Harbourside Palmers pub on George Street, a few yards from the fishing boats and the fish stalls. The brewery lists it as dog friendly with a beer garden, sea views and accommodation. Handy for the harbour, where dogs are allowed on a lead through the summer even when the beaches close.
Wood-fired pizza and seafood in the old watch house on West Bay's harbour arm, with tables looking out at the boats. Dogs are welcome and the kitchen bakes its own dog biscuits in the micro bakery next door. Busy in season, so expect to queue.
Nobody has written one for Bridport Arms Hotel. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
