The Clock Tower in Cheltenham

We go with my parents there regularly. They like the food, and it is easy for them to access the building and get a table. The staff are friendly and polite, there is a reasonable choice of meals at an affordable price. They always have at least one ale on the tap. Today we were served by Marty and Nikita.

Nikita was amazing she was happy and bright. We did hear what we believed to be a manager using language and arguing with people. This spoilt it a little. Thankfully Nikita was there to save the day. Food was delicious

Nikita was very nice and great with kids. Thank you for the great service!

The 11th of November was the first day of the Clocktower's festive menu which coincided with a family member's birthday, so this was a good excuse to visit and sample the fayre! We've been regular customers for many years and have had few reasons to complain as the food has been of a decent standard and very affordable. The pub has received a make-over recently and is now really smart, and is a good choice for a meal and drink at a sensible price. We have always been met with a warm welcome,and this visit was no exception. We were shown to our nicely set-out table and ordered our drinks: a lager for my wife and two pints of nicely kept Marstons Pedigree ale for my father-in-law and me. The starters arrived quickly. Chicken liver and brandy pate for my wife and myself, and soup for my Father-in-law. All were tasty and a good start. We had each ordered the traditional Turkey roast with all the trimmings. The quality was excellent, cooked to a good standard with generous portions served resulting in three well-fed folk and three clean plates! We don't normally have sweets, but as this was a special occasion we decided to treat ourselves to a Rocky Road Sundae for my wife, and Apple Crumbles for my father-in-law and myself. Really naughty but so nice! The result, we had a lovely meal attended to by the friendly attentive staff in comfortable warm surroundings, what more could we ask for? A big thank you to Huw and staff, it was lovely.

Nikita and Elouise were great hosts and dog friendly 😀🐶

We love this place. Food is great, seating is great. Staff very friendly and you can eve play boatd games, or read a book. Just take from a table next to the bar.

I enjoyed the cowboy burger and and my family enjoyed there food. My partner enjoyed her cocktails which is rare. Our server was Nikita

Such lovely staff very helpful and polite the food was beautiful big portions and really hot and fresh my kids favourite place to eat out

Friendly staff, nice food and reasonably priced. Thank you Nikita & Marty.

We enjoyed a meal with a large family group. The staff were great and made sure the meals come out together despite us ordering separately. Nikita was looking after us at the table and made sure everything was to our satisfaction.

Lovely food and friendly staff, good value for money

Staff very helpful and accommodating. We had some dietary requirements and Nikita sported us out

Fantastic food. Particularly nice Chocolate Fudge Brownie

Little Gem! Fabulous service. Delicious food. Nikita looked after us, and she was brilliant. Everyone we dealt with was professional and courteous. Will be back.

We called in at the Clock Tower on the way home on Sunday. As I entered our car reg into their parking device, the young man on the bar welcomed us to the pub, which was quiet as it was early evening. We were served by friendly Nikita, at the bar. We ordered the Ultimate Southern-Fried Chicken Burger, beef lasagne and Hunter's chicken. The food arrived fairly quickly. The garlic bread was missing from the lasagne dish as was the chicken gravy from the burger dish. This was quickly rectified, as the items were in the kitchen but had been overlooked by the server, who apologised. My wife and I have been to the Clock Tower several times, mostly for lunch after our walks around Severn Springs and Leckhampton Hill. We find the lighter Bites + desert on their Lunch Deal Menu plenty big enough for us. The Clock Tower is part of the Marston's group, so it's standard fare, but we find the staff to be friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Great place great food and great service the ultimate spicy burger was amazing and tantalized the taste buds also ceuzcampo on draught what can go wrong

The food was excellent, the restaurant was really clean. Our server was Charlie, and he was very knowledgeable and charming.

A very clean and friendly restaurant

Sunday lunch. Not sure where to start but it was just awful. We took a 90 year old and 86 year old. Even they struggled. Let me be frank - it tasted like a re-heated ready meal. In fact, I would rather have had a cooked ready meal. The meat was clearly pre-packed and murdered. The mash was lumpy. The 'roast' potatoes....roasted? Microwaved mush. Disgusting. The green beans - how can you get those wrong? It's impossible. Yet you managed to make the bean seeds like sharp stones. Tinned carrots. Horseradish 'glue'. And to top it off it wasn't served hot. Completely disgusting and we won't be back!

Went here yesterday and had a great time

Great place with great staff the spicy burger is a great choice

Went here for Christmas dinner 2024 . It was awful in every way .

The gammon steak was under cooked and the chicken burger was over cooked. 2 basic meals that were awful.

Fish and chips and mushy peas surprisingly very good. The restaurant is what it is.

