Brotherfood in Cheltenham

Tried the 5 course menu one evening at Jonas at GL50. The quality was fantastic, superbly prepared and presented with style and enthusiasm by the chefs themselves. The flavours were intense on every course but not over flavoured. The front of house was also very good. This restaurant deserves to be very successful. My only feedback on changing things was that the wine flight, at £45/head for three small (c125ml) glasses of wine each, we thought excessive. Nice wines but (to us) no more so than the wines we would normally chose in a quality restaurant for £30-£40 for the bottle. I think adding just more one glass of wine so you didn’t need to ‘manage a glass across two savoury courses’ would make the wine flight feel a little better value.

The place was severely understaffed in my opinion. Hence the low score. Well located pub. With more staff the pub could be very good I think. Was also a bit cold.

Great homemade food with excellent friendly service. Nice to eat in a family run restaurant rather than the same old chain restaurants. Thank you Ilhan for a great evening!

Another lovely meal here. It was our daughter’s first visit, and didn’t disappoint. For the quality of food presented, we think the price is very reasonable, and they even sell my favourite wine in half bottles, much better if one of the party is driving. We were there to celebrate the end of a long period of treatment I had undergone, and my partridge, followed by lamb were just what I wanted. The cheese board was quite magnificent and very well explained. We can’t wait to return!

Noisy and a lot of very drunk loud people here. At £7.20 for a pint of Guinness I'd rather get stiffed in a nicer place.
