Bao And BBQ in Nuneaton and Bedworth

Love this place, have been several times now. It’s popular. Quite small but spread over multiple floors. Food is magnificent. Staff attentive and professional. We had booked dinner for 3 and at short notice on the same day we enquired if the booking could be increased to 6 people and they were fully accommodating. Had a great evening.

What a fabulous find for a lunchtime snack. Welcoming staff, great choice of dishes as we only wanted a small lunch and this was perfect! The beef and crispy duck boa buns were very tasty and the bang bang cauliflower, spicy slaw with a cheeky glass of fizz was delicious. We will definitely return!

We wanted a delicious meal on a day out in Cheltenham and Bao + BBQ delivered in spades. Fantastic everything - ambience, food, service were all perfect

Great find with a varied and different menu. Service was good and decor was lovely. The Bao Bun were delicious but the Chicken wings were something else.

We cannot recommend BAO + BBQ highly enough. I’m delayed in writing this review but it’s so deserving it’s worth the effort. We were looking for an impromptu lunch on Saturday 6 January.
When we arrived we were greeted warmly & immediately shown to our table. Somu, our waiter, was very attentive and explained how the menu works as we hadn’t been before. 
All the food was full of flavour, fresh & delicious, I struggled to name a favourite or one we’d leave off next time (as there will definitely be a next time!) I fancied a glass of red wine and Somu’s recommendation was excellent. My husband and I are big fans of other restaurants in the JM Socials Group. Every meal we’ve had with these guys has been faultless, I don’t know how they do it!

We had a New Year’s Eve meal, the food was fantastic, atmosphere was lovely and the staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful with the menu choices. Very looked after by the manager and her team.

We popped in for dinner, it was a warm welcome from a lady We choose to go for BA0 COMBO Very good deal ,and food was awesome,service was to the point ..Till we leave the staff so friendly.

A group of 8 of us are here and I can’t recommend enough! Micky was incredible! I am allergic to dairy, soy and egg and they catered to me with no issues and the food was incredible!! Could not recommend enough!!!

Hi Ovidiu, Just like to say thanks to you and all your staff we all enjoyed our time there it’s a fantastic restaurant and the food was delicious.

Visited at the weekend with my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday and it was amazing! The food was great, the service was brilliant and it’s a really nice/warm setting. They even bought out a cake and candle for my boyfriends birthday. Couldn’t recommend it more - can’t wait to come back!

Made a booking online on 4th September - purely to come for the bottomless brunch for my husband's birthday. Arrived today to be told rudely by the disinterested front of house gentleman that we had a restaurant booking only and that the chef was not prepared to accommodate us for the booked brunch. Ruined my husband's birthday treat - will not be going again!

The food was amazing, we didn't do it justice, I think the platter for 2 with a couple of sides would easily feed 4 people. Some of the food is spicy but very tasty. Also great margarita followed with a very nice bottle of white wine. It is pricy but worth splashing out on

Disappointing lunch. Service erratic. Components of meal didn't arrive together. Portions small. Intended to be shared dishes, although we only chose to share one dish. Very few fellow diners but had quite a long wait to order desserts. Both the main courses and desserts were tasty, but something is missing here.

My partner and I went for dinner here last night and it was amazing! Beautiful bao buns along with the most amazing side dishes. The atmosphere was lovely and the service was faultless. Thank you for such a lovely evening we will definitely be returning!

Came here for a birthday meal recently and had a great experience overall. 👍The staff were really welcoming and friendly and very helpful with the menu. 👍I liked the vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant 👍The food was all really tasty and fresh, I enjoyed everything I had. I had the mushroom bao, the slaw, the aranchini, and shared the miso corn and Korean fries. All great veggie options. 👍they gave us a free pudding for my partners birthday which was lovely of them 👎the food is overpriced in my opinion, and the portions are small so I would recommend at least 4 dishes per person which works out quite expensive I would recommend this place for people who like to share food as it comes out whenever it’s ready so it makes for a better dining experience if you order food to share here.

I reluctantly visited Bao + BBQ last night with friends. I was reluctant having seen the price but as it was a special occasion we went for it. I am so glad we did! The service, food and even decor were excellent. The food was...

Came on a Saturday, service was decent but whole set up is very odd. £32 for two courses is expensive for what you get, the smoked flavour tastes odd and is incredibly overpowering. Would not recommend for anyone, very expensive for very average food.

Restaurant is lovely and the food presentation is excellent. Unfortunately some of the food was really very poorly cooked. We have been twice and had the same experience both times. They were adament that the meat was slow cooked and naturally smoked but I find...

