Need restaurant suggestions for Chipping Camden!
We'll spend five nights in Chipping Camden and will be touring gardens during the daytime. We won't have a car in the evenings so we need restaurants in town unless cabs are readily available. Would love a mixture of restaurants and pubs.

There are several pubs and restaurants. in Chipping Campden - you can walk to lots of places. I haven't eaten in the town in about 4 years so really can't recommend a specific place - Last meal I had there was the Lygon Arms (not the more upscale hotel of the same name in Broadway) and it was fine. Not gourmet but certainly good. Hopefully flanner will see your post.
(probably no one responded before because the thread isn't tagged for the UK and it got buried in general Europe.)

My restaurant suggestions for Chipping Campden:
1. Suggestions for eating places from website strangers whose tastes and knowledge you can't possibly know anything about aren't worth the hot air expended in writing them.
2. In a Cotswold microtown walk up and down the main street, read the menus and judge for yourself. Apart from the Kingham Plough (and even it gets inane reviews on websites with silly girly whinges about "ugh. They've got snails on the menu", which tells you all you need to know about web recommendations), there's nowhere within 25 miles worth cabbing to, and there's enough places in Ch C to keep you adequately fed for five days.
No-one in recorded history has been known to have had an El Bulli-like gastronomic revelation in the Cotswolds, suffered from food poisoning or been exposed to significant ripoffs.

Early this morning, I almost wrote what flanneruk just wrote, at least the content if not the inimitable form. I actually refrained in hopes that he would respond. I was justified.
If you were there more than five nights, you might be in trouble. Be aware that if you drive elsewhere for a meal, the British take drinking and driving laws much more seriously than we do. Have a designated driver.

We liked Eight Belles which is a pub with a decent menu. If you don't mind driving over near Stow there is The Plough in Ford just outside of Stow. We have eaten there several times and never have been disappointed.
