The Plough in Cheltenham

Charming Thatched pub with an unspoilt interior with a good local reputation.Went for Sunday lunch and my party were not disappointed. . Plenty of well cook food and the beef was delicious, and I enjoyed the Atlantic ale too. Good service even on a very busy day. Highly recommended but suggest you book ahead.

Very friendly staff who managed to fit us in without a booking. Nothing too.much trouble. Excellent pies and accompaniments. Good pub menu, not overpriced. Had a lovely rose wine. Would def go again.

Nice pub. Very pretty village, very pretty pub and lovely garden. Good varied menu. Great value too. Pies really good. Good service. Good ales and decent prices. Dog friendly.

Really good old pub great food enjoyable atmosphere and good quality food and good value for money very relaxing evening

Enjoyed a nice meal for a Saturday lunch time with my family. The team serving was friendly, the menu had a good variety and service was prompt. We had a party of 9 and pre ordered food to ensure it came together. Order was correct and food nice. The pub was lovely with an amazing outside area. There was not a lot of parking available (so be mindful if you are visiting at peak time).

Lovely atmospheric local pub. Lovely beer. Food choices great.Staff were friendly and dogs welcome. Lots of families enjoying the outdoor area.

Well done to everyone You had a very busy day yesterday And everything was perfect for me and my family Thankyou All

Had GF fish and chips (medium and large) - tasty! Seating rather poor where we were.

Friendly and well informed staff. Love this place. Food is exemplary and always beautiful. Thank you.

A great pub in a lovely location and a great team. Emma works to hard to make the pub a success

We went for a Roast dinner today 25th August. I had the smaller portion (£8) absolute bargain but unfortunately the meal was cold. The rest of the table ordered the normal size £18 not worth the difference but still cold. I possibly should have complained but they were so busy and the staff were lovely tho.

Dog friendly. Well priced tasty food and beautiful beer garden. Very friendly team.

Booked here for food and drinks after a funeral. They didn't disappoint. Superb food, drink choice and service. Would recommend to anyone especially foreign tourists as a typical old English pub. Smallish but plenty of space to cope with a medium crowd and lovely garden at the back. Thoroughly recommended.

This is an example of how British pubs should be run. From my initial contact regarding a booking to us leaving after our meal, everything was just perfect. Stuart, the fabulous manager, is a credit to the industry. His care, passion and professionalism are second to none, we all thought that he was the owner as he cared so much. All the team were so good, great service, amazing food and a truly fabulous quintessential English pub. The only problem is that it’s in Prestbury and not in our home village, I would be a very regular regular!! Thankyou to everyone for a brilliant time with our family.

Lovely place for a coffee. Plenty of space in the Garden.

We had a wonderful afternoon tea in the garden room to celebrate a family occasion. Staff were attentive and the food was plentiful and good quality. Recommend

A nice local village pub with a play area & good garden

The food was great, the service friendly and the garden a lovely evening sun trap. I had the fish and chips.

Been a couple of times, it was usually ok but this time they told me I need to wait 30-40 mins before I can order food as a walk-in, which I was happy to do. 40 mins later they told me I likely need to wait another hour at least before I can order... There were a lot of other people in the same situation. Needless to say I ended up going somewhere else and I'm unlikely to come back.

Lovely pub with a great outside dining space! Great menu and GF options. Staff were very allergen aware and friendly. Would definitely recommend it for a special occasion or just a treat.

Nice but why do a cider festival and stop food service by 8pm! Went elsewhere for food.

Great pub - nice beer garden too

Annual cider festival. Lots of local ciders on offer at reasonable price. Will be looking out for next year's event.

I have visted this pub on each of my holidays to Cheltenham. It has some of the best IPAs in the world. The fireplace and interior are cosy and endearing. Highly recommended.

Nice bar good food very pleasant garden to sit in

We loved our evening meal here! The atmosphere was very welcoming from the staff and locals. The food was excellent and well presented with a good range of meals and specials. All very reasonably priced. They have a number of awards, which we could clearly understand why! It’s a small pub with beautiful surroundings. On a sunny evening the garden would be particularly lovely place to be relaxing. There is a lot of pride by the staff for the upkeep and the service they provide, which is evident. Not the easiest place to find, with limited on street parking but definitely worth it! Would definitely recommend!

Really good food, great service and fabulous garden

We celebrated a friends 30th birthday party here. We hired the outbuilding which was a lovely space. As well as using the boules area for some garden games.

Nice place, big outside play area and garden. Perfect for families

Popped in on a Saturday lunch for a bite to eat. We both had the loaded fries which were excellent. They had fish and chips on the menu which had curry sauce on the side… sadly had sold out but we will definitely be back to try them!

Went here for my father’s birthday for a celebratory meal. The pub and garden were quite busy as it was Saturday evening and with young children and elderly parents in tow I thought I would be spending my whole time ordering things which would detract from my quality time. I was very pleasantly surprised by the speed and frequency of service. I was in a pub yet we the service staff frequently came to take our drinks orders and checked in. It’s a great location for starters, the food was simple, but the service very speedy which was what mattered to me at the time. I believe that many pubs overcomplicate the food offering and don’t focus enough on service so this was refreshing and I believe a strategy that will pay dividends.

