We called here for lunch last Sunday as we were very impressed by the menu. We refused to sit where originally suggested as the back room smelt musty and the tv was on, not great for conversation. We ordered drinks, which took an age to arrive even though 5 were cold and only 1 a coffee. The food on the... More

OK but nothing special. Don't have the mushroom risotto - it's really not very appealing. Tastes Ok but i'm not into 'mud' coloured food! More

went hee for a quick luch, my mum and sister were pre matinee theatre and another companian was on a lunch break, despite explaining to staff we needed to be quick (and asking what dishes would be quickest for kitchen staff and ordering upon suggestions) seemed to an eternity during which staff argued loudly amongst themselves in front of customers....

From day one, we have always been welcomed. The staff and chefs are great and do take care of you. We have been many times, especially Wednesday's steak night. We have invited our friends to enjoy the experience of two mains (steaks) and a bottle of red; good value for money! As often as we can, we walk in to... More

I know Red Pepper and in fact was one of the first to review it. So, our date at the Jazz Festival was a good excuse for supper there once again. We chose from the pre-theatre menu; an artichoke and sundried tomato tart and mushroom, bacon & blue cheese salad. Both were delicious. We both had the fishcakes as a... More

From the slightly damp table napkins and sticky table top to the poor quality lamb in the lamb Tagine and soggy vegetables this was a very disappointing experience. This is a shame because Red Pepper is in a very good position close to the Everyman Theatre. I would like to see independent restaurants do well, but you only get one... More

We decided to try the bistro but we were disappointed due to a few reasons; The table wasn't ready for us when we arrived. No music playing, a bare room and bright lighting meant the atmosphere was severely lacking Table service was very slow Not terribly good value for money Mobile card machine wasn't working so had to wait 10...

Visited Red Pepper last week for a pre theatre meal. Fantastic value at £10.95 for 2 courses or £13.95 for 3 courses. As we were worried about the time we just pre ordered the 2 courses, we both had fishcake to start followed by rib eye steak for main course. The service was so efficient that we found ourselves able... More

Visited Red Pepper on a recomendation while staying in Cheltenham for the weekend. Whilst the food was good, the service was not as good as other reviewers have said. All the waiting staff were young girls and not what we expected. I was looking forward to the Monkfish tail Thai dish; however after taking my order the girl came back... More
