We have an exciting range of real ales, ciders and premium lagers. Our food is good, honest and freshly made, served daily in the bar area. It is small and traditional, family and dog friendly, with a games room off the bar area, and a separate VIP room for private meetings or watching sports on the TV.
We have a seasonal specials board and guest ales, and also live music, so keep updated via Facebook to hear all about it. The menu will whet your appetite with homemade pizzas, homemade burgers, ciabatta melts, local steaks and other exciting starters and mains to choose from. We also do delicious roast lunches on Sundays, with a smaller version of the menu to choose from as well, available 11-4pm.

Services
Situated in the beautiful Bowbridge area of Stroud, just up from the canal, we are an ideal place to pop in for a coffee, pint or meal after a long day at work or a local walk. You can't miss us from the main London Road, and we have convenient parking to the rear. It's only a 5-10 minute walk from the town centre, and it's a nice place to stop before exploring the canal lock down the hill from us.
Our VIP room is a cosy room for up to 8 people that you can book in advance, separate from the bar, with its own TV and fire. For 10 an hour you can have waitress service (with a bell to ring) so you can relax on the sofas with your drinks and watch the sports or have a private conversation with your friends.
The Bowbridge Arms is run by Harry and his very experienced team, and you can expect a warm and professional welcome. While we are closed please keep following us on Facebook and Instagram and look out for further posts. We will be back and we look forward to seeing you all again very soon, but in the meantime feel free to send us an email.

I wanted to book somewhere to have Sunday lunch after running the Stroud half marathon. The first pub I phoned was all booked up but they suggested the Bowbridge and I am really pleased that they did. I had the nut roast which was delicious. My friends had roast beef, and they had very generous slices. It came with lots of different vegetables including cheesy leeks which were lovely. There were two different kinds of potato and excellent Yorkshire pudding. We were quite full after all that but as we had just run a half marathon we decided we deserved pudding so I had fruit crumble with custard

Popped in looking for a lite bite and a drink whilst we had our car in nearby for a valet. And not disappointed, nice decor and very helpfull and friendly staff. We went for large chips and cheesey chips with garlic and cheese ciabbatta, and wow the chips where amazing, so soft with a lovely crisp outer and plenty of them.Also the ciabbatta was so good as well, I know we only went for simple food but so many places can't even get this right lol. By the way the other food we viewed being served looked very good as well. We will be visiting again when possible. So top marks for the lovely staff and

Went to the bowbridge arms for dinner today, with my husband and my dog. I have got to say how amazing the food, staff and setting is. Suzie The manager was out standing along with the other staff and my dogs… loved his roast and pudding tailored and personalised to him. I highly recommend. Never felt so welcome in any pub before. Definitely go back for food and drink again 🥰🥰 thank you xx
