Kemble Brewery Inn in Cheltenham

The Kemble brewery is a gem of a pub Caron the hostess is the best the staff and the regulars make this pub our go too pub when in Cheltenham. The food is fantastic and the Sunday roast wow is the best oh and lots of it thanks Caron and Kevin and the girls see you all next year regards Kevin and the boys

Proper well-kept ales and really friendly service. Smart loo too!

We came for a roast lunch and oh boy, it was fabulous. I had sirloin which was cooked perfectly, rare, tender. Everything on the plate was delicious, the cauliflower cheese, the broccoli and greens, the carrots, potatoes and special mention for the turnips which were caramelised. Generous gravy portions. My friends had the lamb and pork, everyone ate everything off their plate and the portions are generous which you don't often see when food is this good quality.

This is a fantastic ale house in Cheltenham This pub is well known and near Cheltenham football club that on match days it gets full Tuesday 22nd October 2024 This pub gas vastly improved since the lat time I was in this pub drinking there was a great selection of hand pumped ales on offer a really pleasent clientelle and bar staff today This is a propper locals pub, and the real ales are interesting breweries and well-kept ales

Great beer Great food Great staff Great atmosphere

Really lovely pub. Small but welcoming. Nice garden and really personal touches in the bathrooms. Food has a great reputation.

Lovely local pub. A real breath of fresh air from a lot of pubs that are becoming more commercial due to being part of a chain. Small but comfortable inside with a very friendly atmosphere. Probably one of my favourite pubs.

Traditional tiny pub in a Cheltenham back street. Pints are always consistently well poured. Staff leave you alone to have your pint without any baloney chat.

Dropped in for a beer and stayed for a few. Nice beer selection and really nice people will be returning

Recently returned to the wonderful Kemble for the 4th year whilst visiting Cheltenham for RIAT. The food we all had was top quality both nights the ribeye steak I had on the 2nd night was fantastic as we're everyone's else's dishes. All washed down with great craft ales and nice wine too. See you next year Thanks Keith and team Murray

This pub is amazing! Went today for Sunday lunch with family and in spite of there being another party of 17, we were served promptly and cannot fault the wonderful food. The roast potatoes were delicious and we sat in the garden and were served from the outdoor kitchen. What a find in the back streets of Cheltenham. The landlord and landlady made us feel very welcome and we will certainly return.

Brilliant little pub for a quiet drink. There's always a great atmosphere, welcoming staff and the freshly made Greek food, cooked and prepared by the lovely landlady, is incredible! The potatoes are to die for! My go to meal is the chicken Souvlaki and it never disappoints! Very flavourful, fresh and very filling.

Wonderful pub with so much personality in a beautiful part of Cheltenham. Caron (the landlady) and Vicky are so warm and welcoming. The staff are so lovely. Delicious food and Wye Valley ale.

Very friendly really good food,good price

Banging Greek food plus BBQ, astronomically large portions, and a lovely setting.

Fantastic food and lovely atmosphere with a great selection of beers :) try the Greek menu it’s fabulous - great little pub with a garden area.

Attended a charity fund raiser here earlier and had the best BBQ/Greek food. Chicken souvlaki was divine! Caron deserves a Michelin star!

It's a good pub but I think we were unlucky with our ale. It wasn't the best. Clearly, the bottom of the barrel because the guy behind the bar changed the barrel almost immediately. Wish I had chosen another drink.

Decent pub for a pre match pint before the football, Old Hooky!!

This is a small pub in the back end of nowhere in Cheltenham. I have never had such a poor Sunday roast in such a terrible environment. This phot shows the space my wife and I were offered following an online booking. This is the worst possible place to eat in Cheltenham. Avoid at all costs

Discovered by chance and what a find! Superb Sunday Roast. Ample portions of great quality at a very fair price. Welcoming, efficient service. Great pub atmosphere. This place is a rarity, a proper pub serving a proper roast and a fine glass of beer. Give this gem a go!

Excellent Sunday roast, plenty of it and nicely cooked.

