The Bowl Inn, Almondsbury, operated by Butcombe Pubs & Inns (part of Liberation Group) has reopened following an extensive refurbishment inside and out.
With a history dating back to the 12th Century, the popular pub in the picturesque village has been given a complete makeover. Wood panelled walls in hues of blues and greys complement the original stone walls with statement wallpaper, glass light fittings and botanical art work completing the modern country look.
There’s a bespoke timber-built back bar and new parquet and tiled floor throughout the bar and restaurant area which features beautifully upholstered banquette seating and classic wooden furniture, creating a variety of cosy and elegant drinking and dining areas to choose from.
The 12 beautifully designed bedrooms have everything you would expect for a great night’s stay, each with its own distinct style and personality – super comfy beds, classic styling, high end bathrooms with Bramley toiletries and other luxurious touches.
Andy Clarke, Operations Manager, Butcombe Pubs & Inns says: “The pub looks amazing. We’re incredibly proud of the new look and we can’t wait to show it off to locals and visitors. Despite the big changes the integrity of this beautiful building remains intact, as does our award-winning food and drink offering.”
The menu focuses on locally sourced produce, seasonal ingredients and elevated hearty pub classics. The menus and daily specials also feature Butcombe ales where possible – such as Butcombe Gold beer-battered fish and chips. And on Sundays it’s all about the best roast in the area. Behind the bar is a great selection of wine and cocktails, alongside a wide range of craft beer, real ale and cider from Butcombe’s award-winning brewery a few miles away.
The Bowl Inn is dog-friendly, family-friendly and happy to cater for both large and small groups. The pub is just minutes from Junction 15 and 16 of the M5 and Junction 20 of the M4. Nearby is the city of Bristol, The Wave surfing lagoon, Wild Place conservation park and The Mall at Cribbs Causeway.
