WHAT ARE THE BEST PLACES TO EAT IN GLOUCESTER?

Moving into your brand-new Gloucester student accommodation, you might be wondering what to expect from this small, but beautiful, town when it comes to a dining experience. There is no better way to get to know your new flatmates and friends from university than to head out for a meal together, and there is plenty to get your teeth stuck into when living and studying in Gloucester.

Graze (Hartpury College) – At Hartpury College there is an amazing student restaurant on-site, which is open 7-days-a-week for breakfast right through the whole day to dinner. It is the perfect place to catch up with friends, find the right breakfast to power you through your day, to stop for a bite to eat (a snack or a lite bite at lunch), or for a full meal at dinner time after a full, hard day of study. There are loads of vegetarian options on the menu, and healthy meals, as well as those hearty staples such as jacket potatoes, filled baguettes, pizzas and panini. They also do some incredible themed days, such as Fajita Friday, so keep an eye out on the menu.

Sebz (Northgate Street) – Portuguese food is so tasty, and at Sebz on Northgate Street is the perfect place to try out if you like the taste of Portuguese dishes such as piri piri chicken, loads of tasty tapas-style dishes, alongside calamari, salt cod cakes, and an amazingly delicious Madeiran dish called espetada, which is meat on skewers that has been seasoned with rock salt, bay leaves and garlic. There are some great offers at Sebz, including three dishes for under £12 during lunchtime or £13.50 during the weekday evenings.

Tank (Llanthony Road) – Gloucester Brewery was already a really popular local brewery in Gloucester before deciding to open its own bar called TANK. The idea behind TANK is to continue the celebration of all things local, both beer and food. The menu is full of tasty pub grub-style dishes like big juicy burgers, pizzas, charcuterie boards and sandwiches – paired with the Brewery’s own beers, such as Gloucester Gold (the flagship beer of the brewery) and the American pale ale Chinook.

Portivo Lounge (Gloucester Quays) – Down on the historic Gloucester Quays, Portivo Lounge is situated within an old corn mill and delivers a unique setting for a bar and restaurant. The aesthetic is definitely bohemian in nature, and the menu is amazing. There is a wide range of food on offer, with brunch dishes to fill you up for the day ahead, tapas and panini for something a little lighter, and big burgers for a hearty feed.
