I had a really nice experience here. It felt different from other service stations I’ve been to before, and I liked that. The space made it feel like you could actually sit and relax for a while – especially the back area, which had an outdoor seating space with a small pond that created a really lovely atmosphere. Overall, I enjoyed it and it definitely stood out as something different. The prices were quite high. For some of the food they said was organic, I think it was worth it, but for some other items that were also pricey, they just weren’t to my taste or style of shopping.

Well, this is my new favourite service station! We visited on a weekday, which I think makes a big difference as we visited the Northbound services opposite on a weekend, and did not have a great experience - even though they are exactly the same. We were greeted by friendly staff, no queues, and ordered some lunch. The whole process was quick with no fuss, and reasonable prices for the whole meal. Delicious food, and much more preferable than the fast food available at most other service stations. Lots of seating available, it was great being able to look out at the mini nature reserve outside. A really nice break on a long drive! All tables were clean, and there was someone cleaning up regularly. Afterwards we popped to the farm shop, which yes, was quite pricey but it was nice to look around and grab some local produce for gifts and treats etc. Toilets were clean, and lots available. Only slight downside to our visit was that we both ordered iced vanilla matcha’s, which we didn’t try until we were back sitting in the car. They oddly tasted of cinnamon, and I think because it was the season of ‘pumpkin spice’ that they hadn’t cleaned out the machine or something before making our drink? By that point it was too late to go inside and mention the issue. Overall though, I would happily visit again - just on a weekday!

Used to be amazing. We always diverted to come here if we were in the area. Now it's no better than any other motorway services. Average food and coffee at inflated prices. The quick food counter and the farm shop are amazing, but the main restaurant is run by kids who are completely disinterested. Loads of tables with used plates and cups on. Products on display not refilled when all gone, staff just put my very expensive coffee (but very average) on the counter, turned around and walked away. Not even a "your latte sir" or "enjoy your coffee". Just a grunt. It feels like there is no supervision or management going on at all. Very sad as it used to be amazing.

Great services and farm shop. So many vegan options too! Sweet treats, savouries and even vegan scotch eggs 😲 Plus they have a little dog walk area away from the car park.

Gloucester Services South – A Proper Gem on the Way to Cornwall Wow — what a brilliant stop-off! Gloucester Services South isn’t your average motorway break. It’s a breath of fresh air with genuinely tasty food, spotless facilities, and friendly service that makes you feel looked after. Whether you're grabbing a bite or just stretching your legs, it’s the perfect pit stop on the way to Cornwall. Local produce, great coffee, and a calm atmosphere — you’ve got to stop off if you’re passing. Top marks.

Simply the best services in the UK and trust me when I say I've visited most of them with my national sales role. Beautifully clean, incredible food that doesn't feel rushed or massively processed. Slow food rather than fast food! Great farm shop and plenty of parking.

In my opinion this is how all service stations should look and services provided. Local produce. Stunning building, play area for kids, dog paths and lake. You definetly feel refreshed after stopping st this Service Station.

Such a lovely place to visit. A few different options for routes to follow, great picnic areas, amazing views. There is a café with Various options of drink and food. The car park is free and it is free to enter. There's is a children's play area but it is currently closed off due to needing a water pipe repair. Accessible toilets behind café after the café closes. Highly recommend.

This is a lovely park. There are so many different paths and trails. It’s huge. There are plenty of nice views of Gloucester too. There are plenty of picnic areas and a cafe too. It is quite hilly in some places. The parking is free and there are plenty of spaces. This is the perfect place for dog walkers.

There are various routes that you can take up Robinswood hill Free car park The scenery is stunning. On a sunny day you can see for miles in all directions. Picnic benches and also barbecue area Generally considered an easy route Toilets and café available Definitely worth a visit

Lovely place for a walk for a scenic walk and beautiful view from top of summit . It was a pleasure seeing Gloucester city from the top and what a lovely weather to enjoy . Kids really had a great time. No doubt reaching top is a little bit tiring but reaching at summit will make all your tiredness a blissful experience 🤗

Wow... The experience here is like no other. The walk around the hill to the summit which by the way is breathtaking is worth it. The view is best experienced in person. If you are not afraid of heights and you want to get to see the whole town then you should go to the summit. The park itself is well maintained with ample free parking spaces with beautiful spots for BBQS and family and friends hangouts. The kids are not left out with slides and swings. Well-done Gloucester county for this awesome experience PS... To access the car park and toilets ensure you come into the park from the Reservoir road

Great location by Gloucester Quays, nice coffee shop & perfect spot for a scenic walk!

Lovely walks. Always manage to find something we've not seen before even though we've been loads of times. Lovely cafe. Toilets. Not really buggy or wheelchair friendly if walking up the hill but some flatter walks round the bottom of the hill.

Edward was invited for his 10 year old friends birthday party. They had 2 x 15 sessions of driving and he loved it. They had food afterwards. He didn't like his chicken nuggets. Coffee was quite cheap. Doesn't have disabled access.

I was lucky enough to go to the preview of the mini golf that’s opening next week at JDR. It’s absolutely amazing 9 holes quite tricky courses was really nice to have a challenge but also great for families at the same time, curling, shuffleboard and even a bar!!! Completely lost track of time in there with the atmosphere and the lights can’t wait to go back with A huge group of people the proper launch is Saturday can’t wait !!!!

A hidden gem in the centre of Gloucester. People drive past everyday coming into Gloucester but not many talk about it. It’s an absolutely massive area with karting, laser tag, golf and more. There’s a little cafe serving cheap food and drink. The atmosphere and aesthetic is really cool and gets you in the mood for a race. There’s safety gear and a briefing so you know how to safely race and the track is big enough that you don’t get bored after a few laps. It can be very noisy, so if you’re someone sensitive to noise, definitely grab some earplugs. Really fun experience and will definitely come for a race again!

JDR Karting offers an exhilarating indoor go-karting experience in Gloucester. The well-designed track challenges drivers with tight corners and fast straights. Friendly staff prioritize safety without dampening the fun. While the facility boasts additional activities like axe throwing, some find the pricing steep. Despite occasional complaints about staff attitude, JDR Karting remains a popular choice for thrilling races and group events.

Went for my sons 9th birthday party, overall everyone enjoyed it, a couple got nervous but the staff were kind and understanding. The marshals on track were assertive but approachable, which is needed in this environment. Laser tag after was fun. Would highly recommend.

We visited Ocean Adventure Golf as a family and had such a great time! The indoor mini golf course was really well designed and fun for all ages and had a really fun atmosphere. Before playing, we grabbed a few drinks and snacks at the Tiki bar, which was a nice bonus – great service and a good selection. After that, we headed onto the course and had an absolute blast. It was a fantastic way to spend time together as a family. Highly recommend for families, groups of friends, or even a fun date idea. We’ll definitely be back!

What fun we had! And thank you to the staff who managed to accommodate our group though we arrived a little later than booked. You turned the Birthday Boy's tears into smiles. We will surely be back.

Barnwood Park is an interesting small green space in urban Gloucester. The park is also described as an arboretum as there are many large trees here, including oaks, coniferous giants and more. One can walk about inside the place. It is accessible to us from different ends. Unfortunately, apart from walking, there is little else one can do. No facilities, no bins, no water taps, no children’s area. I did take some photos.

A nice place for a quick ramble

Lovely little free place to take kids for a walk. Bonus round was to walk through an area with very friendly cows. Went on the hunt to find a monkey puzzle tree.

Gorgeous! We would definitely visit again. My son was particularly taken with the small bridges on the pond, the butterfly ‘wild’ areas and the (three) Dexter Cattle 🐄 😂. They seem to have a bit of a rat problem at the moment. Although , once again, my son was very happy to watch the rats dart from bush to bush from a distance.

One of my favorite places, quiet and such a fun place, grandchildren absolutely love it. Can walk run and play Superb Parking is easy What's not to love Beautifully looked after,even have sheep on occasions

Well thought area for all ages (and dogs). The old remnants of the Barnwood House estate have been transformed into a well managed public space. You can walk the entire park and arboretum in about half an hour but ignore it’s size as it’s more a place to dawdle and take in the variety of the plants and features. The beautifully carved benches are fascinating too. Try and find the piano. The ducks (actually Northern Mallards) are regular visitors to Wotton Brook that flows through here. Look out for the Coots (white beaks) and Moor Hens (red beaks) too. The recent addition of a deliberately constructed balancing pond adds to the charm of the area. That part of the park is a real sun trap with no cooling breeze. Being low ground it also requires wellies when wet. The old estate chapel, now deconsecrated, houses a gym so unfortunately the interior can’t be viewed but the outside is in good nick and quite photogenic. Parking can be a challenge as the gym members use the spaces adjacent to the park in Church Lane. There’s a lay-by area across the road next to the church with free, unrestricted parking. It gets full at school drop off and pick up times due to the nearby secondary school and of course on Sundays.

Nice family walk, play and picnic. Labeled trees to help educate children. Lovely hidden beauty in built up area. Animals to see. Have used it quite often. Friendly gym goes inside church.

