The Plough Inn

The Plough Inn is a traditional pub in Ellington, just outside Newbiggin-by-the-Sea on the Northumberland coast route. Dogs are welcome inside the bar area, where the kitchen serves lunch and evening meals most days – useful if you're heading along the A1068 and need a stop that lets the whole group settle in together. The bar is the heart of the pub and that's where your dog is invited to join you while you eat.

Expect a relaxed, locals-friendly atmosphere and remember the lead. Food service runs lunchtimes and evenings Monday to Friday, all day Saturday and lunchtime Sunday, so timing your visit around the kitchen hours is worth checking.

It's a handy coastal-rim pub for visitors exploring Ellington and the surrounding area. No flashy extras, just a proper welcome for dogs, decent food and the reassurance that you won't be eating separately from your four-legged travel companion.
