There’s a fresh sense of anticipation in the air at The Montpellier Cellar Restaurant. Executive Chef Tom Rains and his talented kitchen team are hard at work behind the scenes, developing exciting new menus that promise to bring even more creativity, flavour, and finesse to Cheltenham’s dining scene.

Known for his passion for seasonal produce and his flair for bold yet balanced flavours, Chef Tom Rains is crafting dishes that celebrate the very best of modern British cuisine — with an inventive twist that keeps every visit to The Montpellier Cellar feeling new. Each ingredient is carefully chosen, every sauce perfected, and every plate designed to complement the wines that have made The Montpellier Wine Bar and Cellar a much-loved destination for food and wine lovers alike.