The chicken pakorah starter wasn't all the that, precooked chicken tikka dipped in a doughnut like batter and fried. The garlic chilli chicken had a nice flavour

I come from Gravesend on a flying visit to collect a car. Train journey awful found this curry house and just wanted food. I come from curry city outside of Birmingham. Gloucester this is a brilliant curry end of day

The best indian food . Absolutely amazing taste, fresh and delicious . Staff is really polite and respectful

Fantastic food so well cooked, and authentic definitely going again as early as next week, Very polite Staff

I order Indian veg from Baburchi it’s really tasty and I get my order at proper time. I love there service

Best tandoori mixed grill he had in Baburchi, Other dish we order Garlic vegetable Balti was nice but not spicy enough. We recommend.

I am so upset with the quality of food they sells. It was so muaty smelly food. I took a bite and left over,now i am going back with bloating stomach. Poisnous

Congealed, overly greasy, mess crammed into a tiny box, for £3.85. Asked for lots of salt and vinegar, yet there was hardly any on them. Tasted ok once you'd ripped a chunk off the congealed lump. I won't be back in a hurry.

Food was perfect. Ordered a small cod each (which was huge!) a battered sausage each, curry sauce and shared a chips- all for £21, great value and spot on food. Will definitely go back!

Fab fish and chip shop. Really great food, beautifully clean takeaway, well-presented staff who are efficient, friendly and work as a team really well. It gets super-busy but they keep on top of the orders like a machine and service is swift. It’s impossible for me to find anything to mark them down on so 5 stars from me.

Review update 04/08/23. Today for the second time I was served the worst chips I have ever had anywhere. They were completely dry ( see the picture uploaded) and hard to chew. I asked the man while ordering if the chips were fresh and he claimed they are. Clearly they have been sat in the hot cabinet for a while and I was foolish enough to trust. This has been my favorite f & c shop for a while and I am truly disappointed. I phoned to complain and they offered to replace my portion on my next visit but my meal was completely ruined. I ate the fish and threw most of the chips away. Based on my experience I am dropping review stars I previously left for the shop. Cook to order, most of us are happy to wait because I wait for fish and I can wait couple more minutes for chips.

Great food, cooked as I like it. Reminds me of good old fish and chips the way my mum and dad run their bussiness in their fish shop in the 60s and 70s. Big up to chef. Love it 🤗👍

Great fish n chips cooked superbly and my haddock was awesome … great service and first time here today and will definitely be back , one issue please supply wooden forks to eat and not the cheap chip ones as you can not eat fish with them … so delicious ♥️👍👌in the park eating it

05/21 EDIT Kudos to the management here for moving to environmentally friendly cardboard containers. Tasty, cheap food & friendly service. Proper local chippy that's been part of the community for over 80 years. The shop's been refitted and changed at least twice in my time but the service and quality of the food have both remained fantastic. Good choice of food. Generous portions. Always hot. Never had a bad meal from here.

Popped in for a quick lunch and a pint, very friendly welcome and quick service. Lunch came and we both had ham, eggs and chips. The meal was served and the the server asked if we would like any sauces and we both said mayonnaise and he walked away and promptly forgot and there was only 2 other tables eating at that time. Oddly the plates were not equal and my partner did well with slighty more generous portions which was surprising. The food was good and I would visit again.

Sadly I've been to Fagins on many occasions and have had no complaints.. something seems to have changed this time .Prawn salad was very poor only another 12 prawns and no sauce. Made my own with mayonnaise ketchup Both the chicken BBQ was tasty. The salad with one was good with extra mushrooms The gammon was lovely but the chips for both meals were cold and very had and dry. As said before this was very disappointing after singing the praises about the place. The staff were very helpful

Me and my family have visited fagins on many occasions and have been happy with the service and food. Plenty of outdoor space for kids to have fun. Sunday roast dinner is traditional and good but get there early as it gets busy after 1pm. Staff are pleasant to deal with. Large parking erea.

Nice pub, Decent sized meals and tasted pretty decent but nothing spectacular. Staff were also very professional and kind and dealt with allergies very well. I got a side of mushrooms which I was a little disappointed with as I only got 6 small mushrooms but not too big a deal. Good if you’re looking for a decent sized meal with lovey staff.

Lovely atmosphere ☺️, tasty Sunday roast and great children playground 😁❤️‍🩹🎉😁 We will come back again definitely 💯

We booked a table for 10 people for the Sunday carvery. The food was tasty, fresh and hot. We all really enjoyed it. Service was friendly and prices were good. We had 2 vegetarians that had a very short wait for their meal. Highly recommend. Thank you

Great atmosphere lovely food.

This place is an absolute legend. they have kept there prices down and still continue to deliver amazing chicken. Been going to this place for more years than i can remember and have never been let down. Food is amazing value and they continue to keep that going. The service is top notch and very friendly staff, to the point the delivery driver seen me walking by one day and offered me a lift to my house :) Legend

One of the best halal chicken I ever had ..! Their spicy Chicken wings is a must try and also their French fries has a unique flavor (5⭐️) and a good customer service as well..

I came here for a holiday when I went to the takeaway it was amazing the food was delicious and the cashier is amazing love the hospitality would recommend this place 5star.

Best place ever never tried better than this place it’s so nice Chicken and chips wonderful

Very disappointed I got food for family and when we went to eat our chicken it was pink! All the chicken was very pink and undercooked...so had to throw away and pay to get food from somewhere else!!!

Best food in Gloucester the wings are fire and the food are cheap. I recommend coming here.

The best spicy fried chicken in Gloucester ❤️

Gloucester Quays is a fantastic place to shop, eat, and spend a day out. The range of stores is great, with brands like Next, M&S Outlet, and Adidas, plus plenty of homeware and gift shops too. One thing I really like is the flooring in the shopping center, it gives the place a stylish and modern feel. We used the parking facilities to visit Anatolian Palace, and it was a smooth experience. The car park is spacious, very safe, and has plenty of spaces. The parking prices are reasonable, which is always a plus. A great addition is the car cleaning service, really handy if you want your car looking fresh while you shop. The toilets are always clean, which is a big plus. My only suggestion would be to introduce a parking discount or even free parking when you spend a certain amount in the shopping center. For example, if you spend £200 or more, you could take your receipts to the customer service desk, and the receptionist could give you a voucher for free parking. It would be a great way to reward shoppers and encourage people to spend more time here. Overall, Gloucester Quays is a well-maintained, enjoyable place to visit, and I’d definitely recommend it.

There is something for ANYONE here from food, fun, entertainment, drinks, shopping and activities. Family or just quick drinks with your mates. I always have a great time here whether it's for work or play. Lots of parking available too. Some of the outlets aren't as cheap as they could be, but there are a lot of choices available. All by the waterfront. Watch out for the Gulls ☺️

Lots of food places, a treat market, nice shopping centre, where we can by everything . The Cathedral is beautiful, it's a shame we arrived just as it was closing and we weren't able to go in. I'll definitely be back in Gloucester. I loved it. I find all I need it. Really enjoy 😉

A good mix of shops and eateries. Seating both inside and out. Good parking outside and inside. Quays is set within Gloucester’s historic dock area. Well worth a visit

Gloucester Quays offers a great mix of outlet shopping, dining, and historic charm. The variety of stores provides good deals, and the waterfront setting adds to the experience. Restaurants and cafes are plentiful, making it a nice spot for a day out. Some areas could be better maintained, and it can get busy on weekends, but overall, it’s a pleasant and worthwhile visit.

Good for parking if you park outside opposite Dock. Expensive if you park for more than 5/6hours in centre parking! Great selection of shops few cafes etc. Outside main restaurants, bars . Market on Sunday, nice area to walk around ,sit have a coffee and watch the world go by.

Lovely atmosphere, loads of interesting and impressive places to eat, catering for all possible palates and requirements. Really interesting boat-building and docking historical stuff to see and, of course, a lovely canal through the middle of the quays which gives the place a holiday feel. Nice indoor shopping centre, too, with loads of easy, accessible parking. This was a first visit - loved it! Definitely hope to go back, perhaps in the Spring or Summer.

Excellent value but only for repeat visits. Great Café. Everything is well preserved and presented though there’s no sense of continuity or narrative to everything as a whole. I also found the layout sightly confusing and, on my first visit, didn’t realise there was an upstairs. The many exhibits keep the attention of adults whereas the hands on stuff is very much for kids. The museum is fairly small so try and visit in half term to avoid school groups. The entrance fee is expensive for a single visit but includes repeat visits for a year. If the visit is a 'one off’ then get your money’s worth by buttonholing a volunteer to explain things. They know a lot that more than is on the display cards. All the staff are a great bunch and willing to help and offer information. The café serves reasonably priced food and drinks. The tea is good and cakes taste homemade (in a good way). If it’s not too sunny or crowded, sit in the area by the big window. There’s a small car park nearby (Southgate Moorings - Gloucester Docks), just off the main road, which fills quickly every day. The Quays shopping centre (5 minutes walk away) has a large multi storey attached to it.

Fascinating, perfect for an hour or so. Some of the exhibits look a bit tired, but would be great for children. Lovely shop and café. I especially enjoyed the video stories of the men who had worked on the canals. A bit expensive for what it was.

This was first on my list when visiting Gloucester. Tickets cost £10 and you can spend about an hour here (maybe less) if you'd like to see everything. It's on 2 floors, and details the waterways if Gloucester and the history of it all. Its quite educational if you'd like to learn about ships and the river Severn. But the museum isn't that big so there isn't really a lot to see and look around. There is a café and gift shop on the ground floor. I think £5 would be a fairer price to visit, considering how short I stayed, and I usually immerse myself with all the exhibits, photos and information. I enjoyed the Gloucester museum much more, which is a free museum and has a bit more interesting artefacts and information (though you can probably see all of that in about an hour or so). I did like the outside area where you can turn a device that plays animal sounds, asking you to guess which call it is.

