Robert Raikes Inn Pub - Gloucester

Some wonderful interesting choice of Ales, Portes etc. Food is lovely and a very good menu. The Hunters Chicken is massive and very tasty. Great outside area and cosy secluded sections to sit inside. Very cosmopolitan and homely feel.

The pub is located in a beautiful historical building with a standard menu of good quality food. Dogs are allowed inside as long as they are well-behaved and on a leash. The bar staff informed us that the building was abandoned until 2006, when a £4.5 million renovation began. The renovation is still ongoing, but you wouldn't know it from the busy atmosphere in the many small rooms that resemble a luxurious hotel.

My wife and I were looking for an early evening meal prior to attending a talk at nearby Blackfriars and walking along Southgate we very quickly spotted Robert Raikes House. Interestingly a man sitting outside enjoying a beer said how good the meals were and so we went in and browsed the menu. We stopped the prices were pretty good, the choice of meals amazing and so we embarked upon a really nice supper. Service was friendly, efficient, quick the food was hand cooked and generously portioned. (My ham, egg, peas and fries might sound boringly standard but it tasted delicious and yes, it proved why it is one of my favourites when out! So I thoroughly recommend the pub for a meal and given its central location, this venue can be a focus for any visitor to the city. Malcolm

This restaurant is a fantastic spot to grab a drink, it exudes a charming old-world atmosphere. The owner was extremely welcoming and had a wide selection of unique beers, the organic wheat beer was particularly impressive. We ended up visiting twice over the weekend, and highly recommend it.

My friend and I went on a day trip from Bath to Gloucester and were surprised by the state of the city. However, we had lunch at this place and were very pleased. The building was beautiful with old beams from ships in the 1500s. We had a typical pub lunch (Scampi and chips) which was fantastic and affordable. The Landlord was very friendly and the bathrooms were extremely clean.
