Bowgie Inn Launches Exciting New Membership Scheme for Loyal Customers

The iconic clifftop pub introduces a rewarding way for guests to earn points, enjoy exclusive perks, and stay connected through the Bowgie Inn App.

Bowgie Inn, one of Cornwall’s most iconic clifftop pubs, has launched its brand-new Membership Scheme, designed to reward loyal customers while enhancing their experience at the beloved venue.

For over 50 years, Bowgie Inn has been at the heart of the community, providing stunning coastal views, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere from Crantock, near Newquay. Now, the introduction of the Membership Scheme allows customers to enjoy even more benefits simply by visiting and dining at the pub.

Every time a customer visits Bowgie Inn and spends with them, they will earn points. For every £1 spent, members will receive 1 point. With each point worth 10p, app members can effectively enjoy a 10% discount on future purchases.

The scheme is completely free to customers, who simply need to download the Bowgie Inn App on iOS or Android, create an account, and start earning points immediately.

“Our pub has always been about bringing people together, and this Membership Scheme is our way of giving back to those who make Bowgie Inn the special place it is,” said Sally Pickles, owner of Bowgie Inn. “We want our visitors to feel part of the Bowgie family, and this scheme is just another way we can enhance their experience.”

Beyond earning rewards, the Bowgie Inn App serves as a one-stop hub for everything happening at the pub. Members will receive real-time updates on special deals, seasonal menu changes, and be the first to know about upcoming events.

In 2025, exciting plans are in store, from special promotions to exclusive member-only offers such as double points days and early event access.

“For over 50 years, Bowgie Inn has been a home away from home for locals and visitors alike. Whether it’s catching up with friends over a pint, enjoying a hearty meal after a coastal walk, or simply soaking in the Cornish sunsets, our pub is a place where memories are made. Now, with our Membership Scheme, we’re making those moments even more rewarding!” added Ms Pickles.
