The Torbay Inn

The Torbay Inn is a traditional central pub in Paignton, moments from the station and town centre. Dogs are welcome inside the public bar, making it a reliable stop if you need a proper local where the dog can come along. It's exactly the kind of venue where a wet afternoon with a pint and your lead wrapped round your leg feels like a sensible plan.

The pub sits in the heart of Paignton's visitor area, handy if you're exploring the seafront or town on foot. Street parking and town-centre car parks are within easy reach and the location means you're close to the sort of ordinary high street and seafront walks that work well between drinks.

A historic pub with the kind of solid reputation that keeps people coming back, this is the sort of place where locals and visitors mix without fuss. Dogs fit into that rhythm naturally and staff treat them as part of the day rather than an exception.
