Cheltenham is a large Regency spa town found on the edge of the Cotswolds, best known for its picture-perfect townhouses and jam-packed social calendar; music and literature festivals abound, while guys and girls from across the town get dolled up for the annual Cheltenham Festival, a four-day long racing event which culminates in the Gold Cup.
While Cheltenham’s scenic gardens and historic buildings might appeal to young families and mature crowds, the town has also gained a reputation across the UK for its dynamic restaurant scene. It should come as no surprise that Cheltenham is home to plenty of great gastropubs and dining rooms in Georgian manor houses, but the area also boasts a number of more modern propositions, which have won over both the local crowd and tourists with the fun likes of bottomless brunch or by championing under-represented cuisines.
If you’re a little overwhelmed by all of the Cheltenham restaurants on offer, take comfort in the fact that we’ve rounded up all of the restaurants in Cheltenham that are actually worth your time (and money).
