Great places to eat

Chipping Campden is home to so many different eateries, there is something for everyone!
The rooftop terrace is perfect on a summers evening - highly recommend. You can literally spend a day quite happily at Huxleys from breakfast, morning coffee, pastries and cakes to some great light lunches and more substantial evening meals. It is licensed and has a rooftop terrace as well as side outside terrace - perfect for that Prosecco on a summers evening. Also known to have live music throughout the weekend evenings in the summer months - a very cool place to hang out. Huxleys are dog friendly too.

Broadway Tower is a fantastic place to visit as well as eat. From the tower you are able to see 18 counties on a clear day! And you can also visit the War Bunker on certain days. They have a great cafe and have also just opened the Barn. You can hire electric bicycles from here too. So go and look them up...just a short drive from the Shepherd's Hut!

The famous gardens at Hidcote are well worth a visit from Spring through to Autumn. Beautifully designed, they have a great cafe there too and you have to pick up one of the old fashioned tennnis rackets and have a game on the old court!
