The Oystercatcher

The Oystercatcher is a pub in Polzeath, just outside Padstow, where dogs are welcome inside in most areas including the bar.

The main restaurant is excluded, but there's still a straightforward indoor welcome to settle in with a pint while your dog takes up their favourite position at your feet. Open daily from 11am to 11pm, it's a handy coastal stop for dog owners exploring the Polzeath beach and North Cornwall coastline. You can bring your dog inside for food and drinks without the usual pavement-duty negotiations and the pub's location makes it an easy refuelling point after a windswept walk along the sand.

It's the kind of place that works for a quick lunch or a longer session, as long as your dog is happy to supervise proceedings from the bar area rather than the main dining room.
