If you’d like to go to the races, (but can’t get to the races!), come and enjoy all the action in the comfort of the Howard Arms accompanied by a three course lunch at your own exclusive table.
We can only accommodate one party on each of the Festival days (Tuesday 13th – Friday 16th March), so sprint to the phone and call us on 01608 682226 to secure your private box.
Parade ring breakfast
If you’re heading to the races, a good breakfast will set you up for a long day! We’re serving a special Cheltenham breakfast from 7.30am to 9.30am on each of the Festival days. Choose from:
Full English or smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Coffee and tea included, and choose from a glass of Prosecco, Guinness, or Bloody Mary! Racing Post available for early research. £10 per person.
Call us on 01608 682226 to book.
The last furlong
Whether you’re celebrating, commiserating, or just enjoying the craic, try one of our Cheltenham special cocktails, served all week:
Black Russian (Guinness and Prosecco
Jumpin’ Jack (it involves Jack Daniels, but wait and see!)
Like it or not, once Bonfire Night is behind us, and John Lewis releases its Christmas ad, the festivities are just around the corner….
If you’re still in denial, ignore this post and come back to it when December dawns. But for those who like to plan ahead, here’s a breakdown of what’s going on over the season.

The Bank Holiday weekend is approaching, and we’re looking forward to it!
On Sunday 27th August Matt Bates will be providing live music from 3.30 – 5.30pm – in the garden if the weather allows. And on Monday 28th, it’s the annual Ilmington Show, always a big event in the village.
It starts at 1pm, so there’s plenty of time for lunch or a drink or two at the pub before heading down to the playing fields on the Mickleton Road.
A full afternoon of entertainment includes dog agility display, duck herding, classic car parade, puppet show, bouncy castle, face-painting and lots more, including of course displays of flowers, fruit and veg in the show marquee. Our very own Romy has been given the responsibility (and enviable job!) of judging the drinks category at the show. There are exciting rumours that there will be a flypast by an aircraft from the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
Don’t leave your dogs at home. This year you can enter your woof into one or more of six categories in the dog show – The Lovely Ladies (Bitches), The Handsome Hounds (Dogs), Young Handler, Best Groomed Pair (owner and dog), Cutest Cross Breed and Waggiest Tail. It’s £1 per entry, and there are loads of great prizes.
Refreshments include a pig roast, barbecue, ice cream stall, tea, coffee and cake, and we are running the Pimms and Prosecco Bar. The pub’s open all day, and we’re serving food from midday until 7.45pm.
Entrance prices for the Show: Adults, £3; Children, £2; children under five get in free, and there’s no car park charge.
We look forward to seeing you there!
