Restaurants in Cheltenham

Turtle Bay Cheltenham

Food was decent, most of them have some sort of spice to it so the waitress did mention to let them know if we can’t take spicy. Happy hour cocktail was really worth it; we got 2 for 1 promo. We tried three cocktails and a mocktail but the best was the passion martini.

Prithvi

This is by any standards a top restaurant. With friends for the Lit Fest who eat out/ fine dine UK/internationally. Their view - “best Indian restaurant we have ever been to” No - best restaurant” We were delighted to have brought them here. As always, really excellent service ( knowledgeable about food and wine without pretentiousness). A lovely relaxed warm team.

Lumiere

Absolutely exquisite food, Helen and her team are fantastic and really love what they do. All courses are beautifully presented and delicious!Will definitely be back to try their next menu!

East India Cafe

Lovely atmosphere - small and cosy with warm, low lighting. Expect to spend more but for an overall higher quality experience. The food is very impressive and tasty. Both the texture and taste was extremely good for all dishes I tried. There were fewer options than a typical Indian restaurant but everything I tasted was delicious. Small extras were provided between our courses which was a nice bonus. The staff were very attentive (and very polite) and it was very easy to get attention whenever we wanted. Very pleasant evening!Current parking restrictions are only up to 6pm so if driving here for dinner then there are lots of on street spaces available all down Montpellier street, for free.Parking: Current parking restrictions are only up to 6pm so if driving here for dinner then there are lots of on street spaces available all down Montpellier street, for free.

Purslane Restaurant

We came here for our wedding anniversary celebration, absolutely love the tasting menu. Seafood ingredients were fresh. It was a lovely little cozy restaurant and the presentation of food was good. I highly recommend this place!

Memsahib's Lounge

No better way than spending a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon than sampling the “Experience” tasting menu. Service is prompt and efficient whilst the Maitre d’ is on hand to tell you the history of the establishment. Particular highlights are the Chicken Samosa and The Indian Railway style Mutton on the Bone Curry. They even have there own Blonde Session Beer! What’s not to like - particularly on your birthday?

Sandford Park Alehouse

Really nice alehouse. Food was really good. So good I went back a second night and had the same thing again! Beer selection was brilliant. Surprisingly not too expensive either. Well worth a visit if you're ever in Cheltenham.

The Miller, Cheltenham

Ben, our server, went above and beyond. We joined The Miller for bottomless brunch and they made sure we were looked after! Very attentive without being overbearing and the food was delicious!!

The Mahal

Great place, a harmonised combination of great service , delectable food and tasteful ambience. Amazing hospitality by Bharat accompanied by vinod and venkat made our lunch date enjoyable and memorable.

Revival Cafe Bar & Grill, Restaurant

It was cosy and warm (cold night) and they served me a great steak. It has comfortable seating and good service so I reckon it deserves 4 stars. I nearly dropped them a star because they served a Gin & Tonic for my wife without lemon (had to ask) and there was no alternative to slimline tonic (yuk). I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this time but if it happens again, definitely going down a star.

MUSE Brasserie

Really lovely experience here for a celebratory dinner! The service was immaculate, and we even had a complimentary amuse bouche. The food was exquisite! Very fair portions for the price.

Chelsea Brasserie

We had a pleasant meal in congenial surroundings Fois freshly prepared. We enjoyed the cheese soufflesA bit quiet but Service friendly. Early evening on a Monday(nb deal in meals before e 6.30 which we missed ) .

The Gloucester Old Spot

We love Sunday roast here but celebrated my birthday last Saturday and had a chance to try other dishes we hadn’t tried before. Limited choices on the main menu but don’t forget to look at the lovely specials on the board.Great quality of food with produce from local farms but also come with a price. For £19.50, I would expect two sea bass fillets. They compensated the dish with a crab meat and prawn spring roll cut into two pieces. Some may like it but if I wanted sea bass, I preferred 2 fillets than 1 with a spring roll.We had a dog with us, so always sat in the bar area. Staff ok, more like trainees in the bar area, probably more professional in the main dining room.10% service charge we understood, not many people carry cash nowadays.

