Delicious food and really reasonably priced. Came for my birthday with my family and everyone was very impressed at the quality and price of the food. The specials were also really innovative.

Popped in for a late breakfast after a wedding on our way home down "South". Lovely location in the courtyard, and the sun was shining so sat outside. But it went down hill from there. We were served fairly quickly for drinks but we didn't get them for about 15 minutes. We asked after 25 minutes if food coming and the first plate came out about 10 minutes later. Mine came about 5 minutes after that. We ordered the full English and the eggs Royal. My dish (eggs) was pleasant but the full English wasn't great and tasted like it had been cooked in old cooking oil. Because the food had taken the better part of 35 minutes we had to rush our eating as we were on a tight schedule. Staff were pleasant but by the time my food came I was so distracted by thinking where is it, it became quite stressful! Disappointing. Wouldn't recommend for that reason. And not just us. Looking at others waiting you realised that the service from the kitchen was slow. They need to sort that out.

We were visiting Cheltenham for the first time and found Gallimore's recommended online by a local reviewer. Lovely meatless Sunday lunch, good service, relaxing afternoon and great value.

Unlike some of the other comments, the staff were very nice and helpful and food arrived very quickly. However, both our starters had been burnt and the mains were very dry and tasted almost out of date. If you go there for the food, don't bother, it's not worth it at all

This is the second time we tried this restaurant. The first time the Eastern European woman ( not ) greeting possible diners was so rude and so abrupt we didnt stay. This second time we tried again. The same rude and unhelpful woman was there and once again shouted I want the table back in just over an hour ( there was no-one sitting outside except for us and no-one there when we left) ..no good morning, no smile, no help. I dont know how many customers this woman costs the owners but it must be many. She is such a bad choice for front person. The breakfast was ok.

Very disappointed with my experience. The staff member was on her own but there were only 3 tables of people and the delays were not acceptable. A couple demanded they be served first, even though they were the last in, and as such everybody had to wait for them. A customer walked in for a takeaway coffee, meaning the person behind the counter was too busy dealing with them to do our drinks. Overall it was about a 20 minute delay for a coffee and a lemonade. Also the staff member was complaining if she is expected to work on a Friday she needs more staff backing her up. It was 3 tables she needed to wait on. That?s it. Definitely disappointing. Based on this experience I wouldn?t come again.

Really disappointed with both the food and the service. The crockery was dirty and we had to ask for a replacement more than twice. The main course arrived before they cleared the starters and dessert was brought without cutlery. Meanwhile the number of glasses accumulated on the table and were not collected even when they brought the coffees after desserts. As per the food, it was mediocre at best and inedible at worst. We left half of a dish on the plate and we?re not even asked about it when the plates were collected.

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. I went here for lunch one Saturday and it was lovely. Had a great fish of the day and shared mussels and oysters. All good and nice sitting on the sun, reminiscent of a Mediterranean lunch. I was looking forward to returning and went on a hot weekday evening and it was a different experience. Service was incredibly slow. We waited half an hour for a drink. I think they could have at least placed a carafe of water on the table whilst we waited. I felt very dehydrated after a hot day. Maybe the place was understaffed but this is too long to wait. The moules marinière was nice but I don?t think it?s acceptable to serve packet long life baguette in a restaurant like this. Decent baguette can be sourced in Cheltenham. I assumed the witch sole, special of the day, might be like Dover sole but it was flounder. It came unfiltered and was really not good at all, slimy skin and not much flesh. I complained and the waitress took it off the bill. We were left disappointed by the meal so now are unsure whether to return despite loving the first time.

My friend and I shared the seafood platter which was divine! Sitting outside on the courtyard with the sun shining, eating seafood felt like being on holiday

Great Sunday lunch! The food was really really good, amazing roast beef and the eton mess was to decadent and delicious! The price is great value and the service was wonderful.

Very enjoyable Sunday Lunch. Really good beef but my co-diner felt the pork could have been a little warmer. The service was good, the wine excellent - as were the desserts. I would definitely return - no mean feat as two of my last carefully selected 3 Sunday Lunches has been poor.

Really good, honest cooking. Not the biggest menu, but enough choices. Light and airy atmosphere. The Manager/waiter needs to work on his people skills though.

A wonderful Sunday lunch at a very reasonable price. I had the melt in the mouth roast beef and an interestingly different selection of roast vegetables? I particularly liked the roasties and parsnips. Very friendly waiting staff. Comfortable surroundings. Easy booking system. Would definitely return but would have a jug of water next time rather than pay an eye watering £5.70 for a glass of lemonade
