The Grace

Why we love it

Wander up Gloucester Road far enough and you'll discover The Grace: a proper little oasis of calm amidst all the hustle and bustle. Walking into The Grace feels like taking a step back in time – not in a phoney, olde-worldy, gimmicky kind of way, though. The Grace is simply the definition of a 'proper pub'. There's beautiful stained glass windows, comfy, squashy leather seats, fireplaces and twinkly lights aplenty, making it the ideal place to hunker down in the winter months. In warmer times, though, The Grace boasts a simply stunning beer garden, with tables and plants galore. Whether you're after a classy cocktail (or three), pints of real, locally brewed ale and cider, or craft beers, The Grace is the perfect place to while away an afternoon.

If you're looking for something to eat, The Grace do a simply legendary Sunday roast. Perfectly cooked meats, enormous portions, and veg that has been treated with love and affection – these are the real deal. There's also a heavenly tapas menu; globally inspired small plates which are perfect for sharing with loved ones over a few drinks.

If you're after a relaxed, friendly local boozer that also dishes up cracking food in stunning surroundings, then this is your saving Grace.