Amazing especially as they have gluten free Yorkshire puddings. Absolutely love this pub, they give huge potions and it is such good value

Fantastic food, fantastic beer and a fantastic welcome. This is one of the friendliest pubs ever. I thoroughly recommend this pub.

I didn't eat but the beer selection was first class. It was very busy on my visit and the staff worked their socks off to serve promptly. A really nice tucked away pub.

If I can big up this place more I would, My favourite place to go! the energy, the people, the vibe. Im been here for years and always so welcoming! caron is amazing she goes out of her way for everyone. ive been going here for about 8 years and I cant put into words how much I love it here! The food is also to die for, really good homemade meals you’ll love! It was my local yet I go out of my way from where I live now just to come here! If you come by this little spot I promise you, its a place not to miss!

Came here for Sunday lunch with family, WOW, what a lunch, I had the crispy pork belly which was such a generous portion I actually couldn't finish it (v. rare occurrence!) two family members had the lamb and another had the chicken, all faultless and cooked to perfection, the veg was all fresh produce and steaming hot. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be returning and introducing more family and friends to this hidden gem

An excellent home cooked Sunday lunch

What a fantastic pub. Great food, lovely staff. Great beer 🍻

Great Sunday roast here! Super friendly and accommodating staff, and the food was delicious! Definitely recommend

Good beer, great barkeeps, and good food when they have it. People are friendly and the place is warm and welcoming. Loved it.

What a fabulous Sunday lunch cooked by Caron! My partner roast lamb was so tender he declared it the best he ever had! My roast pork - the crackling was beautifully salted and the meat so juicy and tender. Fantastic cauliflower cheese! The gravy was rich, thick and full of flavour! The Kemble is a real gem and we are so lucky to have this neighbourhood pub for the local community in Cheltenham!

You can pimp your pizza for a tenner; the ingredients are fresher than the prince of Bel Air!! You can’t go wrong!!!

Called in to the Kemble while visiting Cheltenham. Friendly welcome from the barmaid and offered free pizza by the landlady, who was trying out the new oven. Very good Guinness and at a reasonable price. We came in again to watch Ireland v South Africa. Different barmaid but the same helpful and friendly attitude. The Kemble was very clean and decorated well. My wife stated how well the ladles were presented. The Kemble is an example of what a good pub should be like.

Warm & welcoming friendly pub which does the best food ! I had Iberian toast with garlic potatoes and it was delicious. Highly recommend this place

Amazing pizza night at the kemble! Sourdough pizzas with your own choice of toppings. Bruscetta was epic

We were lucky enough to hold our wedding party at the Kemble and it was absolutely fabulous. Perfect pub, great selection of well priced beers, fantastic little beer garden and the food was utterly delicious. Staff are all wonderful. They made our special day that bit more special. On the other end of the spectrum, we’ve also visited on multiple occasions just for a quick drink on a Sunday. Really nice atmosphere and is the ideal quiet retreat to enjoy a couple of pints. A pub we will go back to time after time. Could not recommend enough

We had a super evening in the lovely sheltered courtyard garden, made even more perfect by the delicious Mediterranean barbecue cooked by James - what a talent! Super meal, great ambience and very good value.

Excellent - particularly the food. James of The Mediterranean Kitchen (pop-up in The Kemble) produced simply excellent grub. We'll be back before he leaves.

We enjoyed a fantastic meal here on the back patio before setting out on a walk on the Cotswolds Way. BBQ dinner (special for the summer) was fantastic - brisket and tuna steak were cooked to perfection. Friendly, unpretentious staff and terrific local beer topped off a great evening - recommended!

We sat in the garden and had the most delicious food from the Mediterranean BBQ. Cooked in front of us by the friendly chef. Helped ourselves to a brilliant salad. Also extremely affordable. £8 for lamb kebabs with as much salad as you like.

We are lucky to have this cracking little pub as our local, the kitchen has been taken over for the summer by James and his Mediterranean Kitchen. Fantastic quality and really tasty food cooked on the bbq. A small ever changing menu but incredibly well priced which means we are happy to return again and again and again!!

