SHARP'S Doom Bar Bitter (H)
ULEY Bitter (H)
GUEST BEER Regular (H)
This Free House was run for over 100
years by the Cheshire family. This
single bar pub is now run by young
management, keen to keep the pub
traditional. Clientele is mixed, but the
younger element is being encouraged.
Local produce is cooked fresh on the
premises and is available 1200-1500
daily. Sunday lunch is particularly
popular (booking advisable). Music is
kept to a background level, but may rise
on a Friday or Saturday evening. Often
busy, the atmosphere is always warm.
Etched and stained glass windows help to
promote the traditional feel of the pub.
Ideal base for visiting Cheltenham Town
Hall and the Cricket Festival at the
nearby Cheltenham College held in July.

Small but deservedly popular,
back-street local; small, so hard to
find, but worth the effort for its good
atmosphere. Originally built as a
butcher's shop in 1845 it became a pub
in 1847 (the studs on the ceiling are
from where the meat hooks hung). The
first owner came from Kemble and made
cider from apples picked in the rear
orchard. The pub normally offers 5 ales
(2 regular and three guests) and offers
good value, home-made food (not served
Sunday evening). The single bar can get
quite busy but there is a small
attractive walled garden. The pub is
popular with race goers and home
football supporters.
