Cheltenham is one of England's most elegant Regency towns, all white stucco terraces, independent boutiques and excellent restaurants. The Montpellier and Suffolks areas have a brilliant selection of bars and a strong food scene that punches well above the town's size. Our mixologists cover Cheltenham and the wider Gloucestershire area for private cocktail masterclasses.
Cheltenham is England's most complete Regency town, the white-painted stucco terraces, the Promenade, the Imperial Gardens and Montpellier Square give it an elegance and cohesion that's genuinely beautiful. The Suffolks and Montpellier areas are the food and bar heartland, some of the best independent restaurants and cocktail bars in the South West within a few elegant streets. Cheltenham is also the festival town of England, the Gold Cup, the Jazz Festival, the Literature Festival and the Food Festival between them give it a calendar that's second to none.
