The Winking Prawn

The Winking Prawn is a seafood-focused bar and restaurant in Salcombe where dogs are welcome inside for drinks and meals. It sits near North Sands, making it a useful stop after a beach walk when everyone needs to settle in together. The restaurant serves supper menus indoors, so you can book a proper table rather than hovering outside with a damp dog.

The venue brands itself as family and dog friendly and the relaxed tone suits post-walk groups who want food without fuss. Opening hours run from 10am to 8pm Monday to Thursday and 9:30am to 8pm Friday to Sunday, giving you a decent window for lunch or an early evening meal.

It's a practical North Sands option when the forecast turns or you've timed your walk badly. Dogs can join you inside for the full sit-down experience and the whole group stays dry.
