No.3 Restaurants in Cheltenham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very good still, even though it lost the number3 brand. Same chef, same team, just no Phil. New menus, theme nights and a great wine list. Beer/ale selection can be a little up and down, but they always have 3-4 to pick from Great beer garden too

When I visited Charlton Kings area, I chose this pub for a trial. It looked cozy with beer garden outdoor and traditional English setup indoor. 2 barmaids were good looking and kind. I ordered their only steak dish on the menu. Unfortunately the steak looked well but tasted plain and chewy… The pub chose Rump Steak as their only steak on the pub menu with charge of 20 pound which kind of reflecting the pub food level down. Charlton Kings is the most posh area in the whole Cheltenham with average 550000 pound house selling price, people here or travelers definitely can afford higher price with much better quality of steak. But when I told the barmaids about the steak too chewy, they did not respond anything. Maybe they already get used to the customers complaints about the steak but never informed head chef which was a big pity for this kind of restaurant&Pub. The waitress was very nice though.

Salmon Roast cooked to perfection 10/10

Family friendly pub, lovely polite staff, efficient service, fantastic food. Can’t fault it! The pork with crackling was out of this world.

Lovely Sunday lunch, fresh vegetables and cooked perfectly. Staff very friendly. Cash payments not accepted though only by card.

The food was excellent. I had the salmon which was cooked perfectly and the whole dish was really tasty. The bartender was really friendly and helpful. A great atmosphere in the bar area. I can't wait to visit again.

We went here for Sunday lunch with friends and loved it. We will be back. The service and food were excellent and although not crowded the place had a good atmosphere. The menu contained a food choice to suit all dietary needs as far as we could see and I had the vegan roast that was a nut, mushroom, rice patty and it was very good, (first time for everything) the potatoes, veg and gravy where excellent and well cooked and plentiful. We will definitely be going back

Definitely a must visit it you're in the area, and if you are a meat eater - go hungry !!! If youre not in the area - get in the area LOL... Service is great, fun lovely staff and awesome wine list.... Great variety of meats (and other meal options), all cooked to perfection over the coals..... (bloody better be)

My husband had pre-booked a table for the Saturday before Valentines Day. He booked here due to the outstanding reputation of this restaurant and it being owned by Phil Vickery. When we arrived, we were informed that it was no longer owned by him, which surprised us. We were shown into the back room (booked for 7pm) and were the only people in there for a short time. The service was good and the food was nice, but personally, I felt it was slightly over-priced. It wasn't very busy for a Saturday night and it lacked atmosphere somehow. The location is quite out of the way.

Sunday roast was the best I've had in Cheltenham in years. Only negative is that the york-puds are not freshly made. Definitely worth a visit.

We had a meal at No 3 in the Merryfellow. While the food here was sensational, the service was sadly shocking. We'd booked a table for 8pm (party of 5), and finally got our food at 9.40pm. Additionally, we had to call staff over for everything, rather than them approach us and offer to help or take our order - to be seated at our table, for drinks, food and additional drinks during our hour and forty minutes wait. The restaurant wasn't full at the time. I brought it up when the plates were cleared but instead of apologizing the waiter said it is usually busy at that time and they had been trying to stagger orders for the kitchen. I would suggest if a restaurant knows it's going to be busy at a certain time and can't get staff, they shouldn't take bookings for then. If we'd wanted to eat at 9.40pm we'd have booked a table for then. Such a shame as the food was amazing but sadly in this instance the front of house really let it down.

Amazing quality of steak with a choice between chateaubriand or a tomahawk. Comes with fries and salad. Great selection of other sides available - Brussels sprouts are perfectly cooked with bacon bits. Sunday roast is also delicious with plenty of gravy. Great treat for when you want to celebrate something special :)

Food was great & it really is a lovely place with great beers &lovely hosts &staff

I really enjoyed this surprise find! I’ll definitely be back!

