Kemble Brewery, Cheltenham

Small but deservedly popular, back-street local and current Cheltenham Pub of the Year; small, hard to find, but worth the effort for its good atmosphere. Originally built as a butcher's shop in 1845 it became a pub in 1847 (the studs on the ceiling are from where the meat hooks hung). The first owner came from Kemble and made cider from apples picked in the rear orchard. No brewing takes place now. The pub normally offers up to six ales from near and far plus one cider. The single bar can get quite busy but there is a small attractive walled garden where smoking is permitted. The pub is popular with race goers and home football supporters. Saturday opens at 11am for Cheltenham Town home games.

Quiz nights every other Tuesday, acoustic live music usually Thursdays, occasional charity bingo nights and summer BBQ's when weather permits.
