At the Norwood Arms Beneath a sky of Cotswold gray, Where Gloucester’s breezes softly play, There stands a pub both proud and wide— The Norwood Arms, our local pride. Its doors swing open, warm and wide, With tales and laughter tucked inside. The scent of ale, the hum of cheer, The clink of glasses drawing near. Old wooden beams and polished brass, The ghosts of pints and stories past, Still linger where the fires burn low, And strangers stay, then never go. A Sunday roast, a football game, The barkeep knows you by your name. With every pint the world feels right— A haven on a drizzly night. The jukebox hums, the banter flies, As time slips by in amber dyes. No finer spot to share your dreams Than under Norwood’s steady beams. So raise your glass and toast the day— To friends who laugh and those who stay, To every soul who finds their charm Within the walls of Norwood Arms

Waited half hour for waitress to take drinks order, another half hur to receive them. Got the order wrong. Asked for 0% cider got normal. Didn't realise till half way through drinking it as looking at label. Gin was disgusting.. cloudy and bitter. Took another hour to receive our meal only after asking how much longer. Friends meals ok but I had steak and ale pie ...don't know how it's award winning. 3 small bits of meat and 4 lumps of fat. Gravy tasteless. Broccoli was frozen variety so it was watery and tasteless. The toilets were disgusting. 2 /3 were blocked. . I would not ever return. Not like food was busy. It's definitely a drinking pub.

Went for lunch on Sunday 23rd March, I oredered the fish and chips which cost £13.69. My first impression was that I had mistakenly ordered the kids meal, there were very few chips and the fish was quite small. Unfortunately the food didn’t taste good either, fish had no flavour and peas were undercooked so only had my very few chips. I mentioned this to the waitress who said sorry but still charged me full price. Won’t be going again obviously and if you do avoid the fish and chips.

Didn't eat but my past experiences with food were poor, but that was a few years ago so being fair I didn't rate. Want to review food but hesitant to splash out and be disappointed so please do trust others with their more recent food reviews. Really good selection of beers and the team brought out their Halloween gear. Visited on Halloween Tuesday hence the Atmos rating as it was pretty early, weekends do pick up but it's certainly a pub and food rather than an event destination. Beer selection is the main draw here imo 2025 update: so we hit the bath road tonight and ate at 3 different places. Norwood, 5 alls and Exmouth. So this is my updated review of the Norwood food compared to these. Hate to say it but the Norwood food is not great when compared not only price wise, but visually and the quality. I would defo pass on their food and tap up anywhere else on the bath road. Beer selection and service are outstanding, but I would still avoid the food! Go here for beer, not food

There was not a warm welcome to the Norwood at all. The food was hot and fine, but the real ale (Golden Hen) was not good at all!! Staff should be trained properly how to pull ales, not erratically And quickly, but the beer was at the end of the barrel, and the staff ignored the fact when told. Also tables were not cleared when vacated, and staff ignored this!! So nice food, but attention to detail by staff please!!!

Came here for the first time for drinks and dinner; not only was the card machine not working but the bar staff (who were training a new starter at the time) told us that it was our banks that were the problem and that there was no problem with the machine despite the obvious repeated errors happening, we ordered food anyway and decided to use our change on the gambling machines whilst we wait; we put £10 into both machines only to have one of them swallow one of the notes in it's entirety without displaying any credit, we reported accordingly to staff who informed us that there was nothing they could do on their part and that we were to give our details for future cashback. Unfortunately the bar staff did not have an official logbook for this and just asked us to write our number on a scrap piece of paper stating that they'll "give us a ring" when they get the machine sorted? Our food arrived and what was advertised originally as "buttered mash" was obviously just a freezer pack that they had quickly reheated as it was not only cold but also completely stale. The bar staff were not only rude but completely un-reassuring with every unfortunate incident that occured in the space of an hour; not admitting guilt nor apologise for the entire mess of events

Went with work - even though the meals were pre-ordered, several people were either missed or given the wrong meal - bad considering one of those had an intolerance. 2 of our group had to share meal as several other individuals came along as freeloaders and were given their pre-ordered food! Food was OK, but nothing special.

Absolutely amazing service. Unfortunately a week before Christmas my 93 year old mother fell and broke her arm and was in hospital, (we’d booked this as a special treat as she was in hospital last Christmas). The hospital said we could take her out for dinner. I rang ahead to say she’d be in a wheelchair and was given directions to the easy accessible entrance. We walked in and it was packed and your lovely customers all moved and made space for her so we could get through. All your staff were lovely and made a stressful time enjoyable. The food was amazing and the portion sizes huge. Thanks again for making our Christmas more enjoyable than what we were expecting

We have decided to pick this place for our colleague's retirement party. Unfortunately staff was very upset to serving many drinks (40 people) at that time. Eventually the staff member in christmas (apparently manager)jumper started shouting at as that we have to move to the one end of pub because we are on the way. Well with so many people in the pub he should not be as angry as he was. Throwing out the bottles and showing that he is upset with amount of clients is not the best to keep running the business and keeping the new/existing clients.

Had lunch here on 12th May. There were only 3 of us in the restaurant. Service was polite but very slow. Meals were mediocre at best. The mushroom risotto was made with dried mushrooms and they were chewy as insufficiently rehydrated. The seafood risotto was lacking in seafood other than a few jumbo prawns. Definitely not worth a lunch visit.

Don't bother with the golf here, a once lovely 18 holes golf course has been reduced to just 9 very average holes by the current owners, whilst all the "newer clubby" things cost a fortune.......trying to bring all the Londoners who have 2nd and 3rd homes here I suspect. Avoid!
