The Spaniards Inn
$$ · Moderate·Leashed only
A Grade II listed pub dating to 1585 on the edge of Hampstead Heath, known for its garden, real ales and Sunday roasts. Dogs are welcome inside and out; the garden has a dog wash and the pub keeps treats behind the bar. A classic post-walk stop.
Why it made the list
Purpose-built for dog walkers: a dog wash, somewhere to tether the dog and treats, with direct access onto Hampstead Heath.
Good to know before you go
Dogs are welcome both indoors and in the beer garden, with water bowls and treats, and a dog wash in the garden means a muddy dog can be cleaned before going inside. No size limit is published and dogs normally stay on a lead. The pub's own site blocks automated reading, so its dog policy is confirmed here through venue listings and press coverage; the hours are from a public listing.
Practical notes
- Go at weekday lunchtime to avoid the crowded weekend garden.
- Bring a towel — the garden dog wash is useful after a wet walk.

House rules and verification
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