Great day out and good value even in this time of watching every penny. The Boat trip was wonderful and well informed regarding its history as a Little Ship at Dunkirk. Good place for children and pets. Although anyone with a wheelchair might be an issue getting on board the boat. A new exhibition of the civilian Captain of the boat has just been put on display and the family was visiting the day we attended.

I first visited soon after it first opened in 1988. I returned today. What a disappointment. Only two floors are now open to the exhibition space. Clearly the place is short of funds. I remembered the barge driving simulator and other tasty treats…. all gone. No worth the adult entrance fee of £10 when there is least one other free museum with better exhibits nearby.

Really nice area. Interesting history in the museum and the docks.

Our favorite in Gloucester! We love the presentation and knitwear everywhere! Very interesting. Great play area for the kiddos. We subcribe to the membership so we can play with the kids regularly. Lovely staff too. Oh and the shop is very cute

We moored in the area for a week or so, and used the water and elsan facilities a couple of times. Very pleasant surroundings, and lots of places to walk and things to see. Many different types of boats to see, both moored and moving. Convenient restaurants and shops, a grocery store, and a bus stop within a short walk from the free moorings. There are also cruises you can book and long-term moorings in the area. It was a nice place to spend some time.

Gloucester Docks, the most inland docks in England. The powers that be did a good 👍 job of renovating the area which now has an eclectic mixture of shops, activities, and eateries. From a branch of 'Spoons to fine dining (sorry, 'Spoons!), the area is capable of feeding the five thousand in a way that the bloke in the bible didn't. We have museums for those who feel the need to be educated. Shops are contained within covered centres thus avoiding the need for umbrellas 🌂 ☂️ when the weather can be described as inclement. There is also an occasional outdoor market which offers, amongst other things, a wide range of munchables from around the world. The old warehouses have been repurposed, one, for instance, houses a collection of purveyors of antiques. The area also is an ideal place to explore, walks along the canal banks to looking at all manner of water craft docked in the area. Well worth a visit for a grand day out.

Gloucester Docks and Quays is a lively, scenic, and family‑friendly destination for weekend shopping and strolling. With its monthly artisan market, seasonal festivals, high‑street bargains, riverside charm, eateries, and historic sites, it’s the kind of place where you can spend couple of hours happily browsing, tasting, and soaking in the atmosphere. Recommended for a fun city‑centre excursion!

I was pleasantly surprised by the rejuvenated Gloucester Docks. The whole area was clean, tidy and well maintained. There was a good selection of pubs. cafés, shops, restaurants, museums, artwork and interesting information panels providing interesting detail on the industrial legacy of the area. I visited midweek in September 2025 and the area had a positive feel to it.

Brilliant place for a visit. Something for everyone - history, eateries, plenty of shops, seating, space to relax

Nice place for a walk around. The people up top in the docks museum were very welcoming and informative.

Gloucester Docks is a vibrant and historically rich area located in the heart of Gloucester, England. Known as Britain’s most inland port, it offers a unique blend of maritime heritage, cultural attractions, shopping, and dining. 🏛️ Historical Significance The docks were formally opened in 1827 as the terminus of the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal, allowing sea-going ships to reach far inland. Early trade included corn, timber, wines, and spirits, with exports like salt from Worcestershire. The area quickly became a hub for industrial trade, with Victorian warehouses, dry docks, and timber yards built to support growing traffic1. 🧭 Things to See and Do National Waterways Museum: Located in the Llanthony Warehouse, this museum explores 200 years of canal and dock history with interactive exhibits and a wildlife trail2. Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum: Housed in a former Customs House, it showcases the military history of local regiments with engaging displays for all ages3. Tall Ships Festival: Held every other year, this event brings historic ships and nautical festivities to the docks4. Film Locations: Parts of the docks have appeared in productions like Alice Through the Looking Glass and Doctor Who3. 🛍️ Shopping and Dining Gloucester Quays Outlet: Over 50 stores offering designer goods, homeware, and fashion. Gloucester Food Dock: A hub for independent food and drink businesses. Restaurants: Options range from Greek on the Docks to British classics at Bill’s, and international cuisine like Wagamama and Côte Brasserie.

Superb regimental museum covering the long history of the Gloucester Regiments from the 1700s to today's combined Rifles Regiment. So many historic battles and distinguished engagements. Truly inspiring. Good varied displays with information boards, artifacts, medals, pictures and staged scenes. Allow a couple of hours to do it justice. Well worth a visit. 😎👍👍👍👍

Spent a good 90 minutes there today and could have spent another 90 on top, so much fascinating information and displays about all the past wars. Thoroughly enjoyed the displays very informative, gutted I had to leave to be honest. The sacrifices all those men made and it was great to see all there uniforms and medals. Thanks for a pleasant visit. David Thomas

Lovely small museum. Great way to spend an hour or so and remember all the incredible sacrifices made so that we can enjoy the freedom we all take for granted today.

Very nice museum, I really enjoyed my visit there. It has a lot of information and it's very detailed about all the battles and events. You can try real military equipment on and some uniforms. They also have a lovely gift shop. Would definitely recommend it!

Old custom's house now housing the museum of soldiers of Gloucestershire. Great insight into the history of the Gloucester regiment. With plenty of information including the Napoleon wars and of course the world war 2 with a small exhibit on operation overlord the D day landings. There is a Gift shop and cafe on site.

Loved the museum and so did the kids. Wonderfully laid out and offers something for both the adults as well as the kids. Parking nearby is possible but it's a nightmare. Entry prices are great and really reasonable with £10 for a family with 2 adults and 3 children. Lots to see and there are interactive computer screens available for the kids and the adults. There is a dress up at the end and a gift shop as well so you will have a great time exploring the interesting history of the soldiers if Gloucestershire and their noble and varied history

It's worth a visit if you're interested in the history of the Gloucestershire Regiment. The story begins in 1694, travels through the Napoleonic Wars, the Age of Empire, Worlds Wars, Korea and right up to modern day conflicts.

We had our wedding day here in August 2025 and it was perfect. Everything from viewing, booking and the way the big day was run was absolutely amazing. Matt, our wedding coordinator, was such an enormous support throughout and was so efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. What we loved about Blackfriars was that you could really make the wedding your own and any niggles we may have had about coordinating this were quickly put to rest, thanks to Matt and the team. The set up on the previous day and tidy up on the following day was helped enormously by Matt and the team. We loved having a wedding in such a historic venue which was so central in town and pictures in and around the venue were amazing. We felt so relaxed on the day, everything was in hand. We’d recommend this venue to anyone for an event or even just to visit (it’s gorgeous). The team are so welcoming and it’s a hidden gem in our beautiful city.

An amazing event space steeped in history. Well worth having a look at from the outside if you're in the area.

Myself and my husband had the most wonderful experience planning and having our wedding at Blackfriars Priory in September. The venue itself is huge, with many different rooms that can be tailored to suit every type of guest, and the space is just perfect for all of the kinds of weather that might otherwise impact wedding events. Our coordinator, Matthew, was absolutely incredible: so welcoming, friendly and informative about the historical space itself, and very quick to respond to the many questions we had throughout the process. He made sure we were up-to-date on everything we'd need to do ahead of time so that we didn't feel rushed or stressed at any point, and was wholly such a pleasure to work with- as was the rest of the Blackfriars team. Having a day either side of the wedding to decorate and pack away was fantastic, we could really make the space our own (hay fever central, in our case) and the Blackfriars team had making sure it all went smoothly down to a fine art. We and our guests (and guide dog, Indie) had an absolutely perfect day; we couldn't recommend this beautiful venue more to anyone looking for a space that is stunning, historical, and peaceful, whilst having all of the perks of being in the city centre. Thank you so much to Matthew and everyone at Blackfriars for having us! We cannot wait to come back and visit.

Blackfriars was one of the first wedding venues me and my Husband viewed, and we fell in love with it straight away, booking it 2 years in advance! We are both so happy that we made the decision to have our wedding in Blackfriars as it was everything we hoped for, and more! The team at Blackfriars were so helpful and guided us through all the planning along the way and went above and beyond when we had an issue with our caterers early in our planning. All venue visits were relaxed and they answered any questions we had. Our wedding planner even managed to arrange for a local, alcohol-free IPA to be supplied on our day for our alcohol-free guests and ensured that all the alcohol in our drinks package was vegan for us! The garden games went down so well with our guests to use in the sunny courtyard, and it was amazing to see all our family & friends having the best time. We loved all the extra touches that were provided like fairy lights, downlighters and candles and this made the venue look even more beautiful! The staff were fabulous on the day and made us feel so well looked after. All of our guests continue to comment on how beautiful and unique Blackfriars is as a venue too (which is the reason we booked it!) and how they also found all the staff so helpful on the day. We can't praise Blackfriars highly enough and would highly recommend booking your wedding or event here!

We can’t thank Sue and the team at Blackfriars enough, we had the most amazing wedding day in September. The venue is so beautiful and we really couldn’t have asked for a better day. Everything in the run up and right throughout the day went so smoothly and Sue was always around to answer any questions. We had catering from Cater Cater who were also just as amazing! Thank you!

