The best restaurants serving British food in College Cheltenham South West

Wonderful food, super friendly, and a gorgeous place. Brought my goddaughter here for lunch and we had a fabulous time.

We visited for brunch on 2nd January. Lovely cafe with a lovely welcome. My son ordered the Woodcraft breakfast, my husband ordered Huevos Benedictos and I ordered the smashed avocado on toast with poached eggs. We all had tea and orange juice. The brunch was delightful, delicious and generous ... the perfect size for my husband and son. The service was fantastic too and the ambience perfect. Thank you.

The cafe/restaurant has a lovely menu, very nice staff and nice decor/chairs/environment. We ordered a coronation chicken sandwich and two drinks - lemon presse and fresh orange juice. The sandwich was actually a roll and the contents contained very little chicken. The menu does mention chutney and mayonnaise but chicken breast is the first ingredient mentioned. The filling was more like a pickle with tiny dots of chicken. And it was quite definitely not a sandwich.The lemon presse was a lemon juice with water on the side which would have been ok but it was £3.50 from memory. My orange juice was lovely. So very mixed and quite expensive for what it was - there's a difference between an £8 or £9 sandwich and roll. I accept cafes need to make a profit, but customers also need reasonable value for money and to be presented with something resembling what they ordered.

Delightful ambience and helpful staff, but more specifically the BEST mocha with oat milk I’ve ever had. Thick, creamy, delicious. Highly recommended.

Lovely food, atmosphere and service

lovely fresh food, well packaged

Really lovely evening, staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Saw it described as smart yet relaxed which fits perfectly. Will be going back!

A group of us needed a meeting place fairly last-minute, and Rosie and her team went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They provided hot drinks and breakfast baps which were delicious, and even lit the fire as it was a really cold morning. Nothing was too much trouble and we are so grateful, and impressed with the genuinely warm welcome and service provided. Thank you Rosie, hoping to come back and try a Sunday roast at some point soon 🙂 Genuinely lovely people, 100% recommend.

Highly recommend The Strand. Great staff, great customers & great music. I've had some unforgettable nights in there!

First ever time coming here,and It most certainly will not be the last,the food was amazing,really nice atmosphere as well,we will definitely be returning soon 10/10 👍

Food is consistently fresh and tasty, especially the home made steak pie, when it is on the specials board. The Sunday roast carvery is fabulous and worth every penny. Always busy, so booking a table is a must.

Fantastic coffee shop, my coffee from here is always spot on! Lovely and quiet, friendly staff and just a lovely place in general.

Such a cozy atmosphere! Came here with coworkers to have a pint, get some food, and watch the euros game and it was a perfect place for all three. The starter platters were amazing and I would highly recommend getting a few for the table. I loved my fish and chips and I heard the other meals were good as well.

We were at Andi Oliver’s book launch about her traditional cooking , there were 165 covers all being served at more or less the same time and you could tell as everything was overcooked or dried out , there was also a “service” charge added to our bottle of wine, the girl didn’t know how to do it without……they didn’t pour the wine so no actual “service” we were lucky enough to have a banquet seat but others were perched on barstools on small high tables !

Called in for a late lunch. Friendly, helpful staff. Food was hot and served quickly. Decent, not overpriced food with free refills of hot drinks.
