Harry Cook in Cheltenham

This is a fantastic spot for a relaxed pub experience. We visited for a few drinks. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a great mix of classic pub charm and modern touches. The staff were friendly and attentive, made us feel welcome.

Walking through cheltenham and chose to go in for a beer and some dinner. Lovely atmosphere and ambience with a variety of different beers on tap and the food was quick, great quality and tasted amazing would strongly advise if your ever in the area.

A quality Venue in Cheltenham which seems to have only improved since its refurbishment in the summer. Plenty of screens for live sports and live music on weekends make for a good atmosphere. The staff are always friendly and look like they enjoy working there which makes a big difference. Decent selection of beers available and food menu has plenty of variety to choose from.

Pleasant ambience, good music (80s). Staff were very attentive and pleasant. Food was excellent. I had the pork belly and hubby had chicken and bacon burger.

We went on 10th Jan 2025 lunch. The service was terrible, absolutely no atmosphere. The staff were, miserable, we had the impression the staff couldn’t care less. When we asked for the bill we had to go to the bar to pay, with a wave??!!

Terrible place, staff are rude and unhelpful. They also shut when they want with no warnings.

Lovely atmosphere - great starter, lovely Camembert Great staff Wide variety of options Catering to a large party was very well handled! Thank you for having us!

lovely food the pork from the set menu was delicious , lovely staff, very helpful, lovely atmosphere which made the night.

Amazing food and lovely staff. Atmosphere was lovely in the evening , very xmassy. Great range of choices in the menu for everyone.

Really lovely food and great atmosphere! staff were amazing all evening 😊

Hosted a team meal here the food was amazing. Service was top tier

Had a great time watching the rugby would recommend!

Amazing venue, great place to watch sport!

Great atmosphere and food is great

We paid £17 for a chicken burger and chips. Which is already expensive! When it was served, the burger was tiny with barely any chicken in. Disappointing, especially for £17 . We won’t be going there again.

Amazing live music sat night. Issues with Sunday dinner were resolved quickly with great professionalism. Couldn't have asked for more to compensate than full cash refund & wine & deserts on the house. Brunette waitress was extremely apologetic & courteous, really good at her job. Thank you for looking after us so well & for not letting a kitchen issue ruin our experience. Pork roast was insanely good 👌🏼

Great place, good food and ideal for sport.

Nice pub despite being part of the All Bar One chain. Staff are nice and selection of drinks is good.

Used to like this place. Then they got a refurb, and now it's £6.80 for a Peroni. Won't be going back again. This is Cheltenham, not London.

Great pub , service and beers. Good Pub grub if you want it.

Lively location especially on race days with many television screens going. Food ok bar snack and bites, price midrange. Great night 12th September open again after refurb, lovely evening with band playing, free beer and wine, open again so come on down.

Visited harry cooks last night (Monday) to see the refurbishment it looks incredible. Staff was as friendly as ever was served by Jordan. Will be back very soon for food

Pleasant pub for an early evening drink before heading out to the town. Drinks good value and busy enough around 6pm

Great friendly service from the barmaid Jess. Loving the cocktails

Great place for lunch or just a drink, great staff members and it’s in a nice area to socialise with friends, partner or family and the best thing is they welcome dogs

Beer tasted rough. Sort your lines out.

Amazing vibes, came for Sunday for the England match and perfectly paired with a Sunday roast. Lovely meal, great service and staff very attentive even during the busy times. Can't thank them enough!

Went to watch the footie on Sunday and was a spectacular energy - good atmosphere, attentive staff and a lovely roast - no better way to watch the euros

Thay are very friendly the food was very good and the best of all thay are pet friendly to the staff was very helpfull to thank you Ben and courtney and the boss not sure of his name will definitely go their again

Live music on Saturday. Nice atmosphere for all ages

Had a few early evening drinks and hot bar snacks here with the family and it was excellent. Great friendly service and excellent Guinness.

