FOR FOODIES CHELTENHAM; FOOD FOR THE SOULCheltenham should be THE destination for food fanatics everywhere, with our matchless blend of High Street and Street Food, independent and award-winning. Topping the bill is of course the two Michelin Star restaurant Le Champignon Sauvage found in The Suffolks, offering an ever-changing, premier menu for the discerning diner. Harden’s, The Good Food Guide and The Michelin Guide lavish praise on innumerable Cheltenham restaurants, from The White Spoon, led by former Fat Duck protégée Chris White offering seasonal-produce-led food, or “Japanese Grazing” no-sushi restaurant Koj launched by Andrew Koj, Masterchef Finalist. Our ambrosia is completed by independents including Lumiere (French), L’Artisan (French), Purslane (fish), KIBOUSushi (Japanese), the restaurant at Ellenborough Park (British), Prithvi voted by TripAdvisor travellers as the sixth best restaurant in the country (Indian), The Curry Corner described by Gordon Ramsay as “exquisite flavours better than in India” (Indian) and many more. They have this year been joined by the notable Ivy Brasserie, which has lovingly restored the Rotunda building at the top of Montpellier and already offers a buzzing atmosphere.

Not to be outdone, Cheltenham is also home to a number of notable food experiences which are perfect on-the-go, or with a smaller budget. Falafel King made the perfect pit stop for Bill Bailey while in town, Paparritos offer a noteworthy burrito, The County Kitchen produce excellent British grub, and Bar & Wok noodle bar has been a firm local favourite for over a decade. The Coconut Tree is a short walk from the town centre and offers Sri Lanken style street food with small dishes that delight, while local, artisan chains such as The Ox (Steakhouse) and Fat Toni’s (pizza) are niche done well.

No food guide can be complete without afternoon tea, and Huffkins, The Enchanted Tea Room and Well Walk Café are all highly acclaimed. Nor should we overlook the plethora of bars and pubs in the town, from the likes of the Sandford Park Alehouse CAMRA pub of the year 2015, The Tavern owned by Cheltenham’s local boutique brand The Lucky Onion, to Wild Beer, the first Gloucestershire bar outlet for this micro-brewery.

See visitcheltenham.com for more foodie fanfare.

Refined elegance and Regency terraces provide the backdrop for great events, restaurants and nightlife. Known for its horse racing, festivals and first-class schools (not to mention spy base GCHQ), Cheltenham has a year-round event programme along with a great shopping and lifestyle offer.

It was a fashionable 18th century hang-out after its famous spa waters were found by pigeons and the enterprising Henry Skillicorne. After a visit by George III, Cheltenham became one of the finest inland holiday destinations for the wealthy to escape the excesses and smog of London life. It is still living up to its billing 200 years later.

HIGH STREETCheltenham’s High Street is the best place in the Cotswolds for your favourite national brands including M&S, Boots, Monsoon and Next. On neighbouring Clarence Street, you’ll also find Superdry, the international fashion brand born in Cheltenham.

Off the High Street is Cheltenham’s premier shopping centre Regent Arcade, home to great names like Topshop, H&M, HMV and Tiger. Children will love the arcade’s Wishing Fish Clock, created by Kit Williams, with its music and bubbles on the strike of each hour.

To further cement Cheltenham’s position as a great shopping destination, 2018 will see the opening of a new flagship John Lewis store, on the site of the former Beechwood Shopping Centre. In and around the High Street there are many great cafés and restaurants including Wagamama. Don’t miss Cambray Place, where there are some great bars and restaurants and the occasional festival stage, and the eclectic mix in Winchcombe Street and Pittville Street.

Dotted around this area you will find some great pubs selling craft beer and cider. They often have live music from local bands or DJs playing late into the night. The Frog and Fiddle is a favourite live music venue with students.

Cheltenham’s premier destination for eating out, leisure and retail is The Brewery Quarter where you can shop, dine, stay and play. It’s a great place to have a drink or a bite to eat and entertain the family. Home to Cineworld with IMAX, and luxury film experience at The Screening Rooms, together with many well-known restaurants including Nando’s, Frankie and Benny’s and the recently opened hip bar and restaurant The Cosy Club. There’s ten-pin bowling at the Hollywood Bowl, Lost World Golf (indoor) and soft play at the Play Farm for the little ones.

