The Tavern

Went on Easter Monday and it was so quiet. The French dip sandwich was a misleading as it came in a hotdog bun but was still very tasty and filling. Steak was juicy and flavoursome the salad was actually seasoned well too. The potatoes could have been crispier in my opinion.

Better late than never!! We had a fantastic family experience at The Tavern on Christmas Day.. .20+adults /children , for their set Christmas day lunch menu. The food was expertly cooked...all the traditional stuff...with some twists.....and lots of extras. All food was served in bowls and platters and put on the table for us to serve ourselves, which really suited us. There was ample...it just kept coming. ..we could have fed another 10 people!!!....so yes...we took lots of doggy bags home! With some of us having never eaten out on Christmas Day before...it was noted that it did feel like we were 'at home'.....completely relaxed in the atmosphere and ambience at the Tavern. I don't live in Cheltenham, but will definitely be returning to the Tavern at some point again this year. 10/10 from all of us....well done for catering so expertly for such a large number. All staff were so professional and so accommodating.....nothing was too much.

Ordered the French Dip, but they should call it the French Dreamy Delicious. I ate it a week ago and I'm still thinking about it. 100% written by a human because no AI can truly appreciate how good this tastes and would write a positive review so poorly. Anyway the staff are great too.

Had a great lunch here. Really good proce for an EPIC French Dip! Service was spot on. Great selection of beers. And £5 frozen Margaritas?!?!?! Hell Yes!

Probably the best service I've ever received when celebrating someone's birthday! The upstairs area was a great place to sit for a special occasion and the server went above and beyond to make my husband's evening special, which we both really appreciated. I also wanted to highlight how understanding the server and chef was about my allergies which doesn't happen in a lot of restaurants, which made me feel very safe when eating. The food was such a high standard, affordable, came out quickly and very very tasty! I will be recommending The Tavern to everyone I know and will definitely be back soon, thank you so much for a great evening! Also I don't know the name of the two servers we had but it said 'Sam' on the receipt but a massive thank you to the both of you, we really really appreciated the kindness!

We loved having lunch here! Sam was absolutely lovely and attentive throughout. The Sunday Roast was incredible, easily one of the best we’ve ever had, if not THE best. We only wish we lived closer so we could come back soon!

I would firstly like to say that I don't write many reviews on places I have visited, but thought a few things needed mentioning on this visit. We booked a table for 12.45 and arrived at 12.30, we're seated no problem, but my wife was sat in direct sunlight which was hurting her eyes, so we asked politely to be moved to another table. Which eventually we were, felt like we were a nuisance. Anyway we brushed that off. And ordered the sharing Sunday lunch which looked lovely. And we had read other reviews which said so. It arrived and to be honest it was just warm , would have liked it hotter. Especially as it was sat on a board and with no other ways of keeping it warm. The food itself didn't seem to have any seasoning and tasted boring, I wish to point out that I have had Sunday lunches at many different places and this tasted bland, I added salt but didn't make much difference. The beef was raw for me and my wife, I like medium beef not pink would be nice to have been given a choice. The carrot was split lengthways so we had a carrot between us, same as the parsnip. The pig in blanket was a bit enimic. 3 things which were lovely...the roast potatoes, the cauliflower cheese and the pork, although would have also been nice to have crackling on the pork. I went didn't like the looks of the chicken so didn't try that. We also felt a little rushed and a slightly not a ease, because the waitress seemed abrupt and not overly friendly, although she did seem happier to talk about the oysters etc...which were being served. We asked for the service charge to be removed and also suggested that the food could have been hotter. The drinks were nice, negroni lovely, espresso martini nice bit costly wine nice. Don't think we will be going back. But would be nice if this review could be acted upon.

Beautiful Sunday roast sharing platter. Really made my wife feel special on Mother’s Day. Big thanks to the staff.!

We initially came here for drinks but after reading over the menu, we decided to grab a bite to eat. We each got burgers and fries and it was delicious. The staff was very friendly. The atmosphere was casual but cozy. The seating was very comfortable. They had a broad selection of drinks. Would definitely come back!

Taken here by friends not really knowing what to expect, and we were really in for a treat! The quirkily menu (spam frittatas to start) had a British twist on American classics (burgers, ribs, mac cheese etc) and all was delicious and plentiful! Nice if slightly pricey cocktails (should some be more expensive than some mains?) Staff friendly, helpful and welcoming. Give it a try!

Every dish we had was delicious. Superb food at reasonable prices. Michelin Bib Gourmand award!

Nice, cozy spot with kind people. We had a great time. Hubs got hot wings, which were tasty.

Pricey (esp their drinks), but exceptional quality. Great atmosphere, and good staff. Booking essential.
