VIP Doggy Pub launched in Devon

Delicious Dog 'Beer' on tap!

The All-Inclusive Pooch Pass

Dog lovers, this one’s for you.

The Old Exeter Inn is proud to be home to the world’s first Doggy Pub. Free-flowing ‘Dog Beer’ straight from the barrel. Doggy Ice Cream. Treats on the house. Your four-legged friend is not just welcome here – they’re celebrated.

We know how difficult it can be to find places that truly welcome your best friend. Even in country pubs. We think it’s time that changed.

“A lot of people are living alone these days and their animals are their close family. The small community or country pub should try and be helpful.”David Hattersley

David remembers driving for three days through Spain in the heat of summer with his cat, Witherington. The hotels along the way were wonderfully accommodating – litter trays, good food, real care. It meant a lot. That kind of attention to detail builds loyalty.

“It’s the small things that count. But always do them well if you’re going to do them.”

We hope our little Pooch Pass will encourage well-behaved dog owners to try us out here on Dartmoor. And perhaps other pubs might follow?

THE VIP POOCH PASS

You can’t be in one of the most beautiful counties of England without your best mate, can you? Our VIP (Very Important Pooch) All-Inclusive Pass is absolutely free – and we hope your bestie approves.

What’s Included

Free access to the Doggy Pub with unlimited ‘Dog Beer’ straight from the barrel. Free Doggy Ice Cream. Free treats from the Kilner Jar at the Human Bar. A photo of your visit taken by our staff. And a personalised Official VIP Pooch Certificate to document the occasion.

Membership Rules

Doggies are welcome in the Bar, Snug and Garden – on a lead and well behaved, please. Water bowls are provided inside and outside. Do call ahead and book a table if you’d like to be indoors. Our phone number is 01364 652013.

Ralph (our VIP member) and Andrew (slave to Ralph) are very happy with the new scheme.
