Harry Cook Free House in Cheltenham

Had a great evening watching the football with friends, was really lively! Thank you to both Jordan Harry and Jess for their collective service, me and my friends had a laugh and a great evening.

Had an excellent time at Harry cooks, the food was amazing, their burgers truly are great as is the calamari. Special thanks to Jordan and Harry for their service!!

Pros: - mostly good food - good location - friendly staff Cons: - slow service - some food not adequate A nice chilled, pub and food place. The location is casual, but still pretty and right opposite a local park. The service was slow; even...

Lovely service.. although denied me an espresso martini on the presumption I was ‘brown’ enough. Gin lemonade was amazing though

Amazing food and welcoming staff! Really lovely calamari starters with a fantastic boss burger and chicken pie! The gravy was to die for! Will definitely be coming back here again!

Managed to get a table on a very busy night in town due to the government eat out scheme. Was nicely surprised at the quality of the food. The half chicken was served in several pieces in a delicious sauce and my wife thought the...

Dropped in for a bite to eat, excellent food and excellent service, will definitely be heading back there soon.

Walked into Harry's Cook having no idea what kind of food they food but am glad we did. The food was fantastic with loads of flavour. The staff were also fantastic. Give Harry's Cook a go when in Cheltenham

My partner and I popped in for lunch to take advantage of the eat out to help out scheme. We were seated quickly and the waiter was very helpful and kind. We received our drinks and food quickly and it was delicious. They have plenty...

The 'Beyond Meat' burger was the best burger I have EVER had - meat or veggie! Melt in the mouth! The family loved their beef burgers too. Great chips. Lovely broccoli side. Friendly service. Pleasant outside seating. Looking forward to going back for the new...

Sat outside in the sunshine which was lovely. Felt safe a socially distanced. Reasonably priced drink. Only moan - very uneven table resulting in a lap full of beer!

Plenty of room, friendly and attentive staff, and good tasty food. Good choice of reasonably priced food and drink. TV on to watch the cricket, a lovely way to spend a lunchtime.

Staff were very friendly and helpful at all times whilst trying to book a table for the Race Meeting. The process for advance booking was explained and confirmed. On arrival our table was Reserved and Labelled with name and time of booking. The Service was...

The veggie burger and classic fries was rather amazing. Great venue. Friendly and attentive staff. Can't fault the place. Good prices and the six nations was on too. Happy days!!!

Early evening meal ... really nice food that was reasonably priced. Limited menu of relative pub grub ... burgers, fish and chips, chicken, pie, scampi etc. But definitely posh pub grub that was restaurant quality! It was a shame music was a bit loud ......

We came here for drinks before moving on to The Ivy. The food looked delicious. For someone who doesn't eat meat, I was seriously tempted by the roast chicken.

Opposite the festival area itself the pub was very busy. Managed to find a table though. The menu was clean although a bit difficult to figure out what extra went with which meal and what came with the actual meal. Ordering at the bar was...

Came across the restaurant during our first trip to Cheltenham. Amazing Sunday roast - all components were perfectly cooked and it was piping hot. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend to others and visit again if going to Cheltenham.

Usual pub like atmosphere with good grub and good drinks. Nothing outstanding, but when you’re looking to wet your mouth and fill your stomach, it’s a good place

Lovely to sit outside and be in the Montpellier quarter with its cafe culture- plenty of choice on menu to suit all - vegan, veggie, gluten free and meat lovers. Salad was ok - quite basic - coleslaw was lovely. Portions not over-facing - it...

Noticed I was over charged after double checking my receipt. Not much but went back to the bar to double check. Response was very disappointing, Our system doesn’t work when you order in the way you did was the response. Ok that’s fine but be...

Love this bar for the friendly staff and great selection of drinks. Love sitting in the window people watching as a great location. Entertainment on a lovely warm evening and a few drinks with a crowd of happy people. What more do you want. Visited...

Good quality burger and comfortable surroundings, but seriously miserable barmen who spoilt the ambience somewhat.

Having been out in the morning and missed lunch, we arrived at Harry's at 4pm ish. Not wanting to ruin dinner we ordered nachos, half expecting Doritos with a little side of a few dips. When it arrived we were delighted to see handmade nachos...

We live in the area and love to have a drink and some lunch on a Sunday to finish the week the right way! Last Sunday we went to Harry Cooks as the cricket was on. This is definitely one of the best places to...

