The Dambusters Inn is a village pub and restaurant in Scampton, just outside Lincoln, where dogs are welcome inside. Settle in for a meal with your dog under the table – food is served throughout the pub and the whole group can relax together. The heritage setting and warm welcome make it a useful stop if you're exploring the area with a dog in tow.

The pub has its own resident dog, Bomber, who sets the tone for a genuinely dog-friendly atmosphere. Visitors mention the relaxed vibe and dog-friendly tables and the place feels like a proper village local rather than a formal dining room. Opening hours run Tuesday to Saturday from midday, with food served at lunch and dinner.

Sunday lunch runs until half three and the pub is closed on Mondays. It's a handy out-of-town base if you're touring Lincolnshire with a dog and want somewhere reliable for a sit-down meal.
