The Victory Inn

The Victory Inn in Staplefield gave us and Lily a very friendly welcome when we stopped for lunch. Dogs are welcome in both the bar and restaurant areas, so Lily could join us while we ate, with free dog treats available too. The traditional interior has wooden beams, table lamps and a brick fireplace, while seating at the front and a spacious rear garden offer plenty of choice outside. The menu combines Italian dishes and specials with familiar pub favourites, and gluten-free pasta and bread are available. There’s a water bowl by the entrance and free parking, with dogs required to stay on lead throughout your visit. We’d happily return for another lunch together.

Take a look at the rear garden before choosing your table, as there’s more outdoor seating beyond the front of the pub. If you’re ordering gluten-free, ask the team about the pasta and bread options.