The most beautiful venue! As soon as we were engaged we knew we wanted to celebrate our marriage at Black Friars. Matthew was excellent and on hand to respond to any questions or requests we had. The recommended caterers, orchard catering, were sublime and would definitely recommend to future couples. Thank you so much for ensuring the day ran perfectly! Sophie and Matt x

Great place ,we found it purely by chance , but it is well worth a visit and is very intact . It is owned by English heritage and jointly managed with Gloucester Council, they even use it for functions . There is a little cafe there but it was closed when we visited. A lot of detail is still intact and a great display on the information boards . Amazing fire place plus it is a free to enter English Heritage property and close by is the ruin of Greyfriars priory .

This is a great spot for a casual shopping trip. It has a nice mix of stores, from fashion to home goods, and a few good food options. The layout is easy to navigate, and parking is convenient. It’s not too crowded, so you can shop comfortably. Overall, a pleasant, stress-free shopping experience.

This Marks and Spencer, right place for all your family shopping, one stop shop, you get designer clothes here, children clothes, adults, shoes, bags, accessories, this is high end shopping, ground and upper floor and basement. There are escalators for your convenience, the washrooms are very clean and neat, nursing mothers have been catered for, they can change diapers comfortably. Highly recommended

Eastgate shopping center... Plagued with the homeless, rude people and general youths causing problems. Be lucky to walk 50 feet without being pestered for money The shopping centre was a shell of its original glory, instead were met with, cafes or charity shops and any original shop in there is somewhere you would take your grandmother clothes shopping. Compared to the quays this is not the place to go shopping.

Lots of variety Aladdin’s is a great place to buy and the butchers the meat is great can’t fault it great service to

Walked through as fast as I could, sorry Gloucester, just do not feel safe here, I did see two security personnel ? who looked fed up and slovenly at the same time two lads went by quite fast on e bikes . It is a place I'll stay away from as much as possible.

The shopping centre is now mute with zero development in recent years particularly with the introduction of the Quays Designer Outlet. A decade ago it was a hot spot of energy and excellent shopping with lots of choice, now it’s more or less cheap clothing outlets, coffee shops and a few big brand stores keeping the place alive. The old market seems lost and dated, there use to be many local traders now only 2/3 of the old faces are noticeable. The car park is useful and positioned in the middle of the city centre, can be very busy during the weekends. The first floor of the shopping centre is non existent and not worth the energy.

A good shopping area in the center of Worcester. I had food at Boswells cafe. I was in Worcester to visit the Cathedral.

This store provides a pleasant shopping experience and offers free access to restrooms.

Hardly anything here, it's tiny! Very limited selection and spread thinly on choice. No fresh food, some freezer items. Weirdly large selection of scented candles. Ok if you want a bottle of wine and some snacks.

M & S good quality clothing. Excellent range of food and drink in the Food Hall - it's always been good, but improved greatly over the last year or two. Excellent café.

The cafe has sadly gone downhill. I visited on Saturday with my family and was firstly dissapointed with how much sugar was in the kids food choices. I ordered a jacket potato that for £7.50, was an absolute rip off. The jacket potato was scolding hot and the beans were luke warm at best. My husbands breakfast roll didn’t arrive until after everyone else has finished their food and drinks and again, was cold. There was absolutely no one to complain to with two people we could see available, both rushed off their feet.

Queued and requested the chicken cesar salad. Told we don't do chicken salad and this particular dish anymore. Pointed out its on an A board outside the store and in the menu. Lady on till was getting a bit fed up by now, so had to quickly pick an alternative. Why bother to promote it if you don't even sell it.

A good clean store with a great range of products. Sadly they didn't have anything which suited my specific requirements on this occasion.

Have you seen the prices for Christmas fare. 180 pounds for a top of range beef Wellington for six people.....

Brilliant pub serving their own amazing beer and gin, as well as local ciders. This became our local while we were on holiday in Gloucester! Very dog friendly, staff brought water, biscuits and gave ours a cuddle. The food was fantastic too, we had pizzas and snacky bits. The cheesy pretzel was easily my favourite!

Came here numerous times and loved it! The staff were absolutely fantastic, welcoming and very friendly. A big shout out and huge thank you to you all... Nick (a real legend), Connor (manager..nudge nudge, wink, wink...say no more 🤫😉), Millie, Bailey, Louisa and Jovan (this fragrance is named after you "Jovan Musk for Men"..a real classic, try it). You are all stars and your boss/the owner has some real gems of people in all of you, well done all...!! 👊👏👏 What a fantastic place and their burgers and pizzas looked so delicious too. Maybe next time we'll pop over for a lunch or dinner and have one of these.... I guess the staff got to know me after a few visits and even took my better half for a wee Rhubarb and Ginger gin which she absolutely loved! (All these gins are made at their Gloucester Brewery and Gin Distillery) What great real ales and first proper cask ales I've had in a very long time. Their Gloucester Brewery and Fox Gin distillery is a short walk away over the bridge on the other side of the docks basin. Definitely worth a visit as you can buy all the ales or gin at the Brewery shop. (A visit to here is a must!) The only other inhouse and onsite Brewery I know of is in Market Drayton, Shropshire. I had the Cascade Red ale which was great and fresh: Gloucester Brewery – Cascade – 4.2% – Red Bold aroma of spicy & floral hops over a perfectly balanced biscuit malt base But my absolute favourite is the Dockside Dark Porter!! Gloucester Brewery - Dockside Dark – 5.2% – Porter Velvety smooth and subtly sweet award-winning porter with a gorgeous aroma of coffee, chocolate and dark fruits. I highly recommend this pub, restaurant, Brewery....the decor throughout is stunning and so vibrant and with it, no stuffy or dated decor here at all... Thanks to YOU ALL for making us and me especially feel totally welcomed and so at home... Amazing place, amazing staff and amazing perfectly kept and chilled real cask ales, great Gins and delicious food..!!! 👍👊

Great beer. This is the Gloucester Brewery, established in 2011. Large selection of cask ales brewed by themselves. Award winning beers. Ever changing selection of great guest beers. Wines, spirits, great selection of gins. They also serve great food. The service is polite and friendly. They are very willing to provide advice on the selection of beers. Great atmosphere. Visit any day of the week. One of my favourite places in Gloucester.

Good lunch had here, went for the salmon and cream cheese toastie. Not too busy when we arrived, so slightly subdued atmosphere. The ale selection was very varied, opted for a nice light pale ale which went well with the food choice. Daughter had a pizza which I was told was lush!

Lovely setting, gorgeous cocktails, beer selection was good and amazing food!!! Would highly recommend to others visiting Gloucester.

Great selection of beer, especially that they're mostly brewed locally! Looks like lots of events on too throughout the week! Sphere of destiny is a 👌🏻 beer!

Friendly staff been here before and food was much better, this time the burger was a bit tasteless and served in a cold and white bun (I’m being critical for the cheapest burger over £10). Plenty of chips but they were slightly undercooked. Think I’ll steer from the place for food in the future which is a shame

Enjoyed a taste sensation at this italian restaurant in Gloucester. Service was very attentive, however a little slow, but I appreciate it was a busy Friday evening. Location fantastic with alfresco dinning. We indulged in a pizza and pasta combo, which did not disappoint 10/10 on flavours and would definitely return to sample more from the menu.

Perfect Anniversary Dinner at Gloucester Docks We visited Trattoria Settebello for our first wedding anniversary and it couldn’t have been more perfect. On arrival, the team warmly acknowledged our special occasion, which was such a thoughtful touch and set the tone for the evening. The decor is absolutely beautiful and we chose to sit indoors, with lovely views of the docks. Even on a Sunday evening, there was a lively buzz without being overwhelming. Our server, Josh, was excellent throughout – professional, polite, and attentive, which really enhanced the experience. The food was outstanding. We started with calamari, and I can honestly say it was the best I’ve ever had – perfectly cooked, delicious flavour, and a generous portion. For mains, we shared the carbonara and a margherita classica pizza. Both were amazing: authentic, full of flavour, and served in hearty portions. The food was so good that we sadly had no room left for dessert, but that just gives us a reason to return! We also enjoyed a refreshing strawberry mocktail and finished the evening with a lovely coffee, which rounded everything off perfectly. Overall, it was an amazing experience from start to finish – a fantastic atmosphere, outstanding food, and wonderful service. Highly recommended for a special occasion or simply a great night out. We’ll definitely be back.

Unplanned visit turned into great culinary experience! Generous portions and reasonably priced too. The taste oh so yum!! I had the mussels a pizza, my partner had the mussels too and the rigatoni. All excellent! I could not even finish the pizza so took it home and ate it for dinner- the taste was still amazing!

I had a lovely birthday meal here. The food was great and the service exceptional. A shout out to the chefs as it was the best gluten free pizza I have ever had. Josh our server could not have been more helpful. I thoroughly recommend.

Settebello is a charming restaurant that offers a fantastic dining experience with a focus on quality and authenticity. The food is consistently delicious, featuring a menu that highlights classic dishes prepared with fresh ingredients. Whether you’re enjoying their signature pizzas or savoring a pasta dish, the flavors are rich and satisfying. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends, family, or a special date. The staff are attentive and friendly, providing excellent service that makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk Thank you to everyone who checked on our table during our dining experience today. Your attentive service made our meal even more enjoyable and comfortable. We truly appreciate the care and friendliness you showed throughout our visit!

Excellent Italian in the docks. We really enjoyed the polenta chips (more like.hash browns) and pizza. And the nutella and mascapone calzone and tiramisu for dessert.

