Highlights: Venison burger, fresh ales, fresh salads - fresh in general is a good description and the atmosphere is clean but also warm and cozy. Highly recommended if you want a casual but excellent bite to eat.

Great location in the center of Cheltenham Town for drinks and excellent food!! I've come in here…read moremany times over the years when visiting, as the location is really convenient and a great meeting spot. The great elegant English bar always impresses me with large shiny taps, proper glassware and lots of beers on tap. The food is always great here with a wide variety of items available. This time around I went with a couple of classics I usually can't find in the States; Scotch Eggs followed by a Steak and Ale Pie!!! The scotch eggs, which have undergone somewhat of a rebirth recently, we're absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly!!!! My pie was good but not great, served with fat chips (fries), peas & carrots, the crust was slightly overdone and on the dry side, although the tasty gravy helped with that. A few great local beers and some valuable time spent with friends and family made this, and most experiences at Copa, 5 Stars!!

There's a substantial selection of fine liquors and wines, with very knowledgeable, friendly staff to guide your palate. It looks a bit small from the street, but there is seating downstairs and, if it's not too cold, out the back. Of course, it's also in lovely Cheltenham, near other Montpellier pubs, and so you should be here really. I find it impossible to be in Cheltenham without paying a visit- this time for some rum and prosecco. Yum. Be warned though, it's not the most wallet-friendly place and it can be hard to stop!

This place is the perfect student bar. It's located right by FCH campus, and offers a selection of…read morebeers and ciders with student discount. It also has an area for bands to perform and regularly has band nights to go to ( some are free others are super cheap). I'm pretty sure it still has pool tables upstairs too, so if you're looking to pass some time on a Sunday afternoon, it's a great place to spend with friends. If you're not a student, then this place is "ok". I wouldn't avoid it necessarily, as the staff are always nice, but it is more of a grungy type of place, and unless you're wearing all black, with a lot of eyeliner on (just the boys), then you'd probably be more comfortable down the road at a bar in the middle of town.

They closed the kitchen down due to cost and space issues and it now has a bring your own food policy. This is pretty good until evening comes around and you get the stench of a dozen different take-away food smells... In the summer you can escape the smells by sitting in their beer garden. The staff are pretty nice and prices are standard. Also, if you like playing pool, they have 4 tables upstairs. They also have a sofa up there- my friend and I snatched it to escape the noise yesterday. Its a busy place and not much is wrong with it but like the star rating says "Meh. I've experienced better".

The restaurant has a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and serves up an American-style BBQ menu. Portion sizes are big and the quality of the meat is never in doubt. On this visit I discovered their chicken wings, which have to be the best chicken wings I've had in the UK, and I'm struggling to remember any wings sampled in the U.S. that would beat them! The secret is definitely in the coating - I'm just gutted I didn't discover them sooner! Their southern fried chicken burger is my favourite burger from here, however unfortunately on this occasion they served it with blue cheese on top rather than the regular cheese I asked for. No problem though, they were more than happy to make a fresh burger which was just as delicious as always. The Surf, Bird & Turf Combo and BBQ Ribs are also great choices. My biggest plus about this place though is their fries; the best fries I've ever eaten. Consistently awesome on every visit, beautifully crispy and well-seasoned. Big 5 stars from me as I've had 5 fantastic meals here, and they have Brahma on tap which is a bonus.
