Teddington Hands Inn in Tewkesbury

We love this place, food is always delicious, we've tried the breakfast buffet, the carvery, the Christmas carvery and now this evening we've tried the curry buffet which was very tasty. Staff are lovely and friendly and the pub is wonderful. We had the Christmas carvery last year and our family have rebooked again for this year. Value for money is really good and the quality of the food is great. Highly recommended A**

I live very locally to this pub and my sister has been very positive about the Sunday carvery . We were a table of 6 and the carvery was really excellent . Large portions of meat , really good home made yorkshire pudding , stuffing and every other trimming you can imagine . I think there were 8 other vegetable sides . Lovely gravy too . Ignore every negative comment here and have the best Sunday roast arounf

Yesterday, I was taken for Sunday lunch at the Teddington Hands. The service was efficient and friendly. We both enjoyed carvery lunches. The beef was divine and the accompanying range of vegetable delicious! We’ll definitely be back!

From the outside The Teddington Hands looks poor with scaffolding and a generator not adding to the 1st impression. Inside however we found a clean and smart environment only matched by the staff and the quality and variety of food on offer. The mid-week carvery at £12.50 proved excellent value. Highly recommend. We travelled from Bristol and met friends from the Midlands. Definitely will visit again!

Excellent venue for Sunday lunch. Families welcome. Food was very good. Buffet dinner, 2 sizes on offer, which offered a good choice of meats and vegetables . Very reasonable cost and would highly recommend.

We visited Teddington Hands when it reopened, and had a superb carvery! Twice in fact, as we went again a few weeks later, as it really was that good. Last weekend, however, it was disappointing. We were shown to our table, ordered drinks and 2x carvery, then queued up. I was shocked how small the portions of meat were that the chef was serving up! Yes we opted for a standard plate as there was no way we’d pay an extra £4 each for a larger plate. (The waitress said it was £4 extra for a larger plate when ordering) I asked for my usual turkey and beef, the chef cut them as thin as he could and handed me the plate. The veg was very good just as before, but the pork crackling was rock hard and overcooked, not just mine, my wife’s too, we each left a couple of pieces on our plates. Not once were we asked if everything was ok with our meals which is usually common practice, and when the waitress came to clear our plates she just picked them up and walked off without saying a word. As my title suggests, this is how I feel Teddington Hands has become, Toby Carvery was once a very good place to eat and get a decent size meal, then they changed and cut the meat portions down without reducing the prices, it’s a shame this has now happened to Teddington Hands also.

Big friends reunion held here. Lovely old pub with easy access and nice interior. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. Proper pub food served very hot and with large portions. Extra chips served up just in case we needed any. Chicken breast burger and chips was excellent at £16 and my biscoff cheesecake was lovely served with ice cream for £7. Pints for under £5. All 15 of us loved our evening and will definitely be back.

Had the Sunday carvery. Delicious food. My only problem is that the cauliflower cheese isn't cauliflower cheese but cauliflower in a white sauce with a little bit of cheese sprinkled on top. Good service. A little slow due to how busy it is but good. Would recommend. Book a table in advance though as it gets busy.

Teddington Hands has become a staple high quality reasonably priced pub carvery on a Sunday. We travel past two other options to come here.

Always a lovely carvery here! 😊

Fantastic fillet steak and home made peppercorn sauce , compliments to the chef

Great pub classics, at a great price , staff friendly and efficient, decor well done, second visit and both great

Just popped in for a light lunch, one turkey and one beef ciabatta one portion of chips Very generous portions and excellent quality..

The best steak I have even eaten. So friendly and let me park my motorhome in the carpark over night .

Friendly and helpful staff, the carvery was delicious. We will definitely be returning.

staff where really friendly, food amazing keep up the good work from a lorry driver will be back again can't fault the place at all

Perfect! We stopped here for an early Dinner whilst travelling South. Rang to book a table, polite and pleasant conversation. Request for a high chair was met happily. Great play area for our young children to burn off some energy before sitting down to eat. Kids menu great and even better that their meal was served to the table at a temperature which they could eat straight away. Simple but so many places fail to do this. Great burgers, friendly service, lovely place!

Wonderful time, a must visit venue, so glad I had a pudding after a classic dinner, thank you so much to the teddington hand staff 🙏

Just had a carvery tonight and can honestly say the best I’ve tasted by far , everything cooked fresh and delicious , staff and bar staff friendly and welcoming.

Nice big portioned food! Lovely staff.

