Brown Jug in Cheltenham

Greeted by Rosie who was wonderful.the roast lamb was excellent with a great selection of well prepared Veg.washed with a well kept Madri will be be coming back for sure.

Great pub for watching sports with a huge area at the back with two large TV screens. They have a great selection of ales & wine, so you can't go wrong. Cheers 🍻🥂

Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. The beef and lamb roast was plentiful and absolutely delicious. Dog friendly. Highly recommended.

Wow- we struggled to find somewhere to eat and were so lucky to find this amazing little pub. We had the lunchtime special and the standard of food, service and ambience was outstanding. Thank you!

Sunday roast was excellent! Great staff! Highly recommended. Note that Sunday roast service ends at 4 pm.

Food beyond expectations for a kerbside Bath Road pub.

Lovely local pub, great atmosphere. Personally would've liked a bigger selection of local drinks (cider) and food was only ok.

I hosted a charity quiz night with my workplace at The Brown Jug and the whole thing was fantastic. Rosie and the team really took care of us! We had the bbq buffet menu and the food was brilliant with delicious meat and vegetarian options. We will definitely be going back!

Wonderful High street pub.Gewat staff and Quality home cooked food..

Excellent tasty home cooked food, large portions, great service!

Last Sunday, four of us went for lunch, and it was exceptional! The best I've had in years. Everything was perfect, the red cabbage even better! Can heartily recommend the Broen Jug for Sunday lunch, will be returning!

Home from home experience, Really lovely pub setting, Fantastic staff & management. The food is undoubtedly mind blowing, Great if you’re on your own or with a group, I’ll be back for sure!

Fabulous food, lovely hosts - just perfect!

My recent visit to a Cheltenham pub for Sunday roast was outstanding, placing it among my top three dining experiences in the area. Opting for the mixed beef and lamb, I was served a perfectly portioned, flavorful meal. The meats were succulent and well-prepared, avoiding the common pitfall of being overcooked. Accompanied by generous sides of potatoes, beans, and red cabbage, the meal was a delightful mix of tastes and textures. The staff's friendliness further enhanced the dining experience, making the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Based on the quality of food and service, I highly recommend this pub for anyone seeking a top-tier Sunday roast in Cheltenham. I eagerly anticipate my next visit.

Great food good service will go back again

Fantastic food and great service. Highly recommended if you're in the neighbourhood

Extremely poor quality and poor value Christmas menu.

Back room was freezing but the food was excellent

Went for the quiz night and ate some Korean chicken wings that were some of the best wing's I have ever had and a very tasty sticky toffee pudding. They had some nice ales on tap and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Best Sunday dinner in the world. Honestly it's the best thing going. Staff are the best in the world too. Lovely pub 11/10. Always a pleasure in there

As amazing as always, one of our favourite pubs and can't recommend enough

We had Sunday lunch here and are both vegetarian,the meal was lovely,lots of sides,the red cabbage and cauliflower cheese were particularly good,great service and staropramen on draught,a perfect Sunday

Lovely pub on the Bath Road. Friendly staff and regulars

Sunday roast, wow, amazing quality, plentiful quantity, underselling, as cost for what you receive seems unbalanced. Am slightly reticent about leaving this review as it may make The Brown Jug so sought after I would struggle to get in, but the owners / staff, deserve it for such an amazing experience.

Incredible roast, so much food and super reasonable pricing! Will definitely return

Sometimes come with my partner to play pool. Staff are nice and the atmosphere is great.

Amazing Sunday dinner! Staff are lovely and welcoming 😁 called ahead to ask if they had room for 2 and when we got there a table was dressed ready for us! Definately visit again 👍

Went to their first comedy night in association with Crackers Comedy clubs. It was sold out with the only tickets available were standing room only! Rosie, was really welcoming and friendly. The food was great and the drinks were not too expensive. The Comedy was top class with the headline act Iszy Lawrence bringing down the house with some quality joke. I would recommend the Brown Jug and highly recommend Crackers Comedy Club events!

Yummy Sunday roast one of the best I've had in a while

Nice place. Friendly staff kid friendly

We had the most delicious Sunday lunch here! This was our second meal at the pub since its new owners and just wow! We will be back, often 😆

We live in Cheltenham (Bath Road area) so have loads of places to choose from. The Jug is one of our FAVS. It’s a local pub, with authentic home cooked grub and always a warm welcome. It’s changed hands a few times and finally in the hands of people who know their stuff. Highly recommend it ~ grab a cold pint, play a spot of darts, scoff amazing food and go home happy

They serve a good pint of Guinness, seem ok not tried food.....

