About The Bow
In the heart of Waddesdon, The Bow has been reborn as a lively, welcoming pub, offering a fresh take on the classic village experience. More than just a place to eat and drink, The Bow is a true celebration of community spirit, top-tier quality, and locally sourced produce.
Known as The Bell in the 19th century, and after that The Long Dog, the pub has been renamed The Bow in tribute to its older sister establishment in the village, the Five Arrows Hotel. The Grade II listed building first opened as a public house in 1863. Before that, it housed the bell room for the adjacent 800-year-old St Michael’s and All Angels church.
Expect dishes that burst with flavour, including signature smashed burgers, delicious modern pub classics and wonderful desserts, such as a brioche sticky toffee pudding. The kid’s menu features fun and nutritious options and favourites like homemade jellies and ice cream. Families are warmly welcomed at The Bow. It’s also a perfect spot from which to explore the beauties and landscape of Waddesdon Manor and its Estate, just across the road.
The Bow is here for you from breakfast through dinner. Start your morning with freshly baked bread, pastries, and local jams, paired with artisan coffees, teas and locally sourced juices and smoothies. There’s a range of delicious lunch options and for those seeking something stronger, an adventurous selection of beers and ales offers something for every taste, from traditional favourites to new flavours. There is a bold wine list catering for all palates – including a range of Rothschild wines – from the old to the new worlds.
The Bow carries forward the tradition of excellence established by its sister establishment, The Five Arrows, which is just a short stroll away. Both venues are committed to exceptional quality and service, ensuring that every visit leaves a lasting impression.