We have eaten here previously but this specific occasion we just had hot drinks after a lovely tour of the village. We have seen different owners and layout of this establishment over the years. But you can be guaranteed of delicious food and good service.

What a fantastic experience had here again by us both. We were looked after completely from start to finish. From the quirky little man ( giovani I think he was called ) who carved our meat beautifully to all the waitresses. Nothing was too much trouble The food was amazing and service impeccable. The host was extremely friendly, professional and efficient and the place was busy. I cannot believe the previous negative review as in our experience it couldn’t be further from the truth. It amazes me that someone who found it so dreadful the first time would ( supposedly) visit again and leave yet another poor review. Something fishy there in my opinion…. We will definitely be returning again Keep up the amazing work everyone

Always a friendly welcome. The breakfast buffet is wonderful

Went for buffet breakfast with Veterans Breakfast club today. Full English help yourself (including Fried Bread and toast!) 11 of us, all said we would go again next month.

Classed this pub as my local! But since opening after a year being shut! Food was awful Manageress has no customer service skills! Don’t waste your money and go to the Ye Hobnails Inn down the road, they have an amazing chef and staff!

What a great venue, the buffet style breakfast was excellent value for money,all the elements that make up a cooked breakfast were freshly cooked and tasted great, the staff was very attentive and pleasant and made us feel welcome,I must give a mention to Dion who was very good and kept topping up the breakfast throughout the morning, would definitely recommend the Teddington hands as a great breakfast experience.

Delicious food and good service. Staff is very nice and attentive. 100% recommended

Food was really nice and the service was good. There was an offer on main meals of buy one get one half price and it was very busy. Although very busy the service was good.

Great staff great food too. Will go back. Thanks

Good night out with friends. We enjoyed the food. Staff very pleasant.

Went for a Friday afternoon meal. Early. Service was good a food was very tasty. Portions reasonable. My chili was very nice as were the nachos. Reccomended

Absolutely gorgeous meal, best steak in ages.

Haven’t been for food yet but will be back for sure and update the review.

Great Sunday Lunch (Carvery). Probably the best one I've ever had! Great service, Great Staff, lovely surroundings. Lovely garden seating area.

Really friendly staff. We was very welcome in this place, not like next door (😡 The Longhorn Bar & Grill 😡) price is really good for size of the meal 👌

We've been going to teddington since last year for our carvery due to the fact they was always of good quality and decent meat portion sizes for the value of money ..went again last Sunday and to see they have put the prices up with quite a big jump which we can understand due to food inflation but what let the price hike down was how small the meat portions was first time of seeing the chef there who was serving and he gave us two very thin slices of one meat like it was coming out of his wages we even asked for the scraps as apparently they was going In the bin to give us a decent amount of meat for the price hike and that was like asking to get blood out of a stone had to be waited to be seated and then given a two person table for three people so had to ask for bigger table even tho we had booked..the food it's self was still of good quality hence 3 stars but if your going to justify £15.50 for a regular carvery plate at least give an adults size portion

Nice Sunday lunch only criticism was cauliflower rock hard unable to eat staff friendly

This was an ideal place to meet halfway with friends for lunch, the staff were very accommodating with my booking especially when I requested a table with space for a wheelchair. Excellent food with good service, friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Great value, food was good, staff friendly and helpful. Went 3 times in a week. The carvery was excellent, lovely beef and a good choice of vegetables. We also had the chilli with nachos and rice which was good The Tex mex was average although still good value. During April it's buy a main course and get a second half price

Lovely pub food was excellent steak perfectly cooked other meals were excellent also staff was excellent very friendly well done guys will be back when we have another holiday

I could not fault our visit for lunch today. Welcoming and friendly staff and the best carvery for quality I have ever had. Proper meat, proper veg including proper roasties. Not catering tasteless muck at all. They even had gluten free Yorkshires and gluten free gravy! The creme brulee was clearly freshly made and delicious. Well done to the young and happy team at The Teddington Hands.

Absolutely fabulous carvery the beef was very tender and melted in the mouth all veg was cooked to perfection could not fault the teddinton hands pub

As usual had an enjoyable meal the staff are friendly and nothing is too much. Meals and choice of menu great.

Great carvery, great value a really good experience .

Came here for a family meal at the start of March. We all had a Carvery. And it was beautiful. Good range of meats. Would come back 😁

Please please try this for the best carvery around! Midweek and Sunday carvery, this is a local that is spoken about everywhere! Book In advance as its extremely popular! The best carvery ever! I actually want one now!

