Where to eat Contemporary food in Cheltenham: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Find out what Contemporary restaurants to try in Cheltenham. Cheltenham was just your average, sleepy town until the discovery of a spring in 1716, after which it became Britain's most popular spa town. (Like Palm Springs without the casinos.) Local Cheltonians have a reputation for being wealthy and respectable, and a walk along the Promenade will give you a first-class view of their wonderful houses, shops and gardens. After taking in the waters at the Pittville Pump Room (great name for a spa), check out the Art Gallery and Museum to learn about the social history of Cheltenham.

We visited Star Bistro at the National Star in Ullenwood for afternoon tea for my mums 80th birthday with the family and have to say it was an amazing experience. From the first email exchange with Pete Johnson to confirm numbers etc, to the moment we left the bistro after tea, the service was exceptional. Star Bistro is small enough to offer a personal service and it feels like they really care that you enjoy your visit. Head chef Joe Parke emailed to check any favourites he could cater for our bespoke afternoon tea. Everything he provided was simply delicious, there was so much variety, colour and flavour, from the prawn and chicken cones to the rhubarb jelly with honeycomb. We ate so much we rolled out of the bistro and what we couldnât finish was wrapped up for us to take away. If you visit any of the hotels around Gloucestershire offering afternoon tea you wouldnât get a comparable experience, simply because itâs so personal and the staff are so friendly. Our tea with soft drinks and bottomless tea or coffee was £18 per person, or you could have a Prosecco tea for £24 each. The bistro is open 9am to 4pm Monday to Saturday serving fresh, local produce for breakfast and lunch and a variety of cakes made by the college students, and also hold specialty evenings. It might not be in town but trust me, youâll be glad you made time to visit. Star Bistro also supports the work of National Star College so you know your money is being put to good use rather than profiting a huge chain.Thank you Debra for your very kind review and we are really pleased you enjoyed the afternoon tea which is one of our specialities. By eating with us you help support the work of National Star delivering the aspirations of young people with complex disabilities, so thank you, and we hope to see you again soon.Pete JHead of social enterprise

The food was good but what stood out was the pleasant atmosphere and good service. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff - in particular Julia - added to our experience by being professional and efficient whilst being cheerful, funny, helpful and fun.

Enjoyed a very tasty meal here this week. Mushroom starter was delicious - and generous. Mains very nice too. Its always a nice, relaxed atmosphere in Morans with great service & good food. Didn't have that day but the daytime cakes etc are certainly worth having.
