Food You’ll never go hungry on campus, but there are plenty of delicious options in Gloucester for when you fancy something a little different. From Café on the Cut, which offers tea and cakes on a barge boat, to Hubble Bubble Coffee House, a quirky, family-run snack bar, there are plenty of unique places to relax after lectures. Nightlife Enjoy rock music at The 2 Pigs, retro at Fever, pop at Moomoos or up-and-coming bands at Café René and The Frog and Fiddle. You’ll find sports at Lounge 72 and delicious craft ales at TANK.
