The Bower House Restaurant with rooms offers a uniquely charming backdrop for those looking for a special, stylish place to host their private event. Located in the heart of Shipston-on-Stour, on the edge of the Cotswolds and just fifteen minutes from Stratford-upon-Avon, this independent restaurant has earned acclaim not only for its exceptional food, but also for its characterful interiors and warm hospitality.
Housed in a beautiful Georgian building, The Bower House is made up of a series of original, interconnecting rooms that can be booked individually for more intimate gatherings or opened up to create one flowing, atmospheric space for larger events. Whether you're planning a wedding breakfast, birthday dinner, corporate reception or celebratory lunch, the restaurant can host from 8 to 70 guests seated, or up to 100 standing.
The versatility of the space is matched by a refined events menu that reflects the restaurant’s focus on quality, provenance and creativity. Expect thoughtful dishes like cured chalk stream trout with horseradish and oyster, or grass-fed beef fillet with hen of the wood and black garlic. Vegetarians and vegans are just as well catered for, with plates such as barbecued celeriac with kale and truffle-rich Jerusalem artichoke risotto.
Finish with indulgent puddings like chocolate delice with salted caramel or Warwickshire honey soft serve with brown butter madeleine — all served with the same attention to detail that earned The Bower House a place in Condé Nast Traveller’s list of the best restaurants with rooms in Britain.
The team here are experienced in hosting everything from drinks parties to charity dinners, and are happy to tailor the space and menu to suit your event. And for those wishing to make a night of it, the five on-site bedrooms offer the perfect place to stay after a celebration. Stylish, flexible and full of character, The Bower House is a delightful choice for private dining in the Cotswolds.
