Gallimores Kitchen — Restaurant in Cheltenham

After reading all of the positive reviews we were excited to try this place out. What a disappointment. The restaurant was entirely empty apart from a group of women at the start of an early vino sesh - which, fair play to them, but being seated directly next to them in an otherwise empty room, made thinking hard, let alone a conversation. My starter came out within minutes which always makes me think its been microwaved, however, giving the benefit of the doubt and putting that aside, almost everything I had was burnt. The garlic bread was charred, the burger bun was black, and the burger itself looked like it hadn't seen moisture for days. My partners wasn't much better. I left with that charcoal taste of carcinogenic burntness that stayed with me for a while. On the up side, the waitress was prompt and attentive (likely given to us being the only people there aside from the pre drinking club). Unfortunately because of the limited customers, this prompt attentiveness meant I could see the waitress out of the corner of my eye most the meal watching us eat.

I booked this restaurant for 28th July for a special occassion. I wasn't a local, hence had to book it based on our love for seafood and the customer reviews. I must say it was an above and beyond experience, mainly due to the passion and care of the restaurant manager Sarah.

So the first impressions were fantastic. And the food too was lovingly and tastily prepared. All the staff were very friendly. Great atmosphere. Loved every bit of our...

My brothers and I were in Cheltenham after completing a cycle event recently and were looking to refuel. We happened across Gallimores Kitchen by accident, but were very glad we did. Initially there were no tables available inside, plenty outside, but they took our phone number and said they would call. Sure enough 45 odd minutes later they called and we made our way back. The food and service were excellent throughout our visit, especially the sharing plater for one ha ha. The desserts, wine and drinks were also of an excellent standard too. Considering the quality food, drink and service that we received we thought that the price was very reasonable and without doubt wholly recommend Gallimores Kitchen. I will certainly return if I'm ever in Cheltenham again. Thanks for a...