We dropped off on impulse for lunch; which when we had it was pretty good. However, the staff who were on (around 1pm on Tuesday the 2nd July) were awesome. Very friendly, professional and polite

This is a small quirky bar which is a nice experience if there are no large parties in there if there are, especially young men, avoid it as it gets VERY noisy. The chairs aren't very comfortable especially if you are sitting in the corner...

Arrived at 10.05 on a quiet midweek night and the 6 of us were the only customers. Sat down with our drinks and a staff member then proceeded to bring in outside tables and stack them up VERY loudly a couple of metres away from...

We had an excellent glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc each on a lovely evening in Cheltenham. It was good to sit outside, but the table we sat at was in such poor condition that we were reluctant to put our glasses of wine on...

Would like to thank Holly,miles and Jon and the team at cheltenham for a fantastic Sunday lunch- We were a large family group and could not fault anything. The food was fantastic-especially the Sunday roasts with plenty of vegetables and gravy. The service was great-very...

We stayed in Cheltenham for two nights and went to this pub on both evenings. the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was tasty and the atmosphere pleasant. the bonus on the second evening was that there was a jazz trio playing.

Good pub in a very nice area of Cheltenham. Have been a few times over the past couple of years and it's handy for restaurants etc. Sunday lunch pretty good and beer prices not excessive. Stairs to toilets a bit of a challenge (like most...

My partner was very Disappointed that although this pub shows opening times from 11am, when he turned up for a reunion with 17 friends from all over the country meeting there they were told they didn’t open until 12 and would not serve them!! This...

Went with a friend for a few drinks on race week and only had one drink in the end, I have been numerous times before but the price of a drink was ridiculous, asked the barman if the prices were put up for race week...

Have eaten here in the past and always enjoyed very tasty food. Think the menu has been changed and not so much on offer, although the Scotch Egg was superb. The price for a bottle of house wine was extortionate though for the venue. It...

Second visit to a very good pub in a perfect location for posh Cheltenham people watching, We were lucky to be with two of them and were not disappointed. Lovely to find a pub with Timothy Taylor’s landlord on tap. Must be at the top...

Well this was just fab! Great value. Lovely Sunday roast. Plenty of yummy veg. Pink tender beef. Tasty jus. I just can’t fault this meal. Well done Harry Cooks !

Popped in at various times over the weekend. Good atmosphere and service. Enjoyed watching the rugby Saturday afternoon. Plenty choice of food and drinks. Will definitely return.

As a family group of 11 we had a reservation for 2.30 this afternoon. We had been to the theatre and admittedly were late for our reservation. We did call ahead and explained and were advised there was no problem. On taking our table which...

Called in here on a wet and cold Saturday afternoon in December. Got a warm welcome and great service, food looked great.

Called in for an early evening beer with friends. It is a pretty average bar, but pleasant enough for a quick drink.

Reasonable food and good beer in a popular hostelry. Staff are friendly and efficient. An enjoyable place particularly with friends.

This is a nice pub for a low key meal- seat yourself, order at the bar, delivery to the table. My sausage and mash was very good.

Visited pub with a crowd of seven on a week night. We just made it under the wire to order food. Six of the seven meals came out in a timely fashion but they forgot my wife’s order. Food has to be ordered at the...

I stopped in here for a couple of beers while in the area and I was very impressed by the level of service and quality of beer. I would definitely go again

Live entertainment on a Friday by a 2 piece band that are worth listening to. Mixed age groups in there though seems to be far more men than women. Can be hard to get a drink due to lack of bar staff so you'll need...

Lovely looking bar in a great location but gives the impression to the unknowing eye that it specialises in beer. I tried 6 different beers (5 on tap), 1 bottle. Every single beer tasted awful, each worse than the last. I tried to play safe...

We stopped here for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon and strangely it was really quiet. We chose a selection from the "special" sandwich menu. This included fries and a soft drink for, £6.50, excellent value! We had a club, fish goujon and cheese/chutney...

Popped in for some drinks after a birthday dinner at nearby restaurant. Sunday evening so fairly quiet but the barman was very friendly and they had a good gin section along with interesting real ales. Would return!

We popped in for a bottle of wine on Saturday night and had such a brilliant time. The band was incredible - what a voice! I grew up in Ireland and it reminded me of a big night out back at home - brilliant music...

Booked a table of 11 at Harry Cook for a Sunday night supper. From order time, to the first three dishes coming out was over 45 minutes (and had to be chased). There was then a ten minute delay before the next plates arrived. My...

