Thai Shire
7 Horse FairNot all that much to look at but amazing food
Great for cake and coffee but does a mean breakfast too. They boast it's the best in the Cotswolds and although I haven't tried everywhere else I'm sure they're right. They do stay open for evenings too but we haven't tried this.

Whistlers
9 Middle RowA lovely restaurant, great food and gentle atmosphere.
Just go. It's OFF THE SCALE. Even if you just look at their website it's worth it. Eating can be reasonable if you're careful. The organic shop is pricey but fabulous. Fabulous spa, very expensive. Just a 10 minute drive away.

Good food and a 'younger' atmosphere. A great night out 'good children and dogs welcome'. Great place to get a cocktail and it has a terrace with a view over the market square.
