Best Lunch Restaurants in Winchcombe

Lovely atmosphere, great food and fantastic service by friendly professional staff

I have been to this restaurant 3 times and for me it is the best place in Cheltenham so far. Every time I try different dishes they are wonderful, my last visit to the restaurant was on January 7th and I was a little disappointed, the location is wonderful, the staff are professionally trained, the interior is laconic, but my dishes did not bring me pleasure this time! The shrimp cocktail salad had wilted greens, they changed it for me but the second option was not better (the lettuce legs had a reddish tint, which indicates that the salad has been stored for 3-5 days already) this is not acceptable in a restaurant of this level. The second course was beef cheeks with mashed potatoes. The degree of roasting of the meat corresponded to the order and the texture was tender, but the bitter taste of the fried crust on top prevented me from enjoying the meat (it seemed to me that the upper part of the meat was overcooked). And so the last visit to the restaurant did not bring me pleasure from the food, but we had fun and we had a good time!

Enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon at The Holt, afternoon tea was lovely, nice atmosphere and decorated with Christmas tress and a lovely fire. Nice to have warm scones as some places do not do this, and nice sandwiches and cakes. We needed to do a last minute change with the sandwich's from their menu, and the were very obliging to do so.

All staff extremely happy, friendly and attentive. Felt that the food could have been a bit hotter. Must admit that the roast beef was quite tough.

We’ve been dining for 3 nights at the Holt hotel and every time it was delicious and the service 10 out 10, a bit expensive but everything is I guess these days. Highly recommend the restaurant and the hotel! 🥰
