The Dog in the Pond (commonly known as The Dog, briefly named The Jolly Roger) is a fictional public house in the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks. It has been at the centre of the show's setting since it began in 1995. In 2003, The Dog in the Pond was nominated as the "Best TV Boozer of All Time" in a poll run by Blackthorn Cider.[1] The pub was burnt down in episodes airing in September 2006 during the 'Fire at The Dog', which killed five regular characters.[2] The fire was named as one of soap's biggest disasters by the Daily Record in 2010.[3]
