Revival Cafe Bar & Grill in Cheltenham

Normally a favourite of ours!!! Today we were seated at a corner table, not a problem, waited and waited for them to take our order, couldn't even get there attention, then 2 couples who came in after us and had only been seated for less than a minute had their orders taken, so unfortunately we left ???

What a great breakfast. Best in a long time. Nicely cooked and service was great. Would definitely recommend. A little gem.

We have been coming here for years, family owned and run , plenty of seating very clean and tidy the staff are always happy and pleased to see you, prices are very fair for being in central Cheltenham, food is always excellent, Highly recommended

Nice interior (if you discount the jangly Christmas musak), reasonable coffee but nasty claggy sliced bread and yucky over processed sausage. Overpriced. Waitress pleasant but overstretched

We were in Cheltenham to do a bit of Christmas shopping and we’re looking for somewhere for a coffee and a bite of breakfast. We stumbled upon The Revival Bar & Grill and are so glad we did. We received a friendly welcome into a great space. The menu selection is varied and has something for everyone. I chose the Revival breakfast which was delicious and ample to fill me up. The coffee is organic and again fantastic. I recommend The Revival Bar & Grill as a great place to stop and take stock whilst being in town for shopping. 👍

The food is ok for the price. The service wasn't great.

Fantastic Family run restaurant. From the first minute you step in and until you leave feeling full and content the customer service you receive is spot on. I would personally say the best fried breakfast in town by a county mile! The full house is amazing sets you up for the day and they have smaller breakfast for ladies also. You will not be disappointed.

Polite and attentive staff. Coffee and food (I had an English breakfast) is great too. Atmosphere is quite cozy.

Top quality breakfast as always

The menu has changed since our first visit, it feels more streamlined. The food is delicious and I’ve eaten there a few times and enjoyed everything I’ve ordered. The dining area is quite small and packed in with tables. It would be very difficult to manoeuvre a wheelchair through the space which leaves the only option to be sat by the accessible toilet. It can also feel like you’re eating on top of other people.

chip portion could be better but otherwise lovely food

Lovely breakfast 🤤 good coffee. Always lots of specials on the board....keep meaning to pop in for lunch.

Plenty of space inside with extra space upstairs had a good choice of menu and reasonably priced breakfasts, lunches, sandwiches jacket potatoes Service was good no long waits for food to be served and nicely presented and tasty Staff were excellent and did not rush you Just needs to work on poached eggs as they were hard

A bit dated but friendly enough

The food was amazing, we had a full house breakfast and a revival breakfast. Came so fast, and the staff were all lovely. Recommend for anyone as it’s reasonably priced and it takes student discount and blue light card.

Amazing food, highly satisfied! Staff were also lovely and provided a great experience for me and my friends, great addition of allowing student discount as well!

Good cooked breakfast and very reasonably priced. Quick and friendly table service.

Emma was wonderful and the food was great

Breakfast was luke warm at best this seems to be the case with alot of mainland Europeans chef snwho have no clue what the word hot means really disappointed and dissatisfied won't be recommended to anyone by me orange juice also tasted very funny

Lovely cafe with really great food - menu has lots of choice and something for everyone! Smoothies are great 👍

Cheap breakfast but great food. Our Saturday breakfast club loved it. Will definitely be coming back when next in Cheltenham.

Breakfast club graced the presence of The Revival café this week and, oooo weeeee, what an amazing experience. Great food, Great staff, Sublime service. Shall return with the wife and kids.

Regular visitors to Revival. Friendly and professional staff. Great food as always . Our go to place in Cheltenham . See you next time

A great spot for decent food and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff and owner were so kind to us, especially our toddler. Will definitely be back for breakfast.

Service was amazing as always Food delicious Well presented Good times between meals Friendly approachable staff Clean and tidy

Firstly this is not the restaurants fault it's the delivery. The food was cold after waiting 2hrs for food.

Went in for dinner and came out very pleased. The food was beautifully cooked I had sea bass and the portion and taste was perfect I left feeling full and happy. The staff were very friendly it was a lovely vibe 10/10 will recommend. I’ll be back for date night

Great breakfast and lovely staff

We're regulars and have enjoyed choices across the menu; the food is always hot, fresh, and arrives quickly. Perfect for any time of the day. Wonderful people and chefs, always friendly and great to be around.

