Moran's Eating House in Cheltenham

Really nice selection of food and friendly staff. Cakes are delicious and good variety for lunch. Staff are efficient and friendly. A nice place to go!

I call here for breakfast 2 or 3 times every March when I am going to Cheltenham for the racing. The staff remember me and the service they provide is superb. Coffee, breakfast and cakes are wonderful.

My favourite eatery in Cheltenham! The cinnamon buns are especially awesome. Love, love, love the place!

Never disappoints. Great Bistro, good food selection, great cake selection, soft drinks, hot drinks, ales, beers, and lagers, as well as good wines and large selection of spirits, all sprinkled with great atmosphere and an eclectic population

Nice place to eat and drink and definitely the food is top quality, good atmosphere and the service is excellent.

Don't often write reviews but we were so well looked after last night, I felt it deserved recognition. The whole evening was perfect, a lovely table for all the family, genuinely warm and helpful staff and delicious food. So relaxing and enjoyable. We were not rushed to vacate the table as in my experience is all too common these days. Thank you Morans

A great place to catch up with friends or spend time with family. Comfy sofas to sit on, if you are lucky to get a table where they are. It’s always busy but you still get excellent service. Coffee is good as is the food. Can highly recommend the Cratfish and Avocado wrap. The pickled cucumber that comes with it is delicious. Could eat loads of it. Wish I knew how they made it taste so good.

This is the place for the best cakes in Cheltenham. Awesome Orange Cake and Epic Chocolate Cornflake Cake. A huge choice of cakes, all delicious.

Nice atmosphere. Nice environment. Nice staff. Nice gastropub food.

Morans is an independent bar/restaurant at the end of Bath road, a wonderful part of cheltenham full of bars, cafes, restaurants and shops. The decor is fantastic, staff and management are well knowledged , friendly and well trained. There is a good range of wines and beers, the menu is appetising and the food quality is very good. Small outdoor seating area at the front and back and during the daytime, the selection of cakes are absolutely amazing with a nice coffee. This place is a real gem and I just can't keep away

Went here for lunch a few weeks ago - usually Morans is good but this time the service and food was very mediocre. The staff don't appear to be very happy. The food took such a long time to arrive, I had to chase for it twice, after nearly an hour of waiting. We weren't told when ordering that there was any type of delay, and further still, there was no apology for it taking so long. My friend said her lunch was ok but not great, and the chicken skewers were so dry I gave up eating them after the first one. Also at no point during our stay/meal were we asked how it was.

4 of us arrived didn't know what to expect ( first visit ) and wasn't disappointed from start to finished we were served by Lawrence and he made us feel very welcoming nothing was too much trouble great service from him thank you !! I highly recommend the curry lasagna ( sounds strange but works and I must say it was beautiful ) the prices are very reasonable and if u can hold down a pudding after mains try the brownie with the black ice cream delicious can't wait for the next visit

Great place for coffee and mince pie!!🎄🎅

We have been twice first time for a Friday lunch. This was excellent food, an atmosphere were great. The food took a while but not a problem as we enjoyed our wine. Then we went for breakfast. There wasn't many people in but our coffee took about 25 minutes and our breakfast 30 minutes. The food was pretty good, but the wait took the gloss off a little We will return but probably for lunch when we are in the area.

Visited here with my daughter for breakfast before a shopping trip. Arrived at opening, chose the full english and the veggie breakfast, both were excellent, great value too !

Had a fabulous meal as always. Chicken ham and leek pie followed by gorgeous rice pudding and an espresso martini. Jeremy and Dan provided superb service as always. Thank you.

Lovely restaurant/ cafe on Bath Road. The have a good selection of main meals and lighter meals, plus plenty of drinks and cakes. For those looking for a breakfast, they stop at 11.45am. Nice looking interior and staff were excellent.

What a gem. Went for coffee and cake & the coffee was excellent and the quality & choice of homemade cake was exceptionally good. The Jammy Dodger Sponge was soft and creamy, The apple & almond cake was so tasty & the Cinnamon Buns were some of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend for coffee and cake. Going to have to try out the other menu items at some point.

Not been for a few years but went last night and wasn't disappointed. Reasonably priced menu and a nice ambience about the place.

Good new menu, particularly the 'Blackout brownie with black vanilla ice cream' (Halloween inspired?), but PLEASE can you keep your fantastic lemon tart on.