Such a lovely pub, which is part of a quality small (family owned) group of establishments. Due to work reasons, I've had lunch here 3 days running and each day has been super. Staff couldn't be more accommodating or friendly! Steak and stilton sauce panini was so tasty. Wednesday carvery lunch was really good quality, with lots of choice. The chicken and bacon salad is superb too. I'll definitely be back.

From the moment I did the booking, it was professional. We arrived to a wonderful warm smiling welcome. The menu covers something for everyone. They had a great offer on. There was eleven of us and there wasn’t one complaint about anything. They cover vegetarians and Gluten Free. I highly, highly recommend this restaurant

Fantastic Sunday Carvery. Very busy. Service excellent and dog friendly. 👍

Been a couple of times recently for lunch with friend, this time - chilli nachos for me, burger for friend. Great food! Great service.

Locals will tell you how many years back The Teddington Hands was the best pub for food for many miles around, then, when it’s long time owners retired it’s reputation sadly plummeted as it’s new management struggled to maintain its mighty standards. Now, since being taken over by the Quality Inns Group it’s back where it belongs, I took my wife for what was meant to be a light lunch, I ended up having a Carvery and she had a Chicken and Bacon Salad (with a side portion of chips) both were superb! As were the lovely staff on duty. Since our last disappointing visit a few years back it’s had a refit, and it looks more fresh and inviting than it has done for over 15 years, yes, it’s seriously been that long! Along with the excellent refit, they offer a great menu with a tempting specials board nearby, its original owners would be proud to see the fantastic Teddington Hands back where it belongs! We will be back soon for sure!

This is the 3rd time we've been for a carvery and we didn't think it could possibly improve, but it has!! Also, the staff are so friendly and it makes for a really enjoyable few hours. Going again on this Wednesday 28th of February, that's it I can get a table booked as it's so busy! Keep up your amazing work

Fantastic Sunday carvery! I'm fussy on carveries and The Teddington Hands Inn serves a very good one 😋 Very accommodating and friendly staff, with a nice atmosphere in the pub. We rang to check if the carvery was still on, and the nice lady kindly kept the carvery open a bit longer for us, as we were due to arrive a bit past the carvery finish time due to where we were travelling from on the way home.

Lovely roasts and steak. Good portion with steak. Roast was great and filling. Would certainly visit again!

Very disappointed with this carvery, the table given was right next to the bar and the cutlery tray was behind me so all the time we were there silver wear was being clancked which was annoying whilst trying to have a conversation. The food was also disappointing, meat was tough, roast potatoes, parsnips and swede were soggy along with the yourshire puddings. This was a birthday meal which was spoilt, probably won't return

6 of us really enjoyed a fabulously cooked, presented, tasty meal at this pub on a wet and windy Thursday wevening…Fullsome portions and very well presented and served up…well done all, a pleasure to eat with you and we will return soon…lovely spot to enjoy a fabulous meal with good friends.

Was parked up for the night in the truck stop across the road. Was recommended this spot by another driver, so decided to try it out. Lovely homely interior, very pleasant and friendly staff, the food was spot on and reasonably priced. Can't fault it, will definitely visit here again.

Lovely little place, food was superb, girl behind bar was cracking couldn’t do enough for you and the guiness was good

Oh dear!!! Been coming here since they reopened and thoroughly enjoy carvery and occasional main meal. But!!! Saturday night was a real let down. Special choice of two meals. One not available and the other one only one meal available. Main menu selections are limited unless you like burgers or are a veggie. We chose Hunters chicken with stilton sauce and 12 oz gammon. Hunters chicken arrived overcooked, dry and no sauce. It was so bad the waitress took it back. Gammon had been overcooked but although it was edible I had to wait until another Hunters chicken arrived so we could eat together. The chicken arrived cooked properly but the sauce can only be described as a jug of cream with perhaps a small amount of cheese. Definitely not Stilton. If we return will definitely stick to traditional carvery in future. So disappointing.

First time visit will be definitely coming again excellent carvary

Great carvery food ,sadly the meal was detailed due to screaming children and parents who ignored them.Also we asked for a dessert but when it did not come they had run out so brought something else which was not suitable

First time visiting lovely atmosphere & service

Best carvery you can find near Cheltenham. Great value and much better quality than any other carvery I've had recently. Staff were friendly and helped to accommodate us during a busy night. Atmosphere was good also.

