Robert Raikes's House, Gloucester

Ticks all the Sam Smith’s boxes proper old style pub multi roomed & an outdoor seating area. A must visit if in area.

10/10 for the architecture - a tudor merchants house, with all wooden paneling and little alcoves. Sam Smiths tied house. So you know exactly what you are getting.

not your usual pub, but a lovely place - rather like drinking on a National Trust stately home, very civilised though it doesn’t quite feel right. Very friendly helpful staff though. A bit spartan in the bar with all furniture removed but the many other rooms are as majestic as ever. Sam Smiths beers, the extra stout was £3.40 for a pint. Food being served though most were drinking.
