The Bottle of Sauce in Cheltenham

I organised a work team meal out and pub quiz at the Bottle of Sauce; what a great choice it turned out to be! Rob and his staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the food was excellent, and the venue (The Canteen) was perfect for our needs. They delivered pre-ordered burgers, pizzas and side dishes for over 30 people, all within the space of about 10 minutes, and catered without issue for several dietary requirements. The burgers, pizzas and side dishes were absolutely delicious. Thanks Rob and the team at The Bottle of Sauce, I can't recommend you highly enough!

Great place & amazing burger, drinks reasonably priced too 🙂

Breakfast had limited options and was very pricey for what we were served. We had to pay for a full price option and remove items when my son only wanted a bacon sandwich so 8 punds for a bacon sandwich is pretty steep

One of my favourite spots in Cheltenham - always pay them a visit when in town. The wings and burgers are delicious, they’re also well priced, and good quality. There are plenty of beers to choose from, so most people should find something they like. The staff are all really friendly and seem genuinely happy to be there.

Delicious food, friendly staff and fast service. Recommend their pizza and lunch deals. Dodo burger and the Bee Sting pizza were scrumptious.

Nice environment but drinks are overpriced

I will not return. The music was so loud that conversation was impossible. It was so loud that the bar staff couldn’t hear what I ordered so I ended up with a beef burger instead of a dirty bird and chips that were so heavily salted they were almost inedible. I’d ordered rosemary chips but there wasn’t even a hint of rosemary. It was too loud to complain because I wouldn’t have been able to make myself heard.

Booked for a work thing. Would return.

Great choice of drinks and the best pizza around ❣️

We had a table of 12 people and the service was great! Always hard to serve a large group but the staff were so friendly, they really did make it a great night! We had our own room too so was fab! Will book again in the future

Food is nothing special but good place to go as part of even a large group for drinks and possibly food.

Very nice burger took a while to arrive but was very good. The problem comes with the chips. To charge £14,50 for a burger by itself with no chips or salad feels insanely greedy no matter how good you feel your food is.

Love the Bottle of Sauce! Great atmosphere. Inside and outside space. Amazing food, every time. What else could you ask for?

Eating a burger and chipped a tooth on some random hard thing in the burger. Manager didn't offer to cover the cost of food or even a round of drinks. Took my info but nothing else, walked out immediately after

Good food and beers.. Great vibe

What a great find. Really cool atmosphere and the food was really amazing. A little pricey but so tasty. I had the Big V vegetarian burger and the insanely delicious Truffle Parmesan Chips. Not a lot of zero alcohol options and the beer menu above the bar needed updating because my colleague’s first choice options were no longer available. Would definitely come here again though.

Celebrated with colleagues and friends at The Bottle Sauce for a party. Lovely venue, Rob and Mel really looked after everyone. The food was amazing. but beware of the spicy wings they pack a punch! Make sure you give the Toffee Wonk shots a try!

Great drinks, super quick service and banging food. Can’t really go wrong - lovely chilled atmosphere.

Terrible service from bar staff. Very rude. Shame because otherwise nice pub space

Great selection of beers. Friendly staff. Nice chilled vibe sat out in the garden. Didn't have food but will be back to try.

Booking was for my 40th party. We frequent the BoS often, attracted by the food service and atmosphere. Decided to have my party their and part of that was to play out first gig. Ordered some predrinks for the guests, had some tables moved, assistance with setting up, spare cables/mics etc. really fun night made easier with helpful friendly staff. 🤘

Dropped in for a Friday after work beer & burger, loving the new bun-less burger in a basket option, and the buffalo sauce still has a kick! They also serve some of the best pizza in Cheltenham, imho. Not our first visit to this excellent Dodo pub and won't be the last... The team are great at dealing with bigger group for food as well, just give them enough notice. I've brought groups of 12 - 16 in the past and always been well looked after.

At 9:30 on a Saturday evening, while sat in the book room a party of six adults and eight children came in totally swaming the area and creating a strange and very far from environment that feels like a pub. Long story short we had to leave the area as we didn’t come out to sit in a creeche. Bad bad bad atmosphere of children shouting buzzare that they are aloud here at this time.

