This charming 17th-century pub and restaurant is located at Bow Bridge on the Harbourne River, which flows into the River Dart through Bow Creek. Owned by Palmers Brewery, it sells three of their real ales and all the restaurants food is locally sourced. The building has seen many uses over the years including a prison, a press gang house and a petrol station. Fortunately, the pumps now deliver only beer!
