The Ship Inn

The Ship Inn is a picturesque harbour pub and restaurant in Weymouth with quay views, hearty pub classics, Dorset-brewed Badger beers, and a properly friendly welcome. Dogs are welcome inside too, which makes it especially handy for Weymouth wanderers who do not fancy abandoning one furry companion outside while everyone else tucks into lunch.

The feel is warm, traditional, and easy to settle into, whether the plan is coffee and cake, a family meal, or a catch-up over a pint while watching the boats. The pub serves food daily from noon until 9pm Sunday to Thursday and until 9.30pm Friday and Saturday, with hearty pub food and Badger beers keeping humans happy while dogs settle at their feet. The whole ground floor welcomes dogs, with water bowls and dog biscuits available.

A very reliable "this will do nicely" kind of harbour stop, where paws and people can enjoy the waterside view together without anyone doing the pavement-waiting shuffle. Public car parks are close by for those arriving by car.