Loved the atmosphere - loved the food - great service too.

Can't go wrong with the monthly karaoke night, and a lovely vibe always. Good beers 🍻 awesome pizza 🍕 and decent burgers 🍔 I preferred when they had the moving mountains vegan option but understand how food inflation meant it had to come off the menu!

One of my favourite pubs, met a couple of friends here for something to eat before heading out to an event, I had the Bee Sting Pizza which was lovely! Fresh and hot with plenty of flavour!

Great little pub near the town centre. Good variety of food and drinks and decently priced. Spacious outdoor area to eat or drink at too. The staff are nice and helpful. They're dog friendly too!

Fantastic pub! Really tasty burgers & beer, interesting music and friendly staff!!

Went here for a work do earlier this year. Ordered a pizza..incorrect pizza arrived. Instead of replacing said pizza, I had to pay for another one. It seems the staff here are incapable of making mistakes. Instead, the customer is treated like some sort of delinquent. Staff need training in diplomacy. Poor.

Pizza and burgers are always 10/10. Buffalo wings are also great.

Great venue room for the Jazz festival and good beer too.

First time at the pub to see a band. Good venue for live music. Beer not so good. Limited choice

Met up with old school friends, husbands and children. Managed to reserve the snug bit. Food was excellent, service really good. Nothing was too much trouble. Games provided were fabulous and kept the children entertained. Great staff, food and great night. Highly recommend for groups .

I’ve just got home from a fabulous evening here . There were 16 of us for my son’s 21st birthday. The staff were brilliant from when I went to chat about booking the private room , to the food order and then the actual evening. A selection of pizza,burgers fries and burger bowls were ordered and each and everyone was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place ,and will be going again . Thank you

I ordered last night a through Deliveroo , usually I struggle to find a good pizza place nearby so I end to give up and order something else. I have tried for the first time and didn’t disappoint at all! I had the mushroom and truffle pizza extra fennel sausage. Pizza was really good , tasty , dough wasn’t chewy , crispy Crust and the fennel sausage was so similar to the Italian meat we use for sausages rather than an English kind of. Will definitely order again and visit in person! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best burgers in Cheltenham 🍔! Reliable, tasty food in a lovely atmosphere. The Bottle of Sauce will always be a favourite of mine! 10/10.

Wednesday night and poppin, good selection of tap beers, very enjoyable over all

Trendy pub with excellent beer selection and good food menu

Very freindly staff excellent service delicous food would recomend

Drinks are always nice although a bit on the expensive side (not more expensive then other places in Cheltenham). The outdoor area is nice. I must say though I always dread ordering anything here as the bar stuff is usually quite rude. I don’t think anyone ever said hello back to me, and if you’re ordering more than one drink they make a face like you’ve just ruined their life haha.

Great good and drink selection - solid choice!

11/10 establishment, the food is equally phenomenal for every visit. We have made this a regular work social trip due to popular demand. Very easy to order and a great atmosphere. Heat lamps are available for most of the outdoor seating.

Good pub for drinks with friends.

Can't believe it's taken so long to visit. Now our go to for a pint and food. Burgers are amazing. Pizza is good.

Decent beer. Decent food. It didn't have much of an ambience and it was really chilly in there, but the staff were friendly enough.

5 stars 👌 great atmosphere, delicious food, friendly and positive service ❤️

Nice local pub on the corner at the lower end of the town center. Always good service so I can't complain. Not tried their food so I can't comment on that but would recommend going when they have events on.

Great selection of burgers and pizzas. Good selection of their own beers and ciders with nice variety. You don't get a lot of fries for the price but burgers are a good size.

My go-to for the best burger and beer in town. Staff could not be nicer. My kids love it here too, and actually eat their food - free jenga, lollies and crayons too. 👌

Best beers and burgers in town. Music selection is brilliant.So chilled out and a great vibe. Its a proper destination place to go and staff are great and friendly. Totally recommended for a great night out, very dog and child friendly too. Love it

Nice venue with a good atmosphere, plus regular events including comedy and music. Good pizzas, but the beer selection doesn't change much.

