The Ship Inn is a historic pub in Porlock, a few miles inland from Minehead, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily with dogs welcome inside the bar.

Settle in with your dog under the table while you work through the menu, from early-morning fuel to a proper evening meal. The bar serves the full food offering, so there's no need to leave your dog outside or split the group. On-site parking takes the hassle out of arrival and the pub's central village position makes it a natural stop before or after walks around Porlock and the nearby harbour.

Open from half past eight in the morning until eleven at night Sunday to Thursday and half an hour later on Friday and Saturday, The Ship combines dog-friendly practicality with the kind of all-day access that fits around everyone's schedule.

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome inside the bar, where the full food menu is served. Settle in under the table and enjoy your stop together.
