Dogs are generally not allowed in Wetherspoons pubs, including all indoor and outdoor areas, across all UK locations. This no-dog policy has been enforced since 2018 due to concerns about safety, hygiene, and disruptions, as these pubs are often busy with families and food service. However, assistance dogs are an exception to this policy and are permitted in Wetherspoons pubs as required by UK law, although it is recommended to bring documentation and have the dog wear a recognizable harness or collar to identify it as an assistance dog.
