The Grill 49

The Grill 49 occupies the basement of a Regency townhouse on Rodney Road, a street of independent restaurants a short walk from the Promenade. The kitchen describes itself as rustic casual fine dining, built around Longhorn steaks, seafood and chicken. Reviewers on TripAdvisor rate it 4.5 out of 5 and it has reached the top hundred restaurants in Cheltenham — the ribeye and fillet receive consistent praise for accurate cooking, and the service is described as attentive throughout. The basement setting gives it an intimate, candlelit character that suits an evening out rather than a quick bite. Booking is advisable at weekends, particularly during the Cheltenham Festival when the town fills to capacity.