We visited for dinner. Brilliant service and atmosphere. The starter of calamari and scotch egg from the specials menu were outstanding. I love seafood, but the mezzi paccheri al gamberi was so fishy and inedible, not quite right. The staff kindly swapped the dish for Caparrico pizza which was nice. The spicy calbrese pizza was fantastic. We would visit again.

I have ordered from this takeaway several times now and usually the food is very good. I have never had need to question the service as have never needed to call them...until tonight. I ordered my food, as usual, via Just Eat. The food arrived well on time within half an hour however, the sauces, drinks and coleslaw did not turn up. I ran back outside to confront the driver who said he would return within 15 minutes with the missing items. We phoned the restaurant to query this and they sent a different driver with the missing items. The bloke on the phone was very blunt and abrupt however, the new driver called us ten minutes later struggling to find our flat. After five minutes, he eventually found it and I had a complete order. By the time we had finished faffing around, the food was basically cold. However, the food was enjoyable as usual. The service on this occasion has put me off. I will give them one more go however, if it is poor next time, my review will be lowered and they will have lost another loyal customer.

I would not recommend food Junction for delivery, we placed a family order on Sunday night (so not a peak time). The food was then delivered @ 6.45pm with the wrong order. We fully understand that mistakes happen and this wasn't an issue. We placed the call back to Food Junction and explained the situation. The staff member then apologised for the mistake and that a replacement would be sent out immediately. By 7:45 we still had not heard anything from FJ so-called back to inquire, we were then told again that the driver was on the way and would be with us within 15 minutes. We waited for almost another hour with no delivery so-called back. This time to be told that they are busy and have no drivers for 1.5 hours ( est delivery would now be 10.30 pm). The order was made at 6pm. I explained to the person on the call that I would like a refund and he refused. Luckily we ordered through just eat so managed to get a partial refund through them. Since looking through the other reviews it seems I'm not the only one to experience extremely poor customer service. @just eat should start to read the reviews and remove such a poor company from there supply chain. Were deliberate fobbed off and lied to get us off the phone. They only care about taking your money. I will not use Food Junction again but will use Gloucester grill instead.

AWFUL customer service. We ordered food, which took an hour to come. (After online said 30-40 minutes) No sauce, no soft drinks. We called up to explain, as I won’t eat my food without the dip, so we were told someone was on their way with it. 40 minutes later, our food is stone cold and still no sign of drinks or dips. I called up asking for a refund and the phone was put down on me. I then tried calling numerous times and there was no answer. I eventually got in contact and I’ve been told that I’ll only get a refund for the drinks which I did not receive and the man was quite rude on the phone. Although my food has not been touched. I’ll be expecting a refund for this The delivery driver has just turned up, an hour and 20 minutes later, with drinks and dips. Which has now been turned away and my cold food sent back. Never ordering from here again

Such a shame as I used to love this place. I'm not sure what has happened in the 6 months since we last ordered from here but it has gone drastically downhill. Our last order arrived late, cold, missing items and even wrong items in the order. When I called to find out when the food would be delivered I was told it would be with me any second. It finally did arrive 10 minutes later (an hour past the original delivery time stated) When I tried to call to let them know about the missing, cold and incorrect items the phone rang out. Repeatedly. I then had to source food from elsewhere as the majority of my order was missing. There are a lot of bad recent reviews and I decided to ignore them as we have always had great food here. I wish I had listened to them now.

This place is a joke. Order half of chicken lemon and herb. Got 8 spicy hot wings instead. 5 chicken strips lemon and herb turned out to be so spicy they weren't enjoyable. Cold wedges and cold garlic bread. Tried to call but no answer. Going to go in tomorrow for a full refund and will never return. Shambles!!!!!!

If i could give half a star I would. Absolutely disgusting. Ordered my food at about 1030 and took over and hour half to get to me. Placed my order on uber eats and gave me a delivery time of 1125. I kept calling food Junction and another number that was given to be by uber eats and neither would answer the phone. Just gone 12 my food finally turned up. I was missing items and it was all freezing cold. The nuggets were cold but edible and it just got worse and we started eating. I would never waste money here again its a surprise it still in business.

Hi, I'm hugely disappointed with the service from Food Junction. I placed an order 2 hours ago (and counting), bear in mind this order is PAID FOR, and was told I would wait no longer than 20 minutes for my food which has still not turned up. When I telephoned them to ask where my order was I was, primarily, nearly hung up on with the staff member repeatedly just saying "bye bye" over my voice whilst I tried to explain my issue. Once I got the staff member to get his manager, his manager then told me it would be no longer than another 20 minutes as they are "very busy". It has now been half an hour and I am still waiting for my order. The manager did promise some free food with my order however it is little compensation for waiting over two hours. What compounds the issue for me is that I live less than 3 miles away which makes the fact that it has taken so long a complete disgrace. I appreciate they may in fact be busy however I take issue with the fact I was given a SPECIFIC time frame and they have failed to deliver this miserably. I will not be ordering from them again. Please do not order from them.

This must be one of the most beautiful Cathedrals that I have visited. You can feel the history as you walk round. There are a number of wonderful chapels throughout. The vaulted ceiling is stunning as well as the stained glass windows. I would recommend going up to the whispering gallery. The views down into the Cathedral really worth it and tovaee the magnificent organ up close.

We really enjoyed visiting Gloucester Cathedral.The construction began in 1089 the Nave was completed in 1130.Over the centuries mor parts were added with different architectures styles. A magnificent building and it's said to be one of the finest ecclesiastical building in the UK.We really enjoyed ambling around the ethereal cloisters(a special treat for Harry Potter fans) and the beautiful stained glass windows

Visiting Gloucester Cathedral was a truly wonderful experience. The architecture is absolutely mind-blowing — it’s incredible to imagine how such a magnificent structure was built during that time period. The cathedral is vast, with many areas to explore, each more impressive than the last. One of the highlights was seeing the filming locations for the Harry Potter movies, which added a special touch to the visit. Overall, it’s a beautiful and historic place that’s definitely worth seeing.

What a magnificent building! I can't emphasis how must have this cathedral is. Search for top 10 facts about it, learn about its history and enjoy visiting. If you are a history lover, you need at least three hours (maybe five for a best visit) to completely appreciate the whole visiting experience. Would highly recommend donating as it costs a lot to maintain this fascinating building.

Poppy Fields by Luxmuralis - Premium Experience Great experience. A premium ticket allowed us fast track entry (it was raining, so this was much appreciated) & a faster entry to the 1st experience. It also allowed access to an upstairs section which had good views, plus a cheeky glass of sparkling wine. The cathedral looked lovely lite up. Great experience overall & a good reminder of the sacrifices made during war & that peace is better than war.

Gloucester Cathedral is breathtaking from the moment you step inside. The soaring ceilings, fan-vaulted cloisters, and magnificent stained glass fill the space with light and history. A perfect mix of art, faith, and architecture.Highly recommended for anyone visiting Gloucester.

This is a lovely cathedral that combines solid Norman design with some of the earliest examples of graceful Gothic perpendicular architecture, and demonstrates how cathedral design evolved over the centuries. One will be impressed by how the huge, solid pillars in the nave - still tinged red by fires in the 12th Century - contrast with the delicate, magnificent fan vaulting of the cloisters. The cathedral is the burial place of a king, and the intricately carved tomb of Edward II is splendid. Similarly, the Great East Window, which was the largest of its time when installed, glows with medieval glass. Carved stone ball flowers, a 14th Century decoration feature, abound inside and out. Amazing gargoyles, some of them new replacements for older carvings, decorate exterior eaves. Entry to the cathedral is by donation (£5 suggested) and taking a £8 volunteer-led Highlights Tour is recommended (our guide Mags was excellent). Since Gloucester Cathedral was used as a film location in three Harry Potter movies, it was fun to learn where scenes had been filmed, see the temporary fixes that had to be done to camouflage such things as light switches, and to hear how those familiar with the cathedral were amused with film studio continuity having actors enter one door and then appear on the other side in some completely different location. If driving to Gloucester Cathedral, one will find many pay by phone parking spots on nearby streets. Allow 2 to 2.5 hours for your visit.

Amazing place to walk around. I did the candle light tour, so spent 2 hours with, Clive being shown around the 4 acre site then we had an hour in total darkness to explore on our own. It was weirdly incredible. Clive is amazingly knowledgeable about the prison. Really recommend

Absolutely amazing tour! The guide was outstanding! Would defo recommend

We were a group of about 40 folks and booked the place for the whole weekend. Had a fantastic time and really appreciated the tour and explanations of all the buildings. Arranged our own disco and band and bought our own drinks. A burger van kept us fed with great food all weekend too. Highly recommended.

Great day out. Took the tour and thought it was fantastic. Great guide, well worth a visit 👍

1 month ago Great tour today with former Governor Clive very humorous and knowledgeable about the running and history of the now closed HMP Gloucester. Important that buildings like this are kept and shown off ! Clive was passionate about sharing the tales of prison life. We will be visiting again soon

The tour guide was very nice and helpful. Tour was very interesting and informative Spooky and scary but kept lighthearted too Me and my boyfriend had a really great night Would definitely go again

2 be honest i was a little disappointed 😞 the tour guide was amazing full of old facts and amazing stories. Would of been nice to no a little more about the modern side of it aswell like last 20 years or so. Little peved it says there was refreshments (there was not) should of brought a drink 🤣 wouldn't do it again but glad i went 🥰

Really nice ground, park nearby or take the train and walk the 10 minutes from the station. Plenty of pubs and food outlets around the ground or get something in the ground from one of the many hot food and drink stalls. Plenty of toilets around the ground and multiple gates for access. Roads are really busy after the match and the road right out front closes for about half an hour after the game.

