The Whalebone

The Whalebone is a traditional freehouse pub in NR3, north of Norwich city centre and close to Sewell Park and north-city walking routes. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle into the bar together after a riverside or park circuit without the usual separation stress.

The pub serves food in the dog-friendly indoor area and free dog treats are on hand to keep your table supervisor happy. It's a comfortable stop for the whole group, with a warm freehouse atmosphere and a genuine welcome for dogs.

Open Monday to Thursday from 2pm and from lunchtime at weekends, The Whalebone is a handy north-Norwich option when you need a proper pub that fits around dog plans. There's no on-site parking, but the location makes it a useful break point if you're exploring the area on foot.