Closed early on a Saturday night! Staff friendly and beer good

A lovely little pub. Had a great time there. Plenty of atmosphere and good beer.

Tried all the cafes in bath road. Brown Jug beats then hands down for food.

Although it was a quiet lunch time atmosphere was friendly and service excellent.Had lunch chicken and mushroom pie with creamy mash and seasonal vegetables, everything was hot and very tasty

THE BEST PUB IN CHELTENHAM!!! Good food, good drink, amazing staff. Pop ups on the days they don't serve food working with loads of local independent street food businesses, all do amazing food themselves. They show all the big sports games too and even have live music nights 🙌 They have it all!

Had a birthday party in the the games room, the meal was nice my dessert was lush

Congratulations to Rosie & Avi as the new owner of this awesome local pub on the Bath Road. Had the Roast Sunday Lunch yesterday & it was outstanding. Highly recommend. Katrina & Sean x

Fresh food, fab booze and lovely staff :)

Brilliant to see this lovely pub up and running ,brilliant atmosphere the beer is fabulous and the food is excellent.

Great place to watch the rugby, dog friendly. Worth booking though as it gets very full (all just adds to the atmosphere though)

Grestvrugbybonbtv send food and Wiltshire beer.

Nice pub with friendly staff. We even had table service for the second round. There were plenty of TVs showing football.

Great range of lagers, good customer service, good ambiance and great location on the bath road cheltenham, must go to place for a beer and the sport on a night out. Very lucky to have such a great pub in cheltenham

Brilliant band, Brilliant atmosphere, Brilliant people,Brilliant time had..Just a Brilliant local for the locals...

Good beer friendly staff, good atmosphere, and they have horse racing on

Magnificent properly the best Sunday lunch I’ve ever had 10 out 10

They try and do a great job another place go there. Good atmosphere to be in

Great local, not my local, but a good one.

Excellent pub, great food, and a really good pub quiz

Had Sunday lunch here. Good service and food ok.

What an amazing find. First time and won’t be the last. Best Sunday roast I’ve ever had. Excellent service. Lovely staff a pleasure all around.

Had Sunday lunch recently. Generous portions of meat and good selection of veg. Make sure you book as really popular.

Good pub friendly welcome and dog friendly and excellent food

Good quiz but the food wasn't that great.

Wow wow wow. The roast dinners here are just something special. Average 1 a month and the service is fault less great staff chatty and helpful. The food is always and I mean always on point. The roast dinners are presented incredibly and taste amazing. The chefs have the magic touch. Love sitting in the back room, sport on in the back ground never to loud just perfect on a Sunday.

Excellent Sunday roast,really helpful efficient staff.Great value will definitely back more regularly.

Great roast dinner with family and friends .Lovely food,Great staff and hosts ,who created a perfect atmosphere and worth every penny .

Lovely staff, big venue so you can either sit somewhere quieter or with the crowd. I really really recommend chicken burger, it's juicy and tender but cooked through.

Absolutely fantastic food and service it never disappoints...

We had really nice Sunday lunch and great atmosphere.

The Brown Jug is blessed with some great staff who are very attentive. They have well kept Wadworths Ales, and have good honest pub food (which is hard to find these days). A Bath road favourite highly recommended.

Excellent food very reasonably priced. I would recomend it

Omg the Sunday lunch it amazing, great staff and service. Beer and lager choices are spot on too.

Nice little pub with friendly staff and good food.

Nice pub on Bath Road, good for sport and a sensible Sunday dinner, staff are lovely.

Great steak and ale pie ! Nice pub, friendly atmosphere and good food.

Lovely meal using local produce and an excellent host. Perfect evening 👌

Stopped off here to watch love music Great venue to visit not much parking if you drive here but the staff are really tentative and locals are very welcoming

Great as usual, staff polite, will be going again.

Great atmosphere & staff..entertainment was great,

Lovely food and love staff. Staying at a local Air B&B and had a recommendation for dinner here and we certainly weren't disappointed and all the girls were really chirpy and friendly so a really lovely experience. Thank you 😊

Fantastic Sunday lunch.. Exellent service.. Defo will be returning soon.

Amazing staff and amazing atmosphere

Lovely bar staff. Few pints of Strapomen Friday afternoon in the front garden area, sun shining down. Good vibes and good prices.

