The Dog Inn in South Gloucestershire

Clean onsuite room in a pleasant country pub, perfect as a waypoint on the Cotswold Way about 30km outside of Bath. Menu is extensive, and the piub was not very full even on a Saturday night. Food and service was OK but nothing special.

Very disappointed the place is extremely run down including the toilets. The floor is disgusting, the carpet is threadbare which you stick to as you walk. Booked for 2.30 pm only to be told no roasts until 3pm. Served wine spritzer in a pint glass. Food okay although cauliflower cheese very tough. Would not recommend needs a very deep clean.

Staff were friendly enough. Good however was definitely not worth the money. 3 Sunday roasts, everything overcooked except for the peas & carrots which was the best thing on the plate! The cauliflower cheese however was raw, you could get a knife or a fork into it!

Came here with my family for lunch walked past the kitchen there was stuff on the floor looked liked a teenage chef the food was horrible we all had a roast the meat was chewy and undercooked, i could barely cut the potatoes in half.red cabbage was really watery and the gravy was watery to. The bathrooms were tiny and disgusting the toilet roll was on top of the wall,it was cold and creepy. there is a doorbell right next to our table from the kitchen. the carpets and tables were ridiculously sticky i struggled picking up the menu because it was too sticky . i would not recommend this pub to anyone they need to sort this pub out ASAP.

Stayed while walking the Cotswold Way. Sunday night stay. Room was large and spacious, clean, though did smell a little of damp. We ate in the bar, and food was served quickly and to a pleasant pub-food standard. Would be happy to stay here again if in the area.

Had a Sunday lunch the beef was inedible and so tough I could not cut it. The rest of the vegetables were fine. Toilets were dirty and the place looked like it needed a deep clean .i would not recommend it.

Run down pub that shows its age in not a good way. The place needs a good spring clean and re-decorating. That said, our meal was good and we were served well by a young waiter. Would I return? No thanks

Can't fault the staff, they were lovely, friendly and professional. Food however was disappointing. We all had roasts. Food arrived on cold plates, only thing hot was the roast potatoes. The meat was overdone and the veg was undercooked. We've eaten at The Dog many times and the food has always been great, but today was very disappointing.

Came up on the recommendation of friends who had had the lamb shank. My wife had the lasagne which was home made and superb came with lovely garlic bread and fresh salad My Mother in law had the lamb shank which came in a lovely red wine gravy with seasonal veg, usually comes with mash as well but she asked for chips instead which was no problem for the staff I had the mixed grill which at £18.95 was superb. Steak, gammon with fried egg, lamb chop and a sausage with peas and chips It was absolutely superb, my one bit of advice , put the price up to £22.50 and add mushrooms, grilled tomato and a slice of black pud and you have perfection on a plate Lovely meal and we will be returning soon

Awful Food! 2 meals Ribeye Steak - The Steak was cooked ok but tasteless, presumably not seasoned I have never had a more tasteless steak. The Chips and Mushroom were ok but the peas only just about made "luke warm" couldn't eat them. - The...

Arrived to empty pub with no atmosphere. Ordered food which was roast dinner. This came out in 20 minutes and at first glance looked ok, however looks can be deceiving. The meat was of very poor quality and extremely tough, the veg was a mix...

The food was delicious and the £8.50 lunch menu options are a bargain. Lovely open fire, family friendly.

We. artived without a booking (four adults and a toddler) and were warmly received. The food was of good quality and of generous proportions. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and the log burning fire just added to the overall “warmth” - thoroughly recommended

I stayed here one night while working nearby. The building was very old and full of character. The staff were very friendly and the bar had a good selection. The room was behind the hotel in a very old building with its own outside door,...

Visited on a bust Saturday evening on our way home after a busy 12 hour day with horses. We were sweaty scruffy and hungry and I'm coeliac so must be gluten free. Not only did they kindly squeeze us in but they had delicious GF...

Excellent value lunch menu at £8.50 the lasagne was tasty and a large portion, it comes with 2 slices of fresh bread, maybe garlic bread would be nicer and I added a side salad for £3.50. Cottage pie came with veg, again excellent value and...

