The Pelican Inn, Gloucester

Friendly sociable barman served up excellent Butty Bach. Good boozer.

Quite a find, a Wye Valley owned pub in Gloucester, only open since June 2012 in this guise. It lurks at the back of the Cathedral in a small back street. A two room set up one with a counter one with a juke box and machine in the other. Fairly minimal in décor, the odd print, map and Wye Valley ad's plus bundles of hops above the counter. Traditional furnishings of benches and wooden tables and chairs on bareboards. There's a nice open fire in the wall dividing the two rooms and there's a selection of papers and magazines for the customers. Excellent.
