The Kilkeney Inn in Cheltenham

Just stopped off after a dog walk. Shocked by the price of beer. 🍺 £7.00 for a bottle of Newcastle Brown and £4.50 for a pint of lime and soda!! I know prices have gone up but that is outrageous. Your reply says £2.50 for lime and soda. Read my review again and see how much we actually got charged.

Stopped for a Sunday lunch and it was more than worth it! Friendly staff, great atmosphere and AMAZING food. Had a roast pork and it might of been the best roast I ever had. Make sure to give it a visit!!

Came by today for a lovely lunch with my wife. I had a beef and horseradish sandwhich while my wife had the Kilkenny Inn Club sandwhich and it was wonderful! Big portions, tasty food, wonderful staff and a cozy pub. Couldn't ask for more!!

Very enjoyable meal good atmosphere

Popped in for a dinner, great value, great food, great service, top pub. Highly recommend!!

Excellent food, excellent service. Accommodated a group of 6 of us mid travels late evening.

Had a good dinner here. Generous portions and tasty food. Warm welcome. Draught beer was excellent too. Quite a tight operation though, so service constrained. Would recommend calling in though. Nice place.

Checked website for menu and opening times, drove there for lunch to find it shut???

New owners still finding their feet, but all in all an enjoyable experience

We were driving past on a quiet Sunday evening in January, and we popped in for some food. We were pleased to see the place still open and serving. My wife and I both chose the duck cassoulet. The service was friendly, the ale was good (and local), and we really enjoyed the cassoulet. Highly recommended: I don't live nearby but will make a point of coming back next time I'm driving this way.

Christmas lunch … what an amazing time. A huge thank you for all your hard work and the most delicious meal.

Very very poor experience never again it ruined our Christmas here’s why! Turned up thinking our Christmas dinner was £(thought it was too cheap! as our father in law booked 3 weeks ago went to the bar with this menue he was given! The landlady didn’t correct him that this wasn’t the menus! So of course we questioned it very politely! His response look I don’t want any arguments it’s not my problem! You won’t get Christmas dinner for that price!! Totally get it but thought wow that’s rude! We never had no where else to go so continues to stay paying 109 per head at 5 people for this! We waited 1 hour for the drinks we ordered! My neice of 3 had to wait 20 minutes for her food as he forgot to plate hers up! His poor daughter didn’t no what any of the dishes were she was handed them to us giving us wrong food and when asked sorry what’s That she said oh I don’t know il go ask! Our meal finally came out waiting an extra 20 mins for our veg! Which states sprouts and never got them! We had all nearly finished our meal! He was shouting in the kitchen when we questioned about the sprouts! Very rude man! Ruined my Christmas I was struggling with this day as grieving for a loved one! Was very difficult and certinatly didn’t want this or need it not once did any one come up to us and ask if every Thing is ok! I mean I have been left traumatised because of the rudeness and completely left on our own in the pub whilst every member was hiding in the kitchen! I think it was through embarrassment as they apologised to the table of 6 they all left not one of them smiling I mean come on it’s Christmas Day! Thankyou for ruining my day just wanted warmth respect and a smile

Very delicious food, I recommend this place! Very nice service

Booked Monday lunch as convenient to meet sisters. Was empty and cold. Had to ask for heating to be switched on which was switched off before we had finished. Food adequate. Sisters and husband used loos before leaving when lights were switched off. My husband fell against door and hit his head against sink in the dark and cut his head. We will not go there again!!

Amazing time! Family Sunday lunch for 22 of us to celebrate my son's 18th. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, very welcoming, greatservice, wonderful food! No mean feat to get 22 roasts out altogether with no mistakes!!

We stopped by here for some lunch and were greeted by friendly staff. The food was delicious 😋

Well expensive and disengaged staff. Very little atmosphere and very little draught choice of drinks.

