Brendon Arms
About
The Brendon Arms has been a beloved free house in the heart of Bude since 1872, offering a warm, inviting atmosphere and a reputation for the "Warmest Welcome in the West." Overlooking the town’s inner harbour and just 200 yards from the unique sea‑lock, the pub provides a classic British pub experience with a modern twist. Guests can enjoy traditional pub fare—homemade dishes crafted from local, seasonal produce—as well as an impressive selection of vegetarian, vegan and gluten‑free options. The bar boasts a range of excellent real ales from Cornish and national brewers, served from two beer pumps. Outside, a spacious garden overlooks the harbour, making it a favourite spot for both locals and visitors to relax with a drink in the sunshine. Whether you’re looking for a hearty meal, a friendly pint, or a cozy overnight stay in one of the ten en‑suite bedrooms, the Brendon Arms offers an authentic, welcoming experience that captures the charm of Bude.