The best pub in cheltenham. Great beer, lovely food and the staff are friendly and super attentive.

Lovely historic thatched pub in a very picturesque setting. You'll need a reservation to get sat near the fireplace.

Attended a birthday party, the atmosphere was brilliant, the surroundings fantastic and the bar staff were brilliant. Would definitely visit again, brilliant place to have a drink in the summer or a cosy winter get together, had a good vibe as an all year venue in a beautiful location.

Very enjoyable Mothers Day lunch with family and friends. Cosy atmosphere in a traditional village pub. Our waitress was very efficient which added to our positive experience.

Mothers Day table of 10. Delicious food, all 10 meals came out at the same time. Everyone loved their food. EXCELLENT service. Lovely environment. 5 stars all round.

We met up for a family get together, with our dogs and we're made to feel most welcome. We all had a light lunch and the dogs had a few snacks. Lovely. Finished with a lovely walk round a beautiful village.

Great pub, with good drinks and lovely food. Plenty of space for when we are blessed with good weather, with shelter for when it's more typically raining!

Good old fashioned pub good choice of drinks

Only here for a half but will definitely return for food. Friendly staff, a peaceful beer garden with kids play area and a separate shepherd's hut with big screen sports TV to keep the footie fans happy! 😂

Amazing pub, friendly staff and great food! A great spot for family and especially for race week!

Good old fashioned pub god choice of beers

The food is amazing. Beautifully prepared and so tasty. They have an incredible selection of gluten free food which was great for my young daughter who is coeliac. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delightful! The food was superb and the staff are so friendly! Thank you for everything!

Had a lovely meal with a small party in the pavilion at the back. The bar for drinks beforehand is cosy and welcoming with a real fire. The food was excellent, olives to start, small plate faggot and a wonderful ginger pudding. Good wine, friendly and efficient service. Prices very reasonable for such good quality.

Nice and cosy and bush. Could not understand how half pint of lager and a drinking chocolate got to £6.30 though....

Went with walking group very welcome. service for a group of 20 was very good portions good. Nice and warm too reasonable. Would return

Excellent. Didn't try the food though.

Genuinely had a great experience here. Went for a long walk and come here for food and a warm cosy spot. Sitting next to the fire was delightful and the food was really good. The quality and quantity were well worth it and even the small plates were great. Excellent service throughout. Would recommend for any occasion.

Lovely Sunday Lunch with the family, great food and wine.

Lovely village pub with great food and excellent staff

We had a wonderful pub lunch whilst sitting in front of a log fire. Very comfortable surroundings, with great staff who made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back! 😁

The open fire was a really added bonus. Lovely traditional country pub with the warmest of welcomes

A very good Thursday lunch. Nice fish pie and fish and chips. Sweets were enjoyed by all. Worth it try.

Nice little homely pub. I know a lot of people like the garden but we visited late evening. Didn’t have food so can’t comment. I would visit again

Perfect summer pub with an amazing garden and kid friendly area with views up to the hills. Never eaten here but really want to. Opening hours favour the weekend so check on timings if you visit early in the week. Good beer and cider selection and the place is a lovely mix of modern Vs ancient. I hear there are rooms beyond the 2 obvious ones?!

Very cosy little pub nice garden and garden room friendly staff will definitely go back

Great staff and lovely food. They managed to fit us in and serve us in good time, considering that they were also catering a private event. Highly recommend.

Very nice place for lunch, good selection on the menu service very fast but not too many people in.

Good burger , busy but good service thanks

Had fabulous fish and chips outside in the spacious pub garden!

We had a family gathering there and we were well looked after by the staff. The manager there went out of his way to make it right for us. Lovely pub with character. Hope to go there for a meal soon. Thank you.

Lovely traditional pub, fantastic staff, great food and excellent beer, what more could you ask for. Can highly recommend the Deli Ploughman’s Lunch

Very friendly. Great beer and inexpensive good value food. Looking forward to returning.

Impromptu Sunday lunch one pork one beef and it was ridiculously good. Lots of high quality ingredients and a warm Plate and a fabulous pint and very good value… faultless really. Also very nice environment and very courteous and friendly staff - thank you !

Visited on a hot w/e for an evening meal. Plenty seating in dog friendly garden area. Food was great and a reasonable price.

Lovely quaint pub, friendly helpful staff with some great seatings options both inside and out! We both ordered the cheese + gammon pie, and it was so flavourful and beautifully presented. Will definitely be returning when I'm back in the area!

I went to a wake here so the atmosphere was appropriate for the occasion. It was a good venue as there are lots of private nooks and crannies to keep it for a wake and separate from other members of the public. Food provided was just perfect and plenty of it.

Held mums 80th birthday celebrations at The Plough from 2pm onwards. An amazing setting, staff were very attentive and very friendly. We ordered the cricket club buffet for 36 people, so much food and a great variety which was all delicious. All family & friends commented on what a fantastic venue The Plough was. Highly recommend. Thank you to all the staff who helped to make the occasion so special and memorable.

