The Barn Owl in Gloucester

Had a amazing time at the barn owl with my children, dale and the staff were amazing made us feel very welcome and didn't mind the kids playing and being a bit loud. Would definitely go back and recommend to anyone with kids. Thank you dale 😊

Dale was very helpful and great service, great family pub and good choice of drinks and food.

We've visited multiple times, service is always excellent, food always tasty. Prices are reasonable - even more so when they have offers on such as 30% off mains. Dog friendly dining areas are available as well as areas without dogs allowed. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend.

Fantastic and clean pub with a great sport showing and friendly staff. Dale, Ben and team are all fantastic and great to see a dog friendly local pub

Couldn’t thank Ben enough today 5 stars from me

Came in on Saturday night for some drinks in the sun and stayed for some food and to watch football. Dale, Ben and the team are fantastic! Great pub and team and we always feel welcomed

Pleasant and peaceful atmosphere. The staff was very kind and offered swift service!

Nothing to fault here. Food was excellent

Popped in for a quick drink yesterday. Found the waiting staff Haydee to be very polite and helpful in clearing our table out in the pub garden. She took time to ask if we were ok and wanted to check out the menu. Refreshing to see young people being so polite and attentive.

Great service, food came quick and hot. Will come again!

10/10 food! Great atmosphere would definitely come back🩷

Staff always friendly and accommodating.

Came here for mother's day and wasn't disappointed!

Came in to get a couple of drinks and enjoy the sun, after a lovely walk on mother's day with our little one. Usually we have a great experience here but not on this occassion. We sat down by the kids area and went to the bar and ordered some drinks. Once we sat down, I think it was the bar manager that came over and told us we couldn't sit here as the tables were all reserved and they weren't doing food for walk ins and made a fuss about how he had to re-clean the table because of us. We were told to move to the bar area or the other area of the restaurant and not in a very polite way. There were no signs up at all stating this or that any tables were reserved and neither was I told this when I ordered our drinks. Funny how quick they are to take my money and then they let you know after you've paid! Honestly awful! Shame as not all the pubs in the local area have a kids area and it's put us off coming here again, which is a shame as we are local.

Very good all round experience thanks

Great place to eat and drink 🍸 I had the mix grill would highly recommend. Also the service was spot on

Enjoyed my drinks and the service. Katie looked after me so well. My food was hot and fresh

As far as Thursday early evenings go, we had a really good visit! It was 'moderate' busy, not noisy and not quiet, pleasant atmosphere. Customer service was great and prompt, food was fast and presented well. All was hot and tasty!

Really good service and tasty food

Fantastic service and outstanding food quality and portions

A good local venue. My church group is always welcomed when we use this space to meet and discuss. We always order drinks and some of us usually stay for lunch after our meeting.

Good service friendly staff food arrived in timely manner steak was cooked correctly

Went in for food and drinks with the wife and kids great food very helpful and very polite definitely will be back

Went for food and drinks with the husband and I would like to thanks the chefs as the food was delicious. I used the orderbee app and my drinks and food was delivered quickly and the staff was so welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be returning very soon and recommending to friends 🧡

Service is very fast and lovely customer service. Make you feel welcomed.

Great place to grab a bite to eat or to just have a few drinks with friends !

Update March 2025 - even in a half filled pub food service for 2 mains took 40 mins, so think this is an area that needs improving. Original 2024 - Well laid out pub with kids reading area as well. Food did take 40 mins on a peak Sunday. Once arrived some of it was cooler than it should have been, but edible. Friendly staff

Fantastic food, friendly staff and great atmosphere

We love to eat here the food is great & the staff are very friendly.

Always great. Good pub food. You know what you’re getting and good value for money. Staff always lovely and friendly.

Great food and the staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back!

Lots of TVs and a big projector screen for sport. Great food and the staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back! Also nice beer garden when the weather is warm.

Great local pub. Friendly staff, good variety of food and drink. Family friendly. Nice outside area. Show a range of sports events and more recently, there have been a range of events on.

Although it was really busy we were shown to our table on time, and didn't have to wait long for our food once we had ordered. We were all pleased with our meals, and desserts, too.

