Chipping Norton

[PapaLazaru]

Staying near there this weekend and apart from laying out David Cameron if I see them, can anyone recommend a good family friendly pub for two families with kids? From what I can see, the pubs are either too upmarket for kids, or look like I might get beaten up by a local farmer.

TIA

Don't overthink it, it's just a pub lunch. Also, character building for your children when daddy gets sparked clean out.

Also Jeremy Clarkson. You could actually visit his farm shop.

There are some small pubs up there but remember to watch your kids, you dont want to be leaving them there by mistake when you drive off. Only and idiot would do that.

Better off going to Bourton on the Water and having a chippy T.

Bourton is lovely but being a bank holiday weekend it will be absolutely rammed with tourists. I love it there, but as a mid-week retreat.

Just bite the bullet and goto Hook Norton Brewery, restaurant there as well

Very true.

Add him to the list of potential punching people.

Like this idea, one for Friday evening mrthinks.

Now this is an excellent idea. 3 miles walk so very doable and avoids actual Chipping Norton! Going to put this out to the group, cheers.

*edit* Lunch booked @ brewery for Sunday

Sounds good, what time? Happy to share a car with any of the above posters if it helps on parking.

Threat of violence with a small dose of family recommendations? Sounds the perfect thread for GD lol.

Not a bad walk and a good spot for lunch and a couple of pints so cheers! Went to the Pear Tree Inn on the walk home for one as well.

Unfortunately did not see DC when I went for lunch in Chipping Norton, though the lunch we had at The Fox was also very good. Great Co-Op as well.

That was in jest We were planning on going to his farm shop but ran out of time. The Mum of the family we went with wanted a shopping (tote?) bag from there for some reason.

Is chipping Norton the follow up to bend it like Beckham but with Graham Norton making a cameo appearance?