Cannot fault any part of our experience at the brown jug. We were booked in for Sunday lunch and were greeting by such friendly staff who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable , especially with the covid measures they have put in place. The Sunday roast was incredible, possibly the best I've ever had and the cheesecake was amazing! Have already recommended the brown jug to others and will definetly be back soon!

It's a friendly pub but disappointed about the social distancing. The people where I was sat were under a metre away. The gents toilet has both toilets available allowing other people to be close without any controls. Food and drink is great but i don't feel safe here during the pandemic. Sorry.

A lively proper local with a good range of beers, very good food and cheerful and friendly staff.

Friendly staff. They don't make you feel like lepers and service was prompt and the prices where reasonable. Small pub friendliness with a smile.

1st visit and will be back. Super roast dinner and pudding to follow. Lovely attentive staff.

Great place to watch the sport, good drinks and fantastic food

Just the best Sunday lunch around, the mixed meat with plenty of vegetables roast pots and all the trimmings great food in the week to Can’t beat the steaks here ,Service is very good and great Covid clean Well done Brown Jug

Very clean food really good and staff very polite and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Nice pub , great food , and nice helpful staff

Burger was really good, chips and sides just as nice and quality big screens to watch the football. Not 5 stars because it was a bit cramped for room and getting through to the table was awkward. Definitely would go back.

Fabulous people trying to make the very best of the current situation. Great pub back to its best

Amazing Food. The chef really knows what he's doing and give you a great portion 😃😋👍

Monday 10th August, we arrived for our meal at 6pm and had ordered at around 6:20pm. At 7:30pm. That's an hour and a half of having been there (1 hour and 10min after ordering), before the food arrived. It's a disappointment that no one bothered to inform us of a wait, until we asked. With a toddler in tow, this isn't the service I'd expect. By the time his food arrived, it was his bath time, but of course having been there for an hour and a half already, we'd have normally expected to have left by then. My wife and mother in-law left at 8pm as it was really getting too late to put our toddler to bed. Our entire evening and night had been ruined by the immense delay. That night, as his routine was completely off, he hardly slept. Simply not what I'd expect. Due to the wait, we also decided to skip dessert. At the end of the meal, the server (after complaining again) gave us our drinks for free, which seems ok, but for the peanuts it would cost (especially on the 50% government scheme, this was a smack in the face). The table behind us got their entire meal for free due to the issue. I'm not after a freebie, but a genuine apology and effort put in to improve the situation goes a long way. The food was ok, but due to the wait and awful service, we won't be coming back.

Friendly bar staff good selection of beers didn't get time to sample the food but looked and smelt delicious.

Lovely place great staff perfect atmosphere love it. Like home from home highly recommended

Great food sensibly priced , good beer, nice atmosphere

Friendly staff, good service and good quality food

Very lively pub, with excellent service from all the staff.

Great place. Staff are all incredibly professional, yet walk the line of being friendly at the same time. Definitely does not scrimp on portion sizes with food, which is always amazing. Good selection of sports shown. Overall just a really nice pub, better than the image of the "local"

Awesome pub, recently bought back to life under new landlords. Great beers, friendly bar staff and lovely fresh food cooked to order. The Sunday roast is to die for! They always show major sporting events with food readily available. They also have a regular quiz with a quiz master of some distinction running the show. There is a great room available for private hire as well. Everything you need for a great pub!

If you need a local this is the place! it's stepped up the game, great place friendly staff. Food is good and worth the price and any event or day always nice to visit. Rugby world cup and breakfast great combo

Hemos regresado a Brown Jug varias veces desde que la gerencia cambió. ¡No nos ha decepcionado! Hemos comido allí tres veces recientemente y la comida ha sido consistentemente buena. El ambiente es excelente y hay una cálida bienvenida para todos los que visitan el pub. ¡Es amigable con los perros y muy humano! Hay escalones que suben al pub y escalones a los baños, así que no para las personas que no pueden manejar las escaleras. El menú es bueno y esperamos muchas más noches allí.

Visité el cuestionario anoche. Esto solía ser un asunto agradable y con buen ritmo, ya no. El maestro de cuestionarios está claramente bajo las órdenes del nuevo gerente de "encadenarlo". Esto se volvió tedioso y vergonzoso, ya que todo se repitió en numerosas ocasiones. Nos fuimos temprano y no volveremos. El reparto de la comida del cuestionario ahora también se ve disminuido y limitado a pequeñas papas fritas y pizza. ¡Cuando su elección de cerveza se limita al rango de Wadsworth, tiene que hacerlo mejor que esto!
