We went as a group from work for a last minute lunch. They were very accommodating and whilst the food is not the cheapest, the Tavern burger was delicious!

The food was ok and was reasonable good value for money. However the service was a bit slow at taking drinks order's from us and clearing the table of glasses. There were regular bottles of water provided. There were15 of us and we had preordered the 3 courses.

Ribs so good I was left questioning my life choices and why I dont have that level of joy on a daily basis only negative being my girlfriend ate half, however, lessons learnt, she wont be coming with me again so I can enjoy the full experience.
Waiters were also phenomenal and generally a greater atmosphere with music going into the New Years. Thank you to all your team.

Popped in for an impromptu lunch. Seated immediately, food, ambience and atmosphere was great. A gem of a find and best kept secret for weary Cheltenham Christmas shoppers. 👍

Amazing. Called in because we were looking for craft beer and a snack. Ended up having an amazing meal. Butternut squash and goat's cheese risotto was so delicious. Loved the pine nuts. My husband said the Korean wings were the best he had ever had and the chilli cheese fries were good too. Oh!! and the beer was excellent!! Great service. Good atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!!!
