Licensed as an alehouse in the 17th-Century, people believe that some of its beams could have come from Drake's "Golden Hind" which began life as the "Pelican". Rescued and refurbished by Wye Valley Brewery in 2012. Real fire on cold days. Gloucester CAMRA Pub of the Year 2018 and Cider Pub of the Year 2018.

Dating from 1679 and Grade II Listed. The pub has always been known as the Pelican Inn though for a brief period (under the ownership of Banks's Brewery 1995-1999) it was called The College Arms.
