In recent years, UK pubs have seen a delicious shift—from pork scratchings for humans to gourmet treats for their four-legged companions. Pup pub menus are popping up everywhere, featuring items like “dog beer,” meat bites, and even Sunday roasts for dogs. But are they just a novelty? Or a growing part of modern pub culture?
At Chef Woof, we believe it’s more than a trend. It’s the future of dog-friendly hospitality.
🍗 Dogs Deserve More Than a Bowl of Water
In many dog-friendly pubs, the standard offering is still just a water bowl and maybe a dry biscuit. But savvy landlords are starting to realise that dogs are more than companions—they’re customers too. And with that comes demand for better-quality food.
This is where Chef Woof’s curated pub menu steps in. From our gourmet PAWHAWK STEAK to our WOOFNUTS . Our products are High-quality & natural.

🏆 Pubs Doing It Right (And Why It Works)
The Brandling Villa in Newcastle, for example, made headlines with their full Sunday roast for dogs—cementing their place as the top dog-friendly pub in the UK (source). And The Sheep Heid Inn in Edinburgh, Scotland’s oldest pub, now caters to canine guests with special seating, water stations, and ample garden space (source).
Pubs like these see measurable benefits:
-
Longer stays (owners relax when dogs are content)
-
Higher spend per table (orders for dogs add up)
-
Increased loyalty and repeat visits
