Block Booking
Block booking (10+ sessions) gives you the freedom to play when you want. If the times you want to play fall outside our opening hours, no problem - we'll give you a key to the courts. It also means you get a 10% discount on the price, so you pay £4.50 per hour instead of £5.00 (you will receive an invoice for £45 for the first ten sessions when you have returned the contract) You can make your block booking at any of the sites during opening hours. Alternatively you can email tennis@cheltenhamcafeco.com<.

About Us
We've taken over the running of Montpellier Gardens Café, Central Cross Drive Café and Pittville Boathouse, along with looking after the tennis courts, golf and boating in Pittville Park and the tennis courts in Montpellier Gardens.
We're a local company, set up by local people and our aim is to provide you - the people who use the park - with some quality refreshments at reasonable prices, and easy-to-use leisure facilities - to make the most of your parks and what they have to offer.
We'd like to do all this whilst being environmentally and ethically responsible, too. Which is why all our takeaway packaging is 100% biodegradable and composts in less than 3 months; why we use fairly traded, ethically sourced products and support local suppliers and why we've gone to town on recycling schemes (which you can help us with).
