Where to eat:
With five unique restaurants in the heart of the town, we’ve compiled a round-up of our JM Socials race week offerings.
One of our latest restaurants on Regent Street is Bao + BBQ. Serving Taiwanese Bao buns, fused with Texan BBQ. If you’re joining with friends, our Master’s Feast Board is perfect for sharing.
Looking for somewhere more casual? Our indie burger restaurant, Holee Cow, just off Cheltenham High Street is perfect for a stop in between race days.
Specials for the week include poutine with gravy, along with our take on the classic sausage and bacon bap…
Holee Clucker is the holy grail of buttermilk chicken… fried to perfection. Join us in The Suffolks for an evening or lunch of fried chicken, sides and cocktails.
A trip to Cheltenham isn’t complete until a visit to The Suffolks. Right next to Holee Clucker on Suffolk Road is Bhoomi Kitchen, our South Indian restaurant. Featuring in the Michelin Guide, Bhoomi also serves an Indian banquet in their Private Dining Room ( for 6-10 people).
Prithvi is another of our Indian restaurants featured in the Michelin Guide. Meaning ‘Mother Earth’, Prithvi’s culinary style is both – incredibly simple and cleverly refined. For a truly special experience, try Prithvi’s tasting menu – composed by our Michelin-starred Executive Chef, Kieron Stevens.