Hardly any parking spaces! Got there,was sat down for awhile till a lady came over and told us food would be over an hour wait! Wasnt even in a polite or professional manner. Dirty tables. We left.

We go every week. Good food, friendly staff especially Deb and Chic. Great family atmosphere ☺️

Really good food cooked by jon and steve ✌️ recommend the kebab! the service from the guys deb jay and katie out the front was very welcoming and friendly, and quick service too! The kids enjoyed the play area, lovely to see a child friendly pub to eat in!

Staff were amazing, very good service. Massive well done to Jon and Steve, also to Deb, Jay and Katie for a great service.

We go every week. Great food, plenty of choice on the menu, and quick service. Lovely staff, especially Deb and Chic. Great family atmosphere ☺️

Lovely pub with friendly staff especially Kate and Deb! Great food, well worth a visit

Service was perfect. Well done to Deb, Jay and Katie, perfect service

Food is good atomosphere lovely service is good. Really enjoyed our meal.

Fantastic service. Chiquita was superb in looking after my party. Nothing was too much trouble regardless of how busy it got. Definitely will go again

We go every week. For a meal and to wind down from work. Such a great atmosphere, Great food great service from Deb and Chic, All fantastic staff nothing too much trouble what more can I say? Keep up the good work guys

Food was very hot 🔥 The staff were very friendly would recommend 👌

Me and my family had a lovely Sunday lunch there lovely food friendly staff very helpful will definitely goe there again

The new menu that was recently introduced is excellent. As usual, the staff were friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Haidee in particular was amazing!!!!

Good service and value for food

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We were greeted by Steve and shown to our table. It's always lovely to be greeted with a friendly face! I had my 2 year old grandsons with me and they cleared their plates, as did myself and my daughter. The roast beef was cooked beautifully and the enormous yorkshire puddings were a real treat! Thankyou to Dale & Steve for a lovely Sunday lunch. The pub was absolutely packed but nothing was too much trouble. Chic and Deb delivered our meals and nothing was too much to ask, even when they were so busy! Katie came to see us to make sure we were happy with our food which was a great touch given how busy they were. It's the little details that make the difference. A wonderful experience and I would 100% recommend - you are all doing a great job! Thankyou all so much!!

Very family friendly, plus live football!

Friendly and efficient staff, nice, hot food and a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. Job done.

All the team are great and very friendly, I always feel welcome to come back. Can defiantly recommend.

Popped in this afternoon had a little bite which was presented very Well and tasted excellent served Steve and Deb. Keep the good work up

I had a cheese and chutney sandwich which was rather disappointing. The top of it was dry as if it had been made first thing and left uncovered. and there had been no attempt whatsoever at presentation. The sandwich was not even cut in half/quarter just plonked in the middle of the plate. I could do better at home.

Staff and owner fantastic helpful friendly brilliant with dogs amazing place to bring your dog as my dog Bella loves going regularly and also food and drinks are amazing would love to see a doggy menu as I think you would get extra busy definitely been recommending to friends and people In gloucester with other dogs thank you for all you do you an amazing pub

Very helpful and pleasant team at the Barn owl.

Staff are very friendly and food was amazing, great atmosphere, couldn't ask for more 😊

Amazing Pub, great atmosphere, very clean and tidy, food was delicious and came out with no delays, staff were friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend, we will certainly be going back.

Good place to go for a bite to eat and a drink. Huge bonus is that is dog friendly! My dog is always welcomed and gets a bowl of water and a treat.

Visited for lunch with my son and parents. Food was very good and service was great. We were served by deb and Katie who were both very polite and friendly. Deb was particularly good who despite being rushed off her feet was always happy to help and kept a smile on her face. Will definitely be back!

As always,friendly helpful staff and a pleasant ambience. Excellent food,my vegetable burger was sublime and it was good to be offered the light choice of a salad rather than bun and chips.

Waited 25 minutes for drinks and 45+ mins for ice cream sundae

We walked it in off chance with some friends nice and pleasant greeted with a smile

Quick & cheerful service, nice food and a lovely atmosphere. Special shout out to Dale, Dave, Deb & Katie for a lovely evening for a party of 12! Will definitely be back!

