Welcome to The Punchbowl Inn, Bridgnorth, Shropshire.

Now under the ownership of The Bridgnorth Pub Company

A new chapter begins for one of Bridgnorth’s most historic inns. With origins dating back over 700 years and its first license granted in 1740, The Punchbowl Inn has long been a cornerstone of the local community. Now proudly owned and operated by The Bridgnorth Pub Company, we’re bringing the pub back to its roots — celebrating real hospitality, traditional values, and a warm, local welcome.

While honouring the charm and legacy that locals and visitors have loved for generations, we’ve introduced a fresh energy under new management. Some familiar faces remain behind the bar and in the kitchen, joined by new team members who share our passion for great food, proper beer, and genuine service.

We are also proud to be an award-winning wedding venue, set against the stunning backdrop of the Shropshire countryside, with dual ornamental lakes and a fully licensed outdoor gazebo for civil ceremonies. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a large gathering of up to 150 guests, our dedicated events team is here to make your day unforgettable.

Whether you’re calling in for a pint, a hearty carvery, a family gathering, or a countryside escape in one of our premium accommodation suites, The Punchbowl Inn offers timeless charm, modern comfort, and a heartfelt welcome.

Come and see what’s new — and what we’ve proudly brought back.

EAT

From pub classics to modern favourites, we serve honest, generous plates with flavour and quality at the core.