Lovely evening Great food, nice atmosphere and good service. Looking forward to trying it out for lunch tomorrow it’s friends too

Lunch time treat with my girls. Had popcorn as a nibble on the table whilst selecting food - a tasty unexpected extra Went for the £19 lunch 2 bao and a side. We had CORNFLAKE CHICKEN, DRUNKEN CRISPY DUCK x2, LONGHORN BRISKET, PONZU MUSHROOMS, BBQ...

Amazing food, amazing service - get the chicken wings…you won’t regret it they were phenomenal! We will definitely be back

Food was amazing! The service was friendly and attentive and we felt so well looked after. The drinks were fab, and the atmosphere was great! We will definitely back.

Tried this place on recommendation and glad we did. Greeted at the door and shown to characterful 1st floor dining area by the lovely Alice who was professional and friendly throughout and took time to go through and explain the menu for my gluten-free options....

Amazing service and amazing food, such a friendly atmosphere and the staff go above and beyond, will definitely become a regular visit! If you’re in the area you have to try it out!

Amazing food and service, worth the price, people have to realise you pay extra for good food, good drinks and good service

We had lunch there with my daughter and all dishes was very tasty and very good . Very good atmosphere and cosy restaurant . The service was very good with perfect recomandation .

We enjoyed the food we had from here a lot but there were no main courses that we particularly fancied so we had 3 items each from the small plates part of the menu. We were still charged the £32 each though. That was for...

disappointing.... and strange... the food had mixed reception in the family...two thought was mediocre, while one thought great. the big disappointment though was the time to get the food. the people who chose to have a main course and desert waited a long time to...

This used to be one of our favourit places to come with freinds,,, What was good was the "Normal" Menu where you could order ANYTHING. We used to love the starter menus, and nearly alwways tried all the Bao's and Kimche etc. This was when...

When we visited this restaurant previously we were blown away, unfortunately our visit yesterday did not live up to this. The service was good and food lovely. However, staff are now dressed formally and the music much less relaxed creating a somewhat pretentious, ‘trying to...

Very kind to squeeze us in for dinner despite its popularity. Soma was very friendly and efficient in his service and food was very good as always.

3 courses of pure pleasure. Flavour combinations spot on - mains from the smoked section were the highlight. Head chef was a total boss and a great experience to see him and the team working so passionately together. Service brilliant. Coming back.

Went here for dinner on a Sunday night with family. We were pretty excited considering this was the first proper Bao Bun place in Cheltenham so we had high hopes. The first thing I noticed about the restaurant is that it was empty with only...

This restaurant was a welcome addition to the fantastic food scene in Cheltenham. We went with high expectations, particularly because we are fans of the other restaurants run by the group - Prithvi, Bhoomi and Holee Cow. Unfortunately we we left pretty underwhelmed and even...

I was so excited to finally get a table. I love bao. I love bbq. This sounded like it would be my dream place. On arriving it’s like a gentleman’s club. Dark, low lighting, smells of wood, fire and leather. Interesting choices. It was nice...

I'm crazy for food and come across this place online and booked a table for sat night while in Cheltenham. Greeted by staff on arrival and shown to our table. Nothing on the menu is individually priced so there's an option of 2 or 3...

We had heard good things about Bao & BBQ but not all lived up to expectations. Greeted nicely and shown to a table in the upstairs room. Nicely decorated in greys and nicely lit. Service was pleasant but they were nervous and a little unsure....

Fantastic food! Went for the Masters Feast and it was great, definitely get your value for money and lots of different bits to try and all of them were delicious. Tried lots of different cocktails too, all of them great. Staff and atmosphere lovely too.

The best food i haven't eaten in ages - there were 4 of us and we are definitely going again, infact already booked. Thank you

The first time we visited here in mid 2021 we were blown away by how good it was with a really different offering of delicious, flavour-packed food. But recently the menu options have reduced (you can no longer get a selection of small sharing plates-...

Incredible food, wonderful atmosphere and super friendly and informative staff. Me and my partner ordered a starter, main and side each and then shared as we wanted to make sure we could try as much as possible. We were not disappointed - it was super...

Outstanding feast… Took the family and everyone loved the food. Superb bbq within the centre of Cheltenham. Service was excellent, well informed whilst relaxed.

The bao bunns were fantastic!. The rest avarge at best. 35 min wate between starter being picked up and mains being served. Mains were small. You can pick 1 side with the main. We went with Korean chips. Not the best to be honest. Its...

My partner and I visited Bao + BBQ for the first time this weekend. The food we initially ordered came out very quickly - a mix of the more ‘starter’ style dishes. It came so quick that we’d been seated, ordered and eaten within 30...