Dolce & Salato

Very welcoming and friendly staff.This was an unexpected visit but was pleasantly surprised.The iced drinks were amazing, very good value for money.Food was reasonably priced and tasty.Great service.Will definitely visit again to try their other dishes.Edit: Tried the Eggs benedict too. Environment was once again very friendly. It seemed like they had a lot of regulars too.

The Beefy Boys

I'd been recommended this spot by my friend and I was not disappointed when I had the opportunity to go. The menu is expansive for both food and drinks, and both came to our table quickly. The staff were definitely a highlight too. I think if you enjoy your first visit, you'll have plenty of excuses to come back to explore the whole menu.

Nasprias

Firstly, the pizza is great. Been a few times and never been disappointed - likewise the dessert. Secondly, I really like the atmosphere - lots of talking and it really feels like a nice community based restaurant. Staff are always really friendly and attentive. Cocktails are a nice addition, too!

Domaine 16

Their cheese fondue is to die for and staff is extremely friendly. We also tried a charcuterie board and some green vegetables which we thoroughly enjoyed. As for a little something extra: I don't think I've ever enjoyed and/or appreciated the music playing in a restaurant as much as here!

Hebe Restaurant and Cafe

Excellent, tasty sunday lunch at this hidden gem of a restaurant. It is not what you expect at the entrance to an apartment building. Very good quality food and portions. Staff very friendly and attentive. Worth the price.

Revolution Cheltenham

My wife and I just had a cocktail masterclass with Sam. What a fantastic experience. Mixing and trying cocktails. Sam was a great barista, very knowledgeable and fun. The cocktails were delicious. Overall a great experience... Might not think that in the morning though...

288 Bar & Wok

10/10 every time. Take away or dining it the staff are so so welcoming and friendly. The food is just fantastic & SO reasonable in price. If you’re thinking of visiting or ordering then you really must do so.Vegetarian options: There’s a whole vegan section which my family absolutely loved (they are vegan & said it was the best selection they’ve seen in this type of restaurant)

Sixways Wine Bar

Great Service. Excellent wine and choices of beverage for such a small bar. Didn't feel too cramped although it was at full capacity when I was there. Friendly staff and a chill evening all around!

The Coconut Tree Cheltenham

This is honestly one of the greatest restaurants I have ever been to in my life.Originally from Leeds, I had never tasted food like this ever. I have since brought several friends who I love seeing the speechless faces of, just like I was on my first time.How some people rate this less than a 5 I will never comprehend.Get here. Enjoy it. Bring your friends. Taste flavours you never had before. Wake up with a hangover that is worth it!!

Suffolk Rock

Nice place to eat, good food and drinks. The food was well thought out and presented in a modern way, a nice combination of flavours.The staff were nice but very busy so it took a while to get their attention.The venue was busy and they had some loud people in, so it was quite a noisy venue.

The Spectre

Popped in for lunch for the first time today. Definitely worth doing. A big menu to choose from. Had a lasagne, great value for money served hot and tasted great. Have found my new spot to eat when in town!

KIBOU Japanese Kitchen & Bar

Used Deliveroo while travelling around Cheltenham for work yesterday.This place was DELICIOUS!!!! Unfortunately, I was already half way through the beans before I remembered to take a photo ..... that's how good they were!

The Grape Escape Wine Bar & Merchant

Fun trying flight of five reds or five whites for tasting competitively with a group of friendsOwner friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.Not busy early Saturday

Apple Tree

Another fantastic family meal at The Apple Tree, Woodmancote. Great friendly service as always. Many thanks to John & Lette and all of the amazing staff for yet another amazing experience!

Karapincha

Delicious food. Had the black pork, goat and okra curries, coconut sambal with pol roti and tumeric rice. Every dish was superb. We had the beef rolls and fish cakes for starters and they were great too especially the fish cakes. Definitely recommend the goat curry, it was really superb.Definitely coming back here.

Victoria's

What can I say about Victorias, The food was made with quality ingredients, good portions and excellent service.The restaurant is is airy and had comfortable chairs. It has a lovely view of either the monpelliar gardens or the hotel garden. On the day we went (Saturday) there was live music from a musician who was got you involved with asking for a request and played a mix of genres to cater to everyone.The service I feel needed a special mention as we were served by 3 different people and everyone of them were accomodating, super friendly and fast with service.

