The Fat Badger Whitby

The Fat Badger is a traditional pub on Whitby's West Cliff, serving food and drink throughout the week with dogs welcome inside. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.

You'll find it open from 11am daily, making it a handy stop after a cliff-top walk or between seafront exploring. Dogs are welcome in the pub and lounge areas, so the whole group can settle in for a proper meal without splitting up. The main restaurant is assistance-dogs only, but the dog-friendly spaces still give you full access to the menu and a proper table.

It's a lively, welcoming spot that works well as a midday refuel or an end-of-walk pint and the West Cliff location means you're never far from the next sniff-worthy detour. That simple inclusion is especially useful when the weather turns or the day needs a proper sit-down pause.