Where is my food?? I didn’t receive nothing

Amazing food with a lovely atmosphere. The waiter (Mel) was very helpful too.

Lovely, welcoming place to eat. Very attentive staff. Delicious breakfasts. Will definitely be back to try again when in the area.

Very good food and great service

I’ve come here a few times and the food never misses😍, Staff are so welcoming and lovely, 10/10 would deffo recommend!!

Wonderful staff and service, affordable and nice interior

Great service, friendly staff and great selection of food for a quick lunch

Wonderful place to eat. We ordered 2 breakfasts and they came within 10 minutes even though they were very busy. We were served by Emma who was so friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. We were also lead to our table straight away by another member of staff. Will definitely be eating here again. Great value for money.

Lovely staff, only had a light breakfast but it was lovely

Always friendly and welcoming, food generally nice and been many times.

My go to place for a breakfast! Always order the vegetarian . Good price the staff are lovely too!

Love this cafe/restaurant. It's our usual place to go. The staff are always happy and cheerful. Always gets into conversations with us. Food is amazing and quick service.

Wonderful service, flexible with ordering and dietary needs and a very relaxed easy environment. I would recommend to anyone Thankyou

We come here frequently. Food is great and the staff are lovely. Always feel so welcome and nothing is too much trouble.

Great food with good value for money. Mel was our waitress and she was very kind and provided amazing service. Student discount is available here.

Great food and drinks, staff are lovely and attentive. Always have a good meal here. Would recommend to friends.

I come to revival frequently as it's my favourite local place to eat. The price is more than affordable, the food is always lovely and the service is great. I've been coming here for many years back when it was Poppins, before being rebranded to revival, and I'm sure I'll keep coming back :)

Service, food and staff all lovely. We did enjoy.

We came in & had eggs Benedict & Super Six breakfast. Drinks & food were amazing with great service to boot! Not the first or the last time we’ve been! Recommend & will return!

Proper food, proper service, bosh!

I am a regular customer here and have been for years. A great place with really good, reasonably priced food. Highly recommend.

We arrived after the kitchen closed and the owner was lovely in allowing us to stay and eat anyway. The food was very good and the owner was utterly charming. This saved our night after wandering around trying to find somewhere to eat and failing. We had a really enjoyable time here and would recommend.

Fast service, best cooked breakfast in Cheltenham and good pricing too

Everyone was so nice the food was amazing. Best veggie sausages Iv had in so long! Thank you so much

Love coming here with my daughter she loved the child jacket potato with cheese and beans.

Had a lovely breakfast with my friend this afternoon. Would recommend this place for food. Great service as well. Thank you. I will be returning again soon.

Lovely cafe. Definitely visiting again. Great choice of food.

Owner and staff were attentive and friendly, quick service but high quality and delicious food. Interior also nicely decorative and comfortable

Tremendous cooked breakfast at a reasonably fair price. Black Americano was excellent and staff were spot on. Highly recommend.

We recently had lunch here, and it was an experience worth sharing. The meal was nothing short of exceptional, both in flavour and value. We ordered the grill mixt and shepherd’s pie, and both dishes exceeded our expectations. The grill mixt was a hearty selection of perfectly cooked meats, each bursting with flavour. The shepherd's pie, rich and comforting, had a beautifully seasoned filling topped with a golden, fluffy mash – the very definition of a classic done right. But the true highlights of our meal were the desserts. The apple pie was a delightful blend of sweet and tart, with a flaky, buttery crust that was simply irresistible. The carrot cake was moist and perfectly spiced, with a cream cheese frosting that added the perfect touch of indulgence. It was the cherry on top of an already satisfying meal. Adding to the experience was the service – attentive, friendly, and efficient. The staff made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our meal.

Have eaten here before , always good previously . This time , my husbands gammon was the usual high standard, but my chicken burger was dry,tasteless, with barely any salad . The lovely waitress was disappointed for me , as we enjoy eating here, but I left the restaurant still hungry, as I couldn’t eat all my food . I will stick to my usual favourites in future . The chicken skewers are reliably good !

