A True Gloucester LANDMARK
Nestled in the shadow of Gloucester Cathedral, The Pelican Inn is a proudly traditional, family‑run pub with a well‑earned reputation for exceptional beer. Taken over in 2012 by Wye Valley Brewery and Landlord‑extraordinaire Mike Hall, the pub has grown into a thriving, award‑winning ale house with a loyal following. As one of WVB’s historic tied pubs in Gloucester, The Pelican remains a cornerstone of the local beer scene.
Today, The Pelican serves an impressive ten real ales — mostly from Wye Valley Brewery — alongside a rotating selection of guest beers, craft keg, proper cider, and an ever‑growing range of cans and bottles. Its dedication to quality hasn’t gone unnoticed: crowned CAMRA South West Pub of the Year 2022, Gloucestershire CAMRA Pub of the Year 2020 & 2022, and City Champions seven times in the last eight years, it’s a must‑visit for anyone serious about beer.
Mike has also doubled down on championing local produce, from beers and spirits to ciders and snacks - including what many argue are the best pickled eggs on the planet.
With its warm welcome, unbeatable beer selection, and proud commitment to local flavour, The Pelican Inn is the kind of pub that keeps beer lovers coming back again and again.
