There's a golden opportunity to go on a taste adventure and try somewhere new for a delicious bite to eat in Gloucester this autumn.
Gloucester BID has teamed up with a range of restaurants across the city for a Foodie Passport challenge launching this September 2025.
From Monday 15 September to Friday 31 October 2025, locals and visitors are invited to dine out after 5pm and collect stamps in a Foodie Passport to be in with a chance to win some tasty prizes.
Diners will get the chance to sample everything from sizzling street food and Mediterranean magic to hearty pub favourites and global bites.
Restaurants confirmed so far include Aroma, Dr Foster, The Fountain Inn, Spago, Cafe Rene, Island Bites, Coal Kitchen and Topoly's.
At Gloucester Food Dock Kinn Kinn, Elote Tacos and Chuck Burger are also taking part.
Foodie Passports are available at any participating restaurant.
Diners who eat out in the evening, from 5pm onwards, at any of the 12 venues can collect a stamp with each visit. Once diners have collected six stamps to complete the passport, they will be in with a chance to win a Gloucester Gift Card worth up to £250. There are four prizes to be won.
Owners of Dr Foster, Dorian and Edwin Kirk, said: 'We’re really excited to be part of the Gloucester Foodie Passport this year.
'It’s a fantastic way to showcase the amazing food and drink Gloucester has to offer and we can’t wait to welcome both locals and visitors to Dr Foster.
'There’s never been a better time to explore the city’s independent food scene.'
Owners of Topoly’s, Roya Heravi and Leila Heravi, said: 'We can’t wait for all of this to unfold, it sounds really exciting and we're glad to be a part of it.'
Manager at Gloucester Business Improvement District, Emily Gibbon, came up with the concept to help showcase the city's culinary scene.
She said: 'We wanted to spice things up in the city and give people a reason to explore after 5pm.
'The Foodie Passport is a fun, feel-good way to support local restaurants and enjoy great nights out along the way.'
