Friar Tuck’s Quedgeley
One of the best breakfasts I’ve enjoyed in the city was the large version at Friar Tuck’s. Friar Tuck’s is a pub that opens early every day and offers plenty of food options, which you can enjoy with a beer. My meal includes sausage, bacon, egg, hash brown, black pudding, fried bread and toast. I have been recommended this many times and was impressed by my visit. Friar Tuck’s is on the Bristol Road in Quedgeley and right next to the number 12 bus stop if travelling from Gloucester or Hardwicke.