It always helps when Gloucester win!! Had a great evening out at Kingsholm. The atmosphere is amazing. I'd recommend getting yourself in the Shed if you do visit. Gloucester!!!

Brilliant atmosphere and very friendly to the away team. (Except on the pitch). Bars and food available. Seating is available as well as standing in the shed. It will be a great shame when the shed gets demolished and turned into a grandstand. Prices will go up and the friendly atmosphere will go.

Another great event ran by Sterling Mix & Mingle again. The Stadium is fantastic for events and the team that look after us ate always friendly and on hand to help! Added extra was watching Gloucester-Hartpury Women RFC!

Easily accessed, in town. Food and drink just outside. Healthy atmosphere inside with the partisan 'Shed' clear on their support! Food and drink easily available inside. As usual with stadiums...it could use a few more toilets. Good to visit for the rugby as stands are close to pitch.

Great atmosphere for a game of Rugby. Good facilities and a nice old school vibe. Been a few times and always a lovely place for a day out.

Nice stadium. Sad how much the town has gone downhill over the past few years though. A ghost town full of boarded up storefronts

This can be a great area to see different species of birds. At various times there are Swans, Herons, Cormorant and Egrit. There's even a Kingfisher if you're lucky enough to spot him!

Very peaceful and beautiful place for walks to have a mindfulness and some relaxing time. Many ducks and swans to admire nature close encounter with nature kids really enjoyed.

A peaceful retreat and nature reserve that hides away between two housing areas about 2 miles from Gloucester City centre. Take a stroll along the footpaths that border the balancing ponds and keep a keen lookout for a variety of birds, flowers and other wildlife. Perhaps you might spot a heron, an egret or even a kingfisher if you are quiet and patient. Usually you will see ducks and some swans. The path leads past the ponds and alongside the small river twyver where there are many allotments, then back round to the other side of the ponds. Many flora can be seen here as the sun shines through the trees.

Lovely to walk around hearing birds singing and then a lovely open area to sea a number of ducks a swan. Lovely place!

A lovely area to walk around to see different types of wildlife. My son and I particularly like the heron that is in residence! If you’re not local, parking can be an issue. I recommend parking further out and walking in. Don’t be dismayed if approaching from Saintbridge Surgery side (as I did on my first visit), the path continues onwards and around the entire pond. The balancing pond is not just comprised of the wooded area.

It's only a small area but packed with wildlife that live in and around the pond There are benches but no tables or childrens play areas There is a meadow field nearby which is popular The whole area is good for families and dog walkers.

Such a calming and beautiful walk with the dogs....Love this little nature reserve hidden in a city!...

Finding genuine Indian, especially Kerala cuisine, in Gloucester is no easy task — but this restaurant is a hidden gem! The flavors were absolutely spot on, just like how we get back home. Every bite transported us to the kitchens of Kerala — rich, aromatic, and full of soul. Portions were generous, and each dish was not only satisfying to the tummy but also comforting to the mind and soul. The staff are ever smiling and helpful!! If you’re craving Indian food with authentic Kerala flavors, this place is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

5 Stars – A Hidden Gem in Gloucester! Spice Mantra is an absolute delight and easily one of the best Indian dining experiences I’ve had in the UK. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the perfect tone for the evening. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations tailored to our preferences. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavours, beautifully presented, and perfectly spiced. The butter paneer was rich and creamy, the saag paneer was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the garlic naan was fresh and fluffy. You can tell that the chefs here take real pride in what they serve. What sets Spice Mantra apart is their consistency and attention to detail – it’s clear that they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. Whether you’re a fan of bold spices or prefer something milder, they’ll make sure you leave happy. Highly recommend for a cozy dinner, celebrations, or simply when you’re craving top-quality Indian cuisine. A real gem in Gloucester!

Excellently food, great service lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Our host Akhil was professional , friendly and kind.

We ordered curry from this restaurant last night, and it was absolutely fantastic. The flavors were rich and authentic, clearly made with fresh ingredients and care. Each bite had the perfect balance of spices—aromatic without being overpowering—and the freshness really stood out. It felt like a true taste of traditional curry. We’ll definitely be ordering again soon. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine, flavorful Indian cuisine!

Spice Mantra in Gloucester is a hidden gem, especially if you’re planning to catch a band at the Guildhall. Just a short 5-minute walk from the venue, tucked in the Cathedral Quarter opposite Beatrix Pottery Shop, it offers a great dining experience. The food is a standout, made with the freshest ingredients and cooked to perfection, offering a true taste of home-cooked goodness. The staff are friendly, polite, and eager to make your visit enjoyable. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Spice Mantra is highly recommended for its quality food and welcoming atmosphere. ☺️

The food items were very good however ac was not working.

I stumbled across this restaurant while randomly searching for ‘chicken lollipop’—what a lucky find! I was thrilled to see Kerala dishes on the menu and decided to order delivery. To my surprise, it turned out to be the best Indian food we’ve had since moving to Cheltenham (we have tried all the popular restaurants). The flavours are authentic, the ingredients fresh, and it truly tastes almost homemade. We’ll definitely be ordering again and again!

Came to our favourite chippy in gloucester for good Friday and always not disappointed. Service is friendly and always efficient. They know how to ge the food out fast and well cooked. Just as well cos they do get busy. Food is always tasty and has good portion sizes. Love the place.

Amazing place for students, couple minutes walk. Good price for where it is (outside rugby stadium) Would go here again

Use this chip shop on regular basis. The owner is always friendly and welcoming. The food is always cooked fresh and chips are really nice. It's always busy. Clean and nice. Reasonably priced and value for money.

Great spot for food before the rugby. Much better tasting and value for money than anything in the stadium. Huge portions and very tasty. No wonder the queue is out of the door.

WOW! That’s all I can say. Was on a trip here and was struggling to find somewhere open for the times that I was there and stumbled across this takeaway on a google search. Glad I had!! The fish was fried to order and the chips were also fresh. Great portion sizes & packed well. All I can say is that it was all fried to perfection. The service was great too- I couldn’t have asked for more in any respect. Absolutely highly recommended!!! My only complaint is that they’ve set the bar ridiculously as I can’t travel an hour and a half just for fish and chips :)

Really great fish and chips! Portions are huge, and the staff so polite and friendly. What's not to like?!

Friendly service, good value and delish

Excellent food here, we were initially excited that it had a vegan menu, which is quite extensive! We had the fried courgettes, and quinoa with sorbet (surprisingly good combination) as starters, and the aubergine bake, and vegan gyros as mains. All phenomenal. If I had to critique any part of it I would say that the fries were a little under-seasoned, but that's really splitting hairs. My vegan 'meat' in the gyro was incredible, not like anything I'd had before, and I suspect, made in-house. The mayo was really nice too, not too greasy at all. It was very busy when we were there, but they were still very quick with our food/bill, etc. and so friendly and personable. We took our dessert to go as we were stuffed, but still wanted to try it. We had three courses each, which cost around £30 each (minus tips), which I think is pretty reasonable for how good the food and service was.

Feta cheese wrapped in filo pastry, smothered in honey with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Bake until perfect, and serve. You'll be forgiven if you think you've died and gone to Greek heaven. This truly is Ambrosia, the food of the Gods. My dining companions were equally as impressed. The spinachy mushrooms in the cheesey deliciousness can only be described as remarkable. We've already established that this northern geezer doesn't do bunny food, so my main course was served with a 'northern salad', chips in a feta sauce. Carbs with carbs. It's a good job I had plenty of insulin with me. The mixed grill, I was led to believe, was a delightful array of assorted meats and the Souvlaki Thalassinon was exceptional. The swordfish stood out, the rice was even better. There was no room for pudding. Our host (with the most), Sakis, turned out to be the star of the show. A marvellous geezer with a great sense of humour. If you're ever hungry in Gloucester you can do no better than to scurry along to Greek on the Docks.

Wonderful restaurant. Been here twice now; once for a family meal and second date night. Both times has been great. Such a great big menu of lots of different dishes, I look forward to going again and trying another dish. Definitely recommend giving this restaurant a go. Staff are very attentive and you’re not left waiting.

This is a Greek restaurant in the docks area of Gloucester. Service was excellent and food delicious. I didn't book ahead but got seated almost straight away. Our server was professional but friendly and efficient. There was a bit of a wait before being served but it was very busy, and I wasn't in any rush to go anywhere. Great choices on the menu and although it wasn't cheap, I don't mind paying for food which was well prepared, presented and full of flavour. I had the Kleftiko which was as good as I've had in Greece. The Galatoboureko for dessert was not too sweet and it went down a treat. I have already recommended this restaurant to friends and I will be back to visit again. Thank you so much. Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ!

The location and atmosphere were great in this restaurant. We enjoyed a couple of starters at our visit, and they were very tasty and could have stayed to sample more from the menu. Cocktails were also very good. The cold fish salad was plate licking good and the calamari some of the best I've tasted.