Had a lovely business lunch was served by a great team that were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and accommodating to our requirements. Was served my Leo, George, and Ben would recommend highly

Lovely lunch, Charlie was the perfect bar tender, really lovely day and would come back in a heartbeat - best bar in Montpellier

George was such a laugh, kept us entertained all evening

this bar is in a fabulous position and the staff were friendly but oh dear the food was truly dreadful, it calamari was straight from the freezer and flabby and grey, the nachos had something orange on top which I assume was a type of soft cheese that possibly came out of a tube, it was really hard to tell it tasted so bad it was impossible to eat

£28.00 for 2 wines and a small tub of nibbles. Rip off!

Occassionally in Cheltenham and this is a Great find. Food is good, as you would expect from somewhere towards the upper end of the M&B range of pubs. Staff are really helpful and there is a nice buzz even on a Monday night. The locals obviously know where to come.

Really lovely pub with good beer selection

Great place for a Sunday lunch! Service from Charlie was great!

You have the best fish and chips around. The old mushy pea recipe was better though. I like that you have more beer choices and usually have a guest beer. I get tired of the same IPAs, Pilsners, etc. It's also nice to have an alternative to Guiness for a dark beer too. We'd come more often if you started your Tuesday burger special again.

Perfect. A real asset to the area.

Nice lunch and a good selection of drinks. Efficient service.

Not the greatest Guinness. Friendly staff. Seems like a pleasant location. The Mrs liked the prosecco. Winning 🤙

Came for lunch, chef Joe was excellent and received brilliant service from Ben and Nat

Have been here a couple of times now when visiting friends. The food was delicious, chicken schnitzel the best I’ve had outside of Germany. Dirty fries amazing, beef brisket melting in mouth. Also tried buffalo cauliflower… delicious. Staff are really welcoming & helpful. Staff member Leo very knowledgeable on drinks & made my dining experience with family and friends really relaxing and enjoyable.

Best pub in cheltenham! Great food great team great beer! Our go to place for any celebration with the team! Really good for sport too if that’s your thing but their live bands on the weekend sets this place apart from the rest!

Really lovely place in Cheltenham for food. The burgers and dirty fries are lovely and can’t wait to go back to try some of their other dishes. Leo was fantastic and very knowledgeable. Will definitely visit again 🫶

Truly the best burgers we've ever had, We had the Boss x2 Pay day fries x2 and nachos x2. Could not have been better, really cannot understand why this Estb is only rated 4,5. This restuarant far exceeds all expectations, even arriving perfectly packaged and hot. Advice forget all others when your looking for the best The Harry Cook Freehouse is it. Had a bad day go to Harry, celebrating go to Harry. I am sincere, it cannot be faulted and is worth every penny. Thank You Harry Cook.

We didn't receive the full order. We were missing the chocolate brownine

Great for food and drink. Service was great all day and night.

Popped in for a drink. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. We didn't eat but the wine was nice

Down for the festival. Breakfast was fast and delicious, value for money, attentive staff, lovely Guinness, great start to our morning :) thank you all

We go to Harry Cooks because my husband likes their Landlord beer! But uts also a nice regular pub too. Haven't eaten there but the food does look good and seems good value.

Amazing find for my birthday night out.. The staff and service is very Good...

£6.50+ for a pint of middle-of-the-road IPA is ridiculous but the burgers are very good

Lovely pub, great atmosphere, and great work from Charlie on the bar!

Ollie was fantastic as a barman, he made great conversation, and recommended great food and the best pints!

Oli served me and was fantastic. Very polite and charming.

Had a sick time on Saturday. Lively atmosphere, good selection of drinks, and great service, especially by Oli!

Came here last weekend. Great and fast service, served by oli. Good place to come on a weekend!

Good pub food very good entertainment sat night and good choice of drinks

Excellent service from Dan, he recommended the Beef Dripping tots which were to die for. Looking forward to trying the Buffalo Ones on my Next Visit.

A great place to go and excellent service from barman Charlie on the bar

Great local pub, with a really amazing vibe and incredible live music. If you're in Cheltenham check it out!

Chilled atmosphere, good choice of drink and food. Charlie the barman was top notch quality and is a DMR god

Charlie on the bar was very charismatic and very welcoming! All bar staff should be as friendly as Charlie!

