As I approach the end of a glorious trip through England, there is a gem I visited called Robert Raikes's House. It is a wonderful place! Jerry and Tracy are incredible and made me feel so at home. The atmosphere is warm and so inviting. I had the best fish and chips I've ever had...and I've had my share of fish and chips! I felt at home and welcome...like I'd been visiting there all my life. Great beers, delicious food and excellent company. Give yourself a real treat and go...to Robert Raikes's House, in Gloucester UK.
This pub is a real treasure in Gloucester. The new staff are great, the prices are reasonable & there is lots of choice. The food is excellent. The building itself is worth a visit. I wish the company would give the managers more of a free reign as this pub is worth it. Highly recommend it 👍❤️❤️❤️
Great food - compliments to the chef and staff!
Went with some of my Canadian family today.
Ordered:
1 Traditional fish and chips (auntie said best fish and chips she has had from the UK).
2x Fish Burger meal (very good)
1x Bangers & Mash
1x Vegan Burger meal
Excellent pub with some very reasonable prices. Beers are kept in good condition and served by friendly staff. The historic building creates a fantastic ambience while having a pint, especially when the fires are lit.
Superb beer garden out the back too
A beautiful historic building as a pub. The food is fairly standard pub grub (good for everyone and well priced). Its dog friendly too - inside - as long as they are well behaved and on a lead.
The bar staff told us this building was derelict until 2006, when it underwent a 2 year, £4.5m renovation, which is still incomplete (but you wouldn't know it!). There are lots of small rooms furnished like a posh hotel, so even in busy times you won't feel like its busy.
Wonderful cosy pub with great staff, genteel atmosphere and the best bangers, mash and onion gravy for a long time. Parts of the bar are designated no mobiles/tablets/laptops encouraging patrons to get back into conversation mode. That said, it's a great place to slump back in the chair and devour a few chapters of your favourite novel on your Kindle over a slow beer.
Best Sunday lunch I've had for a long time. Lots of different veg, all delicious. Beautiful, atmospheric, historic building. Good value too.
Fairly quiet pub, there's a no mobile phones rule but is not strictly enforced. It's a Sam Smith's pub, so they serve their own beers
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.
Under new management from the previous owner of The Old Crown. I'm so pleased it's a Samuel Smith's Brewery chain! Food and drinks are great, and so is the service! Love it!
my family and i have traveled here all the way from Australia for our 3rd visit of the uk and Robert Raikes by far is the best pub we have stopped at on our travels. Superb food, service and atmosphere. Super friendly girls at the bar.
and the best bloody mac and cheese i’ve ever eaten. Ever.
Amazing fish and chips. Loved the decor as well. If you eat there in a non-busy time, it feels as though you're in your own palace.
Brilliant pub. Food is of excellent quality. Service is impeccable. Prices are really good, especially due to the eat out to help out scheme. Really impressed by the entire experience. The inside is beautiful. Big garden out back. Recommend for everyone. Will be returning 👍
Serves the best food in Gloucester,very welcoming & comfy.
Friendly staff.
Will definitely visit again.
(Shame about the Leeds fan serving 😛😛😛)
10/10.
Smashing pub close to the docks and in the central shopping district.
The building itself is fascinating - it's been brilliantly preserved, showcasing traditional building techniques off seen in the construction of wooden warships. There are lots of snugs (small rooms, many with their own real fire) to cosy up in.
There's a simple menu of quality pub food but the best bit: Samuel Smith's beer on tap.
Sam Smith's produce (probably) the best beer in the country. It's superb, especially their Old Brewery Pale Ale, if you can find it. It's the > F I N E S T < beer I've had the pleasure of trying.
That said, I've not tried the Yorkshire Stingo, which is legendary, so I hear!
Note to everyone reading this has been taken over by new management and is now the best place for food and drink in Gloucester
The staff are amazing the place is spotless and cozy highly recommend
This is a beautifully reconstructed building with lots of character. There are plenty of little rooms and nooks to sit in, with some working fireplaces for winter. Decent food and beer, and friendly staff. Worth a visit.
Fantastic multi roomed pub, lovely old building full of history. It's got a brilliant selection of real ales but be aware that the pub is owned by Samuel Smith's so all of the beverages on offer are from them only but there's something for everyone across the pumps - they also do a Mild which is a rocking horse poo rarity in pubs these days. This is a great place to come and relax if you're out shopping at the quays as it's not too far away and has a comfortable ambience about it.
Stopped off for a drink here. Really friendly, authetically ancient pub with a large courtyard area at the back. Made us feel very welcome
