The last pub before Spurn, standing on Kilnsea Road looking straight out over the mouth of the Humber, and a three-roomed place of bar, saloon and dining room. The large garden is a known birders’ site with waders, shipping and some of the best sunsets on this coast in front of it, and Great Newsome and Timothy Taylor beers turn up alongside the regular Tetley Bitter. Food is served Tuesday to Sunday with hot pies on Mondays, the kitchen closes on Mondays in winter, and entry is level with a shallow gradient though the toilets are not accessible. Motorhomes may stop over by arrangement if you are using the pub. Dogs are welcome, on CAMRA branch evidence from a survey dated 17 February 2024 rather than the pub’s own words.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The fire, the snug, the water bowl by the door.
A few dishes and what they cost, so people arrive knowing.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
Which rooms, which times, whether the whippet gets a biscuit.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
From the Kilnsea Wetlands car park on Easington Road this loop takes you out over the sea bank to Beacon Ponds and the shingle spit at Beacon Lagoons, then south along the bank towards the neck of Spurn before turning back inland. It is the little tern colony that makes it: the birds nest on open shingle from about May into July, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust fences and signs the nesting ground, and the Trust asks that dogs are kept on leads because ground-nesting birds read a loose dog as a predator and will abandon eggs and chicks. Kilnsea Wetlands, which you pass on the way out, requires leads outright. Underfoot it is grass, bank top and loose shingle, dead flat, with no shade and nothing to break the wind off the North Sea. Sheep graze parts of the bank, so keep the lead on past stock.
Crown & Anchor is a pub in Kilnsea, Kilnsea. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
The North Sea shore at Kilnsea, running north from the neck of Spurn past Beacon Ponds towards Easington, is shingle over sand backed by a low sea bank rather than a proper cliff, and no council dog order touches it. The East Riding of Yorkshire Council Public Spaces Protection Order lists Bridlington North, Bridlington South, Hornsea and Withernsea and nothing else, so there is no seasonal exclusion here at any time of year. The catch is not a council order but the birds: the shingle at Beacon Lagoons holds nesting little terns and ringed plover through the spring and early summer, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust signs mark where a lead is needed, and the reserve itself asks for dogs on leads. Park at the Kilnsea Wetlands car park on Easington Road and walk out over the bank. There is nothing here at all, which is the point.
Nobody has written one for The Crown and Anchor. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
