Where to Eat in Cheltenham

Find somewhere to eat or drink in Cheltenham. The map and list below show 504 restaurants, cafés, pubs, bars and takeaways, each with the hygiene rating the Food Standards Agency gave it at its last inspection. 429 of them hold the top rating of 5.

A hygiene rating tells you how well a venue handles food safely, from how the food is prepared and stored to how clean the premises are and how well the business is managed. It is not a review of the food, the service or the atmosphere, so use it alongside your own taste. Select a pin for a venue’s rating, when it was inspected and a link to its official record. The list doesn’t include opening hours, and venues change them often, so check a venue’s hours before you set out, especially for evenings, Sundays and bank holidays. If you’d rather see every rating band, our food hygiene ratings pages list all 1083 food businesses in Cheltenham, and five-star venues has just the top-rated ones.

FAQs

Do I Need to Check Opening Hours?

Yes. This page lists venues and their hygiene ratings but not when they are open, and restaurants, cafés, pubs and takeaways often change their hours, close for private events or shut on bank holidays and quiet days. Check the venue's own site, social media or phone line before you go.

What Do the Hygiene Ratings Mean?

The Food Standards Agency scores food businesses from 0 to 5 at inspection: 5 is very good, 4 is good, 3 is generally satisfactory, 2 needs improvement, 1 needs major improvement and 0 needs urgent improvement. The rating covers food hygiene and safety, not the quality of the food or the service.

Which Venues Are Included?

Every food business in Cheltenham that the Food Standards Agency classes as a restaurant, café or canteen, a pub, bar or nightclub, or a takeaway or sandwich shop. Hotels, schools, shops, caterers and mobile food businesses are not listed here, but you can find them on the food hygiene ratings pages.

Why Is My Favourite Place Missing or Awaiting Inspection?

New businesses appear once they are registered with the council, and are marked as awaiting inspection until the council visits. A venue can also be classed under a different type, such as a hotel, in the Food Standards Agency's data.

Why Are Some Venues Not on the Map?

A small number of venues have no location recorded by the Food Standards Agency. They are still in the table.

How Often Is It Updated?

The ratings are refreshed every couple of hours from the Food Standards Agency, so a new rating appears soon after the council publishes it.