Absolute gem of a pub, great selection of alcohol with experienced staff that can mix almost everything I can think of. Went for lunch to day and ate some of the best chicken I've eaten in my life, the spices in the crust mixing with the cool, creamy buttermilk was incredible. 10/10 have recommended to everyone I like

Great place. Good food and drinks choice, polite staff and good variety of games.

Very happy to come here, even though it was quite and the start of the day, the out door area is huge, with lots of tables in sun spots which is nice. Food was great, both my friend and I had burgers which included a good range of began/veggie options- they went down really well. Will 100% be back

Not much more you can ask for from a pub! amazing staff, amazing food and amazing beer. Would give more than 5 stars if I could

Great venue for drinks and entertainment, they need to work on promoting events happening at their venue better but they have a good selection of drinks and competent staff...also free WiFi.

Great place for Craft Beer. Always something different to try 👍🏻

Went to listen to a live gig. 1st time ive been there. Great atmosphere. Would go back and check out the food

Must say, the food in this pub is spot on. Buffalo sauce is one of the best I have had, and a £6 lunchtime pizza offer. Awesome ! Great working spot too.

Came in today for lunch with 3 year old. They were great with him. Can't go 5 star as card only.

We used the back room for a 30th party and the staff couldn't have been more helpful even to bringing a fan in as it was a hot day. Great space and you can pass seamlessly between the bar and the room for a breather

Nice alternative / hip local craft beer pub They've just started doing live music/bands which seemed to be very popular. Will definitely come back

Been here a couple of times, great atmosphere, great burgers and pizzas wings and fries, great service - it takes a while because it's all fresh mind. Lovely beers and some nice cocktails. Would definitely go again

Nice food at a decent price, especially with deals. Staff are also very nice and theres free lollies :D

One of the best pubs in Cheltenham. Great beer, pizza and burgers

Popped in for a quick drink. Live, fun atmosphere on a Saturday night, friendly staff, good place to socialize.

Great selection of drinks and the food is incredible! Staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Overall just a fantastic venue. Excellent burgers and pizzas and a great selection of draft beers and drinks. One of the best and most reliable venues in town.

I went on Thursday with my family. When I read comments, I thought they have a good burger but It wasn’t at all unfortunately. Firstly no body came to ask how is everything, because of being busy probably. The burger was dry and burned. I normally give fries to my baby but I couldn’t give this truffle oil fries because of full of oil. I squeezed the fries and it dripped oil, also it wasn’t good quality of oil as it was smelled bad. We couldn’t finished it. Coke cola taste like full of sugar and no acidity at all. they allow dogs.I can understand it’s great to allow dogs but I think if you have a big garden. If you have a small garden and seating area so close to each other, it’s not really good that dog comes all the time to your table. Dog is shaking and full of hair flies everywhere. Bad experience. No returning.

Delicious burgers and pizzas in a relaxed environment. Food and drinks are all reasonably priced and service is always friendly.

Treated all of our team well on our recent company day 👍

We organised a company day out through James @ The dodo works and had lunch at Bottle of Sauce. The space & equipment provided to 30 people was absolutely perfect, just what we were looking for. James and his team were outstanding for organisation & communication, answering any questions I had before the event. Preparing a pre order and had a well organised lunch prepared for us (with names, always helpful when someone forgets what they ordered!) It was the perfect venue for us. 100% recommend.

Had a great Steak frites burger today for lunch, some lovely flavours. Worth a try if you get a chance.

One of the best pubs I’ve visited in the UK! Great drinks and good food!

Ik liep toevallig langs, wilde nog biertje drinken en dus naar binnen. Ik vroeg of ze nog iets lekkers lokaals hadden. En nog geen vijf minuten binnen en ik had al vijf proefglaasjes bier achter de kiezen. Jammer genoeg had ik een reservering 'n uurtje later en kon dus niet blijven. Wat fijne kroeg en toffe mensen achter de bar. Als ik ooit nog eens in Cheltenham kom....kom ik ook in de Bottle of Sauce.

Great food, great atmosphere. Paul & Alex were extremely friendly and you won't find a better burger in Chelt'm. 10/10.

Nice selection of cider, larger and beer. Food looks good as well.

Great for drinks after work, food is great and the blackberry white is one of my favourite drinks. Also good for events with a really relaxed atmosphere.

