The Linden Tree in Gloucester

Ah, The Linden Tree – it's one of those pubs that really pulls you in with its cosy feel and the kind of staff who'd make any newcomer feel welcome, like you're part of the gang from the get-go. I've heard from folks that the landlady's a gem, always up for a chat, and the atmosphere's just spot on for unwinding after a long day. The quiz nights sound like a proper hoot, raising money for good causes while you enjoy a few drinks – it's those little touches that make it stand out. On the flip side, though, it's not all roses; some have mentioned the place feels a tad outdated, with uninspiring food options and a few maintenance issues, like the toilets that could use a freshen-up. Then there's the seating changes that've left it feeling a bit crowded and less comfortable for lingering conversations. Overall, it's a solid spot for a casual visit if you're in Gloucester, but it might not wow you if you're after something more polished – still, with that 4.4 rating, it's worth popping in for a pint and seeing for yourself.