Yates - Cheltenham

Thougherly enjoyed watching football on the big screenhere.Four people..four burgers four drinks £35.Staff were pleasant..atmosphere relaxed.No frills sports bar so exactly what's needed to sit back and enjoy the match.Can't knock it.thumbs up.

Shell

McDonald's

The place is always full, but still clean for the amount of customers that they have, the orders are quick and fresh, the staff is very friendly and polite and they are ready to help you out.You can order by the desk or by the screen.Nice range of MC products, we never had any issues when we did order from here.Vegetarian options: As any other MC they have a range of some vegetarian sides and burgers / wraps in the menu + plant base, we never had a problem with the MC Plant when we get it or any other vegetarian optionsParking: The MC have their own parking and is in a shopping center so is a huge car park, 100% you have where to parkKid-friendliness: The place is always full with kids and parents after school, they have tables for kids, kids chairs and some coloring books pages from what I did notice myself

The Meadow Café

Lovely staff, nice selection of food and good vibes. Seats inside or under cover outside and totally in the sun if you prefer. Nice park next to the cafe if you prefer a takeaway and Potter. Dogs welcomed. Great place to hang out if you're waiting for anyone who has gone for a hospital appointment.

The Umbrella

Arranged to have a baby shower here, and Kelly & Helen we’re absolutely fantastic from the word “go!” Despite changing my mind constantly on many things, they continued to accomodate and at no point ever made me feel I was an inconvenience! They provided a varied buffet for my guests and overall gave me a 5 star service. Would definitely recommend here for a private function!!

Hot Dog King & Waffles

Love, love, love this place! Their hot dogs, sides and milkshakes are always to the best standards and so delicious! Fast delivery, great food and for a great price, thank you! ?

Kingsbridge

You can't beat the price. It's the cheapest pub in bourton on the water. You definitely get what you pay for. The food was hot and delicious. It's nice to see the food was of good quality. You get a good portion for your money. The atmosphere was nice, a warm nice place to relax and spend time with loved ones. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back for another gin now I know you sell my favorite gin ever!

Daphne Restaurant

Warm welcome on a first visit to this place. The food was completely delicious, well presented and full of flavour. Good wine list at reasonable prices. Pleasantly busy and good ambience though the hard decor meant it was slightly noisy at times. Good varied menu with plenty of guidance, will certainly return for more.

Indian Brasserie

We absolutely loved Indian Brasserie. It's a great little restaurant that I used to go to a lot 10-15 years ago, but I haven't been there for a while. It was always nice, but now has had a major revamp and feels lovely and clean, as well as vibrant and fun and very well run. The food was amazing. We will be back there very soon!!

Lou's Cafe/Catering

Lovely little cafe, staff are very friendly. Had a light bite of beans and cheese on toast with a coffee before shopping. 2 slices of good quality brown bread, thick cut and very tasty filled me right up till tea time! What a hidden gem, will definitely be back. ?

Mel's Cafe

A quick and easy place to get a traditional cooked breakfast for very reasonable prices.It's on an industrial estate so I imagine it caters for local workers, but there was plenty of room and the service good. Coffee and tea come free with your meal which is a massive plus.Food 8/10Price 9/10Parking: There are a couple of spaces but the rest is street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair accessibility. It is up some steep stairs.

Paparrito's

Delightful food, great atmosphere and service. All at a really reasonable price.Does amazing gluten free options for my coeliac partner. Now just found out it delivers also! Amazing.Highly recommend this place to anyone, far exceeds the big chains like barburrito.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options are an absolute godsend when trying to feed my partner affordably, and quickly!

Benhall Fish Bar

Always freshly cooked and delicious. This is among one of the best in Cheltenham without doubt. It gets busy on a weekend at around 6 with all the delivery drivers picking up food, so you might have a bit of a wait.

