Dog Friendly Pubs and Restaurants

By Andrea

Dog Friendly Pubs and Restaurants local to Deepdale Backpackers & Camping, north Norfolk coast Food For thought. The North Norfolk Coast has been a revelation in K9 welcomes. I have spent years hiking the Lakes and the Dales with poochies in tow - unable at times to find a place to get a warm meal inside without having to leave the dogs either in the car or outside. Not likely to happen when you have a Huskey, who likes to remind me of his presence with a wolf like howling whine. The perfect side order for all pub grub! So here I thought I would let you into some of the real Gems of the North Norfolk Coast for good food, good company and a welcoming waterbowl!Food For thought.  The North Norfolk Coast has been a revelation in K9 welcomes.

The Life Boat Inn, Thornham
A very nice place to go and get a hearty meal at very reasonable cost.  Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant but they are welcome everywhere else (barring the kitchen of course!)  I highly recommend the BBQ ribs so do Jazz and Jasper (Collie and Huskey), they wait very quietly under the table until I have finished then they love to have a crafty nibble on the bones!

The Old Coach House, Thornham
Nice Pasta, Great Pizza and fantastic Calzonne.  Lots of little nooks and cranny rooms for you to relax in and enjoy.

The Jolly Sailors, Brancaster Staithe
Dogs welcome as are children.  But only well behaved adults are allowed to accompany them!

The White Horse, Brancaster Staithe
In the Bar or out on the balcony front or back they are more than welcome.  A bowl of fresh water is always waiting at the door for the thirsty explorers panting after a run on the marshes. No dogs in the restaurant as is the norm around here.

The Hoste Arms, Burnham Market
Again the bar and lounge are dog friendly but not the restaurant.  And they do look at you funny if your K9 pal tries to drink the water feature!

Pup in for a pint
Here is a fantastic resource countrywide – a great big list of all the pubs you can take your dog for a pint with you!
