Cotswolds Food Review | The Ivy Cheltenham

The Cotswolds is such a dream getaway! 😍 This time I stayed in Cheltenham — a central and lovely town — and enjoyed a super relaxed vibe: waking up late, having a nice lunch, then exploring the villages. 🏡✨ 📍 Restaurant: The Ivy Cheltenham Beautiful setting + delicious food! Highly recommended 🌟 🍽 Recommended Dishes: Steak Tartare 🥩 They offer two versions: as a starter (served with toast) or main (with chips). The beef quality is excellent! The seasoning is unique — not totally classic, but super tasty. Best part? They mix it right at your table and ask which ingredients you’d like to include. Very customisable! Crispy Duck Salad 🦆 100% inspired by Peking duck 😄 The sauce is sweet and flavourful, served with pak choi, white radish, and cashews. A brilliant East-meets-West dish — really shows the chef’s skills! Lobster Linguine 🦞 Just okay 👌 The lobster itself was good and generously portioned, but the pasta wasn’t fresh — and that really brought the dish down. Avocado Benedict 🥑 Skip this one ❌ Honestly… one of the worst I’ve ever had. 🥤 Drink: Peach Iced Tea 🍑✨ lightly recommended — refreshing and not too sweet! Didn’t try the alcoholic drinks since I’m not a big drinker 🚫🍷 #RestaurantRecommendation #UK #Cotswolds #Cheltenham #UKTravel #TravelUK #LondonDayTrip #BathDayTrip #BristolDayTrip 🍴
