The Rowbarge

The Rowbarge A truly characterful English pub serving fresh food, cask ales and, an extensive gin and wine list.
(1986)

The Rowbarge, has been serving the needs of travellers and locals alike for hundreds of years, but we re-opened the doors after a comprehensive refurbishment in 2012. The pub has been through a number of incarnations over the last 25 years, but it feels now like it has come back to its roots as a truly characterful traditional pub. There are six different rooms with nooks and crannies aplenty, six

different cask ales on tap, a decent wine list and a shelf crammed with malts. And most important of all, you’ll find a warm welcome from a friendly crew who’ll enjoy looking after you.

Father’s Day
Sunday 21st June

If you have a fantastic Father figure in your life then give them what they really want this Father’s Day, a Sunday Roast that they didn’t have to cook and a pint that they didn’t have to pay for!
We’ll be serving our usual Sunday Roasts, so you can expect all the favourites - traditional beef, pork and lamb, our ever-popular mixed roast, and a vegetarian option - each with crisp roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and plenty of rich, proper gravy.
Alongside, we’ll have a selection of our usual dishes available, so there’s something to suit every appetite. Families are very welcome, with a children’s menu offered throughout the day.
Food will be served from lunchtime through into the evening, so if earlier tables are full, you’re very welcome to join us later in the day.
We hope to see you there.
Stuck for a Father’s Day gift? Nothing says ‘Thanks Dad’ quite like a voucher to spend at his favourite pub (he might even bring you with him!). Simply head to our website and print off a customised voucher from the comfort of your own home – or you can send it along via email.
Vouchers can be used at any of our pubs nationwide, making them perfect, even if you don’t live quite as close as you’d like.

This months pub dog Walk is on Saturday 30th May for 2026 🐾

Please come dressed for the weather and arrive at the pub from 10:30am for tea, coffee and a breakfast roll, provided in exchange for a £2 donation per person to our chosen charity, Medical Detection Dogs. We’ll then head off on the walk at 11am.

The route takes us around the beautiful Woolhampton countryside and lasts approximately one hour. We’ll aim to be back at the pub just in time for lunch. If you’d like to stay for a bite to eat, be sure to book a table. Let us know if you’re bringing a dog so we can allocate you a table in the dog-friendly area.

Please book your place on the dog walk below so we can make sure there are plenty of breakfast rolls to go around. And if you can’t join us this time, you’re very welcome to try the route at your own leisure.

We look forward to seeing you and your four-legged friends!

We’ve been making improvements to the outside of our beautiful pub over the last few weeks, please can we ask a few things of our customers and passers by:
- please keep dogs on their leads and clear up any mess they make.
- keep an eye on children at all times, not only is there a risk of them falling in the very deep canal but also we would appreciate them looking after our furniture and plants and not using them as climbing frames.

We appreciate your cooperation.
