The Bower Inn

The Bower Inn is a charming 18th-century pub, restaurant and hotel on the edge of the Somerset Levels near Bridgwater, offering a warm and characterful setting for weddings and celebrations.

At the heart of its wedding offering is the beautiful new Garden Room, a flexible event space that can host up to 50 guests seated or 90 standing. Designed to work beautifully in every season, it features a retractable roof and sides, creating the perfect all-weather setting for everything from wedding breakfasts and evening receptions to drinks, dining and relaxed celebrations with family and friends. Filled with natural light and connected to the garden, it brings together the best of indoor comfort and outdoor atmosphere.

The Garden Room can be booked as its own standalone space or as part of an exclusive venue hire, giving couples the option to include both the main pub and the Garden Room for a more private and extended celebration. Alongside this, The Bower’s rustic interiors, exposed brick walls, wood flooring and welcoming dining spaces create a setting that feels full of charm, warmth and personality.

Outside, the front beer garden surrounded by wildflowers offers even more space for guests to gather and enjoy the surroundings, while inside, the food and drink experience is rooted in quality and seasonality. The chefs work closely with local producers and suppliers to create seasonal dishes, exciting takes on pub classics and Bridgwater’s best Sunday roasts.

Set across an 18th-century cottage and gardens, The Bower is located just 1.6 miles from Bridgwater National Rail station, 2.1 miles from Bridgwater town centre and 3.3 miles from the M5, making it both picturesque and easy for guests to reach.
