The Pilot Boat

The Pilot Boat is a gastropub in the heart of Lyme Regis, right by the harbour and beach.

Dogs are welcome inside the front pub and throughout the outside areas, making it an easy stop for a pint and a sit-down when you're exploring the seafront with your dog in tow. The central location means you're steps from walks along the beach and around the harbour, so you can break up a ramble with proper shelter and a warm drink without leaving your dog outside. It's the sort of place where wet paws and tangled leads won't raise an eyebrow.

Operating from the heart of the town with live booking on their site, The Pilot Boat fits neatly into a visitor's itinerary—especially useful if you're after somewhere dog-inclusive when the weather turns or you need a proper meal break during a coastal day out.
