In Food and Drink

Gloucester is renowned for its pub culture. We are lucky enough to have a multitude of pubs, both new and old. Here’s a round-up of just a few of our pubs that you can cosy up in this autumn and winter.

Café René

Situated in a medieval building, Café René has many historic features, including an authentic Roman well in the bar. In addition to this, the restaurant area used to be an old stable, and is now lined with old wine bottles, giving a unique feel to the room. Café René is a great venue for both traditional pub food and live music.

The Turks Head Inn

Gloucester’s first micropub, The Turks Head Inn can be found on Southgate Street, and serves traditional real ale and real cider.

Robert Raikes's House

Located on Southgate Street, Robert Raikes’s House is an historic 16th timber-framed townhouse, which once belonged to Robert Raikes, who is notable as a pioneer of the Sunday School movement.

The High Orchard

The High Orchard is a modern, family-friendly pub, located a stone’s throw from Gloucester Quays. The pub serves an extensive range of real ales, craft beers, wines, and soft drinks, as well as offering two-for-one all day every day on their meals.

The Fountain Inn

The Fountain Inn is a traditional pub with a good range of real ales and pub food, and is believed to be one of the oldest known sites connected with the brewing trade in Gloucester. The name of the pub dates from around 1672, and is named for Trinity Well, the water source located nearby in Westgate Street.

The Abbey offers a wide range of cask and craft beers, alongside an extensive menu, including bottomless brunch, pizzas, burgers and more.

The Dick Whittington

The pub serves an array of alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, and hot drinks, and also boasts a skittle alley, a room for darts, a pool table, and a juke box.

The New Inn

In the heart of Gloucester, the New Inn is a 15th century building which has been described as one of the finest medieval galleried inns in Britain. The inn was used by pilgrims visiting the tomb of King Edward II in what is now Gloucester Cathedral, and it is also speculated that Shakespeare may have performed there in the 16th century. Within the New Inn, the Old Tap and Barrel Bar offers a tempting range of lagers, wines and spirits from around the world.
