Best Dog Friendly Pubs Camber Sands: The Owl & The Gallivant
The Owl — a classic Camber pub
Address: 11 Old Lydd Road, Camber, Rye, East Sussex, TN31 7RE
Phone: 01797 225284
Website: theowlcamber.co.uk
- Dog‑friendly feel: a proper pub with space for snoozy pups under the table; water bowls at the ready; the team are used to sandy paws.
- Why we like it: relaxed, unpretentious and seconds from the beach — perfect for a brisk dune walk before or after.
- Local tip: sunny weekends get lively; if your dog prefers calm corners, pop in earlier or later and ask for a quieter table by the fire in cooler months.
The Gallivant — stylish coastal bar & sitting room
Address: New Lydd Road, Camber, East Sussex, TN31 7RB
Phone: 01797 225057
Website: thegallivant.co.uk
- Dog policy: dogs are welcome in the Bar and Sitting Room (not in the Snug or main Dining Room). Keep pups on a lead and off furniture.
- Why we like it: breezy coastal vibe, thoughtful drinks list (English fizz is a favourite) and comfy spots to unwind after a dune loop.
- Local tip: the dune path opposite is a lovely sandy saunter — pack a small towel for paws and you’re golden.
Pair your pint with a favourite walk 🌊
- Camber Sands shoreline: from The Owl, nip over the dunes and amble the tideline — gulls wheeling, soft sand between your toes, salty air drifting in.
- Dune loop from The Gallivant: a gentle circuit over the marram grass, then back for a glass by the bar.
