is actually no evidence for the first of your statements at all.
Dogs, provided they remain on the floor, do not bring any more pathogens into a restaurant than humans.
Most pubs which allow dogs allocate half the space as dog-friendly so the allergic can avoid them.

My local is a Weatherspoons. Grade 2 listed, extremely popular. Many pubs around here would be grateful for half the revenue this pub turns over.

@petra that is a gorgeous Spoons! Can you share the location?