We visited this place yesterday with friends which was suppose to be a lovely afternoon. We ordered 4 roast meals of which were very poor quality inedible to be truthful When I told the landlady presume she was? I mentioned that my chicken was like...

Visited today on route to Wales for Lunch Great Bar and Garden, Staff very friendly and helpful - Freshly cooked food would highly recommend and great value for money thankyou

Had a two night stay here this week and were very disappointed. Our room, and in fact the rest of the pub, were sad, tired and very grubby. There was grime and mildew everywhere, and nothing that a damp cloth and soapy water couldn't have...

Stopped here on our way back from a short break in Dorset and had a brilliant value lunch. I would strongly recommend because the food was as good as we had in our time in Dorset and for a fraction of the price!

The Dog Inn is a convenient stop for drinks on the Cotswold Way. We called in for mid-afternoon coffee - excellent cappuccino - whilst walking to our next B&B.

Any village is lucky to retain a pub these days, and times for them have been tough but, even so, this one could be much nicer. The bar area is rather dull, worn and soulless. The dry busy staff are polite but completely impersonal. Claims...

Haven’t visited for a number of years so decided to go back and try it for lunch. The food was nice and the staff were very pleasant. That’s were the positives end. The interior was ok but looks a bit tired. We sat outside, and...

Came for an evening meal ordered our meals. Bit into a chip and chocked on a straight long dark brown piece of hair! I mentioned it quietly to the bar staff as I hate making a fuss. He took the food away and came back...

Wow! Visited last night for food and drinks; what a great decision to visit here. The only thing better than our tasty meals and good value selection of drinks was the service that we received from all of the staff. They were so friendly, attentive...

My wife and I were recommended to this pub and it did not disappoint. The menu choice for the £7.50 deal was excellent and my wife had smoked mackerel and I had quiche and chips. The food was of very high quality and the service...

Arrived at around 9,30pm in the middle of the pub's quiz night, Young man behind the bar showed us to our room. Looked OK at first but on closer examination it became obvious there were small signs of neglect. One double socket for bedside lights...

We visited The Dog for lunch with a group of walkers. Staff were welcoming and efficient and our food was served promptly. We all chose from the varied lunch menu and agreed that the food was tasty and very good value. We will certainly visit...

The room was very clean and bright. The bed was comfortable and the place is very dog friendly. The owners/staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to make me feel welcome. They gave great advice about places to visit. The food was...

Well I have to admit that I was put off this pub by the reviews and was going to look for another venue close to the Cotswold Way, We were going to meet in the car park and make plans. However a few of our...

We visited the Dog on a Saturday evening and were greeted by the team of friendly bar staff. We were told upfront that as they were short staffed in the kitchen there could be a wait. In fact our starter arrived about 30 mins after...

Went for a comfortable lunch. Not a good ambience - very tired and grubby. Ordered from the lunch menu and got charged main menu prices. White wine was warm. Asked to move tables away from the toilets which was accommodated thankfully. Used to have loveley...

Don’t come here Staff Rude Ran out of Steaks Waited 2 hours for starters Manger very Aggressive towards us

I found this little diamond on the off chance after finishing late. I have come back three times since as the staff are so friendly and courteous and have a welcoming attitude. The food was beautiful and fresh I had the seabass which was cooked...

Stopped here for a meal, which I had booked in advance. Staff friendly. Menu looked nice and varied. Found drinks a little expensive for a run down pub. The food we ordered arrived and generous portions. Partners meal was very tasty and the chips were...

Stayed here just one night while walking the Cotswold Way. Our rooms was clean and comfortable and large. We had a great dinner here - pub food - but well cooked and presented. The Breakfasts were excellent. Staff were efficient and land lady and land...

6 of us enjoyed a lovely lunch (6 different meals,all of them were very tasty) under cover of the marquee, with the patio heater on. Young staff that served us were very pleasant, it was a good place for a catch up with the girls...

Rude staff smells like piss. Pub needs painting. Beer tastes like gone off dog piss. Maybe that’s why it’s called the dog inn.

We stopped here today after a decent walk for a couple of sausage and mushroom baps. They were cooked to order and were delicious - good quality sausages, nice bap and gorgeously juicy portabello mushroom. Recommended! Looking forward to being able to do a proper...

