Cheltenham Art Gallery Museum Cafe

I've now visited three times, the food is lovely, the sweet corn fritters are delicious and the cakes yummy. BUT although most of the staff are pleasant there feels like there is a lack of management or perhaps planning, you're never quite sure how to order/where to stand/who is taking the orders etc. I really don't mind a relaxed less rushed approach, but I can imagine at busy periods it's frustrating for customers who have time restraints. This cafe should be packed, it's a lovely space, a good location and NOT a boring chain. Do go as everything is really tasty, but perhaps not when you're in a rush...

Had an enjoyable coffee and cake here. Friendly staff, clean and inviting. Good cake! Papers too, well worth popping in for a break. Noticd lunch menu looked good and will try it next time!

We popped in to check out the refurbished Gallery over the Christmas break, we decided to grab some lunch first in the cafe!It was about 2.30pm and about half of the tables had people seated at them, firstly we had to clear the cutlery off a table in order to sit down, the empty tables all had dirty plates and leftovers on them so we had to actually go up to the kitchen to clear the table!We sat down, couldn 't find a menu but after some looking on other tables we found a dirty, stained piece of paper with the menu printed on it. After a quick read we decided and one of my party went up to queue to order. There were about four people in the queue, the first had her order taken but then the girl behind the till went into the kitchen, we saw her then taking food to a table, then she disappeared back in the kitchen only to then come out and go upstairs with a cloth to clear tables?! During this time no one was taking orders so my friend was just in a completely stationary queue. There was a girl cleaning cutlery just behind the till but firmly kept her back to the rest of the room. Everyone in the queue was getting irate, the woman at the front said she had been stood there 10 minutes (when we arrived she was in the queue! . We decided to leave the shambles of a 'cafe ', god knows how long we would have wasted, by the looks of it the food was taking just as long as the queue to order!AVOID this place at all costs, please please go to any other cafe near by, this place needs to get sorted out as it 's a shambles.The gallery itself is OK but nothing special.

The restaurant offers delicious food and has a welcoming staff. They have a variety of options such as sandwiches and light snacks, as well as menu items that are perfect for younger children.

We had a delicious hot buffet lunch upstairs with a group. The food was very tasty! There was a great variety of sides and desserts to choose from.
