| The Royal George | Birdlip GL4 8JH | Just on the top of the hill, a chain but a nice one. Most common OC pub lunch destination. |
| The Royal William | Cheltenham Road, Cranham, Stroud GL6 6TT | Hot rock pub, burgers are nice too. JAN 2024 UPDATE: Closed?? :( |
| The Green Dragon | Cockleford, Nr Cowley, Cheltenham GL53 9NW | Further out, but been on a couple of OC pub lunches. Nice fireplace. |
| Foston's Ash Inn | The Camp, Stroud GL6 7ES | The mysterious other OC pub destination. Nice but haven't been since COVID? |
| The Turmut-Hoer | Mead Rd, Abbeymead, Gloucester GL4 5GL | Chain (Sizzlers), but cheap burgers and convienient location. Contender for JackPub™? |
| The Golden Heart | Birdlip, Gloucester GL4 8LA | About as close as the Royal George, v.good food and a fire(!!) but a bit small. |

| The Cheese Rollers | Shurdington Rd, Shurdington, Cheltenham GL51 4TN | Acted surprised and insisted we "should have called ahead" for wanting lunch at 12:00pm on a Friday when it was otherwise empty. Food was awful. UPDATE: Apparently under new management, send interns to investigate. |
| Twelve Bells | Twelve Bells Beefeater, Ermin Way, Gloucester GL3 4SS | Beefeater you can see on the way to The Royal George. Just dissapointing, too far away for an unofficial pub lunch, and there are much better options for a sanctioned lunch. |

| Coal | Merchants Rd, Gloucester GL2 5RG | £3.50 for corn on the cob. |
| Reeces | 8 Llanthony Rd, The Docks, Gloucester GL2 5QX | Food was good? But just odd, it was empty and we got given stale bread to start. "Failed the vibe check". Not bad for a celebration of success. Also some diners got food poisoning, avoid the seafood. |

| Fat Master's (formerly Fat Toni's) | 4 Regent St, Cheltenham GL50 1HE | big BIG pizza The dining area is small but there's never anyone in? Never had trouble just turning up and getting a table. |
| The Coconut Tree | 59 St Paul's Rd, Cheltenham GL50 4JA | Sri Lankan tapas - order two or three different bowls and you get a surprisingly large amount. Half price Monday-Wednesday maybe? Insanely cheap if they still do it. |
| Curry Corner | 133 Fairview Rd, Cheltenham GL52 2EX | A little bit further out, but really good curry that's been on the telly and the Michelin Guide. No alcohol. |
| Muse Brasserie | 60 St George's Pl, Cheltenham GL50 3PN | Indian/French fusion, very posh the chefs come out and meet you. Good for a celebration of success. |
