The Kittiwake

The Kittiwake is a welcoming pub in Whitley Lodge, just north of Whitley Bay centre, and dogs are welcome inside the main bar area. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.

You can settle in for a drink without leaving anyone tied up outside, and your four-pawed supervisor can stay on duty while you eat. Food is served Wednesday to Sunday, with the kitchen open from noon until 8pm Wednesday to Saturday and Sunday lunch from noon until 4pm. The pub is open daily from noon, with later closing at weekends.

Handy for dog owners exploring the Whitley Bay area or looking for a friendly local stop where the whole group can relax together indoors. That simple inclusion is especially useful when the weather turns or the day needs a proper sit-down pause.
