It wouldn’t be the weekend unless there’s a brunch involved – who’s with me? I thought so. With so many restaurants in Cheltenham making brunch an institution, it’s hard to know where to go. Whether you prefer them bottomless, vegan, fully carnivore or vegetarian, I’ve searched for the best. Read on for my picks of restaurants offering the best brunch in Cheltenham.

The latest venture from MasterChef champion Simon Wood is located in a beautiful period building in town. With a menu crafted from seasonal produce, you’ll find all your brunch favourites in a casual setting. Check out the classic Woodkraft breakfast, eggs royale, or delicious pancakes with banana, maple, walnut, and chantilly cream. Each dish will give you a full belly and change for a tenner.

Choose the vegan all-day, served with pea and spinach fritters, homemade tomato haricot beans, fresh salsa, and microgreens. The cinnamon buckwheat pancakes with homemade chocolate sauce are equally as tasty.
