The FitzWalter Arms, Goodnestone
If you’re a dog sitter in Kent looking for a spot of lunch and a pint then why not head to The Fitzwalter Arms. A cosy and welcoming place to enjoy a proper pint and good, honest food, it’s also a great base for exploring nearby Canterbury! ‘The Fitz’ sits in Goodnestone Park estate, once frequently visited by Jane Austen - and it remains a blissfully traditional pub today, full of character with its open log fires, wooden floors, exposed brick walls and hops lining the beams in true Kentish style. Even friends of the four-legged variety can come along. Nobody should have to miss out on a trip to The Fitz!
The Spotted Dog, Penshurst
Located only a 5 minute drive from the pretty village of Penshurst. Dogs are welcome within the bar area and water bowls will be provided, as well as ear ruffles and belly rubs. Over 500 years old, the building has a white-washed timbered exterior with cosy interiors featuring wonky wooden beams and an open fire. What better way to enjoy a homemade Sunday lunch than in an old pub with your dog at your feet?
The Kentish Rifleman
The low, oak beamed ceilings and open fireplaces set the scene for a cosy visit during the winter months. Food is homemade, freshly prepared on the premises with produce from local butchers and suppliers. Whether visiting for a drink in the Rifle Bar, or to dine in the restaurant their friendly staff look forward to welcoming both two legged and four legged friends. At the end of a tranquil walk in the countryside, the Kentish Rifleman is frequently the finishing line for families, friends and dogs making it a pawsome place to visit if you’re borrowing a dog in Kent.
The Dog at Wingham
As you may have guessed from the name, dogs are very welcome here. They also host the local Dog Walking Club once a month which is pretty wagtastic. This is a lovely place to stop for a bite to eat with your furry friend where they will be treated to ear ruffles and fresh water while you tuck into a nice lunch.