Absolutely Amazing Experience at Greek on the Docks I had the pleasure of dining at Greek on the Docks recently, and it was truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. This restaurant perfectly combines authentic Greek cuisine with warm, attentive service and a stunning location that makes it all the more memorable. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. The seating area is beautifully arranged, spacious, and ideal for a relaxed meal with friends or family. The view from the restaurant is absolutely breathtaking—overlooking the water, it adds a peaceful and scenic backdrop that elevates the entire dining experience. The food was nothing short of delicious. Every dish we ordered was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. You can tell that the ingredients are fresh and that the kitchen takes great pride in delivering authentic Greek flavors. Whether it was the grilled meats, fresh seafood, or the traditional mezze, everything exceeded expectations. One of the highlights of our visit was the excellent service. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. They made great recommendations that turned out to be spot on, enhancing our meal even further. Service was not only professional but impressively quick, without feeling rushed. It’s rare to find a balance between efficiency and attentiveness, but the team here nailed it. What truly sets Greek on the Docks apart is the overall experience. It’s not just about the food or the view individually—it’s the combination of it all: delicious cuisine, a comfortable setting, great service, and a location that makes you want to sit back and savour every moment. I would absolutely recommend Greek on the Docks to anyone looking for a top-quality dining experience with an unforgettable atmosphere. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Greek on the Docks – A Taste of Greece in Gloucester Greek on the Docks is a fantastic spot to enjoy authentic Greek cuisine right by the beautiful Gloucester Docks. This was my second visit, and once again, I was absolutely delighted by the experience. The service is excellent—the staff are attentive, welcoming, and go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. They create such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, which only adds to the charm of this restaurant. The food is authentic and full of flavor, with every dish offering the perfect balance of traditional Greek taste and fresh ingredients. Whether it’s beautifully seasoned meats, vibrant salads, or rich, hearty mains, every bite transports you straight to Greece. I opted to sit outside, and it was bright, fresh, and uplifting, with lovely views of the docks. It made the whole experience feel even more special, combining the wonderful ambiance of the setting with fantastic food and service. Greek on the Docks has quickly become one of my favorite places to visit in Gloucester. Highly recommended!

This location consistently delivers a great experience. The coffee’s always hot and flavorful, paired perfectly with their fresh, soft donuts—maple dip’s a standout. Staff are quick and polite, even during busy mornings. The drive-thru’s efficient, though indoor seating could use more space. Cleanliness is on point, making it a cozy stop. It’s not flawless, but it’s a dependable choice for a quick, satisfying breakfast or snack.

HYGIENE CONCERN!!!!! We are just dining in right now at 12:30 pm on 12 Dec 2024 and there’s on-going air-con cleaning around the dining area. You can imagine the dust from the filter and the air-con unit while customers are eating!!!!!!!

As a Canadian coffee and donut aficionado, I was very pleased to see a Timmy’s in the UK! I needed to see if the experience was the same as it is back in the homeland of the double double… it was close! Not as frenetic as a Canadian location, but the Tim bits were tasty! They’re certainly fresher in a Canadian location because of the 3428 people standing in line at the average Toronto Timmy’s… but these were close enough!

We had our first try of Tim Hortons burgers in Gloucester today and we were not disappointed. Both the beef and chicken burgers were good but the chap who served us was an absolute legend! We used the drive through so did lot go in. His name was Zahid and he was just the funniest dude ever. I wish everyone who work in customer service was as likeable as this guy! Keep up the good work Zahid 👏👏👏

First time at Tim Hortons - had an omelette with a latte. Due to having to wait a little longer than expected I got some extras even though I didn't express any distress.

Popped here to get the breakfast deal which is £1 if you buy a hot drink. I love the hot chocolate. Possibly the best I consistently have compared to anywhere else. Always easy and quick to order and receive my food and drink. I had the bacon and egg muffin with brown sauce this morning and it was very very good. You also get a hash brown with the muffin or wrap. Quality food and drink at low prices.

Use this place regularly for business meetings over a coffee. Easy to get to with free parking on a retail park. Quite roomy inside for these types of places, so very good for private little chats.

We were looking for a fun outdoor activity for a while. Archery was new to us. Our instructor Glenn was brilliant! Very safe environment, surrounded by trees and wanted squirrels :) I think we just became an experts in archery! Definitely will come back! Thank you!

We had an absolutely fantastic afternoon at Insight Activities, and a huge part of that was thanks to Glenn. His guidance and support throughout both axe throwing and archery made the experience not only great fun but also easy to pick up and enjoy. Glen struck the perfect balance of being professional, knowledgeable, and encouraging, while also keeping the atmosphere relaxed and full of laughs.

A few weeks ago a group of us went to Insight Activities and did the MedievalTrio for my daughter’s birthday. It was absolutely brilliant! Nick who taught us, so knowledgeable and fun, we all had a great time. Good value for money as well! Thank you!

We visited Insight Activities for a family session of Archery. 2 adults and 2 kids, 8 & 6yr olds. Nick was fab coaching us all, straightforward simple instruction with slight adjustments throughout the session to help hone what little skill we had! The kids absolutely loved it and now we’re researching local clubs to pick it up as a new hobby. Adults equally enjoyed the challenge and had a little friendly competition whilst the kids shot at a zombie. Something for all of us. Worth noting not to be put off by the rain, there’s a couple of sheltered areas. Thanks again for a fun filled afternoon Nick!

A really excellent day for the family or any sort of group really. Glenn was our course instructor - he was outstanding. Clearly a high degree of knowledge but importantly very approachable and made the day all the more fun. Highly recommend. Picture here of the kids and Glenn.

We had an excellent morning doing the Medieval Trio. Our instructor was great and made it so fun, and gave us really helpful tips to help our archery skills. The crossbow and axe throwing were great too. Would recommend to anyone- three people in their 30s and two in their 60s loved it!

Great day out for my team. It was fun and interactive and lovely setting in the forest. Nick was a great instructor and very good at what he does. Thanks again. The whole team thoroughly enjoyed it

This is our second visit to Salisbury Escape Rooms and we have thoroughly enjoyed both games. Very well thought out, fun, and a good mix of puzzles for all members of the group! We liked that it wasn't particularly linear so we could break off and do bits of puzzles we wanted to. Our games master Maisie (and I believe new owner!) was friendly and engaging. A huge well done for such a well designed escape room! Always a bonus to have made it out too in a respectable 44:59 minutes 😉

We did this escape room yesterday. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We were a bit baffled to start with, but soon got going with a little help. The owner was very kind, and helped us when we needed it. We were just 2 mature players. There were a lot of fun puzzles and games, and certainly plenty to fill an hour. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience! My partner are escape room fanatics and out of the many we’ve done, this is easily one of our favourites so far! What we loved as well is that the host is the one who designed the room, which we’ve never had before so was a great touch. She was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend to anyone who loves escape room experiences!

We had a great time at the escape room for my birthday. Maisie our host was so lovely. A really good activity to do with friends or colleagues. Highly recommend!

Visited yesterday. 2 adults and 13 year old. Absolutely loved it. Lots of good challenges. A really good escape room which i can highly recommend. Maisie was a great host as well.

Such fun! We were a team of mixed ages and skills, and there was something for everyone. The rooms were well-lit, which made it easier for older players. It was also quiet without any background noises or recordings running. We had lots of help via the walkie-talkie, but still had a lot of fun.

Absolutely brilliant set up. Well thought out, hard enough to make you want to come back for a second go! We did a couples 1 hr and are definitely going back to complete it in under the time given. Very very cool!

Sadly the site is currently closed due to weathering damage. The sign says they are planning on doing repairs this year so it can reopen. It is still possible to read the sign about the site and see most of it fairly well from the public footpath that goes around the outside of the site.

In a lovely location, up a nice 5 min walk from the carpark. Lots of signage give you good information about the history of this site. The road up is narrow so beware if you are in a big vehicle.

Its only a ruin - mostly foundations with 2 buildings fully restored - so don't get too excited, but its really well kept and the setting, on a sunny day, is really outstanding. It was so peaceful and calm. Combining it with a walk along some of the cotswold way makes for a perfect half day.

It’s not the best ruins but still good to see. You won’t need to be there long so maybe plan something else as well. Shame the building with the mosaic was closed as I think that is probably one of the best parts to see. Take care on the roads there as well .. very rough.

Wonderful and enchanting hiking trail right next to this Roman Villa. If you're here to take a look at the ancient ruins, then definitely also take the opportunity to go and walk down the hiking trail located in the forest right behind it. There's a bunch of beautiful spots to explore here. Mind you, the remnants of the Roman Villa could be a little more exciting but alas you don't need to pay an entrance fee and are free to explore the area as you please.

Edit: early 2021 new illustrated, informational signs were added to help understand the site. The remains of a once very grand Roman estate house and buildings. A little out of the way but worth a quick visit if you're passing. The actual site is a short walk, uphill from the car park. You're free to wander round and over the stubs of the remaining walls and try and work out the use of each area. Sadly the buildings protecting the mosaics are not open to the public. At the top of the path, turn around and take in the view across the reservoir to the escarpment.

Its a very picturesque and interesting place to visit. Its free so I have no complaints but there isn't loads to do there. There are some gorgeous walks and views all around and if you like a bit of history, it's well worth stopping by for a look.

Booked on to a learn to ski in a day course today. Incredibly impressed with the level of coaching from Ian and his team. They accommodated everyone brilliantly. At least 3 different instructors were on hand to support and the level of progression from everyone was amazing. Amazing value too with included lunch and both tea & coffee available throughout the day. Can't recommend enough and I never post Google reviews, felt like I needed to.