This is a brilliant family and dog friendly pub that serves very lovely pub grub . I’ve been on multiple occasion and never been disappointed this is a 10/10 for me on price and service. If you want a nice Sunday dinner this is a...

We popped in for lunch before starting a local circular walk. We were pleasently surprised how busy it was on a Friday lunch time and the extensive menus available. The lunch prices were very good, the staff were very efficient and the home cooked food...

My wife & I along with Barney our Golden Retriever have recently moved from a lifetime in South Gloucestershire to Tenby. Consequently it was important to find a nice dog friendly Inn that was in striking distance to our two daughters who still live in...

The Dog Inn is OK. The exterior is welcoming but the inside is disappointing. It’s a rustic outdated interior in my opinion, looks a little dirty and was a little uncomfortable towards the end of our meal. The food was OK. If you’re looking for...

Given one as can’t give any lower but would if I could. To start with I ordered pie and asked for chips instead of mash didn’t seem like an issue when out order was taken but then I was bought pie and mash, I said...

We visited this pub as local to us. Our first and last visit i'm afraid. We found the staff not over friendly and the landlady was rude to other people, quite off hand .Due to covid regulations we were asked to be seated and they...

Spent a very pleasant Friday afternoon here. Sat in the garden for coffee then moved into the pub for lunch. We both had scampi, chips and peas. Ok it’s not going to get any Michelin stars but the food was hot and substantial. The service...

This probably explains the awful sunday lunch today. The bar staff couldnt care less....not impressed and my partner will not go back.

I had to sent my cottage pie back twice. Hot plate, veg and gravy shame the cottage pie was still very cold! Had to sent it back twice and was asked by the girl if everything was ok! Yet it was her I told my...

This place is as bad as ever. The bar are is dirty. The carpets, seating areas and toilets are all filthy!!! The bar stills are a health and safety gizzard. Even some of the locals said the beers are hit and miss. The landlords are...

This place , as always, is dirty, filthy carpets, seating and bar stools. The bar area is dirty too. We only go there to meet up with friends every so often. Not our choice. Toilets are rank too!!! God knows what the owners do or...

Dirty worn out furniture with stains and cigarette burns, lovely bar staff but landlords unfriendly. Smelly, dirty toilets.

This pub needs a makeover. The bench seats are ripped, the carpet looks ancient, the exterior is dilapidated but we had a good Sunday lunch there. Two roast beefs, two vegetarian roasts, a pork and turkey roast and a very impressive looking ploughman’s lunch. For...

The staff are friendly and up for a laugh, they are very helpful and aid the welcoming atmosphere of the pub/

I live locally and this on on one of my walking routes.its a lovely, cosy pub with good food and good choice of wines, ales and largers. The staff are friendly and there is a fab beer garden though I do feel this could be...

A 10 - 15 minute walk from the Old Sodbury House Hotel a long a busy road but worth it. Great atmosphere, good food of an excellent size serving.

Walking the Cotswold Way and Old Sodbury was penultimate overnight stop. Stayed across road in Rock Cottage so had dinner and breakfast in The Dog Inn. Pub busy for dinner. Good food for both meals with friendly service. All good.

Had fish and chips on lunch menu. Fish still frozen in middle. Sunday lunch, beef as tough as shoe leather, cold plates, swordfish brick hard obviously microwaved too long, Roast chicken was a breast of chicken also hard and dry. Gone downhill the past month...

Bedroom awaiting refurbishment but was spacious and well equipped. Food was first class, generous helpings and very friendly, efficient staff.

We stopped at this pub after walking part of teh Cotswold Way. As already said do not judge external appearance as on the main road passing through Old Sodbury. The food is lovely home-cooked food with enormous portions, I had roast beef with I think...

When we arrived after long walk along the Cotswold Way, we noticed this was right on a busy A road and worried we wouldn't sleep. However, we got any excellent night's sleep, the room, out the back of the pub was very quiet. The staff...

Lovely home cooked food, really friendly staff & service but please remember to bring your appetite with you as the portions are mahoosive.

We stopped by this pub for a couple of drinks after doing a very picturesque 5 mile circular walk round the Sodburys. Judging it from its external appearance, I really wasn’t that enthusiastic to go in. I’m so glad we did though! And I wanted...

