This is a proper local pub right in the centre of Gloucester where you can stop for a genuine taste of everyday life in this historic city.
You'll find a solid range of ales alongside other drinks, and the kitchen does straightforward, satisfying pub food that hits the spot after a day out. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, which is exactly what makes it work as a stopping point whether you're visiting for an hour or longer.
Gloucester itself is a compelling base for exploring the region. The cathedral is within easy walking distance, as are the historic docks that once made this an important trading centre. There's genuine Roman heritage here too, layered into the streets and buildings around you. All of this makes this pub particularly useful as a rest stop while you're taking in the city itself, or as a convenient place to refuel before heading out to explore the smaller, more traditional villages scattered throughout the Cotswolds. It's the kind of pub that locals actually use, which tends to be the best recommendation you can get.
