The Bayshill, Cheltenham

The Bayshill doesn’t look very inviting from the outside despite attempts to brighten it up with flower troughs and hanging baskets, as it’s a non-descript square white box on the corner of St Georges Place and the footpath that runs along the River Chelt from the West. But inside it’s a smart two roomed space as well described by John below, with a comfortable small public bar section and then a larger lounge section that definitely looks like it is an extension. And there is indeed an outside patio area but it is enclosed and the brick walls do not afford views. A Wadsworth house with five hand pumps on the bar and the beers on for our early lunchtime visit were Bishops Tipple, 6X, Henrys IPA, Horizon and the seasonal Red White and Brew which should be the June to August beer. The couple we tried were in good nick and enthusiastically served by the young (well young compared to me) Landlady. There is also a reasonable looking standard pub food menu but we did not eat here so cannot pass comment on that.