I'm absolutely in-love with this place! I've only recently discovered it, now I can't stop going! Compared to a lot of 'functional' dry ski slopes in the South, this has such a superb atmosphere! Always excellent staff, punters and the bar is always such a great facility for a post-ski beer and burger. It's not my local slope but it sure is my favourite! Skiing instructors are good AND fun which makes a fun activity even better. Highly recommend!

Great for pre season training! Lovely place with friendly staff. They have a small ski shop. Got some boots fitted there. The kids ski lessons usefully for getting the basics so you don't have to waste time on the slopes. The adult evening lessons are great value as you can ski prior to and after the lesson. It worked out to be less than £10 per hour! Would highly recommend.

Took a couple of little ones here for a tubing session. The ski slope has obviously seen better days (I remember when it was first constructed!) but is still perfectly serviceable. The tubes themselves look brand new. The instructor, Callum, was great: calm, helpful and good at managing young people including nervous first timers. The bar area was clean and tidy and not too expensive.

Recommend to join the class to learn how to ski. The instructors, Joe + Harry are extremely nice and patient to teach students how to ski. Very thoughtful and knowledgeable. Appreciate that.

Great place to bring kids or go with family/friends or groups. I went tubing and had great fun at a reasonable price. The half hr session was just £12 for an adult. I would recommend you bring gloves to save you extra money as they are required to do the activity, but I was told you could purchase them for £2 if you forget.

No thought about access for wheelchair users. My wife called and asked if they were wheelchair accessible and they said they were, but could not provide activities for wheelchair users. So not really accessible at all. We decided to meet with others to take the kids tubing. There was only one disabled parking space and no proper route to the centre from the car park. My wife went to the centre to ask about how I could get in. A young man opened a gate to a very steep and uneven slope that we only just managed because we're strong. We had to move the tubes off the path because it hadn't occurred to him to make room for my chair. The family thought the tubing was OK, but not very exciting. The matting is very aged and tired. I doubt we'll ever come back. I certainly won't. I'm going sit-skiing in Italy next month, pity I can't get any practice in here.

Unfortunately we had only one night here, such a lovely place to stay. The location was beautiful, the pub has lots of atmosphere and serve great local fresh food. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The accommodation was at a high standard, my only comment is the pull out bed that is a futon is too hard. I would definitely return. Thank you Dawn

Great accommodation, and a wonderful Pub. Accommodation had everything you could ask, including super comfortable beds. Pub was lovely, sitting outside enjoying a few drinks with friendly locals. Food excellent, but menu quite small. Overall excellent.

Tucked away up a side street in this beautiful village, with a good sized car park, this dog friendly pub is a real gem. A small lunch menu but perfectly executed. We had the burger and triple cooked chips. The burger was the best burger I have had in a VERY long time. A home made beef burger, delicious crispy bacon, sharp cheddar cheese beautifully melted, crisp little gem lettuce and a super soft brioche bun, blend perfectly with every bite to create perfection. If you are looking for a mid-week or weekend lunch, ( not open Monday or Tuesday) I can't recommend this pub highly enough. It is not pretentious but a perfect example of an English country pub, with guest ciders. Small but perfectly formed with an outstanding chef who knows his stuff.

Chance drive out that The Black Horse would be open, as was on a Monday but a bank holiday🥳Haven't been there in years. Triples cooked chips. Lovely, lovely! Nice community feel about the place. Look forward to going again in the near future.

Haven’t been to the black horse for many years, beautiful little pub with plenty of character but what really sets it apart is the food ,I had the rump steak and cheese cake for dessert which makes it sound mundane,it was anything but mundane it was exceptional the food and presentation was more than five star, very much looking forward to going again. Well done to all the team you work very hard and achieve a high standard .thank you for your wonderful service.

I attended a wedding here, and it was brilliant! The staff went above and beyond! Everything was sort, we had personal space to just be together. The food was absolutely amazing, if you haven’t been go, it’s in a beautiful spot and the clematis was stunning! So vibrant.

I absolutely love the BH. Always come here when I’m in the area. Perfect food always. Rave about it to my friends . Last time was Mar ‘25 - perfect food. This time I’ve been twice in first week of September, Weds & Sun. Wed I thought “this has changed…” everything was utterly encrusted and saturated in salt. It’s all you could taste. I had the burger. Huge salt crystals in the patty and in the burger fillings. And on the chips. The food was excellent but could not taste it for the salt. Quite unpleasant experience. On Sunday. Same thing. 3 starters and 3 mains. The whipped goats cheese starter was inedible. Everything else smothered in salt. The butter even we had to leave, as it was just pure salt. Shame as it was for my birthday. I’d raved about the BH to my friends from not around here, who had travelled from 4 hrs away for my birthday. I thought Wednesday was a one off. Poor chef must have heard somewhere that everything tastes good with plenty of salt. Not so, dear chef. Otherwise such good local produce. Such a waste of the wonderful raw ingredients. Was so different from last time in March that I asked if the chef was new. “Yes”. Was the answer. Same on Wednesday I was told. New chef. Makes sense now. Food was so good if you’d only hide the salt from the chef please. I’ll sadly give it a very wide birth for food now. Every good chef tastes their own food before sending out. Either this chef does not, or their taste buds have been totally killed off. So sad.

Great pub food. Excellent vegetarian options on the menu and really enjoyed it. Plenty of tables and lots of people watching the football at the bar area, however that wasn’t of putting or a distraction. Plenty of TV screens to watch sport if you want. Parking was a bit tricky as not enough spaces with the shops sharing parking in same location.

A brilliant experience at The Turmut Hoer today. We had exceptional service from Josh and Ellie, who were both friendly and accommodating. The menu had a variation of vegetarian dishes, we both went for the rainbow lasagna, which were on a great deal - two for £13.50 and were delicious! We ended up staying for a brownie dessert too as we were having such a good time.

We recently visited Gloucester for a couple of nights away, had a lovely time and this pub played it's part in that. We were looking for a pub to eat in each evening, found this one not too far from our Hotel, the menus and prices all looked good and decently priced so we went on the first evening. The pub itself was nice, plenty of parking, it was in a pay and display carpark but customers could enter their registration plate and park for free which was good. Service wise it wasn't busy so we got a table away, ordering was either on the App or pay at the bar, so nice and simple. The food came in good time and it was lovely, my wife likes a chicken burger so had the grilled chicken one with cheese and bacon, it was perfectly cooked and the bacon was crispy and perfect for how she likes it, the fries were nice too. I had the Curry House Feast which was fantastic, lovely curry with a Tandoori chicken skewer and lots of extras, all perfectly cooked and very tasty, nothing bland and boring at all. For pudding I have the Lemon and Raspberry Mousse and my wife had the "Pump Your Brownie", again both were great, very tasty and the mousse was very refreshing. I'm fact we enjoyed it so much we went back the second night too, this time I had the Big Daddy Burger which was huge and again came with loads of extras, was perfectly cooked and moist not dry like a lot of chain restaurant burgers can be and the best I've had from a chain for a long time, my wife enjoyed her chicken burger so much the night before she had it again, this time we were too full for dessert. The staff were great, the young lad waiting tables was polite and attentive, the girls behind the bar were friendly and efficient, we called the manager over to say thank you as well as I think not enough people do that these days when they have had a good experience, this review is to back that up but I think from now on we are going to make an effort give positive feedback while eating out too, they get told when things go wrong so why not when things are right? We couldn't fault it at all and next time we are around the area we will definitely go back, thanks again to the staff, it makes real difference in customer experience when you can see they are happy in their jobs.

Had a great experience at the turmut hoer, excellent food, friendly staff. Great prices. What’s not to like. One of my favourite places to eat

The food here was amazing! For a pub this place has a great team in the kitchen. Food was hot, fresh, delicious and arrived within a very respectable 20 mins Much better curry than the Indian restaurant Polash next door. Updated review. 03/30/25 Terrible experience for Mother’s Day today. Waited over two hours for our food after ordering. I had the curry feast, chicken skewer came out burnt and chewy. The children had pasta which came out sloppy and extremely over cooked (apparently the pasta is not cooked in house and comes premade???) My mother had the chicken gyro. Not a single piece of chicken on the plate but did have at least 8-9 large pieces of chicken SKIN!!! Servers and managers were all very friendly and apologetic but the kitchen staff failed massively today. Such a shame after a good experience during last visit here. Huge let down today. Kitchen staff need retraining or to be fired for sending out only chicken skin after waiting for over two hours. Kitchen manager should be replaced for buying premade pasta instead of cooking in house!

This has got to be one of the best pubs to eat in in Gloucester. The staff are very polite and friendly when you get there - straight away making you feel welcome. The pub itself inside is nice, clean and actually makes you want to stay. The food choice was good and everything was in stock. Ordered at the counter and food came out in a reasonable time and was excellent. Very nice food and everyone was impressed. This is family dining as it should be - many thanks. Even the outside terrace area is a nice touch 👌. There is plenty of dining space outside aswell as inside and ample parking

Absolutely amazing lunch and drinks! Very fresh and great atmosphere. The chicken burger was incredible, just HUGE! The recommendation of dirty chips was the best suggestion ever! They were absolutely delicious!!!!!!! Great value and attentive staff. We will be back !!!
