The Daffodil was a 1920’s art deco cinema, and there are still mementoes from these origins on display.  With warm golden yellow as the primary colour, and a sweeping staircases that leads up to the balcony, this is one of the most attractive restaurants in Cheltenham.

The food is locally sourced, and there is a good value set lunch menu.