Take Away Food Centre

Used it last couple of nights for takeaway and really can’t fault it. Special Chow Mein last night and sweet & sour king prawn tonight, both were good and nice sized portions. Street parking outside isn’t the best but there is space for a couple of cars.

Brewhouse & Kitchen - Cheltenham

Absolutely loved it. Me and my friend were greeted by Jordan who made us feel very welcome. I’m not a big beer drinker myself so he let us try samples of some of the top beer to help decide which one I wanted. He also gave as a bit of background of them all and told us about the in house brewery. Was not just a good place to go for drinks and food but an overall great experience. Will definitely be going to again when I’m back in Cheltenham!

Curious Cafe & Bistro

Such a lovely little independent cafe. Great service in a lovely atmosphere. The coffee was really good and I had the best scrambled egg and smoked salmon. Yummy. I was able to sit out to make the most of September sunshine. Thank you.

Subway

‘AIDEN’, cheltenham Highstreet branch. As a former Team leader in both the retail and health care sectors, I was incredibly impressed by the level of product knowledge and customer care from your in-store advisor ‘Aiden’ at the Cheltenham High Street Branch. Aiden took every care and went ‘Above and Beyond’ to fully explain the new sandwiches and advised on the meal deal options and allergens and created a welcoming and attentive atmosphere in store. A credit to your Team! Well done!

Kashmir Indian Restaurant

Really nice staff, very friendly and always happy to help. Food is a 10 out of 10, had the chicken tikika pathia and is hands down the best curry I've had actually addicted ?.The kashmire special nan is amazing too

Thai Emerald

Fantastic restaurant!We've been yesterday after having heard great things about it and walking by the door we felt catapulted in a thai paradise: the decor was really spot on , the staff even wore traditional clothing.The atmosphere was really relaxing and the staff really attentive and kind.The food was amazing, served in beautiful dishes.The price absolutely reasonable and great value for money.We'll definitely go back , thank you all to the staff that looked after us !

The Curry Corner

Ordered a huge takeaway for a family birthday. Discussed the order a few days before. Such good customer service and attentively dealt with all allergies and preferences. The food arrived on time and was all piping hot (impressive given how much there was). Quality of the food was excellent and they even got in touch to make sure everything was ok. Will order from here again for small and large orders.

Indian Voojan Restaurant

We called into your restaurant late evening and we were very impressed with all the meals ordered.We will be visiting Cheltenham again in December and will definitely book a table with you.Thank you for you fantastic food and service ⭐️

Subway

Visited this subway store this afternoon with my husband. The man serving us was very lovely and chatty, our subs we're perfect and he also enticed us into buying an extra lemon cookie which was divine. I would've given five stars if said sales assistant wasn't having to work alone. Management need to address this as it's just not fair to be so understaffed, especially at lunch time when there were deliveroo orders to be fulfilled too.

Bangkok Thai

Absolutely loved the food, it was delicious! The service was fantastic! Thank you Thim. Wish we lived closer as this would definitely be a place we’d return to again and again ?.

L'Artisan French Bistro - Café du Midi

Thank you Ives and Elisabeth for a delicious 3 course lunch celebrating my wife's birthday. Every part of the meal was prepared, cooked and presented perfectly, and we will come again. Many thanks.

The Railway

Excellent Thai food, but it can take a long time to arrive, even when it's quite quiet. Good drinks selection, trendy decor and a nice beer garden with covered seating and outdoor heaters.

The Strand

Great for trying different beers and ciders in a relaxed atmosphere. The staff know what's on and are super friendly. Enjoying the Northern Monk brews at the moment, definitely worth a visit!

Le Champignon Sauvage

An amazing culinary experience from start to finish - chapeau to chef and the serving team for making it such a memorable evening. The two hours we were here flew by.

Siam Smile

Haven't been to Siam Smile for quiet a while. Really pleased that it was as good as ever. The food was excellent and the service very obliging. Look forward to go back soon.

Tivoli Cheltenham

Six adults and a toddler went for Sunday roast, and I have to say the food was very good. Sadly, the service wasn't, I believe they were short staffed. We will definitely give them a second chance, as we live close by.Atmosphere lovely!