First time here and we were a party of 15. We were given a room off the main bar so it lovely to all sit together. All the meals came out quickly, hot and delicious. We stayed for quite a while afterwards enjoying our drinks. Everyone there was very friendly and attentive, special mention to Marty and Tash who were great and didnt rush us to leave! Definitely recommend, thank you!

The guy behind the bar was lovely, polite and helpful. The pints of pepsi were served in glasses and not filled to the top, the food was cold and a complaint was made, the food came out the second time a little more upto temperature. Staff were stretched and working everywhere, bar, serving, cleaning. Not a nice atmosphere.

I had a roast lunch . So the price for the meal was alright but the food itself was absolute vile no flavour meat was dry as anything , yorkshire pudding was crispy and crunchi lile crisps veg was disgusting portion was small and just vile . Will never eat anything here again in my life and will spread the word round not to eat here

Table booked for 1:30 today Sunday 22nd Sept. Got there early we wanted a Sunday lunch, only to be told when we ordered there was no Sunday roasts left or vegetables. I could understand if we hadn't booked, but surely if they take bookings they know roughly the numbers to cater for. I was amazed this happened, hence we didn't eat there, but fortunately managed to get in a restaurant near by and had a delightful Sunday lunch

We had a side order of fries with our beers. Staff are friendly and helpful. Nice pub, free darts and i noticed books and games to use. Three internet is so poor here, i had to use local free wifi to access internet.

My husband and i had lunch here yesterday. I had a jacket potato with prawns and salad. The salad was lovely ,tasty and fresh. Tasty jacket potato with prawns in a sauce. Nice wine too. Friendly welcoming staff. Clean and tidy and dog friendly.

Excellent staff, super helpful. Live in Sweden, so to come back to the UK and have fantastic fish and chips in a pub (which is rare!) was brilliant. They do a lovely pint of Moretti too.

Service was quick, food was delicious. Waitress checked we were OK- all staff were friendly.

After there refurbishment, it bright, wonderful service, very polite staff just all round very good , we are a family of 5 plus my mum so 6 value for money , we had a fantastic time. Thank you from the miles family

Have been here before and it was OK but since the refurbishment and new manager I can honestly say this place has got exceeding better. The team are very polite and the food was amazing will definitely recommend The manager is a great character and his love of dinosaurs was a great hit with my 3 year old who also loves them https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g1096724-d2604786-r969213760-Clock_Tower-Charlton_Kings_Cheltenham_Cotswolds_England.html#

Great improvement to the menu since the last time we visited, the thai-style curry was delicious! The team were really friendly and seemed like they genuinely wanted to be there. We will certainly be back the next time we visit family up there

Always used the Clock Tower never any complaints.But arrived with my family 13 of us to remember my late mum.Arrived 3.30 for a family Sunday roast to be told all roast dinners had been sold there was none left.Had a conversation with the manager who to be honest was very apologetic.But how can a restaurant run out off food.An absolute disgrace.The manager did get abit funny and walked away fron our table.Was going to book for Christmas,not now.

Been here with kids food is cooked nicely friendly staff, good environment. We had a 30%off offer for main meal.

Service was great, food was great. Staff were very helpful and quick. In our experience they were very supportive with allergies and went out of their way to make sure dietary requirements were met. We were a big group and we didn't have one issue with our food.

Great place to have a family get together and enjoy some munch. Clean and tidy venue and staff were friendly and happy to help, food was great and didn’t take long after ordering for the food to be on the table for us to enjoy.

Great place great staff and great food

What a splendid day I had out at the clocktower, simply wonderful with low prices and tasty lip smacking deals! I shall be returning, just wished they would sell eggs benedict but maybe that's just me!

Great little spot worth a visit in the cheltenham countryside would recommend the spicy beef burger with double fries 🍟

I have been going to the clock tower for many years and I have always found the staff very pleasant and helpful.

Great staff, great value and lots of fun, would definitely recommend

Have been here a few times since the refurbishment, excellent value, especially with the offers. Excellent customer service, very polite and friendly staff. Food well cooked and good size portions. Good variety on the menu.

Everything was perfect. Drinks and food were excellent. The food was hot.

Love this pub! Food is always good, staff can't do enough to make sure everything is just right & are both friendly & efficient.

Absolutely delighted with the customer service. Lovely staff. Delicious reasonable priced food. Amazing

First visit under new management, massively improved experience all round. Friendly service and great portion sizes.

2nd time visiting this Marstons pub hoping to find some Marstons beer. Only lager available, no beer. Incredible!

