The Chapel Bar

The Chapel Bar on Battle High Street gave us and Lily a welcoming stop during our day exploring the town. We enjoyed sweet potato fries and good service, while Lily was given treats and had a water bowl brought over to where we were sitting. Dogs are welcome inside and must stay on lead, so you can enjoy a food or drink stop together. Football shirts, records and exposed brickwork give this music and sports bar plenty of character, and the menu offers burgers, sandwiches and pub favourites, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free-labelled options. Every Thursday from 4pm to 6pm, its Pet-a-Puppy event supports Hollyview Animal Sanctuary in Watlington. There’s no entry charge, but visitors must buy at least one drink and are asked to donate to the sanctuary. We’d happily return with Lily.

If you’d like to meet the puppies, plan your visit for Thursday between 4pm and 6pm and check the latest event details with the bar before travelling. You’ll need to buy at least one drink, with a donation to Hollyview Animal Sanctuary requested too.
