Gloucester Farm Shop and Kitchen

At Gloucester, we delight in feeding throngs of hungry motorists each year. Our approach to food has not changed from the simple ethos we worked to when Tebay first opened back in 1972.

It's important to us that our produce is local, seasonal and that our food is home-cooked.

That's why we make as much of our food as possible in our kitchens every day. It means we can choose what goes into recipes (and what doesn't) and that the end result reaches you quicker, fresher and tasting better.

At Gloucester, we serve lamb and beef from surrounding farms, source chicken and eggs from local producers and ensure that as far as possible dishes are influenced by seasonal produce - so don't expect pumpkin soup in April or asparagus in October. But we do promise mince pies at Christmas.

Kitchen: 7am - 9pm

Our Kitchen offers a range of homemade soups, hot meals, a healthy deli counter and salad bar, home baked cakes plus fair trade tea and coffee and freshly squeezed fruit juice.

Quick Kitchen: Open 24 hours daily

Our Quick Kitchen offers stews, pies, soups and salads plus sandwiches and cakes and fair trade tea and coffee to take away.

Lydney Park Estate

About Lydney Park Estate

Lydney Park Estate is situated between Gloucester and Chepstow in the Forest Of Dean. The original mansion house at Lydney Park was built by the Wintour Family who were prominent supporters of King Charles I. In 1719 Lydney Park Estate was acquired by Benjamin Bathurst and his descendants have owned it ever since.

In 1876 the family demolished the original road-side mansion house, moving to a new house in the centre of the deer park. In 1935 Captain Charles Bathurst was created Viscount Bledisloe for his services as Governor General of New Zealand. Rupert Bathurst is the fourth Viscount Bledisloe, his father Christopher having died in 2009.
