The Queen Victoria Inn

The Queen Victoria Inn is a classic Mendip pub in the village of Priddy, just outside Wells, where dogs are welcome inside alongside their humans. With open fires and a warm atmosphere, it's the kind of place where your dog can settle by the hearth while you both recover from a walk on the hills.

Food is served throughout the week and dogs can stay with you in the dining areas—no need to leave anyone outside or juggle leads in the rain. The menu runs from lunchtime into the evening, with flexible kitchen hours that suit walkers arriving at different times of day.

There's a customer car park on site, which makes life easier when you're travelling with bags, boots and a muddy passenger. It's a reliable stop for anyone exploring the Mendips and a proper village local that knows how to look after dogs and their people.