Met family for breakfast, service was great, all the food was good with good portion sizes. Will be back at some point

It is my favourite restaurant and I recommend 💯

Just happened to stop by for lunch and was not disappointed. We had the lasagna and Burger and both were great. The owner was super friendly and chatty and helped make the experience a very positive one. Great place.

Food is good, great atmosphere, staff were very cold with us which was very strange.

My family and I visited Revival for a quick lunch snack before we went to a nearby escape room- it was excellent! The restaurant looked newly refurbished, with plenty of seating (both indoor and outdoor) lovely big windows, and an open kitchen! It was really nice to be able to see our food being made as we sat and waited. All of the tables were clean, and we were waited on well during our visit. Revival offer a range of hot drinks, soft drinks, and alcoholic drinks- there is truly something for everyone. Similarly, the menu also offered a wide selection of hot and cold meals such as sandwiches, omelettes, pub classics, and salads. Furthermore, they offer a variety of daily/weekly specials which can be seen just above the kitchen. I opted for a coronation chicken toastie, which was served alongside a dressed salad. There was an option to upgrade to fries also for a supplementary cost. The coronation chicken was marvellous. The chicken chunks were tender, coated in a delicious coronation sauce, served on perfectly toasted bread. The side salad was dressed in a combination of balsamic vinegar and a pesto olive oil which gave it a really delicious flavour. My family had a ham and cheese omelette and chips, a bacon and cheese toastie with dressed side salad, and a cream tea- all of which received high praise! Our waitress for our meal was lovely also, she ensured everything was ok with our food and that we were well looked after during our visit. Excellent service! All the staff in the restaurant were lovely for that matter. Overall a 10/10 experience, good portion sizes, tasty food, and wonderful service. What more could you want!

Great food, price and service. Went with friends for a quick breakfast, seated quickly, order was taken and food was out shortly after. Super friendly, great value.

Average bar popular with locals. The evenings are quite cheerful and lively there

Helping out the locals, love it

food was cold, no cheese on the jacket potato, missing one of the kids spaghetti bol too.. won't be ordering again

First rate food and service, all at a very reasonable price. Family friendly and highly recommended.

Lovely place for food. Great staff and always pleasant atmosphere.

Nice place with good food. Quiet for a Friday night. Friendly staff and good value. Calzone was huge and tasty

Super little lunch break. Looked after by Emma and husband loved his pizza and draught lager. I need to eat lighter and soup of the day was lovely. Very chilled vibes- shall return for cocktails.

We went in the afternoon around 4 for some coffee and cake there. Coffee was alright and the chocolate cake was dry, stale and overly sweet! We couldn't eat it and I wouldnt recommend their cakes at all The sweet potato fries were great and the service was friendly and prompt

Excellent meal, tasty, well presented and served in a very pleasant atmosphere. Knowledgeable and friendly host who helped make the experience memorable for all the right reasons. Highly recommended and will certainly be back again soon

Visiting Cheltenham for a weekend away, we enjoyed an excellent sirloin steak dinner, fantastic service, friendly staff. Pleasant, relaxed environment. Excellent value, definitely recommend.

We stopped here for lunch and had a coronation chicken baguette and a tuna sandwich. The worst we have had, lack of filling, dry and poor value for money. I don’t mention it til I left cos I couldn’t be bothered with the fuss but I did inform them of my disappointment. Baffled me how this place is number 1 on trip advisor.

