Wow!!!!! Amazing food, great portions and very friendly environment. This place puts prezzo and pizza express to shame, you can tell it’s a family run business. Can’t wait to come again, I could eat this everyday! Only down fall is the seating inside as there’s only one table but the food is worth it and hopefully there will be more seating in the future

Love this place, it’s such a hidden gem. As someone who absolutely loves Italy it was so nice to find this place just round the corner from where I live. I got the ragu arranchini and beef pasta, the pasta especially was reeeeallyy good. And all made to order as well. Such a lovely family business.

Oh my god!!!! The food from this place is spectacular!!!!! We ordered take away and there was not a single thing we did not like. The pasta was cooked al dente. It still had some bite. The cheese cream sauce was very rich and tasty. Love the chicken Parma. The chicken and pesto arancini was great. Loved the strong pesto flavour. The best thing by far was the porchetta ciabatta. As soon as I had a bite I was transported back to Italy. Absolutely delicious. I just wish I was staying in Cheltenham 1 more day to order from them again.

Freshly fried spinach and cheese arancini was crispy, rich and absolutely delicious! Definitely will be back to try other items on the menu. They accept both cash or card, and service is super friendly. Really great place!

Not local but popped in while in the area, did not disappoint! The Porchetta was delicious and something I have not experienced before. Owner is super friendly, you can tell it’s a family run business and they take pride in their craft. Always good to support small businesses. Would certainly recommend to anyone who wants great quality food. Will be returning!

5 Stars Porketta in Cheltenham is an absolute hidden gem and a total must-visit for food lovers. I went in with high hopes and left completely blown away. The quality of the food is outstanding, everything is clearly made with care, passion, and proper ingredients. The pork is, as you’d expect, the star of the show: perfectly seasoned, melt-in-your-mouth tender, with that dream-level crispy crackling. It’s rich, satisfying, and full of deep, comforting flavour. Whether you go for their signature sandwich, loaded roast boxes, or one of their specials, you’ll be in for a proper treat. The chef is warm, welcoming, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food he serves, which makes the whole experience even better. It’s casual but cool, with a laid-back vibe that lets the food do all the talking. Portions are generous, the prices are more than fair for the quality, and the whole experience just hits the spot. Honestly, if you’re in Cheltenham and love good food, go to Porketta. It’s the kind of place you think about days later and can’t wait to return to. Five stars, no hesitation.

We came back for our last meal in the UK here and ordered a porchetta ciabatta, chicken parma, and nutella panzerotti. The food is delicious, prepared with pride and care from traditional Italian family recipes. In Asia, there is a roast pork dish with a similar finish as the porchetta. But one special herb used here sets it apart. The chicken parma was crunchy outside and moist inside, as it should be. For dessert, panzerotti was handmade and decadent. Everything is fresh. I recommend eating here on the spot and not taking away or ordering on the app, the delay might destroy the goodness and won't do it justice. I hope the lovely owners succeed and expand their eatery to have more sitting space inside and outside.