Too noisy! Great food, lots of it Reasonably priced Main restaurant was very busy, and a good vibe, but so noisy, plus staff kept putting on the Christmas music - loud! Wasn't needed We couldn't have a conversation without shouting 😒 Ask for table in bar area if you want some decent conversation We had a 45 minute wait to get our food, not ideal having been given a time when we needed to vacate the table.......

Appreciate its christmas and they are probably busier than usual, but I always support local restaurants, but service was poor on the night and the food matched it, not somewhere I would recommend ,far better eating places in charlton kings.

11 of us ate here for my Mother in law's significant birthday! Really fantastic, the service was attentive without being overly so, the food was superb and a lovely time was had!

Amazing food and excellent service. Everything our table ordered was delicious. Will definitely be returning!

Soulless with a cheap refit however large garden and they do show the rugby and have live music

Not running a full menu yet but the steak was excellent, best I've had in a long time.

One of the best restaurants in the area! Came to enjoy steak night and the new location. Food and service were absolutely fantastic!

I went there to have a steak with chips. Turned up to be a nice place to have a dinner at. Good atmosphere, filling and tasty food. It was noticeable how waiters tried their best to make a good impression. Overall, this place is recommended, although, you need to be aware of reasonable prices and need of some time to get food cooked. Not a quiet place sometimes which is worth mentioning.

6 of us ate here last Saturday. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff (thank you Danny!) and delicious food. Loved the Burrata salad, arancini and ploughman's. Nicest meal we've had for a long time and we are looking forward to returning soon. Highly recommend and so pleased there's a decent restaurant we can walk to!

Service was excellent. Asked for a medium/ rare rump steak that turned up overcooked and barely edible. A lot of gristle and fat and subsequently left a third of it on the plate. I would like to think a reasonably decent chef would have seen it was a poor quality cut before cooking . It came with a tiny side salad , a small pot of sauce and a little bowl of French fries. Overpriced child sized portions of low quality food would be the best description.

スターターのカマンベールのディップと、ナスのディップはとても美味しかった。でもメインのステーキは£32の価値は無く残念だった。 Starter dip was very good. The main course of steak was disappointing and not worth £32.

Top night. Very good food. Very good drink. Great location. And staff that are too good to be true Massively recommended.

The food was incredible, The staff were very friendly and helpfull.

No. 3 at the Merryfellow - good quality fresh food well prepared with lots of attention to detail and comfort and a sprinkle of good humour.

Delicious food, we had some sharing plates, they were all presented beautifully and so delicious. The staff were all so friendly and attentive, without being too much. We sat in the garden with our toddler, it was so relaxing and lovely to have the garden for children. A really relaxing pub and we cannot wait for the restaurant to open!

Amazing food, far exceeding the general calibre of Cheltenham restaurants. Had fantastic seasonal, modern food and wine, and the service was impeccable. The experience was faultless, despite Covid restrictions forcing us to dine outside. We cannot wait to visit as often as we possibly can. Thank you, Elliott!

We spent a long weekend in Cheltenham and this restaurant was number 1 on the list for us to try and it didn't disappoint! The food was amazing - especially the tomahawk steak to share. The service was faultless and they were very accommodating to us with our two month old daughter and pram! Would highly recommend!

Nice spot for Saturday dinner while in Cheltenham. Solid all around with some standouts, notably the “Spice and stormy”, probably the best take I’ve seen on. Twist on the classic Bermudan “Dark and Stormy”

The Eggs Royal were killer. The sourdough toast was the secret star

The best Sunday lunch I’ve had in ages. Rare beef, crispy roast potatoes and all the rest to go with it. Superb. Also the charcuterie platter was about the best it can get. Lovely chilled atmosphere and great service. Will become a regular part of our eating out.

