The Bell Inn

The Bell Inn is a traditional pub in Carlton Colville, on the eastern edge of Lowestoft, where dogs are welcome inside the bar area. Food is served Monday to Thursday from 12:00pm to 2:30pm and 5:30pm to 8:00pm, until 8:30pm on Fridays and there's weekend breakfast from 9:30am to 11:30am on Saturdays and Sundays.

The kitchen also runs straight through on Sundays from noon until 5:00pm. Dogs can settle in alongside you at the bar while you eat, so there's no need to leave anyone outside or take shifts.

It's the kind of place where your lead-and-bag tangle can stay under the table and supervision duties can continue uninterrupted. Useful if you're exploring the East Anglia Transport Museum or Carlton Marshes nearby and need a proper sit-down with food on offer and your dog still at your feet.