Amazing experience all round. We hadn't been for years as it's quite a way from family but received a flyer through the door so booked straight away. Staff were fantastic - friendly, speedy and helpful. Food was great and the price was even better. A perfect visit for pleasing everyone in our large group of 8! Dog friendly was a huge bonus, facilities were really clean and anything else I've forgotten to mention was obviously great too ☺️

Very attractive staff member Albert

Amazing food. The Steak and Ale was absolutely delicious and think these are the best chips I've had. Friendly service, good drinks. Lots of games for kids too.

Came in for a quiet Monday pub lunch. Good, classic English pub food and friendly service. Also has a nice kids menu with a wide range of options.

Nice friendly staff and food cooked perfectly. Nice clean place for family meeting.

Disappointing Sunday lunch. Roast potatoes not cooked - raw in the middle beef was very fatty and served luke warm. Someone in our party had a vegetarian burger with chips which was also luke warm. Not much choice at all for vegetarians. Ran out of chicken by 2pm. Considering this place has had a revamp it needs to up its game if it wants to welcome visitors. Wouldn’t recommend this place and we won’t we be visiting again

Friendly, accomodating staff. Food was average but the staff made up for it. Nice atmosphere too.

We had a lovely meal ,the staff were so friendly,very attentive.just made the evening very enjoyable

Absolutely awful food, child size portions accompanied by an anaemic pig in blanket I wouldn't even serve this to my dog, flat pint and horrendous prices for what it is I WILL NOT BE COMING AGAIN !!.

Beware! You now have to pay to use the Clock Tower car park. If you ignore or are unaware of this, as I was, expect a £100 fine, and I was only being dropped off and picked up - a matter of seconds! Apart from the questionable quality of the food, this charge for parking is another nail in their coffin and a way to add to their already dwindling numbers of patrons.

Food was OK. The waitress was helpful and friendly. There was only a choice of one real ale, but it was a good one.

I highly recommend The Clocktower to anyone, whether you’re visiting the Cotswolds or looking for a casual meal. I recently visited The Clocktower with a friend during our trip to the Cotswolds, and it was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, and the recent interior refurbishment has created a warm and homely environment. The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety on the menu, and it was reasonably priced (we spent about £20-£30 per person). The staff made us feel right at home and took excellent care of us! Don’t miss out on this charming spot – it’s perfect for any occasion! Couldn't recommend it more!

It was good time to me with this restaurant. 👍👍👍 good price and tasteful and large potion 😊 you would be happy with the food and their service.

This PUB is highly-providing very delicious foods and customer services always for all as I believe.

I visited with my family and friends last week. We had burger and mixed grilled and all the food was absolutely fabulous! And staffs were also very kind and friendly! And the space was also very spacious and clean.

Baby friendly , Dog friendly , Big and tasty but reasonable priced food , Lovely and helpful staffs , warm hearted welcome , Clean and spacious !! what more to ask for ? Always satisfied as a regular

Nice restaurant- handy for me as I am a member of nearby gym. Prompt service. Ran out of steak so had to have an alternative which was a shame.

Five meals from menu not available. Burgers were over cooked. It would be helpful if you supply pencils and paper so we are able to write down what we need as no service available

The pub atmosphere was very nice and clean and nice☺️ Especially, the burger was so delicious. It was the best pub I've ever eaten in♥️

I ordered hamburger so loved it. nice food. great service.

Haven't been here for a good few years and won't be going back! Had the Monday special, Pie and a drink. The pie was microwaved but just edible, chips and frozen peas. The drinks on the menu most weren't available, only options available were in their "extra charge" section. Meals were served with a side of what was supposed to be gravy, hmmmm! Yes, that is congealed fat you can see on the top of the coloured liquid that was supposed to be the gravy. So disappointing after having been going here for many years, their Specials board always offered excellent choices. Below average and would not recommend.

Very decent food for the price. If you haven't been for a while, I recommend you try it. Much improved.

We booked our table as it was a Sunday. Greeted by staff and allowed to sit wherever we wished. Ordered the food and drinks from a good menu. It arrived very quickly and was hot and above all delicious. Would recommend a visit.

This was our 1st time visiting the Clock Tower, it was a light lunch for an overnight stay at the Doubletree for 2 x 60th birthday celebrations, there were 4 of us in the group, on arrival the outside looked welcoming, and on entering the restaurant looked light and airy and very clean, the bar are was well stocked and clean & tidy, the bar staff were helpful and polite, ordering was quick and easy as well as payment, The waiter brought all our food out within very reasonable time, and was extremely helpful in getting us sauces etc we asked him to take a photo of us all which he happily to do for us, the whole experience was a lovely chilled few hours we weren't pestered to leave our table as we have been at some other places, the whole experience from start to finish was a nice chilled time and the ambience of the restaurant was welcoming and relaxing, will definitely return. well done to all your staff and management on a truly welcoming pub and excellent food. thank you for starting our weekend off with a bang.

