Quick info
About The Lock Keepers
The Lock Keepers is an independent, family-run restaurant and hotel on Horseshoe Drive in Gloucester, set in a location where countryside walks begin from the doorstep. The kitchen runs a Sunday lunch alongside a regular menu that includes a vegetarian option and a gluten-free fish and chips, with puddings to follow. Dogs are welcome in the venue, and a yellow-signed route along Horseshoe Drive guides visitors past the roadworks to the door. The setting draws walkers and diners arriving straight from the surrounding paths, and the family-run approach shapes both the kitchen and the rooms on site. Booking posture is not specified, so it is not stated here.

“We have just had a brilliant Sunday lunch. Service was excellent and there was a tasty Vegetarian option and delicious puddings. Only small downside is it was quite loud in the restaurant area for us.”
