The Sword Inn

A child friendly pub serving food in Gloucester.

Details

The pub has traded since at least 1680 making it the oldest public house in Gloucester.

Half of the pub was once a tailors house where Beatrix Potter heard the tale about the tailor which later became her childrens book "the tailor of gloucester".

The building is 3 storeys from the inside but 4 from the outside of the top three windows the left and right one are fakes and the middle one only opens to a loft which is accessible by a door 10ft up a wall on the top floor.

The outside is often pointed out by tourists as the pub is mentioned in many local books.

Drinks

	Drink	%	Brewery
	Cruzcampo	4.4	Heineken
Cruzcampo is a pilsner style Spanish lager founded in Seville in 1904. Brewed with subtle hoppy notes, fruity characteristics and finished with Cruzcampo bitterness. It’s a fresh, crisp, easy drinking beer and a favourite amongst Spanish locals. Tasting Notes:
	Foster's	3.4	Heineken
Foster's is the ultimate ice-cold refreshment. Its balance of subtle fruitiness and vanilla is ideal for the sweeter-toothed lager lover. The perfect session beer to enjoy with mates. Tasting Notes: A light-coloured lager style, it presents full malt character with a balanced clean hop bitterness. Combined with a slightly hoppy, but yeasty/malty nose, Foster's lager is a full bodied beer with excellent drinkability.
	Guinness Draught	4.2	Guinness
One of the world's best-loved beers, with sweet smelling aromas of coffee and malt, from the first velvety sip to the last, lingering drop, every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between is pure beauty… pure Guinness. Tasting Notes: Smoothly balanced with bitter, sweet, roasted notes
	John Smiths Extra Smooth	3.6	John Smith's Brewery
John Smith’s Extra Smooth was launched in 1993 and is now the nation's number 1 ale. Tasting Notes: The boffins say it has a distinct cereal character, with malty, caramel notes being complemented by some fruitiness. But we just think it’s a right good pint.
	Thatchers Gold Cider	4.8	Thatchers Cider
Thatchers Gold tastes as good as it looks. Using the best of our traditional approach and modern techniques for a refreshing cider with a smooth appley taste and a bright sparkle. Tasting Notes:
