Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

8 Aug 2026

The Friston Chequers is a relaxed country pub in the village of Friston, a short drive inland from Aldeburgh. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle in at the bar or at your table without leaving anyone tied up outside. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.

Food is served throughout the week, with kitchen hours covering lunchtimes and evenings from Wednesday to Sunday. The menu suits a proper meal out rather than just a quick pint and your dog can supervise from under the table while you eat.

It's a useful stop if you're combining a day on the Aldeburgh coast with exploring the quieter villages and lanes around Snape. The pub keeps typical country hours: closed on Tuesdays, evening-only service on Mondays and longer opening from Wednesday through the weekend.

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome inside the pub, so you can eat and drink together without leaving the lead behind. Food is served throughout the week and your dog can settle under the table while you enjoy your meal.