Excellent service, great food and pleasant atmosphere. I've been many times over the years and never left disappointed.

We love visiting Morans. The food, cake, coffee, staff and service are excellent. Very cosy atmosphere

Morgan’s is always our “ go to” venue for a meet up with friends. The food is always, consistently, good. The cakes are especially tempting! However, without going into specifics or picking on any one person, we found that the service was not up to its usual high standards. A couple of us got our order and our two companions had to wait, always awkward! However the food, when it arrived, was very good. My main complaint and the reason I we shall not be returning, is the large number of dogs present. I am severely sight impaired and found it incredibly difficult navigating around them. One was a litter over exuberant running around peoples legs. I love dogs but would not dream of taking my own spaniel into that type of establishment. I struggle to understand why people think that dogs are acceptable everywhere. Many people are actually scared and some are allergic to them. So for us, it is with regret, we shall not be returning.

Probably the best coffee and cakes in town. Also great lunch menu.

We arrived without booking and were sited without long wait. Restaurant and bar particularly were busy but service was prompt. Good food. We choose steak and smoked haddock fish cakes as mains and both dishes were tasty. Good price and lovely atmosphere. Recommend.

The food was amazing, and the service was really good. I had the chicken skewers to start, which were most tender. And served with a lovely fresh salad, plus a lovely sauce. Followed by the ribs, these were amazing. Highly recommended. We didn't have a booking, but a table was laid up for us, we waited for not even 5 mins before we sat down. The only thing was that the starters took around 45 minutes to be served to our table. I think this is a pretty long wait for 3 starter's. That's the only thing that stops me from giving the 5 🌟.

A place for sharing.People and very good food, you will enjoy this eating house.

Went at lunch time, not many people in early but got busier. Lovely food and excel service

It was a bit busy so rather than push my way through, I asked one of the staff behind the front counter if he knew whether there were any free tables. He was very dismissive and told me he didn't work in that area and I'd have to look for myself. He could have been less rude but obviously it's such a popular establishment he felt courtesy to prospective customers wasn't necessary. We left and found somewhere more welcoming! We will not be returning. No stars!

One of my favourite places to eat in Cheltenham. Such a nice atmosphere, good selection of drinks and food. Really good cakes and coffee too! Staff are lovely and very friendly.

I always enjoy going to Moran's. Very pleasant atmosphere. Food is very good...5 star hygiene rating. Pet friendly. On the downside, they could do with getting a few more comfortable sofas 🛋, and the parking is difficult due to the busy Bath Road.

Best meal that I have had out in ages! I had the curried chicken lasagne and salad. The lasagne was very tasty and the salad was a proper salad not just a few leaves! Nice beer to go with it to (not a pale ale or IPA thank goodness).

You get what you expect. Good honest tasty food cooked and presented nicely supported by really good service. Every time I have eaten here I haven’t been disappointed.

Lovely food and coffee. Very noisy. We were able to sit in restaurant which was very kind. This was much quieter.

There is no better place to have excellent home made cake or coffee. Tried em all, this is THE BEST

We have visited Morans on several occasions and have never failed to be impressed with the food, the service and the price. Always a good vibe and an excellenT atmosphere

Visited on a Friday evening. The bar and restaurant was very busy and had a great atmosphere. Booking a table is essential. Food was great and the portion sizes were very generous. Service was a little slow but they were very busy. Would eat here again

Excellent food,excellent service, and also excellent Guinness 👏

Great pub, not too pricey, cosy atmosphere

great rang of cakes and breakfast choices 😋

Lovely food , varied choices , fantastic cakes ! Service pretty slow more staff needed for a busy Friday lunchtime .

Welcoming, warm and friendly. Great menu selection. Really happy with the quality and generous portions of food and very reasonable prices. Waiter was attentive. All six of us had a great evening and will definitely go back.

Been going here since the 80s and it's still favorite restaurant

Another great find!! Went there for a bite on a Friday evening. Place was jumping and the service was excellent. Actually couldn’t believe how quickly the starters were served. We had a mixture but mainly burgers along with beers and a nice bottle of wine. One thing of note and that was the Little Dinners. Now I love my food but my little wife is not such a goody. This choice of Little Dinners was right up her street and didn´t stretch her tummy! Great idea wish more would offer them.

6 middle aged men all on a night out, the food and atmosphere were great and not too expensive ( bill inflated due to large amountsof drink). Would definitely return.

