We are still completely overwhelmed — in the best possible way — by how magical our wedding at the Gloucester old spot was. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
Your venue didn’t just meet our expectations — it exceeded them in every way imaginable. It felt like stepping into a dream, and somehow, everything we’d hoped for became real.
Every detail was perfect — the stunning atmosphere, the thoughtful presentation, the incredible drinks, the unforgettable food — all of it delivered with such care and quality. You created not just an event, but an experience that we and our guests will treasure forever.
We’ve been flooded with messages from our loved ones, all saying the same thing “That was one of the most beautiful, seamless, and joyful celebrations we’ve ever been part of.” And that is entirely thanks to you Amy and your team
Thank you for your generosity, your professionalism, and your heart. We will never forget what you made possible for us !!!

We were extremely lucky to hold our wedding reception at The Gloucester Old spot the beginning of May. Amy and her team were honestly the best, helping us with every aspect from start to finish, both professionally and super friendly! We had so many compliments from our guests on the food, it was all beautifully presented and tasted just as lovely. The venue really is gorgeous, and suited just what we were after. A casual but quirky affair, and not too far from the centre of Bristol. We would not hesitate to come back for any future events we may have. We look forward to coming back to try the famous roast dinners! Thanks so much to the team for making our day so special, it’s a day we’ll never forget.

We had our wedding here on the bank holiday weekend in May and I can honestly say from the moment we booked the marquee everything has been great. Amy was so great with us, always on hand via email to respond to any questions or queries and was so accommodating for us aswell. The big day came and I can’t fault them! They set up all the decorations just how I wanted it. The food was sooo yummy and our guests also said the same. It was the most relaxed beautiful day we could have ever hoped for. The staff were all amazing and the service was great. Nothing was too much. A wonderful atmosphere and we had the best day ever just gutted we can’t go back and do it again. Thank you all so much! You made our day so memorable xx

The food was disappointing, especially the pork belly which was overcooked and too tough. The service was very friendly but food took over an hour to come even if the restaurant wasn’t’ very full. Overall a nice pub for an afternoon drink but food is disappointing for the price range.

Amy and her team were absolutely incredible, and we cannot thank them enough for making our UK celebration everything we dreamed it would be and more. Their professionalism, creativity, and dedication shone through every step of the way, and their kindness and support truly meant the world to us.
From start to finish, we felt we were in the best hands. Amy and her team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, creating memories that we will cherish forever. We are so grateful to have had such an amazing venue and team by our side on one of the most important days of our lives.
Thank you again for everything – you made our day unforgettable!
With love,

We had our wedding party here and it was the BEST night! Amy and her team couldn't have done more to make sure that we could relax and celebrate, knowing that everything was taken care of! The food was delicious, a great menu to choose from and they catered for all of our various dietary requirements. Our guests kept telling me how much they enjoyed the food! The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were super friendly and helpful and the venue itself looked fab. Thank you so much for making our night so special and memorable. X

Tucked just off Gloucester Road, this pub is an absolute gem. It has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and a beautifully kept garden that’s perfect for sunny days or evening catch-ups.
The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel extra enjoyable.
It’s also a brilliant spot for events – plenty of space, great vibes, and a setup that makes everything run smoothly without feeling formal.
Whether you're popping in for a quiet drink or hosting something special, this place really delivers.
Highly recommend if you're in the area!
(Price depends on how much you drink and how long you are there!)
