A pub crawl along Bath Road, Cheltenham: Part Two.

123-129 Bath Road Moran's Eating House

Although this establishment is not strictly a pub, it has a good reputation, and has been part of the community for many years. It is also another place I have never been to!

157 Bath Road Bath Road Beers

This establishment is the new kid on the block, and has only been around for a few years. It is a bottle shop which is well stocked, and proving to be quite popular amongst the townsfolk and casual visitors from elsewhere.

167 Bath Road The Exmouth Arms

I remember visiting the Exmouth many years ago, it was a fairly basic down to earth pub, which was in need of some TLC. My next visit was in 2011, the pub had been completely renovated and had a fresh modern look. The Exmouth has an advantage over many of the pubs in the area, it has a large beer garden. It is an Arkell's pub, so plenty of 3B to go around!

232 Bath Road The Five Alls

For many years, the Five Alls was a fairly down to earth pub. Although I have photographed it quite a few times, my partner and I visited it for the first time last year. Ironicly 2019 was the year that the Five Alls was completely transformed into an entirely different environment. It is an impressive refurbishment, but they might have gone a little too up market for some of the clientele including me!

2017 - Not the greatest choice of colours!

2019 - A brilliant refurbishment.

A new door was created to the side of the pub, 

and the sign was replaced.

242 Bath Road The Brown Jug

When I first visited The Brown Jug in 2011, it was one of the most down to earth and friendly pubs along the Bath Road. In 2016, the pub was refurbished into a more food orientated environment, and renamed The Sup & Chow. We did have a meal there when it was The Sup and Chow, but to be honest I preferred the pub before it was refurbished. The pub reverted back to the name of The Brown Jug in 2019, a revisit is required – hopefully in the not too distant future.

1 Leckhampton Road The Norwood Arms

Although the Norwood has a different address, it is a pub that sits at the top of Bath Road. It is a Greene King pub, so it is probably a good place to eat. I say probably, because It is many years since I have been there.

And that concludes the pub crawl along Bath Road. I hope to include some more crawls in the near future.
