The Blue Bowl

The Blue Bowl is a public house in Hanham, South Gloucestershire, situated on Hanham High Street. It is thought to be one of the oldest pubs in the UK. There are no official records as to the age, but Roman coins have been found in the area, and St Lyte wrote that it was an old established hostelry in 1480. It is thought to date back to the 14th century. The name of the pub was changed to 'The Meal House' in the late 20th century, but after public outrage it was reverted to 'The Blue Bowl'

It is currently owned by Sizzling Pubs.