I’ve come here a few times now with friends and by myself, the food is always really good, everything I’ve tried has been fresh and delicious especially the Korean wings, Duck bao, and tender stem broccoli Service and drinks are always really nice too, though...

I had a pre theatre dinner with a girlfriend last night. We ordered several small plates to share and each one was amazing. The bang bang cauliflower was perfectly spiced, the belly pork was sticky, smoky and sweet and the bao buns were light and...

First time me and my partner visited. Amazing food and good service. The location is lovely and the decor in the restaurant is really nice and modern. It had an open kitchen so you could see the chefs cooking, It felt like a little London...

Food was brilliant, waiters staff were really attentive and helpful picking dishes and all was very reasonably priced I thought. Ordered enough so we all left full - and it was all delicious. Top work.

Fantastic food and lovely atmosphere. Our waiter was really friendly. We ordered a selection of the small plates/bao buns/sides to share and everything was delicious - the bang bang cauliflower and cornflake chicken bao in particular. If you have room for dessert the miso caramel...

Great spot to grab a quick and tasty lunch. Small and trendy venue. Lovely cosy atmosphere, tasty food and good service. My son has a nut allergy and they were very helpful in accommodating our requests. I had the pork belly bao, very flavourful with...

Without giving too much away, Its best to go with a fellow meat eater or fellow veggie,, WHY Wel the Bao buns are an absolute delight, Order all the ones that sound good, And slice them in half. Plus the picles are wow too. We...

I’m almost lost for words. One of the best meals I’ve had in sometime, intense flavours great service. Great to see more Korean restaurants as it’s possibly my favourite Asia cuisine. It deserves to be a massive success.

No further notes needed. I’ve eaten at what feels like every place in Cheltenham and I have personally crowned this the best.

Amazing staff , amazing food, amazing cocktails.A lovely ambience would highly recommend a visit . We will definitely be back Thank you

Absolutely wonderful experience at Bao and BBQ. The space was so lovely, I love being able to see the kitchen and what was happening. The atmosphere was perfect. The menu was explained to us so we didn’t order too little. Had Bao to start, the...

Absolutely amazing food. Loved it. Barbecue with a twist. The mushrooms bao was awesome along with the korean fries and BBQ chicken. Will 100% be back.

Really nice food with lots to choose from. We stuck to the small plates and ordered lots to share. Chicken wings were great and so was the bang bang cauliflower, really enjoyed the bao buns to, pork, chicken and the duck. Cocktails were beautiful 👌

We booked here bay cause it was very close to the theatre. Great location for this. Cool and funky restaurant with a great atmosphere. All the staff were fantastic and so helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. We have a few shows booked this year...

Things were a little slow but…. Cocktails were delicious (forgotten the name but basically a Moscow mule with tequila instead of vodka). Food was SO great. Favourites…. - Cauliflower - Duck Bao - Slaw Also really liked the buzz here too

Staff were very attentive and friendly. Clearly well trained. Food was good but very messy. Finger bowls would have been helpful. You are encouraged to order a selection and share but practically that was quite hard as most things we ordered were a single piece...

Loved it - beautiful flavours, great service and well priced too. Well thought out menu and can't wait to go back

Fabulous meal at BAO & BBQ. Food was all so tasty & service was excellent at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend the Broccoli in Misto butter side dish

Absolutely amazing. Came late for a single Bao but they were happy to accomdate and cannot wait to come back for a full meal! Would recommend! 😀

Absolutely blown away by the food here. So much flavour to every dish. Highly recommend the mushroom bao and the barbecue chicken. Will 100% be back!!

If I could give 6 stars I would. Food was delicious and presented beautifully, worth every penny! Staff were all professional and knowledgeable while remaining approachable and friendly. 100% will be coming back to this place when we are in Cheltenham again.

Excellent lunch, great service! Warm, stylish decor and ambiance! Will definitely recommend and return with family and friends!

The food was amazing! It’s something completely different and just what Cheltenham needs. The staff were really friendly, and the portions were generous (despite what other reviews say). We ordered the bao selector which was absolutely delicious. We also had the Korean twisted doughnut for...

Impromptu visit whilst shopping, we ordered Bao bun with brisket and spare ribs which were main courses. The flavours were lovely but portions very small. Just 4 spare ribs and 1 bao bun with 3 slices of brisket. The staff were friendly and attentive, restaurant...

The food was absolutely delicious, service was brilliant and very reasonably priced. Cannot rate it enough!

We visited Bao and BBQ (from the expanding JMSocials group who own Prithvi, Boomi etc) a few days after opening. The decor is luxe, warm and inviting, the staff attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. The buns were great and there’s a decent...