Amazing Greek Sunday lunch. Very friendly staff . Beautiful garden you wouldn’t think You were in town. Thank you guys.

James Todd was a fabulous chef; the steak of The Mediterranean Kitchen is absolutely epic! The Kemble is a fantastic pub and incredibly inexpensive in these very expensive times!

Been my favorite local for a very long time...even if I do live in the US....

Friendly, welcoming, great beers and food. Very good value.

Sunday lunch here is awesome. The atmosphere is great, the food delicious and the service is excellent. Book in advance as it gets busy but so worth it

Visiting family in Cheltenham and decided to book Sunday lunch here after much researching and good reviews. Well the good reviews were spot on , definitely one of the most well cooked Sunday roasts ever with friendly service, good quality and portion size . Highly recommend and will be returning .

The Guinness Stew, you need no other reason to go here than the Guinness Stew. Beautiful homely food, lovely little boozer! Awesome bar girls!

A visit before watching Derby play at Cheltenham Town A great pub with wonderfully welcoming staff, friendly locals and not least, a great pint

Really nice place to have a drink even for non ale drinkers. A very good selection of well kept ales and friendly bar staff. Would recommend a visit.

I just can’t believe how good the roast is here and how much you get for your money. The landlady is an absolute delight and will go above and beyond for anyone. Hidden gem in Cheltenham

Stayed over in Cheltenham for the races & spotted this place on Google maps. Went in to watch the World Cup & have a beer. When the landlady saw we were craning our necks to view the screen, she rearranged some chairs & we ended up sitting with locals with whom we had a friendly, funny banter about the footy & races, washed down with a couple of pints of Butty Bach. Really friendly, good beer & great atmosphere - will be back next time we’re in town!

Having known of this quaint pub for years, i've only just started to think of food before drinks whilst in here. Had a fabulous meal in the garden back in August and today a terrific lunch with friends. The menu is limited but the food...

Introduced by our companion, John, and I was not disappointed. A fabulous Sunday lunch was enjoyed by the four of us, each of whom chose a different meat. I would certainly recommend it and would go again if ever I was in the locale.

Back in area after more than 2 years and delighted to find that the Sunday lunches at the Kemble are still outstanding. Choice of 4 meats and 1 vegetarian option all beautifully cooked with huge portions and a great selection of veg & sides. 5...

Outstanding back street local, Great value food and excellent service. Five well kept beers on offer on the bar

One of the best pub Sunday lunches I have had. Very generous portions, great choices, friendly service and good value. Very good range of well kept beer as well.

Cracking pint 'Old Higby'. Great condition and colour, mature flavour (tea like).

This is an outstanding little local pub that never disappoints. Beer, Wine, Food, ambience ; it's got top marks all round .

An absolute gem of a traditional English pub tucked away in a quiet terrace. Count me a regular.

Saw this pub on Tripadvisor when looking for somewhere to eat for an overnight in Cheltenham. It is out of the way, quite difficult to find, very difficult to park but well worth the effort. Lovely fresh homemade food, well presented generous portions, very friendly...

Booked a table at this slightly tucked out of the way pub in Cheltenham because of the great reviews. We had just finished a 9 day 200km walk through the Cotswolds and were exhausted. Almost cancelled last minute because it had started to rain and...

I enjoyed a delicious meal in the garden with my parents and young daughter. The staff were amazing and clearly enjoyed hosting and providing an outstanding meal. My daughter was keen to 'be a helper' and this was welcomed and she was able to help...

Definitely Cheltenham’s best kept secret- an amazing little pub . Staff had such a good knowledge of the food and being a coeliac I felt safe knowing my food was gf. The food was fantastic and tasted so fresh. You get to choose from such...

It's 30c on a Sunday, the smell of the BBQ gently wafts down the garden and into the pleasantly cooler bar, we order some drinks, 1 Oakham Citra (not my favourite) and 2 pints of lovely ice cold Inchs cider, to start we decide to...

We called in on the off chance this evening. WOW!! Firstly we given a very warm welcome and secondly the food was amazing...it was like being on a Greek island!! The swordfish and salads were fabulous. Thank you for looking after us so well. See...

