The imposing 18th Century frontage of
this Grade I listed building hides a
14th Century structure. This was the
Whittington town house from 1311 to 1546
and the four times Mayor of London would
certainly have visited it. Internally it
has a contemporary feel. Eight Ales and
a draught cider are offered; among many
guest ales Whittington's (Cat's
Whiskers), Uley and Purple Moose are
favourites. There is usually a mild on
tap. Excellent home cooked food is
served until 2100 (1500 on Sunday).

GUEST BEER Regular (H)
Although rebuilt internally in 1992, the
lounge bar of this popular community pub
has an older feel thanks to a glorious
log fire, surrounded by high-backed
chairs, and to its pews, old tables and
old photographs. A display of frogs (all
gifts) leave no doubt about the
landlord's nationality. The public bar
has a large screen TV for sporting
events, and there is a double skittle
alley. A wide selection of home-cooked
food is offered at reasonable prices.

club meets here monthly. Wheelchair WC.(Gloucester)

Extremely popular 17th century inn on

Jacobites who met here. Today, a passage

that is ablaze with flowers in the
summer. A large door opens into a bar
with panelled ceiling and carved stone
fireplace. The pub enjoys a
long-established popularity with city
workers and visitors. The modernised
Orange Room serves as an overflow area
or a room for private functions.

Set back from a busy thoroughfare, this
end property of a Grade II listed
Georgian terrace has recently been
refurbished throughout without
destroying the 'country' feel of the
bar. This popular drinking spot has
beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls (of
questionable origin), an open log fire
with unusual canopy, carriage lamps -
even a carriage wheel as a seating area
boundary. A skittle alley opens up to
create extra space. Eight ales are
usually stocked with the guests

meals (not Sunday evening) and bargain

GUEST BEER Beer range varies (H)
Magnificent medieval pilgrims' inn which
originated circa 1350 to house visitors
to the shrine of Edward II in St. Peters
Abbey. After falling into disrepair the
pub was rebuilt by Abbot John Twining in
1455 and was known as the largest
hostelry in the country. Lady Jane Grey
was pronounced Queen of England in 1553
while staying at the New Inn. The main
courtyard, surrounded by chestnut
galleries draped with foliage, was used
by strolling Elizabethan players and
still occasionally hosts outdoor
performers. Cask beer is served only in
the ale bar. Six are usually available,
mainly from craft brewers, and for one
week each month a small brewer is
invited to supply all the pumps. Black
Rat cider comes from Moles. Fine
function room and accommodation (special
rates for CAMRA members). Gloucester