Service has been good given only 2 members of staff. Overall, it's not what you would expect for an establishment of this reputation. I asked for my steak medium to medium rare. It was medium rare at a push. My husband had a fillet that he really liked. The burnt aubergine starter was lovely and generous. The worst bit was the dessert - the cheapest glass you can get in a warehouse. I'd expect better. I would come again to see if it was just tonight as I feel it was on off night and expectations too high.

We have found the food and service here excellent ,on our last visit my husband and I were not happy with the quality of the rib eye steak it was very chewy for medium cooked……our friends had fish and couldn’t fault their food ,I mentioned our disappointment with Elliot at the end of our meal , no 3 is a busy restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere .

Just a fantastic Sunday lunch at this place. Roast beef, cheeseburgers and Ham and chips all incredible. The house Red was a languedoc grenache wine we knew and also fantastic. Service excellent. 100% recommend this pace

Food was brilliant, service was great (the owner came and spoke with some of the tables and was clearing up plates which was great to see) and the atmosphere was great, charming restaurant and would definitely go back. Cocktails were also great.

Fabulous food in a beautifully decorated restaurant. We were all driving so had non alcoholic cocktails to start with. Delicious. Great service - friendly, knowledgeable and attentive when you needed it. The pomegranate dip was really good, and the Cornish cod went down well.

Really amazing food.. Staff go out of their way to wait on you.. Can't fault anything

A superb evening to celebrate a family member’s birthday, the food and atmosphere is fantastic. Special mention to Hugo and Elliott for top drawer organisation and service.

Visited on a Wednesday Steak night for my sons 21st. From start to finish the service and food were outstanding. We had heard good things about the restaurant but our expectations were surpassed. Phil and his staff go the extra mile. Not just a delightful meal but a wholly enjoyable experience. Definitely recommend and looking to returning very soon. Thanks for spending chatting to us Phil.

We had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch at No.3 - delicious roast and accompaniments, friendly service and very welcoming to our 4-year-old. While the grown-ups had traditional roasts from the menu, we were told that they rather than a kids' menu, they would make what we asked from what they had in the kitchen - in our case, sausages, chips and beans. We all, therefore, had exactly what we wanted!

A true hidden gem. We celebrated a big birthday recently. Intimate atmosphere, great staff (friendly, efficient, yet not overpowering) led by Hugo, and fantastic food.

We went to this restaurant in October 22. It had been on our list of places to try and so we went along on a Sunday afternoon. We booked for 6 people, which one was a newborn. It is a little awkward getting the pram down the stairs at the entrance but other than that it was easy. The Sunday roast was amazing and we had 2 vegetarians who enjoyed the nut roast. All of the staff were very welcoming and chatty, especially with our son. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be returning in the future

Really disappointed. First time we ate here the food was great, but this time was very different, we were oversold on the need for each of us to order a large platter for starters - then the main I had was so dry and tough it was inedible. The hosting staff talked the talk with asking if everything was good but didn’t walk the walk with our response. Totally glazed over our dissatisfaction with indifference. Such a shame - but will not return or recommend.

Looking forward to coming again. Good service, cracking food (tomahawk steak) and fine wine.

Well cooked roast dinner. Medium rare beef, strong cauliflower cheese. Good size portion and service was fantastic.

My partner and I dined here for Wednesday steak night. First time we’ve been and I’m not usually one to write reviews but the food was spot on and the staff were super tentative. We just had such a lovely evening and will definitely be returning!

Brilliant from start to finish. A friend and client recommended No.3 after going for breakfast and after showing me a picture of his plate I was sold. Went on a Sunday with no intention of having a roast dinner but couldn’t be happier with my choice, had the burnt aubergine dip to share and a pork belly roast for the main, while my girlfriend had the nut roast. The service was perfect, welcomed wholeheartedly from the moment we walked down the stairs, I believe it was Hugo who greeted my girlfriend and I, he was extremely accommodating to our request to eat in the courtyard (too nice a day to be sat inside). He gave us advice on the menu and portion sizes, which was invaluable to avoid over ordering, as the portions are hearty but not too much. Totally impressed by the food, staff, service, location and general feel of No.3, I have been raving to friends since leaving.