Good food and generous helpings, Good polite and attentive staff. Reasonable selection of beers. Yes, would go back sometime in the future.

Revisited here for Sunday lunch on 30 June 19. Seems to be under new management. The meal was appallingly bad. On making complaint regarding our lunch were given the brush off saying they were busy. Would suggest that it is given a miss as I...

Cozy spot for small groups. We had a few drinks this time, but prior to this visit we had a wonder Dinner for 9 people and everyone enjoyed their meal.

The lamb shank Is delicious, it never fails with a sauce to die for. Dog friendly, this is always a bonus with me. Elmo loves the lamb bone.

Lovely! Fresh, hot and really tasty. Best roast I’ve had in ages. There was plenty of veg and a really generous portion of meat. We will def be back!

Llegamos aquí sin reservación previa, después de haber dejado las pruebas de caballos de bádminton en busca de una buena comida.

This pub is the start of a beautiful Cotswold walk that lasts between an 1 1/2 to 2 hours and well worth the walk. Pub is very dog friendly with treats available and bowls of water on demand!

Plenty of choice on the menu's!

Have been here on more than one occasion and the Sunday lunches have been plentiful and delicious, will be back again this weekend 😋

Enjoyed the breakfast and dinners during our stay with a friendly staff who shared with us the history of the inn.

Encontré este lugar simplemente por accidente cuando viajábamos y necesitábamos un lugar para almorzar. Aparcamiento fácil y un restaurante muy concurrido (muchas mesas reservadas, siempre es una buena señal). Mucha variedad en el menú, desde comidas calientes hasta sándwiches y opciones vegetarianas.

Hemos estado entrando y saliendo de aquí por años, el mismo propietario ha estado allí por algunos de ellos. Un menú muy variado para todos los gustos, no tuvimos una mala comida allí.

Este es un pub realmente agradable donde los perros también son bienvenidos, he comido aquí varias veces y siempre ha sido encantador. Hay un menú variado muy bueno que incluye una tabla de peces, el filete de pez espada es delicioso y este lugar tiene las mejores papas fritas, ¡no las cambies! ! Los asados ​​del domingo son fabulosos también, definitivamente lo recomendaría.

Llamamos aquí para almorzar mientras caminábamos por el Camino Cotswold bajo la lluvia torrencial. Afortunadamente reservé con anticipación ya que estaba bastante ocupado. Nos recibió un personal amable.

I stayed at The Dog Inn Pub sadly for the purpose of attending the funeral of a very dear friend. I was delayed during my journey and was delighted to receive a call from the hosts to check that I was safe and did I know when I might arrive so that they could welcome me. Upon arrival I was shown to my room by a member of staff and then proceeded to the bar where I met the hosts. They are the most amazing couple who are friendly, cheerful and exceptionally helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was spacious, clean and very welcoming. I would recommend this accommodation exceptionally highly. Thank you for making a very difficult trip much more bearable.

Popped in here for a quick pint. Really lovelly looking pub. There do serve food in here but we were meeting family and friends and eating elsewhere.

Thursday 5th july. I came to this pub with good expectations as was told good thing, I was very disappointed. The service was not what you would expect from a business in hospitality as they waiters where rude and simply gloomy. The menu was basic and uninspired, exsacly what you would expect from a weatherspoons. I had the mushroom brei Wellington witch seemed to have been cooked using the microwave. raw pastry, microwave burnt filling, and carrots over cooked so much it was a surprise they held there shape. The rest of the meals followed the same trend of most likely cooked in a microwave.i could only assume that the chef's have lost all passion for there job or just don't care. They ended up taking the Wellington of the bill but made no effort to say sorry for what was a sh*t meal. Hope they can use this as a wake up call and start to actually cook but I feel like it's just another pub slowly failing.

Decided to take out my kids and partner for something to and came here for the first time in 20 years.

Ate here on Sunday 6th May 2018 - Glenn took several emails from myself changing figures - was always very prompt in replying & very accommodating. All 14 main meals were excellent & I strongly recommend the mussels absolutely delicious. Tables had been reserved for us inside but as the weather was so good they offered us to eat outside which we did & had a truly memorable evening for my Birthday - next time I visit home I will definitely be eating here again. Staff were all very good so Thankyou.

