Boudicca’s Celtic Pub in Gatlinburg

Boudicca’s Celtic Pub: A Unique Taste of the Isles in the Heart of Gatlinburg

While Gatlinburg is well known for its classic Southern comfort food, those seeking something off the beaten culinary path will find a delightful surprise at Boudicca’s Celtic Pub. One of only two Celtic-themed dining spots in town, Boudicca’s offers a warm, inviting pub atmosphere with hearty fare, a curated beer selection, and a welcoming environment for families and pet owners alike.

A Cozy Pub in a Hidden Corner of The Village

Tucked into a charming corner of The Village Shops, Boudicca’s is a hidden gem easily missed by those sticking to the main strip—but it’s well worth seeking out. Centrally located with convenient access and nearby parking, it’s an excellent stop whether you're exploring the area during the day or looking for a relaxing evening meal.

Though compact in size, the space is filled with character. Guests place orders at the downstairs bar before heading upstairs to the intimate dining area, which overlooks the picturesque rooftops and cobblestone paths of The Village. The cozy room is adorned with Celtic memorabilia, from Scottish crests to quirky décor like beer keg stools, setting the tone for a distinctive dining experience.

Signature Dishes with Authentic Flavor

Boudicca’s menu highlights traditional favorites and Celtic-inspired twists. Here are a few standout options that keep patrons returning:

  • Fish & Chips – A pub staple done exceptionally well, featuring hot, flaky fish served with thick-cut fries, tangy tartar sauce, and malt vinegar. While the portion size is modest, the quality and preparation shine through in every bite.
  • Bangers & Mash – Guinness-marinated sausages served with buttery mashed potatoes, caramelized onions, and rich Irish gravy create a satisfying, flavorful dish that embodies classic comfort food.
  • Beer Cheese & Chips – A pub favorite, this creamy, house-made dip is crafted from a proprietary blend of cheese, beer, and spices. Paired with fresh, crispy fries, it’s ideal as a snack or appetizer.
  • Scottish Street Melt – A crowd-pleasing signature sandwich featuring melted cheddar cheeses, grilled peppers, onions, and an Angus beef patty on a toasted potato roll. Served with seasoned fries, it’s a standout for both flavor and originality.
  • Off-Menu Steak – Guests in the know often ask for the expertly prepared steak that isn’t listed but comes highly recommended.

Boudicca’s culinary credibility is further reinforced by its 2022 GatlinBURGER Week Award, earning top honors among 16 contenders—a testament to the kitchen's mastery of pub-style cuisine.

A Family- and Pet-Friendly Atmosphere

The pub is designed to be inclusive and relaxed. A kid’s menu features reliable favorites like chicken strips, burgers, and fries, ensuring even the youngest guests leave happy. Even four-legged family members are catered to, with chopped steak served in a special dog bowl.

Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal, a quick snack, or simply a pint of quality draft beer, Boudicca’s delivers with consistency and charm. Keep an eye out for rotating specials and off-menu items—frequent surprises that offer even more reasons to return.
