The Dog Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

A traditional village pub.
Very down to earth with outdoor seating in the summer.
Serves home-made food and a good selection of ales.


Whalley has been under media-spotlight recently as it boasts a large range of pubs, bars and restaurants.
This has brought an unexpected tourism industry that is not always welcome. As groups of people visit at the week-ends for pub-crawls and other antics.
The Dog Inn remains a very local pub. And won't tolerate that type of behavior. But well-behaved muddy paws and boots are welcome.
