The Trowel & Hammer

The Trowel & Hammer is a traditional dog-friendly pub in Lowestoft where dogs are welcome inside the main pub area. It's a proper local spot with food served throughout, so you and your dog can settle in together without anyone having to wait outside or sit separately.

You'll find it handy if you're coming in from Pakefield or the seafront and there's a rear car park on site which helps with the usual lead-and-bag logistics. The pub opens Monday to Thursday from 11:30am until 10pm, Friday from 11:30am to 11pm, Saturday from 9am to 11:30pm and Sunday from 9am to 8pm.

It's the sort of place that works well for beach walkers heading back into town or anyone looking for a relaxed indoor stop where the whole group is genuinely welcome. No fuss, just straightforward dog-friendly hospitality with food available when you need it.