If you can find it, the Kemble Brewery in the back streets of fairview in Cheltenham is a truly hidden gem, the summer BBQ food is the best you’ll find at a great price, great selection of beers and really friendly staff. I’d highly recommend.

I rang and booked a table in advance. I was welcomed on arrival. Good choice of food and drinks - we went for Kleftico lamb x2 and chicken Slouvaki. The food was excellent, the lamb was tender and the kebabs were really moist and juicy....

Loved this place from the second we walked up to it. Small, perfectly formed, friendly and very welcoming. We went for a live music night and the bbq and Greek food. It was all spectacular and I have not stopped telling everyone about this little...

We had a wonderful family evening here. Its a very relaxed small local pub with the big bonus of great food, all freshly cooked with help-yourself salads. Nothing was too much trouble, service excellent and portions generous. Small portions for children if needed. Greek dishes...

Great place for Sunday lunch with Veggie options. Booking advisory as it's always so popular and packed!

First time I've eaten here, although I've been in for a drink before. Caron's BBQ is phenomenal - very, very generous, fresh, cooked to order and with help yourself salad/olives. So nice to have something other than 'pub grub' on the menu. Value for money...

The Landlady Caron is not only a delightful host ,she is an amazing cook ,I went with my Pal expecting to have their wonderful roast only to find out they weren’t doing them ,disappointment was soon followed by a Mediterranean feast including a marvellous Kleftiko...

Sunday roast last week was absolutely banging; the plate was stacked and delicious!! Staff are wonderful and professional!!

Fortunate to live fairly close to this place. But I cannot recommend this place enough. Staff are really friendly and welcoming and the food is amazing. Highly recommend coming for Sunday dinner. Lovely homely environment.

Popped in to the Kemble Brewery Inn for a quick drink. There was a good choice of beer with friendly service.

We visited for Sunday lunch based on previous reviews. We were not disappointed. Sunday roast was epic, one of the best I've ever had. Staff were lovely, service was prompt. Our 2 dogs were treated to doggy biscuits on arrival. Everything was perfect, I cannot...

Best Sunday roast in Cheltenham

I only found out about this pub though the CAMRA guide. It said it was tucked away but well worth a visit. I couldn’t agree more! Fantastic pub, serving cask ale. The beer garden, at the rear, was a proper sun trap. The staff were...

We dropped in for a couple of pints. The selection of beers was good and interesting. The locals ad the bar staff were very friendly and welcoming. The pub is not a gastro-pub, nor does it pretend to be up market and trendy. It does...

Very poor service, lack of manners (which cost nothing). We had a table of 9 reserved, no welcoming, no guidance other than the menu is on a chalkboard “have a look and take a photo”. Absolute no interaction with the customers, shame really as we were prepared to make a night of it.

Went to the Kemble 2nd July for the first time and What a delightful experience, The staff were very friendly and helpful My wife had Chicken dish and I had a Burger that was made in front of us the presentation was very good and...

This pub is fantastic we had a great evening cared the landlady is the most loveliest person she really goes out of her way to make a perfect evening and food delicious!!!! a lot of empty plates from everyone !!! I think we would lick...

My easiest 5* review. From attentive service, beautiful food and a relaxing courtyard setting, this is a hidden gem. Two courses for two costs under £30, bonkers when you consider the quality and portion size. We will be back! Thanks 👍

What a fabulous meal, menu with a Greek twist, the food was excellent the service and staff were so helpful, was there last Friday, went back on the Sat, but unfortunatly sold out of food you really need to book, will be back there next time in the area, you wont find better qaulity, qauntity or service in the area.

it was a truly amazing experience at this establishment and the staff were very kind and generous. would definitely come back . 10/10

My sister and I were in Cheltenham for a couple of days and found this lovely pub just by chance. So we decided to stop off for a drink and a bite to eat and we were so pleased we did. We felt so welcomed...

Lovely staff nice food and reasonably priced. The service was great too. Enjoyed our visit would recommend and likely be back again :)
