The Porch House, Cheltenham

This review is for the Eagle & Child pub, which is connected to the Royalist Hotel. Just in case there is another bar in the hotel. It claims to be the oldest inn in the country, and whilst that may be the case the interior has obvioulsy had some makeovers and doesn't quite have the olde worlde charm that you would perhaps expect. The conservatory area we dined in is definitely not that old! Food's pleasant enough, but they should perhaps concentrate a little more on substance over style. Stowford Press cider on tap.
