About The Lock Keepers

A canalside spot in Gloucester where lunch doesn't feel rushed — handy when you've got a toddler working through a plate at their own pace. There's free parking, buggy access and high chairs, a kids' menu, and outdoor seating on the balcony with river views, plus a canal path right there for the walk that burns off the wriggles afterwards. The staff are warm and genuinely knowledgeable about allergies, taking real time to check details, and vegan options are on the menu. Food people rave about: the thick-cut house ham with egg and chips, fall-apart topside of beef on Sundays, fillet steak with peppercorn sauce, and the cheesecake. Worth knowing it gets noisy in the middle of the room — ask for an edge table if your lot need calm, and book at weekends.