We passed this restaurant on our way to a funeral in North Devon on 28/9/23 and after trying to find something to eat in Braunton for lunch and having failed decided to stop here on the way home as the reviews gave the Inn 4.6. However we arrived at 6.15pm and were the only ones there. Unfortunately there was nothing on the mains menus my wife liked the look of, so she decided to have chicken tacos from the pub menu. I love Pork Belly so ordered that and we shared a starter of a baked Camembert. The starter was good with a lovely chutney and flat bread. The Tacos and chips were OK but my pork was poor. The skin which should have been a lovely crisp crackling was the consistency of a wine gum and the fat layer, which should have rendered down into the meat was a slimy gloop. The portion size and taste was good and had it been cooked properly would have very good value for money. The mash was OK but the vegetables of carrots and Stem Broccoli were beyond al dente and just under cooked. Sorry, but not sure you know how to cook Pork Belly. For a meal costing over £75 for two was a disappointment.

Spot on all round, nicest Sunday dinner in long time

A sudden expected stop on a whim that turned into a very lovely few hours enjoying the view the food and hospitality at the Kilkenny Inn. The lovely lady behind the bar said new owner only been there 3 weeks so I can't comment on before but wow what they've achieved in 3 weeks is admirable. She was very knowledgeable on the menus, there's 3 of them and the drink choices and was so helpful and friendly. I could have stayed all afternoon but I needed to continue onto London. I couldn't finish my meal and was given a gorgeous little takeaway box to go. 🥹😍 Great place to stop if you're exploring the gorgeous Cotswolds.

Looks inviting and good car parking and access via the back On first and. Second visit within a week no card machine;cash only as new owners just taken over. Limited beer options again due to just re opened. Crumbles huge and delicious and mist unusual biscuit base type topping. Loaded fries a class act and street food at its best Service friendly. Menu limited at present but on second visit was improved. Bar small but good sized resturant. Good selection of zero alcohol beer. On main road into Gloucester so we used it on return journey from visiting someone in hospital Will be going back to see if menu expanded

New owners absolutely fabulous food open Monday to Sunday all day. Food would highly recommend and stunning views.😊

Very good food,price very recomended food is fresh handmade delicios

We had a few drinks. Very warm welcome.

Best chips i’ve had in a long time!!!! Such a good hearty pub meal, we had the pie and pork belly. Service was fantastic, we didn’t even need to ask for a high chair they brought it over to the table straight away. Very family friendly as well with colouring in for the kids.

Lovely place, fantastic Sunday lunch. Very sad we were there on its last day of trading.

Good service. Good food, plenty of it. Nice decor. Lovely setting. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful pub, very average lattes, not hot and only 3/4 full. Very precious about things like walking out through a tabled area, please! you're a pub not a fine dining restaurant. No smoking at outside tables, which is fine but at least 2 at the end could be. Very OTT. Hopefully the next owner is less precious.

A gem. Staff were wonderful. Happy and friendly. Food was delicious. Poached pear, blue cheese and candied walnuts to start, hubby had breaded prawns with a chilli dip. I went for roast pork, hubby had the beef. Roast potatoes were excellent, crisp on the outside, fluffy in the middle. Beautifully cooked veg, lashings of gravy. Big fluffy Yorkshire puddings, and I had a lovely chunk of salty crunchy crackling. I'm not sure if the horseradish sauce was homemade, but it packed a punch! We ended the meal with fab desserts. Ruby and white chocolate mousse for me, and strawberry and vanilla cheesecake for him. Also, must mention, hubby wasn't sure which beer to choose, so the lovely guy serving us let him try a couple of different ones. Such a shame that the current landlords are only there until the end of this month. We really enjoyed our visit.

Closed. Hours on Google incorrect. Edit: I have updated the opening times on Google. They are now live an hour or two later.

Lovely pub good home cooked food if you drive past turn around you won't regret it.

We stopped off for Lunch and well what a lovely place. Excellent food. Beautiful setting and top class staff.10/10. We will be back

Really friendly and attentive staff. Food was excellent. Price very reasonable.

Well can't fault this place at all, this inn is on the main road from Gloucester, cirencester for either stow, Moreton on the Marsh, Bourton on the water, or other way Burford or Oxford and all very lovely places, But stop here for food and a relax, soon walked in the atmosphere was nice and the staff were lovely and friendly and helpful, And the food was excellent and cooked exactly how we asked and to perfection, Would definitely recommend and be going again, also a nice outdoor seating area.. Went here again last night 31/05/2023 sat in the lounge part which was really cosy and inviting.. Staff still just as friendly and welcoming.. Food was lovely and hot we both had Rolled pork belly definitely recommend.. We have gone different times and days and still find consistent with everything.. Definitely be going again..

