THE OX
If meat is your thing then you better start making a visit to The Ox your thing as steak is at the heart of everything they do, although it isn't all they do as duck, pork and fish all appear on the menu. Their Sunday roast (something we have yet to try) is meant to be one of the best around! theoxcheltenham.com