We have been to this restaurant a few times over the past 7 years. It has had a few owners. Our recent visit was the latest with new owners. My grandparents are interded in the local church and this is a convenient venue for a family catch up.Very delicious food. Varied menu. Service sound, but I did hear the chef ding the bell when our tables food was ready and it took a few minutes for us to be served to our table. Hopefully they get one or two more staff soon? All the best this year. Cheers

Great food with great service. We were in there late afternoon so it was quiet but it has a lovely country pub atmosphere.

Went today (Christmas eve) for a family member's birthday. The service, atmosphere and food was utterly brilliant! One of the family is ceoliac and they provided gluten free gravy and Yorkshires. We had 8 carveys, 4 puddings and everyone had one or 2 drinks each. Really reasonably priced. Can not wait to return in the new year and try the menu next!

We enjoyed a Christmas meal, wonderfull food at very reasonable price, great service from friendly staff .

What a wonderful xmas dinner we enjoyed last night. Service was great. Starters, turkey or beef carved by the chef with loads of tasty veg and roast potatoes and then a delicouis sweet - all for only £25.

No negatives at all, food was perfect, I went for the carvery my brother had a steak, both were excellent, we will be returning soon

Oh my goodness The Teddington hands! This was a fantastic Christmas lunch, We were early,but it wasn't a problem, staff were very accommodating! The table's were very festive as was the rest of the restaurant! The 3 course's of food were absolutely amazing! Starters were great! The meats were tender, the Yorkshire puddings and roasters were absolutely scrummy, vegetables were prefect, cooked just right! And the cheesecake dessert was the topping on the the cake! It's the best Christmas lunch we've had in the 10yrs we've been doing this! Staff were very friendly, service was efficient and helpful xxx Merry Christmas 🎅

Attended a Xmas lunch for 14. Food (soup, carvery and cheesecake) was very good, esp. cheesecake. £25 + drinks good value.

The best carvery EVER ..everything was perfection. Hot delicious carvery with crunchy crackling big yorkshires.. roast spuds and even the cranberry sauce was as good as home made! Staff so friendly and superb service...highly recommend! EXCELLENT value too. All 3 of us left raving about it!!

Came here today for lunch with old work colleagues. Had prebooked the 2 course carvery. Very friendly service, from all the staff we met, efficient and speedy. The carvery was great... 3 meats, lots of veg, and Yorkshires, everything freh and hot. They'd not had delivery of their profiteroles which 2 of us had ordered for pud, but we were offered instead chocolate brownie sundae, which was yummy, with cream and icecream ,and huge!!! It's a lovely place to eat, and very good value, £20 for 2 courses, £25 for 3, no way could we have managed 3 courses!!! Am so pleased this pub is open again and judging by the carpark being very full, and the tables all full, it's doing very well, long may it continue.

Staff are Brilliant and value for money is excellent. Finally this pub has the owners it's always deserved

Since changing hands... BRILLIANT.

Wednesday and Sunday roasts are fantastic

Good food and great value. Either the carvery or a meal from the menu.

popped in on a Sunday when they only serve a carvery, couldn't fault the food, the desserts were lovely and the staff were very warm and welcoming, would highly recommend.

Called in on a Sunday evening. Had a great roast from the carvery

A family of 16 and this restaurant absolutely smashed the food and the service, it really was out of this world. Nothing to much hassle for the staff, The food was the best meal I've eaten out for a very long time and the steak was melt in your mouth and perfectly cooked. Thank-you so very much.

Four of us visited with our dog and received a warm welcome from 3 staff. We were immediately impressed with the interior - warm and attractive. Service was excellent - prompt and very friendly. We chose sharing starters which were great - plentiful and tasty, and delivered quickly, our 4 amins followed a reasonable time afterwards, and each was really nice (chilli/steak/burger/veggie roast from carvery). Our dog, a dachshund, is very anxious and barks when approached, but the staff took to him brilliantly, giving him tit-bits to keep him happy. We were too full for dessert! Highly recommended and we will return asap.

Very nice staff and the food is very good and well priced

Turned up on a Sunday to find it was carvery only. This was really nice. But there is only one veggie option which was a beetroot Wellington which wasn't very nice. Couple of veggie options would be nice. A quorn option or something as the rest is the carvery.

Excellent food. Ensure you book for Sunday Carvery. Ensure know only 1.5 hrs slot. Just need to sort out Logistics when busy of getting sittings out and sittings in. 1300 and 1330 very busy. People need to be informed not a lot of waiting room so only arrive for booked slot (we guilty too but with elderly person who could not stand well would have waited in car for appointed time). Also sitting on Table 5 was drafty at times mentioned. Needs a notice or marshalling on door. Minor tweaks but don't let this take away from Quality of the food and Portions.

