At The Sneyd Arms in Keele, we’re proud to be a dog-friendly pub — because we know that a day out just isn’t complete without your four-legged best friend. Whether you’re stopping by after a long countryside walk or just popping in for a pint with your pup by your side, we welcome wagging tails as much as smiling faces.
But what makes a great dog-friendly pub — and why do dogs belong in pubs in the first place? Here’s why we believe pubs like ours are the perfect place for pups and people.

🐶 1. Dogs Bring the Pub to Life
There’s something about the gentle clink of glasses, the low hum of conversation — and the occasional tail thumping under a table — that gives a pub its charm. Dogs help make a pub feel like a true community space, bringing warmth, friendliness, and the occasional snore during Sunday lunch.
🥾 2. Great Pubs Make Great Pit Stops for Walks
Keele is blessed with beautiful walks — from woodland trails to open green spaces. After a long ramble, both you and your pup deserve a break. At The Sneyd Arms, we’ll sort you out with a refreshing pint and a hearty meal, while your dog can enjoy a drink of water (and a few ear scratches too).
🦴 3. We’ve Got the Essentials Covered
At our pub, your dog will always get:
✅ A clean bowl of fresh water
✅ A welcoming spot by the fire or in our beer garden
✅ A few tasty dog treats behind the bar
✅ Our Dog Menu courtesy Sir Woofchesters
✅ Lots of love from the staff and regulars
We just ask that dogs are well-behaved and kept on a lead indoors — it helps keep things friendly and fun for everyone.
🪑 4. We’re Perfect for People Who Love Dogs (Even If You Don’t Have One!)
You don’t have to be a dog owner to enjoy a dog-friendly pub. There’s something relaxing and homely about being in a space where pups are welcome — it creates a more laid-back, community vibe that everyone can enjoy.
📸 5. Share Your Pooch with Us!
We love seeing your furry friends enjoying themselves at The Sneyd Arms. Tag us in your pup pics on Instagram or Facebook using #PintsAndPawsKeele — we might just feature your dog on our page!
