The King's Head

A Dog-Friendly Pub in the Heart of Lincoln

The King's Head occupies a prime position in Lincoln's historic centre, just a short walk from the magnificent cathedral and the famous Steep Hill. This well-established pub has long been a favourite with locals and visitors alike, combining a traditional atmosphere with a genuine welcome for dogs that sets it apart from many city centre venues.

The pub's interior retains plenty of character, with dark timber beams, exposed brick, and a collection of local memorabilia that tells the story of Lincoln through the ages. The main bar area is comfortable and spacious enough to accommodate dogs of all sizes, and the staff maintain a relaxed approach that makes dog owners feel entirely at ease. On cooler days, the fire adds warmth and ambiance to what is already a convivial setting.

Ales, Food and Good Company

The King's Head is well regarded for its cask ales, with a selection that typically features Lincolnshire favourites alongside guest ales from further afield. The food menu offers reliable pub classics - think generous pies, well-battered fish and chips, and a solid ploughman's lunch. Weekend specials and a popular Sunday roast round out the offering. Prices are fair and portions are hearty, which is exactly what you want after a walk around the city.

Exploring Lincoln With Your Dog

The pub's location makes it an excellent base for exploring Lincoln with a dog. The Arboretum, one of the city's best green spaces, is within walking distance, while the towpath along the Fossdyke Navigation offers a flat, pleasant route for longer walks. After climbing Steep Hill - a workout in itself - The King's Head provides the perfect reward for both you and your dog. Water bowls and treats are always available.