Very pleasant coffee here today after a stroll along the Cotswold Way. Extremely reasonably priced with the nice addition of a chocolate mint. Lovely to see the fire in operation.

It really is hot or miss when you come here. There’s no consistency with the quality of the food. Soggy batter on the cod, ropey average lasagne straight out the packet. I had the Chicken Balti - tasty but there was too much sauce to the quantity of Chicken. The poppadom - there was only one - was dry like cardboard. Last time we ate here we had Steak & Ale pie which was fab! Time before, the Sunday roast which was average, the meat was dry and roast potatoes over done and hard. Really hit and miss at The Dog!!!

Another successful Christmas party hosted by the team at the dog inn for the rge yate team was a good night food was excellent again thanks to all the team at the dog for putting on a good night was enjoyed by all

this pub can't even cook sausages without burning them. depressing environment and really, really cold - hadn't even put central heating on and log fire still not giving out heat at 2pm!

The Dog is first and foremost a restaurant but retains all the features of a traditional pub. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good selection of beers and ciders, decent wine. The Dog has a varied menu and includes many fish dishes as well as some 'home made' stlye pies.

The food was excellent & Hannah at the bar is very bubbly & her laugh is very,very infectious.. Recommend the prawn cocktail,fish & whitebait also the sausage egg & chips..

After a walk on the Cotswold Way popped in for a half pint of Real Ale which I believe was brewed in Wickwar. The Beer was called Bob. I asked about Sharps Doom Bar I was told it was £4 per pint which is nearly London prices.

I ate here last night with 5 friends and wanted to comment on it as it was delicious. All 6 of us ordered different things and we had 6 empty plates at the end. I had the lasagne which was the best Ive ever had, two people had the pies and my other half had the vegetarian wellington. They have an extensive bespoke fish menu also. It was a Wednesday and every table was reserved and the whole pub was enjoying food. I suspect the battered cod is really good also as the table next to us of around 8 people all ordered it. I will be back without any doubt.

I booked for 4 of us for Sunday roast as we had called in on the off chance 3 weeks...

Lunch with family today. Light Bite menu just right. Lovely chap behind the bar. Very nooky sort of pub, lots...

Comimos aquí y no un informe que gastro pub mientras, la comida está por encima de la media de calidad. Hay un bar y una zona para comer a través, por suerte, no con hilo musical, aunque había una televisión, aunque con el volumen de bajas bajas.

This is the only venue where we could pick up a quick sandwich on a Sunday. Don't like Sunday lunch so it was a good find. The staff were on the ball and very friendly and there was a good choice of alternatives to standard Sunday fayre which was just what we needed. The quality of the food was first class and served quickly. Prices were good so that is all boxes ticked. Well done all.

A handy lunchtime pub on The Cotswold Way. Beer is great, food is plenteous and unpretentious, welcome is warm, location is spot on.

First class experience all round. Excellent comprehensive menu, lovely staff, surroundings and atmosphere full of quaint charm. I went for the scallops off the specials board and they were divine. My colleagues had the biriani and the seafood spaghetti and both rated highly. I found the staff very warm and friendly with the perfect amount of attention at the right times so was never overpowering. It's just off the M4 near Bristol/Bath so it's perfect for my business meetings where often I'm meeting colleagues and customers from London or the Midlands. To think previously I would have used Leigh Dela-nightmare services when this gem was just round the corner!! Looking forward to my next visit very soon.

Excellent pub à l'ambiance familiale avec un très grand jardin fermé permettant aux enfants de jouer à l'extérieur pendant que les adultes profitent de l'ambiance si british de ce pub !!!

We visited for lunch yesterday having not been there for a few years (since the previous landlords) and we had read favourable recent reviews. We were not disappointed. We received a pleasant welcome, the local ale was spot on and the Thatchers Haze was also good. We ordered food and the waiting time was reasonable given how busy the pub was. The lasagne was lovely and served with garlic bread which was not burnt, and the quiche, salad and chips was very good too. A very pleasurable experience and we will definitely be back.
