Eight Bells Inn, Chipping Campden

Been to Chipping Campden many times but always missed this gem of a pub..... The Good Beer Guide told me all about it. Classic Cotswold Building - originally C14th - honey stoned, low ceilings, complete with a sign on the door warning you. To the left a posh restaurant - to the right, a bar - less formal but setup for dining. Coal Fire. Outside Courtyard. Four real ales on - and the Old Hooky was in superb condition. I've been quite underwhelmed with the other pubs in town. This redresses the balance. Blog visit at http://bit.ly/2GkQgOl

Called into this 2018 Good Beer Guide pub while on a coach trip round Gloucestershire pubs. Although there was a decent selection of ales on the bar it is very much a food pub with tables having reserved notices on them, although they did put a time on so it was possible to sit at them. Much better than some today where tables were set up for food and drinkers could not use them. Our beer of choice here was the North Cotswold Cotswold Best which was fine.
