"Usually love the Knobbly Cob, haven’t been there in years due to not living in the area anymore. Was really looking forward to having a lush sandwich and some snacks, however after waiting in the queue for 10 minutes, which was ok as it was peak lunchtime rush hour (there were only 2 groups of people in front of us as well! So not enough to reason the next wait time! We were told they’d only be a minute when we finally got to the front of the queue, so we were anxious to order our food. However 10/15 minutes later there was still no sign of anyone being able to take our order, there were 3 people behind the counter sorting out everyone else’s order. I commend them for this however it is ridiculous that none of them could take mine and my mothers order. Especially when we started making movements that we couldn’t wait any longer no one decided to try and stop us and take our order, they lost our service and our money and to be honest they won’t be getting it back. Used to be a lovely place but clearly it doesn’t really care for its customers service anymore, which in this financial climate is a silly notion to take. We did think to ourselves that we always try to support our local businesses but this particular one has lost our business in the future as well."

Looked after so well by Samuel and Sasha who provided excellent and attentive service. Thank you both for a wonderful dining experience, and the complimentary glasses of champagne. Now our go to place for dining out in Gloucester. Definitely 5 stars! Will be back soon. Samuel and Sasha both a credit to Cote."

"I pass by this place every time we head to Gloucester Quays, but today was my first time stopping in. It certainly won't be my last visit! The service was friendly, and the food was delicious. I ordered the sausage and onion baguette, and you could really taste the quality. It was served with a crisp, fresh salad and perfectly chunky chips. I’ll definitely be coming back the next time we visit the quays!"

The Cavern

"The Cavern in Gloucester is one of a kind. To a lot of people just passing by it is a very pleasant social cafe with reasonably priced food and non-alcoholic drink. The reality is that The Cavern is so much more than that. This is a place that is non-judgemental and focuses on inclusion for everyone. It has a lot of regular attendees including myself, many of which have mental health issues and/or some form of disability. The staff here (who are absolutely amazing) have a varied and wide understanding of mental health and what makes this place unique is that anyone can attend in the evening to talk to a member of staff about any issues in an informal and discrete way. Whilst staff are available anytime during the day there is a designated support area in the evenings which anyone can make use of. There are also various activities which The Cavern put on including an informal karaoke on a Sunday evening with mixed abilities of singers taking part. You don 't have to be a good singer as you will not be judged, it 's all about taking part. The Cavern has had a couple of bad reviews where it has been pointed out that there has been drug use and anti-social behaviour. Some of which may be true, however please bear in mind that some people who attend The Cavern may have mental health issues and conditions that may not be physically visible. The Cavern does not judge and is open to everyone. If The Cavern wasn 't so inclusive, then where would these people go? On the streets being Antisocial ? Getting involved in criminal activity? The safe space that The Cavern provides encourages people to attend and seek advice and support from a friendly staff team as well as other regular attendees who feel that The Cavern has a real family feel to it. Drug use is strictly prohibited and is challenged immediately. Whilst I accept that The Cavern may not run smoothly 100% of the time, I also know that the staff do everything that they can to support everyone who needs it. They are all very approachable and have the respect of people who feel able to open up to them about their problems and struggles. The Cavern is a safe space for everyone and if it was to ever close then Gloucester would lose a very valuable asset to the city."

"This small cafe is a hidden gem, perfect for meeting up with friends after running Gloucester North and City parkruns. There is ample parking in the nearby carpark for a reasonable £1.30 per hour. The staff at the cafe are welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home. While the food and drinks may be a bit pricey, the quality is top-notch and worth the cost. The full English breakfast, breakfast rolls, and cakes were all delicious and enjoyed by everyone in our group. One member of our party was vegan and wished there were more options for him on the menu. The staff even went out of their way to accommodate our group by asking another customer to move so we could all sit together, for which we were very appreciative."
