About This Pub

Ah, The Regal in Gloucester is one of those Wetherspoons pubs that just hits the spot for a laid-back evening with friends. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's all about that great value – you can grab a pint of something like Carlsberg for just over £2.50, and there are some cracking deals on food and drinks that make it feel like a real bargain. The fact it's housed in an old cinema adds a lovely touch of character; imagine sipping your cider while soaking up the history, maybe even watching the boats go by if you're lucky with the weather. Folks seem to love the relaxed atmosphere and how welcoming it is for families, with plenty of space inside and out to settle in. On the flip side, a few have mentioned that the portions on meals aren't quite as generous as they'd hope, and it's busy as ever, which can make it a bit of a hustle during the rush. Overall, it's a dependable choice for us pub enthusiasts – not perfect, but it delivers on the essentials with a smile, and I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area for that easy-going, affordable vibe.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The prices are spot on for a good night out – you can get a pint and a meal without breaking the bank, which is always a winner.
  • It's got that charming historical vibe, being in an old cinema building that's been given a new lease of life by Wetherspoons – makes you feel like you're part of something special.
  • Plenty of seating both inside and out, plus it's family-friendly, so it's great for popping in with mates or even the little ones for a relaxed catch-up.
  • The atmosphere is buzzing, especially on a sunny day when you can enjoy a drink outside, and the service seems solid based on what folks are saying.
Cons
  • Some meals feel a bit on the small side, so if you're after a hearty feed, you might leave wanting a bit more.
  • It's your classic Wetherspoons experience – reliable but nothing too fancy, so it might not wow you if you're looking for something a tad more unique.
  • It can get pretty busy, which is fun for the vibe but might mean waiting around or struggling to find a spot during peak times.

This is typical Wetherspoons reasonably priced and worth the money, meals seem smaller but still just as good, this is set on Kingsquare in Gloucester, has plenty of seating inside and outside and smoking area, children friendly, this was the old cinema for gloucester, worth a visit.. We now come here a bit more. They do clear down alot quicker than Lord High Constable. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Did have issue with still frozen food then got taken back and came back still frozen. Kitchen Manager did ring and email to apologise and apparently has taken steps to ensure food safety. Sat here and watching waitress transfer sauces from one bottle to another which is against health and hygiene. To be honest it's disgusting. We also sat and watched while 8 meals sat under the warming lamps for 5 minutes and no excuses it's not that busy 16/04/2025. This is a really good wetherspoons but just little things like this not good. But do enjoy the deals and speaking to the friendly staff. Will still use. 18/04/2025. Nice to see a member of staff using initiative using trolley and lift to clear down. All tables wiped clean. And such a lovely friendly hardworking lady Carol. And she would be brilliant training the others apart from duty manager who also works well.

Another Wetherspoons I've previously been to many years ago, however did not review at the time. This is one of two branches in Gloucester. The Regal is a large branch of Wetherspoons situated in an old Cinema building, in King's Square, on the northern side of the City Centre. There is a reasonable sized garden area out the back of the pub. The bar area and coffee machines are on the left hand side of the pub, as you walk down the stairs at the front. On this occasion, I ordered a Vegetarian Breakfast, and a pint of Wolf Brewery 'Granny Wouldn't Like It' Ale - 4.8%. Total cost was £7.88. £4.99 for the breakfast, and £2.89 for the beer. The pint arrived within a minute of ordering, very quick! Food was a bit slower, arriving around 13 minutes after ordering. The food was well present and cooked upon arrival. Despite the recent price rises, still one of the cheapest places in Gloucester centre for food and drink.

We visited here a few times when we stayed in Glouster. For the prices the food and drinks were good, service was good and the atmosphere was good it's a very busy spot. If I'm back this way I will drop back in pint of Carlsberg 2.54 pounds about €3 good deals on food and a pint