Rotunda Tavern

This was the surprise of my week in Cheltenham for the Jazz Festival. I had ignored it on my previous visits because it never really came up on the beer radar but was passing by and saw four ales advertised on the exterior board and decided to take a look and glad I did. My primary reason for visiting was because of its location dead opposite Montpellier gardens, which is the hub for the Jazz Festival with its three main concert venues and the large festival bar. The Festival Bar this year was sponsored and run by Purity, and as much as I am partial to a pint of UBU, I’m not going to pay the Festival price of £6.70 a pint. The pub has a traditional dark wood panelled interior which was formerly two rooms but now opened up into a main bar area and a connected room opposite. Each section is wooden floored and has a flat screen tele for the sports. It looks quite lived in in parts but the seating areas are comfortable. It has two vistas, the main entrance, which is on the main road facing the gardens and benefits from a large pavement area which is utilised as the outside space for the pub. It’s a lovely sun trap spot but you do get the world and his wife walking past. Then there is a second back entrance from Montpellier Street behind and this side has four outside bench seats along the pavement section. The bar supports four handpumps and during my visits Salopian Oracle and Otter Bitter were on all the time and Goffs Jester no 4 NZ Pale Ale, Goffs Cheltenham Gold, Butcombe Haka and Stroud Brewery Tom Long rotated on the other two. The Salopian Oracle was a fine pint and I tended to stay on this but did try the Otter Bitter and the Goffs Jester no 4 which were perfectly fine but not to my taste as much as the oracle. This is a very friendly pub and is epitomised by who I assumed to be the Landlord and Landlady who are helpfulness and cheeriness personified and a clearly running a decent wet led pub (the only food on offer are toasted Paninis and baps). The only negative for me was that the Gents are in the basement down a very steep set of steps and after a couple I decided to use the toilets in the Festival site rather than risk the descent.

Coco

hi good night on saturday I was there at the club, I asked a bartender to charge my cell phone, had to go with my friend to buy something to eat, but when I went to the au club, it was closed, I need my cell phone urgently, I use it a lot my cell phone for work , I would like to know how I could get my cell phone back , I can't wait all week to get my cell phone back , thank you for the answer

DEYA Mixed Fermentation Taproom

If you are in the region trying some DEYA beers in the main taproom, then you really mustn't miss out on this little mixed fermentation side brewery just round the corner. Around 7 or 8 beers available on draught all brewed a little differently but with amazing results! Bit of a hidden gem as I don't think many people know it's only round the corner from the main taproom but is really worth a visit. Seats around 40 people max with some dim lighting.

YO! Cheltenham

The food is lovely (we usually get the teriyaki beef as it’s our favourite) and the service is great most of the time. Occasionally you have to ask for things 2-3 times (eg tap water) but I understand it can get busy with deliveries etc.

The Moon Under Water - JD Wetherspoon

A banging spoons on Saturday in Cheltenham. Decent atmosphere complete with DJ. Although it's probably not one to go to if you want a quiet pint on a Saturday eve!

Balti Walla

Had a pickup takeaway. Food was on time and very hot. As a family we all had different items and all was very good. The order process was also good where they described the dishes we ordered. Will be back.

Circus Bar

Total surprise finding a Samuel Smiths pub in town. All their usual ales on keg together with an extensive selection of their bottled ales. Top class service from a bar person who knows a thing or two about the brewery. So pleased to have called in here ??

Imperial Haus

Wow - What an amazing place they’ve created here. It’s absolutely stunning!We were initially put off booking Imperial Haus as we assumed it would be ridiculous money but we had 50 guests attend and everyone had a fantastic night.Having hired our own singer we were worried about a DJ but the bar staff and manager on the evening, Hannah made sure there was a suitable playlist at all times. The service wasn’t the quickest as I’ve read in other reviews but the drinks were worth the wait.Planning an event can be super stressful but with Sophie on hand to help you don’t need to worry. She helped us create a night to remember. Our new favourite spot ❤️

New England Coffee House

Such a lovely coffee shop! I worked from here a few weeks ago on a visit from London to the Cotswolds. Such lovely coffee and staff! I also left something valuable behind and they posted it back to me - thank you so much!

