CHELTENHAM RACE WEEK DINNER
When Cheltenham transforms into the epicentre of jump racing, with the Gold Cup week drawing visitors from all corners, the energy in the town is electric!
Yet, amidst this whirlwind of excitement, there lies a hidden gem on Bath Road, promising a unique dining experience that balances vibrancy with tranquillity – Cantina del Barrio.
A Quieter Meal Out, Without Missing the Fun
Cantina del Barrio offers a rare find during the Cheltenham Races: a spot where the rowdy crowds seem a world away, yet the spirit of the event is very much alive.
Providing a "quieter" meal out doesn't mean dull or lifeless. On the contrary, our restaurant is bursting with energy and fun, set against a backdrop of Mexican décor and filled with the aromas of delicious dishes that promise an immediate escape to the heart of Mexico.
Why Cantina del Barrio Stands Out
Location, Location, Location: Situated on Bath Road, we're just far enough from the centre to offer a respite from the crowds but close enough so you won't miss out on the Gold Cup's electric atmosphere.
Vibrant Atmosphere: Our restaurant is designed to be both welcoming and exciting. With colourful interiors and lively music, we keep the festival spirit going, offering a slice of Mexican festivity in Cheltenham.
Mexican Cuisine: From tantalising tacos to crunchy empanadas, our menu is a carefully curated selection of Latin american & Mexican dishes, each prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a modern twist.
The Cantina Experience During Gold Cup Week
Gold Cup week at Cantina del Barrio is not just about escaping the crowds; it's about embracing the best of both worlds. Here, you can enjoy the thrill of the races and then retreat to our restaurant for a meal that calms and delights. Our team are dedicated to providing impeccable service, ensuring that your meal out is as smooth and enjoyable as the margaritas we serve.
Booking Your Spot
With the buzz of the Gold Cup, securing a table at Cantina del Barrio is highly recommended. Reservations are open, and we welcome race-goers and locals alike to experience the best of Mexican hospitality during one of Cheltenham's most exhilarating weeks.
