The Artichoke

The Artichoke is an established real-ale pub on Magdalen Road in Norwich, where dogs are welcome inside throughout. It's the kind of NR3 local that draws both regulars and beer hunters and nobody has to volunteer for pavement duty while the others settle in with a pint.

Food is served in the dog-friendly indoor area, so the whole group can eat together without juggling leads and doorways. The pub opens from 2pm Monday to Thursday, noon on Friday through Sunday and stays open late most nights – useful when your afternoon dog walk turns into a longer city ramble.

This is a practical stop for walkers exploring the NR3 area, with a strong local reputation and the kind of welcome that makes wet-paw logistics easier. Dogs are allowed everywhere inside, so you can claim a corner and let them supervise proceedings from under the table.
