The Bridge on Wool was originally a coaching hotel in the early 1900’s named the Cornish Arms, re-named in the 1950’s it supposedly takes it name from the fact that the old bridge into the town was built on bales of wool due to the shifting sands of the tidal river, a more likely version is that the money for the bridge came from the sheep farming community who were responsible for the early prosperity of the town.

The Bridge On’  as it is known locally offers food all day from 9am, and has a good reputation for its Full English Breakfast, as well as its good value, home cooked and locally sourced menu with specials. Complimented by a wide range of wines, spirits, lagers and cask ales. featuring Sharp's Doom Bar and Skinner's Betty Stoggs. Children are catered for and we welcome well behaved dogs

Sky sports and ESPN offer sports fans the opportunity to view all the sporting action and dual boxes and screens mean that that two different channels can be viewed at the same time (Great when the football and rugby clash!)

Through the pub there is a lovely sheltered garden and during the summer we regularly BBQ and have the sport on the outside TV

The pub offers 3 exceptionally well appointed en-suite rooms on the top floor of the building and can cater for families and small parties of golfers

The Area
Wadebridge has a lot to offer as a town, there are plenty of small, independent shops that make for a great shopping experience.

The pub is in a town centre position and the town itself is on the camel trail, which stretches from Padstow to Pooley’s bridge near St. Breward (via Bodmin) a distance of 17.5miles in total.

Wadebridge is home to the 'Wadebridge Folk Festival' held every year over August bank holiday weekend, featuring many folk acts plus street entertainment including morris and clog dancing, singers and many different sorts of music. Many of the pubs are 'free' venues for this event and the singing and merry making generally continues in to the early hours all over the town!

Only fifteen minutes from the coast the beautiful beaches of North Cornwall are easily accessible, as are 20 plus firstclass golf courses including the famed St. Enodoc at whose little church the poet laureate Sir John Betjeman is laid to rest.