Great craft ale bar, the food is really good and offers a twist to the usual pub offerings I recommend the parmesan truffle chips

Great pub, brilliant beer selection, really nice beer garden

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good beer. Looking forward to trying the food next time as it looked good!

Love this place. Great food, drink, atmosphere. Well worth a visit and dog friendly

My first visit to The Bottle of Sauce during my stay in Cheltenham was at a lunchtime, primarily to check it out as it was a venue for free gigs during the Festival ( for those not aware the Jazz Festival is three or four main venues around town where you pay to see the big hitters, then lots of other venues including a Free Tent on the main Montpellier show ground, where you get to see bands for free), and I confess on this lunchtime experience, with not many in, I wasn’t that impressed. But then I returned in the evening after dark ! Its not obvious at first but as well as the main bar room and the additional room to the back of this, if you leave by the door to the right that leads to the outside courtyard area with its bench tables, there is an additional long rectangular room called The Canteen. At the far end is the kitchen but at the near end is a small stage. During the day the room is full of additional bench tables, but on gig nights these are removed and this becomes your live music venue. So I returned when the sun had gone down to find the pub packed and the main bar area resembling vertical drinking only and not a seat to be had in the back room and the courtyard. Fortunately the evening crowd of youngsters ( compared to me) were not here for the Jazz and a Latino three piece who had packed out the Free Tent earlier in the day at the main site had plenty of space left in The Canteen for us to slip in and enjoy them in relative comfort, as it was the following evening with another band. On the beer front a few decent Dodo branded craft options for the Millennials and Arkels beers were on the pumps for those after an ale and Hoperation IPA and 3B were available alongside a cider on the third pump and the IPA was a pleasant session pint to sup whilst watching the bands. So this is very much an evening pub attracting a youngish crowd, but during the day it can be a quieter option for a pint and some lunch compared to those pubs in or near the pedestrianised sections of the Cheltenham centre. Perhaps next time I’ll visit for one of the burgers everyone raves about.

Catered for about 20 of us for a leaving lunch. Food was pizza and burgers and delicious. I ordered gluten free base pizza and enjoyed it thoroughly. Service was efficient and friendly! Everyone enjoyed the beer as well. Only 1 issue. When we moved to the yard to be outside in the sunshine there is a strong smell of urine wafting up from the sewers everytime someone is in the gents. If they fix that then this is a 5 star venue. They have clearly made a lot of effort.

Love this place, great atmosphere on a Friday, been pub quiz and fun too. Good selection of tap beers and food top notch every time

Always like this place as food is amazing. Went last night and the food was just dumped on the table on a tray by waitress. She said nothing and walked way - no plates or sauces offered. Very messy food to eat without a plate. A bit disappointed as food is excellent.

Proper 'spit and sawdust' type of pub but excellent service, excellent selection of beers and a bloody good pizza. Everyone is a winner!

Delicious drinks, good vibes, and lovely guys behind the bar. See you soon

Classic bottle they were gearing up for a fantastic music event by the uni good ales on tap

Nice selection of beer, dog friendly and the food's not bad either...

nice food with outdoor seating. good atmosphere. would recommend to go with friends or colleagues for a few drinks if in cheltenham!

Always busy on a Friday night 👍great ales and cider, mainly younger folk, but always a great atmosphere and welcoming. Tough to get a seat sometimes it's that popular early evening. The crowd thins out later on. Music great 👍

Impressive Cheltenham local serving great food (especially the pizza, maybe the best in town!) and a wide range of drinks. The mood changes from relaxed in the day to more intense evenings and it always has a good vibe. I would recommend this place to everyone!

No HD sports, very bad considering they use a projector.

Always a nice place to go. Good beer great burgers and also a quite good pizza

Such s great pub. Went in and felt cosy. The staff were really nice and quick. The Sri ms we lovely, beer and cocktails, and when the food arrived. Wow! Super hot, temp wise, and was super tasty too. First time being here after a recommendation and I would definitely be coming back!

Yep excellent Seoul burger and pint

Kicked out at 9pm. But says serving till 10pm?

Wow that's how to make a burger. Great staff, good cider and a great burger

Had a good office get together, Drinks + Jenga!
