The Carpenters Arms

The Carpenters Arms is a village pub in Wighton, just inland from Wells-next-the-Sea, where dogs are welcome inside and out. It's the sort of spot that's useful after a walk through the surrounding countryside or when you need a break from the coast without leaving your dog in the car.

The pub serves food and drinks in a traditional setting and the welcome extends to well-behaved dogs throughout. There's no fuss about where you sit, which makes life easier when you've got leads, bags and a damp terrier to juggle.

Wighton sits a couple of miles south of Wells and the pub makes a practical stop if you're exploring the North Norfolk hinterland. Village-road parking is typically the practical option here.