Lovely pub with a great selection of beers, soundtracked by the brilliant DJ Tenko aka Charlie who really knows his stuff. Top night!

Charlie on the bar is amazing, so fast and precise. An incredibly talented barman, he makes pouring drinks look as easy as breathing is to most. A true virtuoso of his craft. He's incredibly cool, handsome and daringly witty. Men want to be him and.... well women want to be him too, because of equality and stuff. All in all, a great experience.

Was served by a lovely bartender. Charlie I think. Made my experience 5/5 for sure!

Good atmosphere, love the new menu and a big thanks to one of the staff members (Charlie) who was attentive and friendly!

Was served by Charlie on the bar, he was very friendly and helpful, and recommended different lagers and other drinks. Will definitely be back.

We always have a great time at Harry Cooks, excellent atmosphere and music. The taps change regularly, but Charlie behind the bar always has a great recommendation and excellent knowledge. Highly recommend.

Fantastic evening and thoroughly pleased with the professionalism from staff present, specifically Charlie on the bar

Top tier food, drink, and service. Had a great time, thanks especially to Charlie who was behind the bar

Charlie the very handsome bartender catered to our every need. He made the experience very enjoyable and we will definitely return.

Barman Charlie just introduced me to the pleasure of Sxollie cider. Never had it before. Top man!

Had a really nice meal here and some drinks with friends. The menu has lots of options and really well priced. A staff member Charlie suggested halloumi fries and cauliflower wings as I am a veggie and was a great host to us.

Had a really great time watching the rugby here at the weekend great atmosphere and even better pints! The live music after was amazing and definitely the place to be on a Saturday night in Cheltenham.

Had a whole afternoon spent watching the six nations at the weekend, great atmosphere, par for the course with prices. The barman Ben served us all day, who couldn’t have been any better.

Had a lovely lunch today with great food, Charlie was great!

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and dog friendly. Burgers were beautiful and hallumi fries were crispy too! Superb service from Charlie - polite, prompt and efficient service with a smile :)

Is this Cheltenham‘s most expensive pub?? I think it could be. How can you charge £6.15 for a basic 4% lager, that is extortion. Don’t expect any change from £30 for a typical round of 4 drinks in this place.

Awful, took an hour and a half to deliver. Stone cold. You don't always get what you pay for

Expensive for drinks, didn't eat as the prices were high

A really welcoming and warm retreat from the freezing cold weather. Great for a mid week wine. My wine was perfect and the prices aren't silly like so many bars now.

Used to order all the time from here…Great food quality but now the prices are way too high…

The food here is usually good,but unfortunately what I received was not good at all. The burger was very dry and had an odd,sweet flavour. I ended up not eating more than two bites. The millionaire fries weren’t as tasty as usual,and the sauce also had that weird sweet taste,which was concerning. The tots were good,though the gravy pot spilled.

Very busy, quite loud, absolutely worth it! Food was great - not what I expected for British fare

Again and yet again! Order was ready on time but not collected by driver for 30+ minutes so when it arrived it was stone cold. Just eat is USELESS.

I'm warming to this pub. Average on my first visit but now its a regular pit stop. I ate there for the first time in November. It was very good value (burger, fries, and a glass of wine for £12). Definitely worth a visit.

Chicken tenders are smaller than before and I was not asked what sauces, I wanted.

Lively bar with an excellent drinks offering

Good burgers and great value especially on 2-for-1 Tuesdays.

Great beer and nice food delivered quickly. We had the boss burger and one of the lovely section of craft beers. The atmosphere was great and the staff friendly.

Great food and amazing selection of wel kept beer.

Great place for food , drinks and also to watch sports ...nice and chilled with friendly staff too

After having a very poor lunch popped in Harry’s prior to evening event. Best chicken wings ever, thank you Ben , Lee and Jessica

Great burgers and fries. Brilliant and very quick!

Barman Charlie just introduced me to the pleasure of Sxollie cider. Never had it before. Amazing! Cheers Charlie. Top man!

Service was amazing - espesh Mahtt