The Old Post Office Guiting Power

Just right! We stopped for tea and cake half way round our walk on a lovely Autumn day. Friendly staff, great coffee, a good range of savoury and sweet treats, all in the setting of a quintessential Cotswold village.

Lakeside Takeaway

We were staying in Northleach and found this was nearest chippy serving gluten free food!! Great menu, helpful staff and even on a saturday only a short wait. Really enjoyed our

Spencer's Cafe - Cheltenham

This is where my wife and I will always go for refreshments whenever we are in Cheltenham. This may well consist of a full breakfast for myself as it is very filling and cooked to perfection. It also keeps me going via all the shops my wife likes to visit! Service is very professional, and we are always greeted with a smile. The constant footfall to this cafe is a testament to how popular it is.

Jolly Brewmaster

Not eaten here yet but it's a lovely pub. Great craft beer selection, including a gluten free option when I have been in. Lovely beer garden. Helpful and welcoming staff.

Black Cat Cafe

What a great little place! We stopped here for a cuppa and a bite to eat whilst out on gallery deliveries in the area.There is parking in the square right outside and it’s very easy to find.The space has a log burner and plenty of tables and chairs. There are also books to read and jigsaws too :)They provide tea and coffee with cake or biscuits. Also toast with butter and jam or alternatively cuppa soups and mug shots.All payment is by donation and there is a suggested tariff, but the atmosphere is very warm and friendly and everybody is very chatty.Thank you everybody, keep up the good work :)

Havanas Coffee

I love this independent coffee shop. Cakes delicious. Staff lovely and efficient.I ordered an iced coffee and a glass of water to drink in.ONLY QUESTION IS WHY SERVE the coffee in a single use plastic cup???? Water was in a glass.We cannot afford to do this to our planet anymore. Please please stop. Perhaps we could ask for it to be served in a glass in future…….. ?

Treats 4 U

Fantastic food. I particularly love the peri chicken burger, tender and really juicy. They also got a nice offer going on during lunch time if you are able to collect in store. Five stars?

Franco Manca Cheltenham

It is the place we come to for a kids treat lunch. The food is fast, and tasty. A lot of times there are great deals on so it’s amazing value for money. Staff are lovely too! Recently we squeezed in on a Saturday, at lunch, kids ate for free! So the four of us for £25 everyone fed and happy in 45 minutes. Every parents dream.

Poco Culina

Andy at Poco Culina catered our wedding in July. He created an amazing personalised menu that included dishes from all around the world. He was incredibly helpful leading up to the wedding with regards to finalising the menu and was patient with us whist we made lots of alterations.The food on the day was delicious, our friends and family haven't stopped talking about how much they enjoyed it.He was especially good at catering for our guests allergies which included 'no chili' on an Asian menu!Thank you Andy!

Kebaburger real turkish kebabs hause

Oh my goodness. Usually order from Bath Road places... never again.What a great meal. Order = easy. Delivery = 20 mins earlierFood = arrived hot!!! Usually have to microwave most deliveries.Driver = greatThis is my now go to place.De-lic-ous

Kings Coffee House.

This is a gem. They make really good coffee (it's amazing the number of cafés that don't) and their food is excellent and very reasonably priced. I had a chicken, ham, cheese ciabatta with salad and crisps and two flat whites for £9.25. Would cost double than in a coffee chain and wouldn't be half as nice. Staff are friendly and helpful. Well worth a detour if you enjoy a good cup of coffee. Parking can be tricky but worth persevering.Parking: Side streets 2 minutes walk

The Whitesmiths Arms

Stopped for Sunday lunch and a few drinks. Great roast, 50p pool, very friendly. Cracking old school local, not many left like this. Amazing historic building as well.

The Beehive

We held a wake here on 7 february 2018. The buffet was excellent, there was plenty of food with a good variety. The landlord and staff were most helpful, tea was provided on tap with tea bags and hot water provided, younless simply helped yourself. I can highly recommend it.

Chicken Inn

Always tasty food, big portions, and very nice staff. Highly recommended if you want a great fish and chips, or try the nice curry, rice and chips.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, you go straight into the shop.
