Wharf House, The

Nestling on the edge of the newly restored Herefordshire and Gloucestershire canal at Over, The Wharf House is an idyllic riverside location in Gloucester. While their standard, executive and luxury bedrooms are individual in their size and styling, the panoramic view of River Severn or Canal Basin is thankfully a shared benefit.

The constantly changing menu at the Wharf House restaurant features seasonal dishes such as noisette of fillet beef with a creamy peppercorn sauce, set upon oxtail and spring onion in red wine with a single Gloucester gratin dauphinoise, or sea bass served with an orange and citrus butter, and sautéed leeks. The attractively crafted desserts feature a dark chocolate cup infused with orange, served alongside a white chocolate cup permeated with lime and raspberry and accompanied by sweet butter biscuit thins, while the traditional crème brulee and pannacotta are ever present.
