The Tipsy Farmer

The Tipsy Farmer is a welcoming pub in Wells where dogs are welcome inside. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.

Tucked into the Mendip Hills, it offers a warm, unhurried atmosphere for locals and visitors exploring the area with their four-legged companions. Opening times vary: Sunday and Saturday from noon, weekdays from 4pm, with closing times ranging from 9pm to 10pm depending on the day. Useful as a Mendip backup option when nearer spots are full, The Tipsy Farmer gives you a dog-friendly base to refuel without splitting the group.

It's a practical stop for anyone juggling leads, muddy paws and the need for a decent meal after a day on the hills. That simple inclusion is especially useful when the weather turns or the day needs a proper sit-down pause.