We had high hopes for this place after hearing such great things. Unfortunately we were left quite disappointed. The food took such a long time to arrive. At no point during our meal or when we were paying were we asked how it was. Honestly, we felt like we were not appreciated. We don't like leaving negative reviews but on this occasion we have no choice. On a more positive note the food was nice and on the occasion we interacted with the staff they were polite. We really hope our issues were a one off and we may try them again soon x

Always great food in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, only a short walk to the centre of the town. Beautiful, homemade cakes baked fresh every day. Staff are very welcoming and always happy to help. Highly recommended.

Disappointed to have to put a low review but feel it needs to be said. Normally myself and partner have our dog with us when we go out for lunch but she had the groomers that day. We have been on about trying Morans for...

Can't fault anything food, drink and staff excellent

Nice food, good service and reasonably priced.

Absolutely love morans! The staff are extremely helpful and friendly, some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced! It felt like they truly cared for their work and the people they were serving. Had the egg and cress sandwich which I thoroughly enjoyed, especially...

I have been going here for years and it has always been great, but today it was awful. I placed an order for 2 burgers, but the waiter just brought out 2 fries. We waited but no burgers, the waiter argued that I had only...

I come here from time to time for a coffee on my own or a catchup. Lovely place and nice staff.

The best steak, and I've sampled a few. Melt in the mouth, perfect peppered sauce! Highly recommended!

Nice, comfortable, friendly, welcoming. We planned to have just 1-2 drinks but ended spending the whole evening their and had some rather wonderful food. What stood out more than anything were the team.

Excellent place for a drink or a meal. Often busy so get there early!

Bath Roads Best ! Have been using this Cosy Bar & Restaurant for Years. Loveliest Staff 5 Star.

Met an old friend for lunch, lovely selection of dishes , friendly staff. It was so relaxing we are meeting there again soon

Have eaten here numerous times over the years. Unfortunately our latest experience was disappointing. Food was excellent as usual especially the curried chicken lasagne, but our waiter was quite abrupt, bordering on being rude. I told him to include a tip in our final bill....

Visited on a Thursday lunchtime. Ordered at the bar and then waited a good half hour for the food to arrive but we acknowledged the fact it was busy. Prawn and smoked salmon pate which was very good and plentiful and a chicken and bacon...

Visited on a very busy Saturday lunchtime. Place is obviously very popular. Choices on menu were good and had a range of dishes that I had never tried (always good to have a new taste experience!), service was fine and prices, although a little expensive, were in line with the quality of the food that was delivered. Only slight negative was that the chairs and tables were quite close together, giving a noisy environment but I would come back again.

So popular that it's hard to find a table. Good vibes a d good value for money

Good range of cakes, friendly service. Toilets could do with updating. Can get very busy. No easy parking option.

We stopped here for lunch (parking in the nearby Bath Terrace car park) on a recommendation from a friend. My wife is attending Cheltenham hospital daily, so we've tried a lot of places in and around the town, and Moran's is by far the best...

We stopped here for lunch (parking in the nearby Bath Terrace car park) on a recommendation from a friend. My wife is attending Cheltenham hospital daily, so we've tried a lot of places in and around the town, and Moran's is by far the best we've found in terms of food quality, quantity, price and service. It was very busy on a Friday lunchtime, and we found a table past the bar at the rear, which is lighter and with interesting art on the walls. I ordered our food and drinks (including the marvellous Jaipur on draught) at the bar, and 10-15 minutes later our food arrived. We'd ordered two different meals from the Light Bites & Sharing menu, and swapped half way through. My unusual choice of a chicken, coriander and bacon sausage roll (+ chips, salad and home,-made picalilli) was delicious, cooked beautifully with a crisp exterior and moist interior. My wife's plate of nachos was huge, topped with cheese, tomato, peppers, jalapenos (quite hot) and chilli beef (a £2 option), with sour cream, salsa and garlicky guacamole on the side. It was all delicious, fresh and generous portioned. We chatted to our waitress at the end of the meal; she clearly loves working there. We were full and satisfied with the whole experience - all for less than £12 each. Very highly recommended.

We met up with a group of friends for lunch eight of us a sort of reunion since the start of the pandemic The waiter was most attentive without being intrusive adding little touches to our dining experience. The choice of food and the specials...

Afternoon visit for tea and cake on 13/2. Staff at order point were more keen to put plates away rather than either acknowledge me or take my order; quite unusual for Moran’s! Order was swiftly delivered once placed.

