The Tavern

5 Royal Well Pl, Cheltenham

If there’s one thing The Lucky Onion group does well (aside from boutique Cotswolds hotels), it’s great food. Its first property, trendy local The Tavern has just relaunched with extended hours. The focus remains on a short but solid menu of comfort classics. Go for a burger made with local dry-aged beef – our favourite comes with house sauce, pickles and a side of chilli cheese fries. For the more pious, a beet salad with mozzarella does the job. An ideal place to drop by if you’re light in the pocket area after the Cheltenham Festival.
