The Rowbarge

The Rowbarge A truly characterful English pub serving fresh food, cask ales and, an extensive gin and wine list.
(1980)

The Rowbarge, has been serving the needs of travellers and locals alike for hundreds of years, but we re-opened the doors after a comprehensive refurbishment in 2012. The pub has been through a number of incarnations over the last 25 years, but it feels now like it has come back to its roots as a truly characterful traditional pub. There are six different rooms with nooks and crannies aplenty, six

different cask ales on tap, a decent wine list and a shelf crammed with malts. And most important of all, you’ll find a warm welcome from a friendly crew who’ll enjoy looking after you.

The Great Thatcham Duck Race returns to The Rowbarge on Sunday 6th September.

Organised by Thatcham Rotary Club, this much-loved annual event raises money for local charities and is always a fantastic day out.

This year, the race will be supporting Swings and Smiles, a Thatcham-based charity that provides support for siblings growing up with a brother or sister who has disabilities or additional needs.

Duck race tickets will be available to buy on the day or in advance from the Rotary Club's online shop. There's no need to book to come along - simply turn up and enjoy the day.

We'll be serving drinks and hot rolls from 10am, with our Daily Menu available from 12 noon, so why not make a day of it and help support a wonderful local cause?

There will be an array of pottery glazes, as well as an assortment of tools to aid your design. Once completed your pottery it will head back to their studio in Thatcham to be glazed and fired in the Kiln. It will be available for collection 1 week later.

Tickets are £20 per person and this will go towards your pottery selection. Please note, there will be some items that are more than £20 and the difference can be paid on the night