Lovely welcome. Beautiful food fairly priced too.

My husband's steak was fatty and chewy and when I told the waitress she said "Oh I'm sorry" and walked off! I asked for chocolate fudge cake with ice cream in a separate bowl but it came together so I sent it back, the till was playing up so it took 10 minutes to pay my bill, overall the food was ok, nothing special

Lovely staff , very friendly and attentive.

Wow a lot has changed since my last visit Had a warm welcome from the staff food was excellent and didn't take long to arrive

We had a nice time at the clock tower, would recommend

Staff are lovely. So helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Food was served quickly but cooked perfectly. Really tasty. We visit quite often and always have a great experience

After a poor steak, complaint was handled in a caring & professional manner. Well done. Other food was satisfactory.

Quiet enough to get some food and a drink it the evening. Fair price and good amount of seat options. The younger staff member struggled to find the fries button on the till so said we couldn’t have them, we persisted and had to encourage him to keep looking because it’s on the menu and that’s what I want, he eventually found the button. We visited the following night and the same staff member still couldn’t find the fries button that he found the day before. our encounter with the manager was good but his staff could do with a little more training!

Service and food excellent. Always a good experience. Highly recommended. Great food and good quality, service and menu.

I was immediately concerned with cleanliness when I saw the front door, which was filthy. It was not busy, yet bar service was slow and no engagement by staff. They were miserable. The food was okay, but the plates and cutlery were filthy. The waitress was lovely and seemed to be the only person in there that cared about her job. I would not recommend and would not go again. Considering it has just been refurbished I was expecting better!!

We decided to go out this evening to celebrate a birthday & wedding anniversary. We were a party of five. Our order consisted of starters and mains. The breaded mushrooms were very over cooked-too crunchy. Three of us had burgers of varying kinds. They were okay. Another order was Doner kebab which had very dried out kebab meat. The other which was a complete disaster was the 8oz aged sirloin steak. I have never seen such an awful looking steak. It cost £15! The waiting staff were pretty good apart from when our mains were brought out, we had to ask for cutlery, which when brought over was just left on the corner of the table. I was very disappointed as it’s not often I eat out with the family. It’s a shame as we are local & it could be a nice place to visit.

Nice surroundings and good staff spoiled by the meals being lukewarm.

I was very disappointed that my shareholders voucher was declined. It was accepted last year. I won't be returning for food unless this is changed, which is annoying as there's no other Marston's pubs near Cheltenham.

Very disappointed! A wasted chance at a new exciting start , food was bland and just warm ,tasted like a microwave roast, staff not interested in anything , not welcomed not asked about meal , not offered dessert or more drinks , atleast there was value when it was buy one get one free and the staff waited your table , now it’s seriously overpriced for what you get ,embarrassed to say we’ve been there , a real shame and others were saying the same sorry 😞

Still the same quality of food disappointed ordered fish and chips, garden peas was literally a teaspoon same as scampi and chips, ordered hunter's chicken , chicken was dried , and we had the smallest onion rings disappointing

A party of 25 for a 60th birthday, four of our party waited and waited for food only to be told that the food app was not working correctly, very disappointed with the service 😑

Met up for a friend's retirement meal, lovely food staff friendly nice atmosphere

Bar staff and kitchen staff were all sound nothing was a problem, beuatiful service and cannlt recommend more ........

Had a very pleasant visit and it was great to see the new refurbished look. The staff were great very friendly & the food was good also enjoyed the new darts board. Will be going back soon.

Came when staying at hotel next door. Recommend the steak, excellent value and very tasty. Wide and varied menu, with lots of choice.

My parents and I had lunch at the clocktower Mum had hunters chicken and chips, dad had a mixed grill and I had fish and chips. We enjoyed our meal, the fish for me was lovely it had nice batter and the fish was lovely Staff were amazing Paulina was attentive and friendly and worked hard and the chef outdid himself

Unfortunately there were a few problems. Due to a severe allergy one member of the party couldn’t eat anything on the menu, the scampi was left as it was very bland, my order came without the peas and another person asked for salad but didn’t get it. Twice we asked for water on the table but that never appeared either.

Have been to the clock tower a few times and the staff are all extremely friendly and inviting the atmosphere is lovely and cosy I've never been on a Sunday before but this Sunday we came in and I ordered the turkey roast which I will say was absolutely beautiful would highly recommend the food and hospitality at the clock tower is always amazing

Staffing and service was very poor
