Lovely place to eat; beautiful food and lovely friendly staff - was noisy but couldn't be helped because of larger Christmas parties. Second time of eating there and will definitely go back.

staff very friendly, we had a groupon voucher which we both thought was value for money, we went early sunday evening on a wet cold day, not many people in there so the atmosphere was a bit lack lustre.

The food and wine was excellent as was the abeyance of the venue which made for a pleasant evening for my wife and I. Overall the experience was very good and I would recommend the Chelsea Bar and Brasserie to my friends and relatives

Food was a disappointment. Very expensive for what it was and just not quality fare. Very noisy in there as well with a very loud hen group singing at the top of their voices. I don't mind atmosphere but this was invasive.

We had a great time. Food was fantastic. It was a bit cold when we got there but they provided us with a heater and we soon warmed up. Only one small thing, it was our works Christmas party and I had told them and they said there would be crackers on the table. But there were none there. It didn't, however, spoil our time there. We will definitely all visit again

Excellent service, excellent food. Great atmosphere and very helpful staff. Help with allergies really appreciated. Just a bit too expensive for a family of 5.

We had a lovely meal with good service. Lost a point because there were two bottles of water on the table my friend had a small amount out of one and we were charged £3.95. However we did question it and they did remove the charge. It was quite quiet in there more people should go well worth the visit.

Very nice restaurant. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I went there for lunch with my sister on a day visit to Cheltenham. The meal was lovely and 3 courses for £12.95 very reasonable. I would recommend to friends.

Food was amazing however was seated near door with cold wind. Did say to staff and they tried to hold door shut but was nearly impossible. Was moved further in later which was nice, however then meal was finished. Staff was helpful but I guess the coldness made the experience a 4.

The staff were approachable and friendly. Mixed reaction from our group, some of us thought the food was tasty, others thought there wasn't enough meat and carbs. Lovely surroundings and made a pleasant afternoon for a family get together. Thanks.

Used a Groupon Voucher. Had a Sunday Lunch food was nice but not much of it, customers who didn't use a groupon voucher had a full plate. Surely this not supposed to be the case, we bought the vouchers to get a meal the same size. Just because we paid a few pounds less do we want a child size portion. There were 6 of us and we all felt the same. Then the had the audacity to add £10 to the bill for a tip! I don't think so!!!! Not worth the money, no more Groupon Vouchers will be bought forthe Chelsea Bar from any of our Party!!!

Very enjoyable lunch with friends. We had a two course meal which came out hot (I have had experience of almost cold food from some places). The cost was very reasonable and the staff were very pleasant. Would definitely go there again.

Lovely visit once again to this restaurant. Service was absolutely fantastic - so attentive and pleasant. The food didn't disappoint either - I had tiger prawns to start which were lovely (the only thing I'd say is it might be nice if they come with a piece of bread to mop up all the tasty juices!) and crispy duck for main - the portion size of this in particular was amazing! Perfectly cooked and just a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be going again soon!

The staff were very pleasent but not very attentive. The food was nice but there was hardly anything on the plate. We booked a "Sunday lunch with all the trimmings" and were really looking forward to a big roast lunch. I had 5 nuggets of steak for my "roast beef" and most of the plate was taken up by the gravy boat and the Yorkshire pudding. The others in our party had what can only be described as stir fried pork strips, no apple sauce. We did get apple sauce after we had finished our meal but it was out of a jar. We each had what equated to one small potato cut into 3 which really were sauté potato. The vegetables were really nicely cooked and it all tastes nice. I was told that they had a special offer to introduce the Sunday lunch menu so although the lunch was only £8.50 I would have much rather paid more and had a decent sized lunch with roast meats and lots of veggies. I had a pudding which was really nice and very welcome as I was starving after my lunch. My biggest deal breaker was the £4 per bottle which I was charged for the water that was already on the table before we arrived. Really bad practice as my children had opened it whilst I was sorting out one of the other guests. Salt and pepper was on the table and we weren't charged for that so don't put it on there unless it's complimentary!!! I wouldn't recommend it and I wouldn't go again.

We had a nice Sunday lunch using our Groupon vouchers, the food was of good quality and there was a good selection of vegetables. The portion was on the small side for the men in our group but what there was was tasty and hot. Service was a little slow but the reason why I do not give the Chelsea Bar and Grill a higher rating is that when we came to pay for our drinks there was a 20% 'optional' service charge - I question the 'optional' because the charge was added to the bill and we were about to be charged this 'optional' charge and I had to say that I did not want to pay it which was embarrassing. When I queried the tactic I was told that it is standard practice and a way of making up the staff's wages. I never tip by card, I always leave cash for the staff when there has been good service because I want to ensure that the cash goes to the staff. Slightly disappointing end to what was otherwise a pleasant lunch.

our first and last visit, asked what soup of the day was , but waitress did not know, had to visit kitchen to find out.told it was vegetable, in fact it was pumpkin, I hate pumpkin!! soup arrived with bread but no butter, butter came but no side plate!! my wifes main was risotto but she said it was very gooey. I had chicken BUT sauce was virtually pumpkin soup with a few spices, diasappointing. chef came to talk to us after main course, asked what soup was he confirmed pumpkin, when I told him I had been told it was vegetable he apologised. asked him what cheesecake of the day was he said he thought it was lemon BUT he would have to check, why does a chef NOT know his own menu??!! my wife ordered pavlova for dessert BUT they brought profiteroles?? sent back, shortly after a very hard pavlova arrived.thank goodness I had cheese and biscuits the best course of the day. bill arrived and was wrong they had charged us full price for 2 desserts instead of set menu 3 course price!! bill also had large optional gratuity added, asked for this to be removed I decide gratuity NOT the restaurant!! eveyrone was very pleasant but waitress training sadly lacking, did not know menu, placed soup spoon on my left?no side plate for bread roll provided.my wife had dessert spoon BUT no fork,it was badly needed pavlova was very hard. they only had 4 customers for lunch but service was painfully slow, arrived 12.20 but did not leave until 13.55. sorry but really diasappointed with this meal, this restaurant is not for us!!!

Lovely food, however a bit overpriced. We had a Groupon voucher but, because the menu was confusing, ended up spending far too much on top with deserts that we thought were priced at £2 extra as stated on menu but came on at full price. Also, service charge very high added to bill.

So me and three other family members went to dine at Chelsea bar and brasserie very nice place to eat decor wise, unfortunately my piticular meal was quite disappointing. I decided to try the sunday roast, the beef was very tough the few bits I had followed with potatoes that were average and hand full of veg o and a flattened Yorkshire. You can have all this for around £13 or you could pay less for better and more off at a toby carvery I know where I'll go in future for a Sunday lunch.

appearance was great and very clean. Service was great also. However the food was very salty, I would only go there for drink next time because of the amount of salt added to the food. Also the red wine jus was not a proper red wine jus-more like salty watery gravy with a hint of vinegar.
