The Scruffy Dog is an independent, award-winning freehouse pub brewing its own real ales and lagers on site and serving freshly made pizza in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
Dog-friendly, community-focused, and proudly independent – it’s a place to unwind, meet friends, and enjoy properly made beer and food.

INDEPENDENT BY CHOICE, LOCAL BY NATURE.

Welcome to The Scruffy Dog, an award-winning freehouse pub built on independence, quality, and community.

As a freehouse, we’re not tied to any brewery or brand. That freedom allows us to brew the beers we believe in and serve them exactly as they should be. Our on-site brewery produces a range of real ales and lagers, all made here with care, consistency, and a genuine passion for brewing. Our approach has been recognised with CAMRA awards, something we’re extremely proud of.

Food is treated with the same attention. We serve freshly made pizzas, prepared on site using quality ingredients and cooked to order – simple, honest food designed to be enjoyed alongside a great pint.

The Scruffy Dog is proudly dog-friendly, welcoming both locals and four-legged visitors. With a beer garden for relaxed outdoor drinking and a clean, comfortable interior featuring tasteful décor and gentle background music, it’s a space designed to help you slow down and feel at home.

More than just a pub, The Scruffy Dog is part of the local community – a place where neighbours meet, friends gather, and visitors are welcomed like regulars. Whether you’re joining us for award-winning beer, a freshly made pizza, or simply a quiet moment to unwind, you’ll always find a warm welcome at The Scruffy Dog.