Amazing service and food. The staff accommodated our family despite having no reservations on a busy mothers day weekend. The dessert menu was to die for! Best key lime pie. Too bad I didn't take photos of the food. We were too busy enjoying our lunch 😂

Homely atmosphere.. Lovely rural pub

Lovely pub and generous Sunday roast reasonably priced. Lovely staff too.

First class meal and good service, young man that served us very polite and we'll turned out will call again if passing.

Stopped off here with family after a day out, children were hungry, staff were friendly we ordered snacks that consisted of cheese rolls chips ect as we wanted to sit outside and the roast couldnt be served in the garden, unfortunately. when mine arrived the bread roll was mouldy! staff quick to put it right and very appolagetic unfortunately it spoilt it as we were all then checking every mouthful , we will not return 😕

Will go again a bit far for us to go on a regular basis but worth the visit.

Kevin and Jules are simply the best . Great menu. Friendly staff. Lovely pub .

Great food, friendly service, good beer garden, dog friendly.

Lovely food and great service. We will visit again soon when we pass.

A warm and friendly welcome and lovely service throughout our visit. The slow cooked belly pork was absolutely delicious and the BLT baguette and chips was excellent and very ample. We were even tempted to puddings. The double chocolate mousses and the sticky toffee pudding...yum!

Been a while since I visited. Good service good menu good parking easy access Cheltenham Ciren and Cotswolds

Really nice food, good service too

Friendly and welcoming, (without being overbearing!). A perfect self-contained b&b, with an amazing pub and restaurant, serving a great range of food and ales.

Amazing service, lovely food and a beautiful setting.

Very tasty lunch, pleasant atmosphere and prompt service.

Lovely Cotswold pub, beautifully decorated, good food and drink.

Delicious salmon dish - moist and juicy with new potatoes and salad!

Just popped in..very clean..the service and food was excellent A1

Keurig netjes. Prima bediening, lekkere lunch en niet duur. Een aanrader.

I was incredibly surprised how good the Sunday 3 course roast was. It was one the best meals I've had in years. The service provided was also excellent. I'll be visiting again very soon.

A regular spot now, friendly attentive staff, great Guinness, excellent food and really good value for money. Highly recommended

We've been for dinner here a few times now to celebrate several birthdays and anniversaries and have loved it every visit. Beautiful pub, lots of parking, fantastic staff and always a very warm welcome. That's without even mentioning the food which is amazing - we've tried several things from the menu and everything has been absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!

Best brisket I have ever had. Belly pork and burger also looked amazing. Will definitely make a detour here next time I am in the general area. Beer and service also top notch.

Stopped for impromptu dinner as bike night very busy .excellent service ,quality of food Porton hot n cooked to perfection .unlike so many food places forgetting to cook vegetables .Thanks will be back .ploughman's in garden would be idelic .top job one n all.

Didn't see the rooms... Had a Sunday roast , the scotch egg starter was yummy , crispy on te outside slightly runny in the middle ...beef was so tender I could've cut it with a spoon !!. Good service too .

Delighted that the Kilkeney is up and running again! We had a good meal and shall be back soon.

1st class service excellent Sunday roast

Beautiful old pub, ample parking, warm welcome from the landlady and a varied menu comprising of sandwiches, sharing plates and a selection of mains and desserts. Good service, great quality and value across the whole menu - no hesitation in recommending the Kilkeney to anyone passing by or considering a special visit there

Excellent food and a warm welcome from the staff. I would definitely recommend this pub for an evening meal.

Sunday roast, beef very good, roast potatoes dried up as if they were reheated and also the vegetables.

Only stopped off for lunch, so just had a sandwich and some chips but the food was delicious and we'll definitely stop in next time we're passing to try the dinner menu.

Absolutely delicious food, and the staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Good prices, fast service, great food!

Very helpful tonight. Thanks a lot.

Good quality food. Staff efficient and friendly. Would recommend

Fantastic Service Great Food Lovely Atmosphere.

