Lovely setting but can’t comment on the food because every time we’ve showed up at 1oclock on a Sunday they’ve run out of roast dinner. This has happened on 3 separate occasions now, with a booking every time.

Called in for lunch, really nice setting, quiet when we were there, lovely greeting from the team , gave us a nice table by the fire. It was warm and cosy, no tv screen, large dining room with plenty of places for a little privacy. Lunch cooked fresh, I had brisket sandwich & fries, my wife had salt & pepper calamari. Drinks came promptly, I had coffee ( rich & delicious ) my wife had a fruit soda she enjoyed. Food arrived in about 20 minutes and was good. The staff provided an excellent service for the entirety of our visit.

We go to The Barn Owl fairly frequently, for Sunday lunches, family get togethers and the occasional evening meal. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming, the restaurant always spotless, the waiting staff are really happy, attentive, and nothing too much trouble for them. Today we went for Sunday lunch, and as always welcomed with a smile, and a hello. The roast beef I had was not just tender and tasty, but there was plenty of it, the same can be said for the Turkey my partner had. The roast potatoes were great, and the vegetables were cooked brilliantly. Oh, and the Yorkshire pudding was epic! I might not cook Sunday lunch next week! A really lovely treat out!

The bartenders were amazing, kind and such a pleasure. This was our first visit to Barn Owl and we will definitely be back. As visitors, we were exploring for places to go when we visit our son who lives in Gloucester and they made us feel like we were part of the family. The food and service was wonderful and our pints were served cold and with warm smiles. Excellent place and even better people! Highly recommend!

We've been here multiple times.. we live very close, we are some what regular but wouldn't say we are "regulars". We've been at varying times of day/time of year, and we've always been looked after. We had a terrible experience at a local venue tonight, and left without having eaten. We spoke to Ben behind the bar explaining our experience, he gave us some food and dropped us a voucher for some money off our next visit. This was not his problem, but it's small acts of kindness like this that make a huge difference to my perception of an establishment. A great person, with great people skills and great service. Ben is a great person to have working in a front facing roll. The barn owl has always given us a pleasant experience and tonight was no exception. Also, a big shout out to the waitress Debbie (I hope that's spelt correctly) as she has looked after us multiple times. You will never find a happier, friendlier member of staff, anywhere. Nothing is too much trouble and she's a lovely member of the barn owl team. Thank you Ben, Debbie and anyone else we've ever dealt with here. Your service is the reason we will always come back to visit. Thankyou.

Thank you again for having the best customer service, top marks 👌🏼

The Barn Owl is my local and I'd regularly come for a meal with my husband at weekends. When my husband passed, the Barn Owl was the obvious choice for people to come back to after the funeral. The staff organised an area for us, and had even left a card and flowers for me. They were brilliant at organising a tab for drinks and bringing out meals together for everyone who had ordered separately. And the food, as always, was excellent. Thank you.

It was fairly busy the night we visited, but there was only one staff member to take orders and also serve at the bar. This meant nearly a 10 minute wait stood at the bar just to order our food. Didn’t realise until later that we could have order from our table, but I personally find this method poor, especially when in a group of people who all wish to order and pay separately. It’s much easier to open a tab and order all together. Waiting staff were good and friendly, although took a while to clear our table! A few of us had deserts and they came to the table whilst all the empty plates from the mains were still there. The food was nice! But that’s pretty much all there is to say about it. Everyone agreed it was simply alright, but nothing special. I had the surf and turf. Steak was well cooked, but a few scampi as the surf left it lacking. I had another one recently in a nearby pub which was £1 cheaper but been used kings size prawns in breadcrumbs and was just a bit more refined in general. 2 other members of the party both had the burger with pulled pork in. They said that the pulled pork didn’t really add anything to the burger and that it was more just like an additional BBQ sauce as opposed to being extra meaty. However, it hit the spot, and we had a good time, so I guess that’s the main thing. Unfortunately, due to the slightly underwhelming food for the price in comparison to other local places we have visited recently we would probably choose not to select here when deciding somewhere to eat.

We've eaten here before and it's been good. Not so today. We ordered a sausage brioche bap and a bacon, sausage and egg brioche bap. For the two plus a water it came to £17.50. I'd have been happy with that if the two meals had arrived with some sort of salad or garnish, but no, bap on bare plate. Both brioche baps were quite stale. The service was good but it was pricey for poor food. Not surprisingly it was empty other than us, on a busy Wednesday lunchtime in a prime spot in the centre of Gloucester.