Another fantastic meal at No 3 . I’ve eaten there several times and have never been disappointed with the food or service, great atmosphere, food and staff. Highly recommend a visit .

Fantastic brunch. The staff were attentive, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. (Thank you Hugo) Order a portion of bacon on the side!!

Excellent Sunday lunch - the pork was to die for! Service was the best we have experienced in a long time. The two lads working were professional and took pride in their work. Highly recommended.

Em termos de qualidade-preço existem outros melhores restaurantes na vila. A qualidade das refeições não justificam os preços. Talvez o tipo de música não será o melhor, mas ainda assim recomendo este restaurante. Ainda assim o restaurante tem um bom serviço. Não recomendo.

Delicious food! Great service too.

Had brunch - was amazing!! The food is top quality produce cooked to an extremely high standard. And, in addition to this the service was excellent- will definitely return.

Very good food, great service. Definitely will be back

I had my first ever private dining experience here and I LOVED every bit of it. I keep craving the steak, green beans and that salad was so crunchy (plus the utterly delicious truffle taste, it is my favourite). YUM YUM YUM. It's nice to see the team so smartly dressed and the service was spot on. Thank you Oscar for making our experience so lovely! See you soon

Service was excellent from start to finish. Starters were amazing, I thought overpriced when reading the menu but they were worth it upon tasting. The ribeye main was a perfect size but not the best quality. It was like the meat was not beaten or possibly cooked direct from the fridge instead of at room temp as it was very tough. It was cooked medium rare as requested but a very tough cut; more like rump rather than ribeye. That did let the meal down as we both ordered ribeye. With hindsight I would have ordered the tomahawk between us but at £75, when a tomahawk from my local butcher is £30, I thought was unreasonable (since fries and sauce are an additional charge). House red wine was great. My only improvement suggestion would be to source higher quality meat; there is plenty available locally.

Best meal of the weekend at this restaurant. We had scallops, aracini balls and steak tataki to start- the steak was a standout and absolutely delicious, as were all of the other starters. We had cod and beef cheeks as a main, both again very well done. The wait staff were also super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and area, giving us good cocktail and food recommendations.

Amazing night. Food delicious and amazing staff.

Sublime food, excellent service and a lovely setting in central Cheltenham. Not for the faint of wallet, but you get more than you pay for 👍

Amazing meal here at No3, from the warm welcome and friendly staff to the delicious food. The wild mushroom aranchini were excellent. Crispy on the outside but slightly gooey inside. The ham hock terrine and piccalilli was very tasty. Nduja cod with BBQ octopus was stunning, full of flavour and perfect cooked. Ribeye steak again perfectly cooked and delicious. Crispy pork belly was spicy, sticky, crispy and very enjoyable. All in all an excellent meal.

Enjoyed a lovely meal here, great food and service too.

Superb evening. The menu is brilliant and every dish is fantastic. Service is great as well! Special shout out to Hugo for looking after us and Phil for taking the time to chat! Will be back very soon!

Excellent all round. Top food. Well done Phil & the gang

Now a favourite restaurant in Cheltenham. No3 had a lively buzz on Thursday as well as the usual great food. This place is catching on! It has a more flexible menu than traditional 3 course dining, although you can dine traditionally if you prefer. I went for a sharing platter followed by one of the smaller 'plates' this time to suit my appetite. Terrific food and excellent, enthusiastic service.

Cracking restaurant. Enjoyed the food very much and the service was the best. Highly recommended. Arancini, steak and chocolate fondant all spot on.

Service and food was amazing! Made to feel welcome and not rushed. Fillet steak was excellent and the spiced potatoes were divine. Looking forward to dinning there again.

Wonderful Sea Bass, excellent staff and service

Magnificent service....the hospitality was above and beyond. Lunchtime menu was wonderful. Loved the small plates.... especially the pork belly.