We both enjoyed our meals here and drinks. We will be sure to re visit when the bands are on when we are next in cheltenham. Good service and polite staff.

We went to Harry Cook for lunch, but they were out of bacon/cheese and buns for their burgers so we went elsewhere. Returned there later that night and ordered burgers. Either the incompetent staff lost the ability to walk to the shops and get ingredients...

Visited on a trip recently - great selection of beers and information from the brewery, food was ok but a little greasy - we had toasties. Helpful staff

Been here a few times but only for an early drink before eating somewhere else. This time stayed til closing time and the atmosphere just got better as the night went on. Was a good night!!

Called in on my way home. Liked the look of the American IPA. The beer had obviously been in the pipes for a while because it was way above cellar temperature. The bartender said that he'd sold the beer but agreed that it was "a...

This place used to be my local. It had a vibrant atmosphere. Great food and great drink. It used to be a great place to watch football but they have made it quite clear that football fans are considered 2nd class citizens.if you are lucky...

Nice pub with friendly staff. Good selection of beers. We sat outside. The beer tasted good but I thought it was a little flat. It’s a great place to watch the world go by.

we visited this restaurant on a Saturday , the place was busy but the service was efficient and the sausage and mash was really enjoyable , my wife had a burger which she said was really nice.

Went here as had vegan and veggie options, and didn’t disappoint, also managed to get seat in window which is great place to sit and relax. Only downside was the service, slow at the bar and they weren’t friendly and looked like they didn’t want...

Looked good from outside so we decided to give it a go today. Ordered steak and chicken snichel. Food was beautiful. And the girl that was serving us extremely helpful. Very nice. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely go back again. Thank you.

Love this bar for the friendly staff and great selection of drinks. Love sitting in the window people watching as a great location. Entertainment on a lovely warm evening and a few drinks with a crowd of happy people. What more do you want.

Seating outside on both sides of this pub. One side overlooks the park on a busy road. Great place to people watch. The other side is on a quieter side road. Bit calmer. Decent selection of ales. Prices not too bad. 6.50 for a pint...

Enthousiasmés par deux expériences positives nous étions enchantés de retourner dans cet établissement à l'ambiance chaleureuse. Mal nous en a...

Enjoyed a very tasty lunch in this dog friendly pub. Staff were welcoming and the food was great. We had portobello mushroom, chicken and leek pie, served with roasted root veg and triple cooked chips - loved it. The pastry was buttery and crisp and...

For the cheltenham races, decided to walk down from town the atmosphere from the venue was great. The staff were family, plenty off seating outside the venue and great location. Would recommend this establishment, definitely would return

The burger wasn't half bad at a reasonable price and plenty of variety at the bar for winos and beer-heads. Plenty of tv's to watch the sport and a nice mix of old and young. 👍👍👍🐃

If you like to watch Rugby on a Saturday afternoon then Harry Cooks Free House is just the place. I went here with friends had a chilled Peroni on tap, Goujons and Freshly baked bread this snack was a little light on Goujons but enjoyable...

A dull dreary day in Cheltenham was brightened by a warm welcome at Harry Cooks. The young lady handled our drinks order with a friendly and efficient manner. Our lunch order arrived in good time. The meal was delicious, well prepared. The 'bar lady' (I...

Been to Harry's many times for drinks but never thought about eating there. Had a works do there before Christmas and full marks to the Harry's team for the way they looked after us! Food was very good and excellent value for money! Good atmosphere...

2nd time I have used Harry Cook for work gathering. Sam is brilliant - so Flexible and friendly ... infact the whole team are. The food is amazing and reasonably priced - live music brilliant. Sam even added a little karaoke to our section. The...

Went to Harry Cooks for our works Christmas meal. - approx 20 of us. Table area was a little cramped but we had our own corner which was great. The food itself was fantastic for the price we paid - huge portions, very tasty and...

We have a sister bar to this place in Reading and it's good so gave it a whirl. A great choice of beers and all round drinks. Craft, lager and ales all available and all vary by chatting to the bar man . Good place...

Went here for lunch with my family including the dog. A big attraction for us was the fact that the place is dog friendly. Having had a decent fish-finger brioche bun here a few months ago I thought we'd visit again. A bit disappointed to...

Chosen because of its dog-friendly attitude, Harry Cook offered a welcome capaciousness on a Sunday evening so that when we went to our table we were not overwhelmed with other diners already seated close by. The starters were most unusually resplendently filled plates - off...

