The Dick Whittingtons Gloucester

27/10/2025

It’s not easy to write this, but the time has come to close the doors of The Dick Whittington. 💔

We want to thank every single one of you who has walked through our doors over the last year— for your laughter, your friendship, your support, and the memories we’ve shared together. This pub has been more than just a place to grab a drink; it’s been a home for community, stories, and history.

Sadly, with trading conditions becoming tougher and costs continuing to rise, staying open is no longer possible. We’ve done our very best, but it’s simply not viable to carry on.

The Dick Whittington is a beautiful, historic building, and we truly hope it doesn’t stay empty for long. It deserves to continue being part of Gloucester’s story.

For now, we’re taking a well-earned rest, and carrying with us the warmth and kindness you’ve all shown. From the bottom of our hearts — thank you. ❤️
