Memsahib's Lounge

Rather than the traditional pub fare you'd encounter elsewhere in the Cotswolds, this is a contemporary Indian gastropub and lounge bar that treats Indian cooking with real care—traditional spices combined with modern techniques to create something that feels both familiar and inventive. The drinks list shows the same thoughtfulness, with creative cocktails, premium gins, and a curated selection of spirits, wines, and beers.

Charlton Kings itself has genuine history as a village and has evolved into a desirable neighbourhood on Cheltenham's edge while retaining its community feel. There are some pleasant walking routes through the area if you want a stroll to work up an appetite or digest afterwards. It's an ideal spot if you're based in Cheltenham for a few days—you can explore the Regency architecture, hunt through independent shops, and visit the various cultural venues the town offers. Since Memsahib's Lounge is just a short distance from Cheltenham's centre, it works equally well whether you're planning a full evening out or simply want to sink into comfortable, elegant surroundings with a properly made cocktail at the end of the day.
