The Grape Escape is a friendly pub in Charlton Kings, a village situated just southeast of Cheltenham.
It's a practical stop whether you're heading into the area or moving on elsewhere, and works well as a place to break your journey and refuel with a drink. If you've been wandering Cheltenham's Regency streets or are planning to venture further into the Cotswolds hills, this is where you can slow down and soak up some proper village atmosphere. The pub has that genuine local feel—the kind of place where regulars settle in comfortably and visitors are made equally welcome. Charlton Kings sits on the edge of the wider Cotswolds region, which means you're well positioned between Cheltenham's town facilities and the quieter countryside stretching outward. It's exactly the sort of unpretentious spot that makes village pubs worth the visit, a place to decompress and catch your breath surrounded by straightforward, genuine hospitality.