I've been here on many occasions with friends and family and have always enjoyed my time at your funky bar. Fab and friendly service, great and reasonably priced drinks and the bands you have playing at the weekends always get us bopping away! :)

Wonderful service from the get go! I came in and the staff were there smiling and chatty with me. I was nervous as I came in as I was meeting someone for a date but I was put write at ease as the staff made...

Really great food and drink selection. Super dog friendly too with a water bowl and biscuits waiting

A warm friendly welcome, great selection of food and drink. Steak was excellent value at £14.50 and tasted wonderful. Really excellent bottle of Spanish wine for £22. Great value for money so we will be back.

I generally am fairly generous with reviews and give places the benefit of the doubt but alas, this has been one of the more unpleasant experiences in recent memory. It started with drinks. We asked for chardonnay and a diet coke with a slice of...

Whenever we get a chance to visit Cheltenham we always try and make it to Harry Cooks for food. Food is delicious and tasty. My husband had the fish yesterday and it was beautiful, thick & extremely white (sign of good quality as well as...

Fairly empty. Asked for Chardonnay. Didn't have any. Again!! Not a happy experience. Whole place looked tired and unwelcoming. Not like the old days when it was O'Neills!!

Buzzy feel, situated in Montpellier area of Cheltenham with some outside tables. Food was delicious with a happy and friendly bartender from Canberra, Australia. Highly recommend.

We arrived at 2pm and ordered our food by 2.10pm, but then waited 50 minutes for it to arrive. During that time three other groups arrived, ordered their food, and were served. Forgetting an order can happen and it would not have mattered on this...

As a large group (16) we quickly phoned ahead and within 20 mins they had organised a reserved table outside for us all where we could watch the world go by. The drinks were reasonably expensive and limited in choice but apart from that we...

We came for lunch with my stepdaughter and her fiancé. It was pretty quiet but the staff were very alert and eager to provide us with some excellent fayre and first class customer service.

The food here is good - when it eventually arrives!. Maybe it was an off day. The burgers and sides are very tasty, and deliciious puds.

Popped in for lunch on Saturday, friendly staff, good selection of beers and burger was excellent. Pub had nice vibe to it and we'll definetly visit again.

Popped in here around 6pm when on business here. It was a hot sunny eve and all the tables outside were full but the inside was nicely cool. The staff are very friendly and prices very reasonable, certainly compared to London! The menu is quite...

Great place for the atmosphere and mixed crowd. Really good range of beers and spirits. Ate here for the first time and pretty impressed. Good food for a decent price. Well worth a visit!

It was our first visit to Cheltenham and this place looked okay for craft ales and it was. The ladies beside us were eating what a huge vegetarian platter it looked delicious. We returned in the evening for beer and food both of which were...

Just finished the best burger I've had in a very long time. Good beer and friendly, enthusiastic, helpful staff (great music too!). As a bloke on my own in Cheltenham for work, I was made to feel very comfortable and welcome. I'm here for a...

Went here for a colleagues leaving drinks, was hungry, ordered the bacon, cheese burger and fries and it was delicious. The staff were great, one of them gave history of the place, very knowledgable and proud to work there. Excellent evening . Would go again.

We did not have food here but we enjoyed a few drinks and the live music!! The staff were friendly and the premises was clean!

Me and my group of friends we had a late Wednesday dinner around 8pm. Atmosphere was nice but food was amazing and seasoned perfect. I'm chef my self and I can tell that with all respect congrats to the chef!!

Visited twice. Great selection of beer and gin. The fish and chips was fresh and light battered. Mushy peas - who eats them anyway! Service is friendly and is conveniently located on Montpelier.

What a wonderful time. The experience couldn't be better.. everything was absolutely spot on!! We arrived around 8.30pm . We start with a delicious squid, follow by lamb and a juicy burger. The taste as absolutely amazing! Me and my friends where shocked with the...

Visited often as they are dog friendly, lovely food and definitely recommend good atmosphere and good for any occasion. love the cider especially!

We were in Cheltenham for the jazz festival, when restaurants can expect to be very busy, so we booked a table for 6pm, needing to leave by 715 as we had explained when booking. The table was indeed reserved, though there were squatters who ha...

8 of us arrived yesterday evening to our reserved table for our friend's leaving do, we bought a drink from the bar then sat down to order our food. we waited nearly 50 minutes so far for our food to notice that the table sitting...
