Hedleys

Hedley's Sandwich Bar and Tea and Coffee House is a long-running city-centre institution on Westgate Street, one of Gloucester's four Roman roads and the route that leads past the cathedral and into the historic core of the city. The shop serves freshly made sandwiches, baguettes, cakes and hot drinks, operating as a daytime business, Monday to Saturday, closing in the mid-afternoon. Reviewers praise the freshness of the food and the quality of the coffee and cakes — scones and salads draw repeated positive mentions. The location on Westgate places the shop within sight of the cathedral and close to the mix of independent retailers and historic buildings that make this one of the more characterful streets in Gloucester. A well-established option for city-centre workers and cathedral visitors looking for a quality lunchtime stop.
