The Dog & Gun Inn, or "The Dog", as it tends to be known by
its regular visitors, is set amongst the magnificent countryside, above
the village of Oxenhope. It is an old 17th century Coaching Inn, and
is well known for its excellent food and fine ales. |

The Dog is reputed to have a mischievous ghost. By all accounts a
local lady who used to drink at the pub in the late 1700's and who,
when leaving the pub late one night, is said to have fallen under
the wheels of a carriage. Even until this day no-one can quite
explain some of the strange occurrences, items falling, and the
occasional sense that even on the quitest of evenings you're never
quite alone!
The pub is proud to offer a wide range of premium cask
conditioned beers, as well as a full selection of competitively priced
lagers, spirits, malts and fine wines. The Dog offers eating choices to
suit all tastes...

The surrounding countryside offers something to suit all tastes.
There are many walks, even for the most ambitious of walkers, and
the chance to explore the local countryside and use the pub as a
final meeting spot cannot be missed.
Take the time to enjoy the best
country scenery Yorkshire has to offer. In the distance are the
remote moors which inspired the Brontes. Wuthering Heights can be
seen from the pub's doorstep and its a convenient stopping point on
the return from the popular tourist attractions of Haworth and Hebden Bridge.

The
Dog is popular all year round...
In
winter it has two roaring open fires which just ask the visitor to
relax and stay, and keep out from the cold wind outside....
In
summer, the views to the open Bronte moors in the distance, and the
accessibility to local visitor attractions like Haworth and the
Worth Valley Railway make it a convenient and attractive place to
visit....
Kath
and Michael Roper are proud to offer visitors a great Yorkshire
welcome, a fantastic selection
of beers including Timothy Taylor's Bitter, Golden Best and
Landlord, as well as a varied selection of lagers, bottled beers
and the choice of a wide selection of wines from an extensive
wine list..

The Dog is the perfect choice for orgainsing your function or
celebration. Whether its a romantic meal for two, a drink with
friends, a family meal or a function for many guests all needs can
be catered for....
The Bar area provides a great meeting point, and for a bar snack or
just a couple of beers with friends its welcoming fires and friendly
atmosphere make it a place you can just relax and be at home. The
Restaurant provides somewhere quieter to enjoy great service and
excellent food. Linked to The Dog is the Leeming Wells Hotel - the
perfect spot for a bigger function catering for up to 130 people at
a single sitting, and if some of your guests need accomodation then
its all under one roof. The perfect answer for a birthday
celebration or a wedding reception.
The surrounding scenery just adds to the attraction. The Dog and Gun
Inn is only a short distance from many local beauty spots and the
very best Yorkshire has to offer in terms of scenery and
entertainment. Haworth is less than 2 miles away, home of the Bronte
sisters. There lots to see and do in Haworth, or visit the Worth
Valley Railway. There are many lovely walks, which will bring you
back to the Dog and Gun for lunch. If you fancy travelling further
afield the Dales has so much more to offer, and just over in th e
next valley is Hebden Bridge, home to Hardcastle Crags. Superb is
you want a days walking in the woods, but equally ideal if you just
fancy pottering around the gift shops and antique stores. The
Yorkshire Tourist Board shows many fascinating ways to spend a few
hours or to spend the day. Check out their website:

The Dog has people coming from
all parts of the world to enjoy its unique offerings, but also it
has many regular for whom its a real home from home. We hope to see you there soon....