First time here last weekend for a wedding party. Really impressed with the food. All food was freshly prepared and there was lots of it. I'm vegan and I had a lovely beetroot salad, Thai curry and for dessert poached pears. Staff were friendly and service very good. The Inn itself is very cosy and nicely decorated and furnished. Would recommend.

Four of us dined on Saturday night all had really nice meals staff were very pleasant Would recommend and would use more often if it wasn't 60 miles away

The food was super good and the waiters are very nice and bring food quickly

Lovely little pub tucked away on the side of the road - food was fab, service was fast and staff were lovely

Brilliant food and excellent welcome Highly recommend

Only stopped for a coffee but the patio is stunning and the coffee was good

Pleasant ,helpful staff.Great BLT granary roll with chips and salad.Good selection of coffee.

We stopped on the way back from Cornwall, had one of the best meals ever, my wife had slow cooked beef, loved it! My Bellypork was fantastic, Perfection, cannot recommend more, it was a pity we live in Yorkshire, would eat there all the time.

Found this wonderful place purely by chance. What a great spot to chill out with friendly staff and fabulous food. We will be going there again. And again.

A very wall welcome and really great dining

Have passed many times but never had the chance to stop in. Went in today and sat in the garden, which was really nice. Food was excellent (hot pork and beef rolls), and all the guys serving were extremely helpful and courteous. Definitely recommend!

Very good food... never had a bad meal, in the many years I have been going there. Management & staff always polite and professional... always feel welcome.

Fantastic little place. Loved every min of our quick pint on the way through. Gorgeous beer garden once you find out how to order a drink x

Fantastic ! From telephone order to table absolutely super takeaway service - friendly and efficient. Delicious chips and tender fish in light batter! Thank you !

I'm never having chicken kiev again unless it's from the Kilkeney Inn. Ate here twice over the past week whilst on holiday and the food was incredible. Everything tastes fresh and I can easily say the best pub food I've ever had. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend

We have had takeaways three times in the past few months and I have to say that every one has been excellent. Last Sunday we had very tender beef, lovely Cajun chicken and superb Thai prawn curry and all three dishes were delicious. Very friendly staff and efficient service along with reasonable prices make it a pleasure. Well done all of you at Kilkeney Inn, keep up the good work - we shall be back !

Made to feel welcome from the time we entered until we left

Good food and friendly service.

Really lovely country pub inside with pretty garden terrace. Food is first class. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed.

Wonderful place polite friendly staff. Lovely building in and out Food delicious look forward to dropping by again.

Lovely, friendly and welcoming Inn... Lovely food, great staff, well worth a stop if you're passing or add it as a stop instead of those horribly expensive service stations. Great place.

Food OK nothing special, long wait even though table booked

Wow, so glad we found this little gem of a place. From the minute we stepped through the door we recieved a warm welcome. By the time we left we felt like old friends! The whole team were amazing, friendly & funny. The food was as amazing. Our experience was so good we went back the following evening and will return again & again. Would highly recommend to everyone. Thank you guys..keep up the great work & stay safe.......and gutted we missed Harry on our 2nd visit, we did try and find the bp garage !!!! Jayne,Mark,Annie & Oz from Portsmouth

Lovely food and friendly staff.

It is very friendly and welcoming place

This pub is a treasure! The service was fantastic, when making the booking they offered us the best available table in the conservatory which was lovely. When we were running late they said not to worry and despite all the Covid restrictions the table service was excellent and efficient although it was busy. The menu had a good selection and very reasonably priced. Food was delicious and puddings were lush. A lovely experience. Pretty garden and good parking. Would definitely recommend.

Just had a takeaway from The Kilkeney, througly enjoyed it, a very well organised system and very good food. Will definitely be doing it again and looking forward to a proper visit when we emerge from this present situation.

Throughout lockdown the team at The Kilkeney has provided fantastic take-away food with a truly reliable service and an admirably wide choice of food including, it has to be said, the best chips in the county (to go with the beer battered fish or their excellent steak and ale pie).

Great food and efficient takeaway service

Highly recommend the covid takeaway menu. A lovely personal service, great food and a fair price
