Cheltenham
Restaurants
| Name | Address | Genre | Website | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Beefy Boys | 70 Regent St, Cheltenham GL50 1HA (near Old Courthouse) | Burger | Website | Many outstanding burgers. Need to book to get a seat. Pizza Boy is the best burger. Have to pay seperately for chips but they're massive. Do not order 6 patties or you get COVID. |
| Fat Master's | 4 Regent St, Cheltenham GL50 1HE (near Old Courthouse) | Pizza | Website | Formerly Fat Toni's. Price-efficient pizzas - they're really good and the large is VERY big. Mainly a delivery place but doesn't deliver to Brockworth/Glocuester. You can always get a seat the resturant is always empty. |
| Bao + Bbq | 3 Regent St, Cheltenham GL50 1HE (near Old Courthouse) | Taiwanese + Texan fusion | Website | Order multiple small plates, clues in the name you get bao buns and pulled pork and the like. Could rack up a large bill if you eat more than average. Need to book has about four tables. |
| Paparrito's | 214-216 High St, Cheltenham GL50 3HF (near the Brewery Quarter) | Mexican | Website | Get a nice burrito real quick. |
| 288 Bar & Wok | 288 High St, Cheltenham GL50 3HQ (near the Brewery Quarter) | Chinese | Website | Not as quick as Paparrito's but still decently quick and good food, decent for if you're going to the cinema at like 7 and you go after work. |
| Meat the Greeks at No3 | 3 Bennington St, Cheltenham GL50 4ED (near the Brewery Quarter) | Greek | Quick, doable for a lunch if you're on training, incredible halloumi fries. Quite small fills up quick. Excruciating name | |
| The Bottle of Sauce | St James Hotel, 7 Ambrose St, Cheltenham GL50 3LH (inbetween High Street and Waitrose) | Pizza, Burger | Website | Pub that does incredible pizzas, other pub food, alright beer selection. You might end up being recruited for Foundry Zero or Trapdoor. They run a lot of events like karaoke but never been? |
| Bhoomi Kitchen | 52 Suffolk Rd, Cheltenham GL50 2AQ (near Bath Road) | Curry | Website | Very posh curry but very nice. Probably need to book. Slightly weirder dishes but really good. Swing for a celebration of success or take your parents. |
| Indian Brasserie | 146 Bath Rd, Cheltenham GL53 7NG (on Bath Road) | Curry | Website | More normal but still good curry on Bath Road. Might get away with not booking for smaller tables. Only serves small bottles of beer? |
| Curry Corner | 133 Fairview Rd, Cheltenham GL52 2EX | Curry | Website | MEGA posh curry, it's won awards and featured on a Gordan Ramsey TV show (in a good way). No alcohol at all, not bring your own and they don't sell any. |
Cafe
| Name | Address | Genre | Website | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bake & Brew | 217 Bath Rd, Cheltenham GL53 7NA (top of Bath Road) | Coffee, cake | Website | Lots of cake and baked good items, top of Bath Road so end of the mega walk. There's one in the Gloucester Quays too |
| Black Gold | 64 High St, Cheltenham GL50 1EE (bottom of Bath Road, near the corner Sainsbury's) / 208 High St, Cheltenham GL50 3HF (near Brewery Quarter) | Coffee, cake | Quality cakes. Bath Road one is smaller but better, but with the caveat that a weird creepy guy (the owner?) stares at you the whole time you're there | |
| Ritual Coffee Roasters | Unit 31 - 32, Lansdown Industrial Estate, Gloucester Rd, Cheltenham GL51 8PL (near the train station, same business park as DEYA) | Coffee, cake, breakfasts | Website | Trendy cafe with really good cake, go after the KGV parkrun |

| Planet Caravan | 25 Bath St, Cheltenham GL50 1YA (near Delta Place and the Sainsburys on the corner, not near the brewery quarter) | Beer, vibes | Website | Trendy pub with a good 10-12 rotating craft beer selection.
