The Royal George Birdlip GL4 8JH Just on the top of the hill, a chain but a nice one. Most recent OC pub lunch destination.
The Royal William Cheltenham Road, Cranham, Stroud GL6 6TT Hot rock pub, burgers are nice too.
The Green Dragon Cockleford, Nr Cowley, Cheltenham GL53 9NW Further out, but been on a couple of OC pub lunches. Nice fireplace.
Foston's Ash Inn The Camp, Stroud GL6 7ES The mysterious other OC pub destination.
The Weighbridge Inn Longfords, Stroud GL6 9AL 2-in-1 pies! They're amazing and massive.
The Turmut-Hoer Mead Rd, Abbeymead, Gloucester GL4 5GL Chain (Sizzlers), but cheap burgers and convienient location. Contender for JackPub™?
The Wagon and Horses Wagon and Horses, 87a Hucclecote Rd, Hucclecote, Gloucester GL3 3TP Best pub for a cheeky unofficial pub lunch, i.e. closest to the office that isn't terrible. Another Sizzler.
The Golden Heart Birdlip, Gloucester GL4 8LA About as close as the Royal George, v.good food and a fire(!!) but a bit small.

The Coconut Tree59 St Paul's Rd, Cheltenham GL50 4JASri Lankan tapas - order two or three different bowls and you get a surprisingly large amount. Half price Monday-Wednesday maybe? Insanely cheap if they still do it.

The Cheese Rollers Shurdington Rd, Shurdington, Cheltenham GL51 4TN Acted surprised and insisted we "should have called ahead" for wanting lunch at 12:00pm on a Friday. Food was awful. UPDATE: Apparently under new management, send interns to investigate.
Twelve Bells Twelve Bells Beefeater, Ermin Way, Gloucester GL3 4SS Beefeater you can see on the way to The Royal George. Just dissapointing, too far away for an unofficial pub lunch, and there are much better options for a sanctioned lunch.
