I loved the d\u00e9cor representing the fire; with the incorporation of orange, candles on the and the open grill &#8211; which was a great touch as you could see exactly how the food was prepared and the chefs were able to answer any questions. I really enjoyed myself and will definitely be returning back there. All the main dinner dishes are grilled over English charcoal and served with house salad &amp; fries and I think for premium dinning (which tasted amazing!) very well priced. I think I could convince a few people to come and try the Bottomless Brunch which is two courses for \u00a330 or three for \u00a335 with unlimited Bellinis or Prosecco (on Saturdays between 11am-5pm for 2 hour time slots).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/The-Fire-Station-Cheltenham-mussels.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21929\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/The-Fire-Station-Cheltenham-mussels.jpg?resize=800%2C600\" alt=\"Grilled Mussels at The Fire Station Cheltenham\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/The-Fire-Station-Cheltenham-mussels.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/The-Fire-Station-Cheltenham-mussels.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/The-Fire-Station-Cheltenham-mussels.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thefirestationcheltenham.co.uk\/\">http:\/\/thefirestationcheltenham.co.uk\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Fire Station, St James Square, Cheltenham, GL50 3PR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TFScheltenham\">@<span class=\"u-linkComplex-target\">TFScheltenham<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>I was invited to the launch of The Fire Station Cheltenham, no financial compensation has been given.
