Driffield's first & only
Experience real ale in a real pub
The Butcher’s Dog is a family owned, independent business in Driffield, run by a local family team that’s truly passionate about great real ale and traditional pubs.
Founded on the belief that smaller independent pubs can compete with the big name breweries and chain pubs – we focus on serving quality real ale and old-fashioned values that the big corporates simply can’t offer.
Feel free to bring in your four legged friend while you enjoy your drinks. Who knows, they may even get a treat!
We are fully CAMRA accredited and offer discounts to our card holding CAMRA members
The name is a culmination of the history of our site, four decades of UK micro brewing heritage, and our own pet dog!
Our first site, at 24 Middle Street, was built ~500 years ago as a butchers shop and remained so thought its history until 2008. We opened in 2014.
The Butchers Dog Name was partly a homage to the very first micro pub in the UK, The Butchers Arms, and a story of a dog pinching a string of sausages from the butchers and running away down Driffield high-street. How true that story is we don’t know but we liked it and came up with our logo depicting our beautiful Dalmatian Peppa as the sausage thief.
In 2021 we moved from its first site to the Middle Pub site on the market place. We decided to keep our name, even though many of the Driffield locals will always know it as The Old Falcon.
But the name still has a nod back to the original pub name, The Dog & Duck… what a coincidence that over 200 years ago people will have been saying “i’ll meet you down The Dog” just as they do today!!
All our beers are carefully sourced from across the region and beyond, and we strive to offer something to please every real ale enthusiast. In compliment to our ales and ciders we offer wine, spirits, continental beers, Gluten free & vegan options along with non alcoholic beer and soft drinks