Excellent food and even better service!

We were so lucky to find this gem while we were having a short lunch break in the middle of our long drive back from holiday. Absolutely amazing food and service. Everything was so yummy and we were constantly wow-ing. It’s such a great vibe in the restaurant. It will be a bit of a drive for us but we will 100% be back to have the food again!!

Great service and amazing food!

Very nice, simple but well executed. Lovely ribeye steak. And we got to meet the man himself, Phil Vickery, greeting guests and happy to be back in business at last.

Went there the first time last Friday and had a delicious breakfast. Definitely will go back soon.

Absolutely delicious food and great service. Best food we have had in a long time. Will definitely return!

Really amazing and well thought through dishes. Elliot, the restaurant owner and our waiter explained all the meals to us and provided exquisite care whilst we were there, I recommended the Wild Mushroom and Pork Belly small platters. We shared three small platters between two people and was completely filled by the time the spicy potatoes (which were so well seasoned) came out. Due to restrictions, we sat outside in an aesthetically pleasing gazebo with a heat over us and eat seat had warm blankets provided. Above and beyond if you ask me. Will most definitely back and visit!

My partner took me for a birthday dinner last night and WOW it was probably one of the best meals of my life! He and I are veggie and so the (excellent) manager Elliott suggested a mix of sharing plates 2 small 2 large which was a perfect amount. The mushroom arincini were delicately crisp with a gooey, umami filling, on a generous blob of seriously garlicky aioli. The veg curry was smoky, silky and not at all heavy. The cloud like burrata and tomato salad piquant and moreish and the asparagus with salsa verdi - my fave - oozing with flavour. Everything was perfectly cooked, very fresh and you could tell everything had been so well thought out. All the flavours complemented each other divinely. A very nice NZ sauv blanc went well with it too! Service was impeccable. Its the little things like being asked discreetly "the 250 Madam?" rather than "small or LARGE wine Madam?" that shows exemplary training and experience! :-D Paul Vickery was doing the rounds and he came to chat with us; a very lovely, quietly spoken man who seemed humbled with all his successes in life. I can safely say this new restaurant - opened in the pandemic - is another to add to his list! We will definitely be back!

First time visiting No.3 and we will certainly return! Really warm and welcoming staff make it an easy recommendation! You get taken through the menu on arrival with all options explained. We had 3 of the small plates and a couple of sides. Highly recommend the pork belly skewers!

Great little place to dine. Great service and top quality food. Be it breakfast, lunch or an evening meal you won't be disappointed.

A fantastic, intimate, restaurant with first class service and excellent food.

An excellent addition to Cheltenham. A very interesting and diverse menu, beautifully prepared and presented, we'll signed for dietary requirements top class eating.

Great rib eye steak, excellent pork croquettes and mango panna cotta. Waiting staff really welcoming, kitchen staff looked like they run a clean, relaxed and professional kitchen. Phil spent time chatting and was great. Will definitely return.

I must buy my friends a drink for recommending this slightly hidden jewel. Fabulous front of house staff, eclectic menu ( love the idea of sharing items tapas style ), superb cooking, flavours and presentation. I will definitely be back and, though no expert, one of the best culinary experiences I have had in Cheltenham and even much further afield.

Delicious restaurant in Cheltenham. Went for a combination of starters. Particularly loved the tapas Pork Belly, wow amazing . Opted for the vegetarian main which was packed full of flavour. My highlight was the dessert it was absolute perfection, the chocolate fondant wow! Can I just say as well the restaurant manager Elliot was just fabulous, I would go back just to be served by him again, his knowledge and charisma was unlike any other service. When I next go to Cheltenham I will back would love to try breakfast and lunch options.

Thanks so much - thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Very much appreciated your “pointers” Elliot! Exciting flavours and a great idea to enable the experience of sampling a range/combination of foods. Thank you to all of the team!