Thank you to the wonderful staff for helping out with my wife’s collapse. Really caring and responsive.. food was great by the way!

Nice atmosphere, nice friendly staff a good place to meet with friends for a pint and a catch up.

Ate in the restaurant area. I didn't feel welcome on arrival as I hadn't booked. Had the Fish Platter. The only fish on the plate was salmon and prawns. No herring, despite being listed on the menu. (I didn't check till I had eaten most of the dish and wasn't told when ordering, which is a real bug bear of mine). The rest of my dish was filled out with salad leaves, potatoe salad and brown sliced bread. No apology for missing herring. Not worth the price. Disappointed.

Served the Fish Platter. Only gis on the fish was salmon and prawns. Filled out with salad leaves, potato salad and sliced brown bread. No herring. Overpriced. Service disappointing, not welcoming. Won't recommend.

Great food at a reasonable price.

Fantastic beer. Enormously busy in the summer so now is a great time to go and try the beer, by the fire.

Lovely lunchtime vibe and the usual first class food and service

A regular for coffee ☕ or just a light lunch cos easy car parking nearby and not expensive as some car parks. It is a favourite.

Superb festive meal. Very clean. Prompt and efficient service.

Love it, absolute favourite treat. Jeremy is a star and service and food always 5 star.

Has coffee cake lovely building good staff nice choice menus from snacks to cooked meals

First time going here after many years of wanting to and I wasn't disappointed Great food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Couldn't ask for a better place

Excellent food & service, curried chicken lasagne is my absolute favourite with the side salad & blue cheese dressing, I finished off with honeycomb ice cream, delicious.

Really friendly staff, we rang beforehand to check we could bring my son in because it was later in the evening but we wanted to celebrate my partner's birthday. They said it wa ls absolutely fine and when we arrived it was a very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The food and drinks are a reasonable price and the food was lovely. Will definitely be coming here more often.

Good selection of beers on tap (DEYA, Tiny Rebel, Arbor) and friendly staff

Very nice place down Bath Road Cheltenham I never went into when I lived in this end of town would go again .

Have dined here numerous times and had faultless food and service. We dined last night Saturday 11th September and had far from the normal service or food. We were seated with drinks we purchased from the bar and were not spoken too for over 20 minutes. When we were spoken to it was to be told we had been seated at the wrong table? We moved, these things happen. We were then left for a further 10 minutes before an order was taken. My medium steak arrived, it was rare at best, it was taken back to the kitchen for another spell on the grill. It returned hotter but as pink as when it went in, it was tough, chewy and pink. Very different experience than previous visits, but certainly won’t rush back which is a real shame…

Mum likes this place with a big selection of cakes

Thank you to the Moran’s eating house staff who looked after our baby shower party on Saturday 20th. The food was fabulous as were the friendly & attentive, but not pushy, staff who looked after us. It was pleasant & relaxing experience.

One of my favourites in Cheltenham! Best food, great service, amazing atmosphere.

We've been going to Morans for years for lunch as we normally have a reliably good meal. The atmosphere is always great in there and the staff friendly. However, we went in today where I was served the worst meal I've ever had there. In...

Had an excellent lunchtime meal here back in July. Excellent food and good service.

Authentic local bar, had a chilling afternoon pint during the mid july heatwave

Just a coffee with cheese and fruit scones on Saturday morning. The place was busy, service was great and the food and drinks were excellent.

Only popped in for a coffee but it's a nice spot there on the high street. Plenty of seating both inside and out. The coffee was delicious.

This is a well established restaurant and bar, and is great if you want afternoon tea. The staff are.amazing, always ensuring you have a great experience. Booking is highly recommended, well done to the whole team! Fabulous!

Always good food, drink and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Always good food and good service 👌

Really unexpected take on fishcakes, not what I was expecting but also not that impressive just okay...however the main was delightful, service was friendly and the drinks are really good. Nice restaurant area or you can eat in the bar if you prefer and all the seating out the front is no smoking which makes the experience inside and out much more pleasant.

Food was tasty, however service was a bit slow when we entered the premises. Additionally I think some minor improvements could be made such as the menu presentation.

Lovely resto with very good GF and coeliac safe options. Love their gf cakes.

Fantastic customer care and delicious food. Well done Morans. Don't change a thing 💫

Excellent beer and food.. Lovely atmosphere too..
