History

The Wharf House was established in 2004 in a pretty riverside location. Today, it is heralded as one of the best restaurants in the historic town of Gloucester. It overlooks the Hereford and Gloucester Canal and is owned and funded by the Canal Trust, so all the enterprise's profits are ploughed back into the Canal.

Launched back in 1992, the Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal Trust works towards refurbishing some of the forgotten, neglected stretches of the Canal and River Severn. Nowadays it is a registered charity, just one of the fantastic organisations that work towards preserving the irreplaceable British Heritage.

Facilities

The restaurant is available for partly or fully exclusive bookings. It can cater for up to 52 guests for a formally seated meal or 85 for a buffet-style arrangement. With its beautiful large windows letting in an impressive amount of natural light, and showcasing some of the greatest canal views, The Wharf House makes for a spectacular wedding reception venue. When booked for fully exclusive use, celebrations can be carried on into the evening.
