The Wyke Smugglers

The Wyke Smugglers is a traditional pub in Wyke Regis, Weymouth, with open fires, a warm welcome, and dogs welcome inside. It's the sort of all-purpose local that covers food, live sport, quizzes, bingo, karaoke, and themed nights without breaking stride, clearly aiming to be everyone's local whether you're a regular or just passing through.

HD screens show live sport, and food is served seven days a week, so there's usually something happening. The atmosphere is friendly and busy, built for casual meals as much as louder evenings when the whole pub seems to be in on it. There's a car park on site, though it's on the smaller side, with street parking available outside.

With dogs allowed inside, nobody needs to do the pavement shuffle, though it's best suited to paws who can handle food, sport, and pub chatter without needing too much management.
