A hidden gem in the heart of Cheltenham, we are right behind the Promenade and a stone’s throw from the Tivoli Cinema, the Everyman Theatre, Montpellier and obviously, all of the great shops.
With a unique menu from chefs Toby Refoy and Dan Richards. Bringing you a food emporium of eccentric curiosities. Worldwide inspired dishes with urban ingredients and an unforgettable cocktail list to match.
Parties, private hire, exclusive use, walk-ins, work spaces or afterwork drinks…. Whatever you need, we’ve got you covered!
Our beautiful venue is designed over three floors. A perfectly gorgeous ground floor with a 25 ft long bar, our mezzanine occasion area (perfect for parties) and a secret basement bar (shh...). Pop in and say hi!

    The waiting staff were lovely, friendly and attentive. I don’t like giving poor feedback but the food, however, was not so lovely. Shredded venison was what was served. A cut of venison cooked medium rare was what had been anticipated. Average food at London prices. So very sorry I could not be more positive.

    Menu is short but even then it was difficult to chose as all the dishes were appealing. Food beautifully presented and delicious. Wide range of gins available and our wine was excellent. Staff were very attentive and friendly without being intrusive.

    Great to be back in The Clarence Social. A little rusty after being closed for so long due to the pandemic. Our waitress was very helpful and friendly. It’s quieter upstairs. The vegetarian option of aubergine and lentil pithivier was original, tasty and well presented with its accompanying salsa. We will certainly go back.

    Great atmosphere, lovely staff, amazing food. Just a shame about the noise from the bar area - couldn't hear people on our table! But, would definitely recommend!