The area is home to St Mary’s Minster, Cheltenham’s oldest church dating back to the 12th century, as well as Cheltenham’s museum and art gallery The Wilson. The Wilson has a large variety of internationally important collections including the Designated Arts and Crafts Movement collection, the fascinating archives relating to Antarctic explorer Edward A. Wilson and a regular exhibition programme. The Wilson is also home to the Tourist Information Centre.

If you think of the main visitor area in the shape of a ‘t’ you won’t go far wrong. Take a look at the map which highlights the different areas of Cheltenham.

THE PROMENADE AND MONTPELLIERDuring the day, this area has a Continental feel, with independent and upmarket shopping and cafés that spill out on to the pavements. In the evening you will find a vibrant atmosphere with bars, restaurants and night clubs.

The Promenade is a beautiful tree-lined shopping street that leads from High Street to the areas of Montpellier. The Prom, as it is known by the locals, is home to House of Fraser at Cavendish House, along with shops such as Jo Malone, Cath Kidston and LK Bennett. It is regarded as one of the finest shopping boulevards in the country. Cheltenham Borough Council has its home here in the grand Regency Municipal Offices, which look onto the iconic Neptune’s Fountain and the colourful Long Gardens.

Running parallel to the Promenade is Regent Street, which has numerous bars, restaurants and nightclubs and the wonderful Everyman Theatre.

Historic Montpellier is a destination area where fashion, antiques and lifestyle boutiques sit alongside cafés and wine bars. Last year saw the opening of The Ivy in the stunning Grade I Listed Rotunda. Spot the Caryatids – stone sculptures modelled on the Acropolis in Athens, which add to the deliciously continental feel of the area.

Just off the Promenade you will find Cheltenham’s main entertainment venue the Town Hall. Its packed programme of live music, theatre, dance and comedy is unrivalled in Gloucestershire.

The GardensImperial and Montpellier Gardens are two formal gardens which form an important part of Cheltenham’s Regency landscape and host Cheltenham’s festivals.

Montpellier Gardens has tennis courts, a children’s play area and skate park along with a quieter area for relaxing, which features a small arboretum.

Imperial Gardens stand next to the Town Hall. Relax in the Garden Bar across the summer months and discover the oasis that is Skillicorne Gardens.

For further information about gardens and parks visitcheltenham.com

This area has some great independent shops, pubs and restaurants. The pretty Regency area takes its name from the Earl of Suffolk, who owned much of the land in the early 19th century. Suffolk Parade, Suffolk Road and Great Norwood Street offer a profusion of small independent shops as well as cafés and some fabulous pubs.

The Suffolks and Tivoli have become popular for antiques, homewares and individual specialist shops. It has unique restaurants housed in unusual venues like Zizzi’s in a former church and The Daffodil in an art deco cinema. Here you’ll also find the two-Michelin-starred Le Champignon Sauvage restaurant. The Suffolks community have regular events, closing the streets for food markets and live music.

A short walk from the Suffolks is the Bath Road, a haven of independent shops, cafés and great pubs. Kept a secret by locals, this is a wonderful place to indulge in a real slice of Cheltenham life.

SANDFORD PARKS LIDOA stone’s throw from the town centre, the iconic Sandford Parks Lido is loads of family fun whatever the weather, featuring a 50-metre heated outdoor pool with slides, two children’s heated pools, a sauna, play areas and a cafe.

The Wilson Museum and Art Gallery

This relaxed suburb is home to Pittville Park, the largest ornamental park in Cheltenham, featuring the magnificent Pittville Pump Room, which is the only place in Cheltenham where you can still try the spa waters that made Cheltenham famous in the 18th Century.

Pittville Pump Room sits alongside a new £550,000 children’s play area, which includes water features, climbing frames, a zipline, tyre swings and a pirate ship. To the west of Evesham Road lies the much larger Western Park with a natural woodland feel. Here you can hire rowing boats from the shore of the park’s lower lake. There is also a smaller children’s play area along with tennis courts, a pitch and putt golf course and a skate park.

Pittville is a great place to stroll around some of the finest examples of Regency and Victorian housing in the town. Planned as a ‘new town’ in the 1820s by Joseph Pitt, it was specifically designed on a scale to rival the established spas formerly located in the High Street and Montpellier areas.

On Clarence Road you can find one of Cheltenham’s treasures, The Holst Museum – the Victorian birth place of composer Gustav Holst. See the piano on which Holst composed The Planets, in a house that is an interesting example of Victorian (and Regency) life in Cheltenham.
