The Kings Arms

The Kings Arms in Great Yarmouth is a proper, no-nonsense pub tucked just off the market square and right by the Minster, where dogs are welcome inside. Think real ales, hearty plates of food and a steady hum of locals and visitors all mixing together while your dog settles in beside you.

Inside, it leans traditional and welcoming, with a cosy bar feel that works just as well for a quick drink as it does for settling in properly. There's also a large beer garden out back when the weather behaves, giving you that easy "one more round" energy after a town wander.

It's the kind of place where the dog can flop down while you reset before heading back out again, with water likely appearing without asking and plenty of interesting floor-level smells to investigate. A relaxed stop where nobody's blinking if the dog fully commits to a mid-pub nap.
