Dog-friendly The Cow Shed at The Ship Inn is an independently family run pub restaurant, with a large sun soaked, award winning beer garden, located on the London Road, Ospringe, near Faversham. The family or ‘herd’ as they prefer to be known, actively promote family dining, which in turn very much means their dogs, which are welcome anytime inside or out at The Cow Shed. In fact, you’d rarely find the pub without a dog!

The pub is not just dog-friendly, it embraces them as part of their service offer! The management of the pub are dog lovers/owners, who host a Doggy Brunch every first Saturday of the month and is a must-do with your dog.

With mouth watering food, freshly prepared on site on a daily basis, The Cow Shed is open 7 days a week. It opens for breakfast from 9am Monday to Saturday and from 11.30am on Sundays. Why not try a Sunday Roast or a speciality dish from their core dine-in menu. Tuesday night is Cow Shed Speed Quiz, Thursday is Games Night and The Cow Shed regularly hosts local, live music nights and other special events, such as charity fun days, which are always celebrated by the ‘herd’ at The Cow Shed.

Keep an eye on the Doggy What's On for the next Doggy Brunch and follow The Cow Shed on Facebook and Instagram, to stay up-to-date with the latest Cow Shed news.

WHAT IS HOOPERS?!

WHAT IS HOOPERS?!

Hoopers is fast and fluid where dogs get to negotiate a course of hoops, barrels and tunnels whilst the handler directs them at distance.

Distance handling upskills the human/canine partnership whilst 'lower impact' and generally safer by avoiding jumps, tight turns and heights. Great for junior and senior dogs as well as handlers with limited physical fitness - your dog does the hard work! Big dogs, small dogs, any breed of any age can enjoy Canine Hoopers. Come and join the fun!
