A DOG’S LIFE With Jennifer & Rudolph Jennifer Beveridge and her pet pooch Rudolph seek out the Tees region’s dog-friendly pubs and restaurants… R esearching our contribution to this issue of Tees Life was particularly enjoyable for Rudolph and I. It involved en joying delicious meals and refreshing drinks – together! As a nation of dog lovers, what better way to enjoy each other’s company than with fabulous food and refreshing drinks? After all, if you can dine with your furry friend at The Ritz in Paris, then why not enjoy the very same privilege here on Teesside? We found a great website - doggiepubs. org.uk - designed to signpost you and your four-legged friend to the bars and restaurants where you’re both assured a friendly welcome. Did you know there are 29 pubs in and around Teesside welcoming canine companions through their doors? Rudolph and I recently reacquainted ourselves with a couple of our favourite places right on our doorstep. THE CRATHORNE ARMS, CRATHORNE, TS15 0BA What a great evening we had. On arrival, we were directed to the dog-friendly area of the bar where we were enthusiastically met with a bowl of fresh water for Rudolph and a delicious glass of red for me! We whiled away the evening in the easy company of the patrons with great food and wine (not too much of course; everything in moderation). THE KEYS, YARM, TS15 9BH This great spot in the heart of Yarm is known for its diversity, so it was no surprise they only too happily welcome dogs and their owners into designated areas of the bar and restaurant. Rudolph made himself at home here and particularly enjoyed the treats served to him along with his bowl of water. As the Spring and Summer months unravel ahead of us, we plan to enjoy long walks ending at some of the many watering holes throughout Teesside. Here are a few more to choose from: The Fox Covert, between Yarm and Ingleby Barwick The Teal Arms, Ingleby Barwick King’s Arms, Wolviston Road, Billingham The Masham, Hartburn Village The Vane Arms, Long Newton The George & Dragon, Yarm The Golden Lion, Osmotherley The King’s Head Arms, Newton- Under-Roseberry The Spa Hotel, Saltburn 33
