New Year's Day Jam Night

According to statistics, January is the most depressive month of the year. 

As the last streamers and party poppers of 2014 are pulled, as the tears fill your eyes as you stand on the bathroom scales, as you break at least one of your New Year’s Resolutions by lunch time remember that The Bowgie still loves you! 

We don’t care how many pounds you put on over christmas because we think you look fabulous.

Resolutions smesolutions we say because all we want for 2015 is for you to be happy! We promise to fill your January with great food (salads too!), great drink, great times and great music because At the Bowgie Inn, Crantock we are doing all we can to turn January frowns upside down starting today with New Year’s Day Jam Night from 7pm - 10pm!

Come along and jam with us and dance off those extra calories.

Swinging New Year's Eve

On the 31st December, join us for a seriously groovy New Years Eve Party with live music from Not the Beatles! 

Get in the swing of things  (the sixties swing of course) and come on down to The Bowgie Inn, Crantock as we say ‘Hello Goodbye’ to the new year and the old one.

Not The Beatles will be belting out all the Beatles classics and you’ll be twisting and shouting to your hearts content in no time.

60s fancy dress is optional but we encourage you to channel your inner Sgt Pepper, Twiggy or Mary Quant as it’s always better that way! A bit of psychedelic printed nylon, a dash of flower power and a wig seems to get everyone in the party spirit… and as it’s the last party of 2014, you might as well give it 100%  ‘and let it be’

‘Money can’t buy me love’ but it can buy entry after 10pm for £10; all of which goes to Cornwall Hospice Care.

It’s free before 10, but to guarantee entry and a glass of bubbly at midnight, Hop on over to our facebook page to join our VIP Guestlist. Far out man!

So ‘Come Together’ and start planning your 60s outfit for the Bowgie’s New Year’s Party 2014 - it’s gonna be a ‘Hard Days Night’.

‘Help’ we just can’t stop dropping Beatles song titles…

What a Year!

During those seven days between Christmas and New Year everyone starts to feel a little nostalgic and at The Bowgie Inn, Crantock, we’re no exception.

As we eat the last of the Christmas chocolates from the tin we feel all warm and fuzzy as we remember the good times from the year just gone.

We’ve pulled pints through heat waves, down pours and gales. We’ve dished up dinners through the world cup, the rugby, the tennis and the grand prix.

We’ve watched the poppies on the headland and the longboard championship in the bay. 

We’ve raised money for Cornwall Hospice Care, Macmillan and K9 Crusaders to mention a few.

There have been so many laughs at our special nights - from our recent James Bond Night to our Friday Night Revisited.

Yep, 2014 has been one brilliant year alright - and there’s even been appearances from a lightning jet, a bale push and even one of the worlds largest mountains, kilimanjaro.

Top it all off with more live music than you can shake a stick at and you’ll have to agree that this year will take some beating.

So as the last few hours tick by and the sun sets on the last day of 2014 we’d like to wish all of you a very Happy New Year and we are looking forward to seeing you in 2015!

Boxing Day Jam

As it's Christmas Eve, you have probably noticed that Christmas Day this year falls on a Thursday and we’re only opening 12-2pm.

We know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking ‘WHAT!!! THAT MEANS NO JAM NIGHT!’

Before you rush on mass to the Houses of Parliament waiving placards, petitions and pitchforks demanding they change the date of christmas so it doesn’t clash with The Melting Pot Jam Night at The Bowgie Inn, Crantock, just wait a moment.

We have already thought things through. 

We’ve moved Jam Night to Boxing Day instead.

Did you really think we’d let something like Christmas get in the way of our much loved Jam session?

Plus we think it will be even better on Boxing Day anyway. It means you can all turn up wearing your new Christmas socks and pants and if you were lucky enough to get a new guitar you can bring it along and try it out!

So join us for The Boxing Day Jam Night from 7 - 10 at The Bowgie, it’s going to be a good one!

How to Survive Christmas Day

Let us set the scene. It’s mid-morning on Christmas day.

If you have kids you’ve been up since the crack of dawn watching them opening presents and feigning surprise when they shriek at what’s inside. This is not an easy facade to maintain whilst eating cornflakes with the pungent aroma of boiling sprouts wafting up your nose. The noise is slowly pushing you closer to the edge and you know you have to endure a whole day of this… with the added challenge of coping with your in-laws.

If you don’t have kids you haven’t been up long. You are nursing a hangover and sitting on the sofa watching The Only Fools and Horses christmas special; not because you want to watch it, but because you can’t reach the remote control.You have the sticky mess of a half chewed coffee cream (does anyone like the coffee ones?!?) stuck on your cheek and you are feeling far from festive.  You know that within the next hour or so you have to get dressed and go to your brother in-laws for christmas dinner. You will have to endure the incessant noise of children whose names you can’t remember and eat the poor excuse for a christmas dinner you will inevitably be served. 

Sound familiar? If your Christmas is lacking a bit of cheer come to the Bowgie Inn Crantock from 12 - 2 on Christmas day where we’ll be pulling pints of the stuff!

So before the family arrive or before you knock the door of your host, plan a little detour to the Bowgie to enjoy a drink, a chat and a laugh with us before the mayhem they call ‘christmas’ continues.

Pull at the Bowgie

If you’re planning to come to the Bowgie to pull, you might be in luck.

We’re not talking about stealing a cheeky kiss under the mistletoe with a new acquaintance (although that might happen) we’re talking about the Bowgie Christmas Crackers!

Each Sunday during Advent we’ve been giving away a little treat with every turkey or veggie roast and this Sunday is no exception. 

This is an extra special cracker because it’s the last one and if you know us at all, you know that we like to make the fun last as long as possible. That's why we thought that a free £5 voucher that can be used between 5-9pm during January was the perfect treat for everyone who has a turkey or veggie roast this Sunday the 21st of December.

The free christmas pud went down a nicely, as did the free cider and mulled wine and we knew that something that would make the christmas spirit last well into the new year would give you all something to smile about!

So don’t miss your chance to pull the final Bowgie Christmas Cracker of 2014! Come along, order a roast and get your £5 voucher for January 2015... cracking!

Festive Opening Times

The best thing about Christmas is the presents. The second best thing is all the time off you get! So to help you plan how to best use your time away from work we thought we'd share our opening times with you. We know there are lots of family visits to squeeze in - for some reason you have to see people that you hardly know this time of year and the odd trip to a remote relative is compulsory. However the rest of the time is yours. Totally yours. So spend it doing something you'll enjoy and come to The Bowgie!

Join us to compare stories of christmas dinner disasters; show off your new christmas clothes and pose at the bar; avoid another turkey sandwich and bring the family for a bite to eat or get your mates together to see in 2015 in style.