Dave , Deb, Katie and Dale - tonight they were great, service was amazing, food was amazing! Had great time, thank you!

My first visit to the Barn Owl, had a lovely time, the staff were lovely. The food was delicious and not too long wait between courses.

Come here regularly for something to eat and drink. Always a warm welcome and food is always nice. The waitress called Chic was very friendly and helpful.

Only ever had a positive experience, staff treat with kindness and are friendly. Food options are wide and ability to swap chips to fries jacket potato, etc. Comfortable atmosphere.

Always good food and lots of options. Comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Good for food or a drink and for all ages. The service is always quick and very friendly staff. Dog friendly in certain areas too. Ben has been especially nice while we have been in here regularly while moving in the local area. Looking forward to trying the roast dinner!

Great food and friendly staff... Debbie and Katie make the place. Good atmosphere during sports matches.

Atmosphere was absolutely top notch. And the food was something else. Absolutely amazing food. Would highly recommend and the quality was best I have ever had.

Eaten in here A couple of times and food and service has always been good, with a good selection on the menu. Suitable for the whole family Good prices and fairly quiet.

Accommodating for a group of us with babies and prams. Food was delicious!

The food was excellent, service friendly. Bit of a wait for food but we were informed early and in no rush. When it came, it was hot, tasty and good portions

Nice and quiet when we came in but a relaxed atmosphere and v family friendly. Food was good and good toys for the kids to play

A lovely local pub and our family’s go-to spot for weekends. Great atmosphere and always a pleasant experience!

Very good service , friendly and helpful , food came out quickly and correct. Beautiful cooked

Very polite staff, clean, good tasty food plenty of it and good value.

the food was good and the service was as hoped for.

Always a great visit. Team are friendly and welcoming.

For a Christmas Day meal the place lacked a festive atmosphere with normal music playing and sky sports news on the TV. Communication about how long food would take was slow, had to ask for plates to be cleared after sitting there if over 30 mins, staff looked harassed and stressed. Have eaten out for Christmas Day in previous years at other locations and this was extremely disappointing and I would not recommend or go again.

Lovely friendly staff. Good food which is reasonably priced and excellent choice of drinks

Came in this evening to celebrate a birthday with quite a large number of us. The food was excellent along with the service. The atmosphere was really warm and friendly, I would highly recommend.

Great food just watch your bills been overcharged the last two times we have been there thus time it was by almost £8.00 rectified by manager but happens too often

This is an amazing pub. The interior lived up to its name with its high ceilings and spacious feel. I could imagine owls roosting in the rafters. While the staff were friendly and the food tasty there was one thing I was disappointed about and that is that the pub did not offer a discount to Blue Light card holders. There is a good quality car park that is shared with the adjacent shops and so there is plenty of free parking available.

Excellent value food and drinks, we didn’t wait too long for food even though the pub was busy. Service was absolutely lovely, all the staff were friendly and helpful and clearly work very hard.

Cracking meal, Fiona and Sienna are fantastic in their customer service. Will be back again. Dog friendly to do I brought the pooch.

Cheap and cheerful. Good service!

From on line booking, ordering, and eating was perfection. The menu selection is vast, the quality of food is great, and provides suberb value for money. The staff are a real asset to the company.

Dale was an hero- thanks for the great services, refreshing drinks and awesome food. Would highly recommend

Amazing family pub, big thanks to Dale!

Didn't have food but looked good

good service lovely food fast table service excellent staff

On a Sunday afternoon and if you don’t fancy cooking a Sunday dinner I highly recommend you go to the barn owl the food was great along with the service which was with a smile. Dale the manger was great and the staff

Great service and excellent service. Food was excellent

Very good portions,great to see chicken and mushroom pie on the menu as most only do steak and ale

The staff were very helpful and lovely. The man sorting out our food was so helpful, there was a couple of issues with the food being cold ( chips) and very dry (turkey) the tv was turned up very loud around 5:15 ish and ruined the evening as we couldn’t hear people talking on our table so we left.

Great local atmosphere,service was quick and food was perfect