Lovely pub garden, fantastic food, would reccommed a visit.

Lovely friendly pub in a stunning location with beautiful garden and play area for kids. We sat outside but the inside looked cosy and authentic. The staff were so kind and helpful. The food was good value and tasty. We'll definitely be coming back.

Noisy, unaccompanied children in garden, upsetting at least 6 tables. Asked barmaid to have a word but made no difference. Avoid garden

An authentic pub, decent beers & friendly staff. Lovely beer garden too. Didn't try the food but will be back to rectify that soon.

A lovely country pub with a great lunch menu and a large child and dog friendly garden. Small and cosy inside with friendly staff

Excellent location - good food - friendly and helpful staff

Pretty little pub with a wonderful beer garden.

Excellent fish and chips... And ales at reasonable prices

Really nice garden, ideal place to take a drink with friends. Large choice of beers, really kind staff. Only one regret, food needs to be ordered not too late. Was not possible at 8PM. But we had a really great time

Super atmosphere quick service.. excellent board of fayre

Lovely beer garden. Classic English pub with thatched roof, opposite the church.

Nice lunch,ploughmans ,great cheese

What a beautiful pub, and for those of a religious bent, right opposite the church. You can treat both body and soul

Great food Definitely recommend the chicken thighs and the jacket potato with brisket.After a tough day, it was nice to do some colouring in too. Helped my mind relax!

Lovely pub. Perfect light lunch sitting in the sun.

Beautiful, quiet, lovely people ❤️ the only problem was bleach in the second soda, luckily enough to smell and taste so I didn't drink it..the first soda or fizzy water was great though. Sat outside with folks and we met a beautifully groomed black show poodle x

This was our first visit to the Plough for some time, and we rediscovered it to be a good place to pop in for a midday meal The ambience is traditional and comfortable; stone slab floors, low beamed ceilings, shades of brown from light bege to old oak, rustic furniture augmented by sympathetic addition of new. The ancient fireplace contained evidence of being brought into operation on cold days/evenings. We were welcomed and our order promptly taken from a hearty menu. Our food was presented in an unfussy, but tidily, on white plates (a sure sign the chef wishes you to appreciate his/her oferings). On this occasion we declined a sweet, our main course had satisfied our older tummies. However the sweets looked seductive. After our meal we wandered the extensive garden with its covered areas, and to one side a fenced play area for children. We recommend The Plough without hesitation.

Absolutely love this pub. Staff are always so lovely and not to mention they love dogs. Gravy bones out for good dogs is always a good sign in my eyes.

We were a party of 8 adults and 3 children. We booked a few days ahead of our Sunday lunch and experienced great service throughout.The roast was delicious and even the potatoes were (almost!) as good as my home cooked ones!! The staff were helpful and friendly and the garden was great for the children. I would highly recommend

Such a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Such friendly staff. Food very tasty. Went on own to have late lunch/early dinner & to watch grand national and felt very welcomed. Such a superb setting. Definitely will return.

This is everything you want from a pub in the Cotswolds. Outdoor seating for the warm days, a comfy lounge bar/dining area, and 'the tap room' which (with minimal imagination) feels like you're in Tolkien's 'Prancing Pony' with it's beautiful wood paneling and open fire. We went for lunch with my in-laws (they are local, we are not). A really good selection of menu options from light bites to something more substantial (really reasonably priced and excellent variety). The Plough has a nice range of real ales and ciders (much to my delight) as well as the regular gassy lagers etc. The folk working there could not have been nicer. Really friendly and welcoming! Definitely going back again... and again!

Another amazing sunday lunch at the plough. Always so tasty and the plate is full. I can honestly say the best sunday lunch I've had in a while. Staff are frienfly and will go out of their way to accommodate you in any way they can. Will definitely be returning soon.

Best lamb roast I've had in a while. Fell of the bone. Very tasty red wine gravy. Plate was full. Very friendly staff that will go out of their way for you. Nice open fire in the bar area. Beautiful beer garden with a children's play area. Friendly locals. Dog friendly pub too

Great pub, good beer and lovely food 5 stars for Ivan !!!!!

Marvelous service very happy team, warm and welcoming. Good food nothing is too much trouble and they are always happy to help in any way they can. Locals are also happy and welcoming. Best pub I've ever been to.

Our visits to the plough are always an amazing experience, the staff are incredible, the food is always outstanding and the selection of beers/ales is fantastic, the atmosphere is always very welcoming and it definitely has the best garden to sit and enjoy the sunshine in the summer! The staff always go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and make the experience a memorable one, highly recommend to visit!

Always our favourite pub! A trip to the plough never disappoints, whether it’s with my boyfriend, friends or family. Amazing food, beer garden is lovely, friendly accommodating staff and a fab bunch of locals - will always be our go to pub in cheltenham!

Dingy little pub with awful food , cold and tasteless, terrible service , just don’t even bother. We went for lunch last Saturday, it was truly horrible and such an unpleasant atmosphere.

I booked a table online for my mums 84th birthday, however when we arrived they had no record of my booking. The member of staff who dealt with us was cross and impatient and did not even try to find us a table. He took...

Compact dining, very good food.
