The Bush Inn at Morwenstow is a 13th century free house in a stunning location just off the south west coast path between Bude and Hartland, on one of the most dramatic stretches of the north Cornish coast.

Once a haunt for smugglers and wreckers; our historic Inn has provided sustenance for weary travellers for hundreds of years.

We serve Cornish real ales and a variety of fine wines to accompany a delicious selection of hearty flavoursome meals, freshly prepared to order by our chef who devises menus according to seasonal availability.

We are passionate about using the freshest local produce including beef from our own farm here in Morwenstow, and lamb, pork, salad and vegetables from neighbouring and nearby farms. Local shoots provide us with all the pheasant, venison and other game we require and our fishmonger supplies us with seafood caught in these waters.

In winter the emphasis is on a cosy country pub atmosphere with log fires and robust warming dishes, such as red wine and blue cheese risotto, venison stew, a well hung steak or old Cornish sausage and mash with plenty of onion gravy!

In summer however one can enjoy a plate of mussels or freshly caught local fish and chips and a cold beer in our large garden over looking the beautiful Tidna Valley and the Atlantic Ocean whilst the children amuse themselves on the sturdy wooden play equipment. The views are truly breathtaking and the sunsets are spectacular!

We are open all day every day and serve food from 11am - 9.30pm.

From 11am until 6pm we serve coffee and light bites such as home made soup, baguettes, hummous with olives and homemade flatbread, traditional ploughmans’ lunches, cream teas and more.

A substantial lunch menu is available between 12 noon and 3pm, with a more formal dinner menu from 6pm to 9.30pm.

Children are welcome, with small portions of most of our main dishes being available.

A traditional roast is served every Sunday between 12noon and 3.30pm (so those of us who like a lie-in do not miss out) and interesting vegetarian options are always available.

It is advisable to reserve a table when possible.

Find us by turning off the A39 (signposted Morwenstow 3) approx. three miles north of Kilkhampton, follow the road a couple of miles, taking the second right hand turn in the village of Shop. Continue along this road for 1½ miles until you reach Crosstown. The Bush Inn is on the left, on the far side of the village green.

We look forward to seeing you!
