Dogs at The Drill
There’s nothing quite like a well-earned pint or a hearty meal after a long dog walk. At The Drill Inn, we believe our four-legged friends deserve a warm welcome too! Whether you've been exploring the Staffordshire countryside or just strolling down Springlestyche Lane, your dog is always a VIP (Very Important Pup) here.

Explore Local Dog Walks
Make a day of it! We are incredibly lucky to be surrounded by some of Staffordshire's best dog-walking countryside. Whether you're looking for a quick morning stroll or a long weekend hike, here are a few local favorites to explore before heading back to The Drill Inn for a well-earned pint and some hearty food:
Cannock Chase:
Just a short drive away, this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a dog-walker's paradise. With endless woodland trails, open heathland, and pine forests, your dog will be in their element.
Gentleshaw Common:
Located practically on our doorstep, this peaceful nature reserve offers winding paths through beautiful heathland—ideal for a quick escape into nature before relaxing by the pub fire.
Chasewater Country Park:
Perfect for a flatter, scenic route. The circular path around the reservoir is a fantastic, refreshing walk that builds up a great appetite.
