Most pubs with rooms are built around a good pint and honest food. These 18 are the exceptions — a Michelin star, a Bib Gourmand, an AA Rosette or a Good Food Guide entry, with rooms upstairs so a serious dinner doesn't mean a drive home afterwards. If you're travelling with a dog, check the card below carefully — a kitchen this good doesn't always mean the dining room itself takes dogs at dinner.

Destination dining
Dogs aren't allowed in the restaurant at dinner, but are welcome in the bar — worth asking if food's served there if you want to eat together.