Visited this place a couple of days back. Food was okay. But then things went downhill. We ordered a chicken english breakfast, the server came up with vegetarian. When we said we ordered a chicken, she rolled her eyes and was so disrespectful. My mom by mistake spilled her smoothie. No server came up with a set of tissues or roll to wipe that up real quick. We had to ask them for one, while I could see them having a little giggle around the corner. Awful service, no thank you’s, no greetings. Super disrespectful

Food was quick, hot and delicious

It was surprisingly better than I thought it would be. We've walked past Revival Cafe Bar & Grill many times, yet we've never ventured inside until this weekend. We visited on a busy Saturday afternoon in March. There was a friendly greeting at the door, and we were shown to a table for four on the first floor. The restaurant was nicely decorated, it was very clean and there were no tables with dead cups, trays or plates. The staff were friendly and the service was good. The menu is quite extensive, with breakfast served all day. Prices are very reasonable and the servings are pretty generous. Our drinks arrived first shortly, followed by our meals. All hot & as ordered. The food was good. I had the sausage baguette £4.50 whilst my wife had beans in toast and my daughter a bacon baguette. The food was simple and inexpensive. Payment was straightforward, and as we left, we were thanked for our visit. Good straightforward reasonably priced simple food, not fancy. Sitting upstairs seemed better to me, spacious and lighter and not so tightly packed in. Level 9 Google reviewer; 900 plus reviews, 1.5 million views and over 12,000 photos with around 45 million views and still going strong 💪. Check out my other reviews 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟.

Good food at a good price. Only place we’ve visited offering non pork meat with a breakfast. Well worth a visit Relaxed vibe

Friendly service and good food, affordably priced. Welcoming and warm atmosphere.

Went today for lunch and it was very quiet only people in there, very relaxing atmosphere staff are very friendly and was very happy with lunch

We really enjoyed our Sat afternoon lunch at Revival, the staff were very friendly and service was excellent. The quality of food was amazing, generous portions and cooked to perfection. We all cleared our plates which is a good sign! Will definitely be back next time we’re in Cheltenham.

Popped by for brekky when travelling from west to east, good quality grub, they separated the beans, eggs and ect. like a normal person too! 10/10 quick, tasty and friendly

The USP of this place are their all day cooked breakfasts. We came here six months ago and had eggs benedict and it was unbelievably good. Our latest trip to Cheltenham we had a sandwich and it was pretty plain and something you could have easily made at home, which was disappointing. Definitely worth having a cooked breakfast here. Smoothies are decent as well.

An excellent place for lunch. Very busy, but service was prompt and friendly. Good food - very varied menu including all day breakfasts. Definitely recommended.

Absolutely disgusted as ordered food for lunch and expected delivery within 20 minutes (only round the corner from the shop making the food) No food arrived - called shop who said to ring customer services - no customer service telephone number and refund will take up to 7 days

Rude toxic no respect to Deliveree drivers

Very attentive staff and good food quality

One of the best places in Cheltenham for food ands drinks. I specially enjoyed the cocktails there,friendly staff, spotless and fresh food.

Really lovely meal last Saturday, before we went to the theatre. Lots of choice, reasonably priced, nice atmosphere and great staff, thank you, we will be back!

Delivery time kept changing. Ordered at 17.00 Was supposed to arrive at 17.40 but didn't come until 18.56. poor service on justeats part !

Lovely tasty food . Apart from one drink missing very nice 😍

Such a wonderful place. If you’re looking for a tasty bite then head here. Friendly attentive staff, great menu, reasonably priced and always a warm welcome. Slightly sheltered outside seating so you can watch the world go by! Perfectly located two minutes from the Regents arcade!

Had business lunch and booked a table, the service was excellent, polite and friendly staff. Food was good we had steaks, pizza and steak... highly recommend

Came to Cheltenham for a couple days to celebrate my birthday, started my birthday off with an English breakfast - of course. We were served straight away by very polite waitresses, our breakfast came very promptly and was delicious 😋 the sausages and bacon🥓 were my favourite part 🙌🏼

It was cosy and warm (cold night) and they served me a great steak. It has comfortable seating and good service so I reckon it deserves 4 stars. I nearly dropped them a star because they served a Gin & Tonic for my wife without lemon (had to ask) and there was no alternative to slimline tonic (yuk). I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this time but if it happens again, definitely going down a star.

Nice food and reasonable price. Highly recommend carbonara.

Very friendly and welcoming. Super quick service. Good plentiful breakfast. Fresh produce. It was also nice to see the owner shaking hands with regulars, making chat with customers and keeping an eye on the running of the restaurant. We will be returning for breakfast in the future.
