A showstopper of a taproom, set in a refurbished mid 19th Century town house on the Victoria Dock. Our newest premises is part of the multi-million pound ‘The Food Dock’ renovation in the heart of Gloucester.

Hop Kettle at the Dock showcases our diverse range of Beers over 6 Cask and 10 keg lines and has a fine selection of cocktails, spirits.

With a beautiful outdoor decking area on the dockside, this 3 storey building has a unique charm on each level whether you’d prefer to sit by the bar or take in the breathtaking views across the dock from the top floor.

We regularly host exciting food pop ups from the local area and further afield to compliment the drinks menu and your visit. With our drink selection paired longside delicious food and stunning views of the Historic Docks, you won’t want to leave.
