We have listed the pubs in order from East to West Surrey (roughly).
Ash
Greyhound – 1 Ash St, Ash, Aldershot GU12 6LA
A cosy pub with a courtyard which is a sun trap on warmer days, this pub welcomes dogs in the bar area and courtyard, but not the restaurant area. The bar area includes a nice space at the top of the stairs leading to the courtyard, but it only has a few tables so it may be worth booking in advance if you have your dog with you. There is parking available and some great dog walks around Ash Green Meadows which you can get to via a public footpath a short walk away.
Shackleford
The Cyder House Inn – Peper Harow Ln, Godalming GU8 6AN
One of the best dog friendly pubs we have visited in Surrey, this lovely old country pub has gone one step further to make dogs welcome. Visit their dog station on your way in to choose a dog bowl, various treats and a blanket for them to use. The food is excellent and has a range of unusual choices – especially if you are looking for vegan or vegetarian choices (battered banana blossom anyone?). There is a playground for children and also toys inside for them to play with. This Surrey dog friendly pub is only 5 minutes drive away from great walks at Puttenham Common.
Pirbright
The Royal Oak – Aldershot Road, Pirbright, GU24 0DQ
