A friendly, traditional, Cotswold-stone pub at the eastern edge of Stroud on the A419 London Road. It is close to the Bowbridge Lock on the Thames and Severn Canal, currently being restored, and a 15-minute walk by road or along the canal towpath from the town centre and the railway station.
Re-opened in November 2016 by Harry Counsell as a sister pub to The Clothiers Arms on Rodborough Hill, which he had successfully run for the 16 previous years.
A comfortable modernised interior with sofas for lounging and tables for dining is dominated by a stonking Clearview stove. It is family and dog friendly.
The bar opens onto a large, south-facing, suntrap outdoor seating area, including a purpose-built children’s play area, with views across the valley to Rodborough Common.
Good value home-cooked food from a simple menu, including typical pub grub, lasagne, faggots, gammon steak, home-made burgers and steaks. Pizzas are a speciality.
This Pub serves 2 changing beers and 1 regular beer.
Bowbridge Arms, Stroud