Great value and lovely food. Wednesday carvery was excellent.

Very good food and service.We enjoyed our visit very much.

We have been to this pub many times and been very happy, today was different. I had hunters Chicken, it was dry tough and cold as was the plate and the vegetables. The potatoes were described as new but would have been better mashed. The Brockley was under cooked the carrots tasteless. The room was very cold. What a shame as we liked the place, I recommended a friend who has booked a largish family meal. I shall tell him of my recent experience. Not sure if we will ever go again

We arrived at a nearby caravan campsite on the Sunday about 1.30 pm. and wanted a local carvery which the campsite wardens recommended the Teddington Hands Inn. The restaurant was packed but the waitress managed to find us a table for four of us (ourselves and two friends). The food was excellent but my wife was seriously choking on her meal so I rushed to the bar immediately and asked for a glass of water which my request was dealt with immediately by the bar staff. I spoke to the manageress Dione and asked if I owed anything for the glass or water. She said of course not but then immediately went to my wife to see if she was okay and asked if there was anything she needed at all. Because my wife's meal had gone cold (after the 3 of us had finished), Dione returned with a disposable silver dish which was presented with food from the carvery for her to take back to the caravan and warm up later. Dione was such an extremely caring person that my wife has asked me to thank her for her hospitality, consideration and respect that she had shown on that day. If we are in the area again we would be delighted to revisit for another meal and for their excellent customer service. When we returned home my wife immediately made a visit to the local GP who said that my wife had a lung flare up due to having COPD so the coughing was related to a serious health issue and not choking on the food. Finally, sincere thanks to Dione for her assistance and hope to visit Teddington hands Inn again sometime in 2024.

Called in on way home from Cheltenham and had a standard English breakfast. My husbands was great but I have gluten and dairy allergy so not as good. I was given an alternative for sausage, and no black pudding but gf bread was nice. No alternative to milk so had a herbal tea. We were the only ones there! Come on you lot. It's very nice and carvery on Wednesday and Saturday. Give it a go

Cannot fault ,, Great food ,,, Great service …. 🤩

Called in for a Sunday afternoon carvery. Very impressed.

First time I have been here since the new ownership, as was not impressed previously. What a transformation, I came with a friend & we both had the Steak (2 for £26), requested one to e rare & the other medium, both were cooked to perfection. Loved the chips & other sides that came with it too. We finished off with Sticky Toffee Puddings, one with Ice cream & the other with custard, so light and delicious. To top it all you serve Stowford Press Cider on draught (my favourite cider) Amazing value, superb customer service from start to finish & a great venue. I am local so will be back again soon with my other half next time, as she like Gammon steak which you have on the menu. Great experience, thank you.

This place is a definite when travelling on the m5 with kids (rather than services) good food, quick friendly service, outdoor play area, and a petrol station across the road.

The best home cooked roast dinner I have eaten at a pub. Excellent quality of meat and vegetables cooked to perfection. Unbelievable gravy. Very accommodating and friendly staff. We'll be back on next trip to Cheltenham 🙂

Sunday carvery, busy place very efficient service friendly helpful staff, great lunch, and very good value.

Me and my wife come here often and the food is very good .

A really friendly pub/restaurant. Looks olde world but it's recently had a revamp. Staff are great to banter with and the food is always first class

Living in Teddington village we were keen to see if the refurbished pub was any good. Sadly despite how nice the place looked we were very disappointed. There was only one very weak real ale for my husband so he drank wine. The teddyburger came without onion rings which would have been £2.00 a portion if ordered seperately so did not want to miss out. They arrived after a while and were worth the wait. I then found paper in my food and thought it was the greaseproof from between the burgers but it was all over the plate with all the food on top. The pulled pork and cheese burger topping was good but the burger itself was awful. The mayo on the coleslaw was like water. My husbands eggs were over cooked and almost burnt on the bottom. Our excellent server listen to my complaints and went to tell the chef, and here is my main gripe, it was obvious from the reply that the chef could not have cared less. She appear quite embarrassed. I appreciate that because they were no busy they didn't put a decent beer on, but with the attitude we received they never will be busy. We will certainly tell other locals not to bother so they are missing out on a good trade.

Had a really lovely meal tonight , good food, good friendly service . Plenty of space between tables and clean. Good value for money .

Nice Sunday lunch nice real ale lovely dessert staff welcoming and friendly
