The Wighton

The Wighton is a gastropub in central Torquay serving cask ales, cocktails and British pub classics. Dogs are welcome inside the bar and in the beer garden, so you can settle in without leaving your pup at home. The cosy surroundings make for a proper stop-off if you're visiting the town and need somewhere dog-friendly to eat and drink.

The venue sits 1.9 miles from Torquay centre and has a car park, useful if you're heading through the area. It's the kind of place where muddy paws and boots are a given—the team clearly get that dog days mean real life. Torquay visitors with dogs often need a reliable pub stop and The Wighton ticks that box.

You can settle your dog, tackle hunger and thirst and keep the day going without the stress of splitting your group. That's the real value here.
