Fat Ox Hotel

The Fat Ox Hotel is a friendly community pub on Whitley Road in the centre of Whitley Bay, with dogs welcome inside throughout. It's an easy, no-fuss stop when you're out with your dog in town, whether you're settling in for a pint or taking a break between the seafront and the shops.

The pub serves food daily alongside a full drinks menu, so you and your dog can stick together over lunch or dinner without needing to rearrange plans. The relaxed atmosphere and central location make it one of those places you can drop into without worrying about wet paws or tangled leads in the doorway.

It's open from 11am until 11pm most days, with slightly earlier closing on Sundays. The Fat Ox suits locals and visitors alike and it's the kind of pub where bringing the dog along is simply part of the plan.
