Pho Cheltenham offers a brilliant setting in a lovely location, perfect for a relaxed dining experience.
The food is consistently praised as brilliant, fresh, and packed with flavor, with great portion sizes and speedy service.
A standout feature is that about 98% of the menu is gluten free, making it an excellent choice for coeliac diners. The restaurant is accredited by Coeliac UK and staff are knowledgeable and proactive about allergies, ensuring a safe and worry-free experience for those with gluten intolerance, including children.
The menu includes a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes like pho, curries, the amazing rice bowls, and fresh rolls, with many vegan and dairy-free options as well.
I would highly recommend Pho Cheltenham for its delicious, healthy food, excellent service, and outstanding gluten-free options.
Lovely gluten free brownie and a delicious ginger drink. Brownie was one of the best I have had - lovely and gooey. I have marked down though as the gluten free food was alongside gluten containing food and my daughter, who is a severe coeliac was worried about cross contamination and so was unable to eat there. Menu had lots of lovely sounding options for lunch. Would like to see gluten free cakes on top shelf, in a separate cabinet or covered with glass domes to avoid the risk of cross contamination. Also not sure if there were separate utensils for gluten free food or not - if there were then great but if not perhaps have different colour utensils in a separate container to avoid cross contamination. Great service and lovely cafe.
The best choice of gluten free options I have ever seen, fantastic burger, the meat melts in your mouth, amazing onion rings. Great atmosphere, friendly staff
I love it when independent cafes get it right. Really nice staff who clearly care about their customers. The cakes and pastries are incredible and lots of gluten free options. Highly recommend.
Superb chain restaurant for our party - one of whom needed gluten-free and another FODMAP-friendly foods. Lovely smiley waiting staff, helpful and attentive service, and delicious French-style dinner. Very happy! It was my parents' first time ever at a Côte (?!) and they had such a good experience, they're keen to repeat the experience at another branch soon.
So as my finance is gluten free and I am dairy and egg intolerant we love the bottle of sauce. The staff filled us with so much confidence and the end result was blimming amazing. My finance will tell you to have gluten free chips and a burger in a bun that actually is nice is 1 in a million so deffo gets our recommendation. Good value, busy great atmosphere all be it a younger than us crowd we loved it. Will be visiting again.
My wife and I went in the first time for a Saturday morning breakfast. We both ordered a Super 6 English breakfast with lattes. The waitress was very welcoming and smiley and took us to our table, the service was quick, and each latte also came with complimentary chocolate, the breakfasts soon followed. The Super 6 breakfast included, 1 fried egg, 1 sausage, 1 bacon, 1 hash brown, baked beans and toast (ready buttered). Blue light holders receive 10% upon request and this is advertised on the menus. The cost was £6.79 breakfast and £3.25, the breakfast and drinks menu is extensive so offers something for everyone. Gluten free options also available.
Overall I enjoyed my meal here.
- The food was tasty.
- Service was average.
- Gluten free options available but told they were small.
I ordered a beer and a pizza with 3 different meat toppings. I enjoyed my food. Wait times seemed to be average for waiting for food and to get the bill at the end. I would have preferred to pay via a website or prior just so I don't have to flag down the waiter at the end of the meal.
A note for those that are gluten free: My friend was told the gluten free pizza was a fixed size whereas the standard pizzas can be adjusted in size. They were also told that the size was disappointing and that they would most likely need to order more to be full. Based on the garlic bread my friend did order I would assume the server was being truthful as it was quite tiny. So there are gluten free options but the options aren't great themselves it seems.
Came today to catch up with a friend , had a lovely bagel each and shared a piece of yummy cake. Gluten free options were good too the courgette and avocado cake was very tasty.
Food and experience was amazing as always. Abbie's knowledge and discretion in dealing with my celiac disease and needs was a very refreshing experience and makes me feel happy and safe to dine here.
Lovely cafe doing excellent breakfast and lunch food, plus good coffee and cakes. We went both mornings of our stay in Cheltenham and weren't disappointed. It's clear why it's such a popular choice on Bath Road. It has an inviting atmosphere and, like a lot of places in the area, is dog and child friendly. It was great to see that meats are locally sourced and that there were even gluten free options on the menu. They've thought of everything here! Truly a 5* cafe.
Uncomfortably cold visit. The heating in the coldest day of the year was broken.
We never have been so cold and uncomfortable. No worming to the customers on online booking that heating is out of order.
Also very poor choice of gluten free selection.
Very disappointed visit, which meant to be a birthday surprise.

Such a lovely atmosphere with dim lighting and sparkly lights. I had the lamb curry with rice and it was really good! My friend is gluten free and had some sticky chicken which wasn’t great to be honest. Had brownies for dessert which were gluten free with ice cream and they were lovely! There’s a meal offer they do for 2 people for about £25 each which looks really good and includes a variety of things as well as dessert.
Lovely local family run business. Not many places offer gluten and dairy free options, so this is a real treat. Lots of different options to choose from. Friendly, lovely staff too
Our little treat every now and then.. Despite it feeling a little on the pricey side, we treat our self to this coffee shop every now and then because they have gluten free cakes (more than one offering) and a vegan offering (egg and milk free for me!) on a generous size, which probably explains the cost 🙈😁
Nice and tidy pub to visit not far from train station. Shows all sports and staff are really accommodating, menu has definitely improved with more gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options available. Friendly atmosphere and drinks are fair priced. Will be back for future football matches
Lovely food and nice cosy little restaurant. Very relaxed atmosphere and ideal for a leisurely evening meal. We were visiting and this place was recommended by high ratings and if you are looking for a beautiful Italian then this is the ideal place. The chocolate brownie is amazing!!
The menu also states that they have gluten free pasta available so that is worthwhile if you need to know!
A gem of a cafe in Cheltenham. We were looking for a light lunch and found this cafe. The menu was lovely and the food freshly prepared. Gluten free bread. No problem. Excellent service.
Our first visit to Sam’s and oh my – it definitely won’t be our last! The food is stunning. I’m gluten-free and vegetarian and eating out can be a pain but not at Sam’s. Tons of choice – all of it superb. My stand-out dish was the pistachio parfait – wowser!
Service was friendly and attentive, wine (I had the Viognier) delicious. Certain other Cheltenham restaurants need to up their game to compete, methinks. (Super unusual for me to be enjoying the food so much I forgot to photograph any of it!)
The food was really good and a great price. My husband had chicken and ham pie and chips and I had the halloumi salad and it was delicious. We also had puddings here which are fabulous and gave a gluten-free option. Our Waiter Simon was brilliant and everything exceeded our expectations.
