Eight Bells Inn

The Eight Bells was originally built in the 14th century to house the stonemasons that built St. James' church and was later used to store the peel of eight bells that were hung in the church tower hence its name. 

The Inn was rebuilt using most of the original stone and timbers during the 17th century. What exists today is an outstanding example of a traditional Cotswolds Inn.

Only 50m off Chipping Camden’s bustling High Street (so free from town centre and road noise) we are just a short stroll from all places of interest within the Town.

Enjoy our local ales, fine wines and excellent food.

Our terraced garden overlooks the Alms Houses and St. James' Church and provides the perfect setting for eating and drinking during the warmer, drier weather.

Seventeen years of continued private ownership, and warm, friendly service, ensure your visit will be an enjoyable one.

We are proud to remain a Quintessential Inn!

Year after year we are recognised within the food and pub guides that really matter (you know the ones we mean) and are visited regularly by discerning locals and those who return to the Cotswolds time and time again.  

Our philosophy is simple - to cook relevant dishes using seasonal produce to the highest possible standard.

Reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment. You may eat in our Dining Room or Main bar (no dogs in the Dining Room and no children under 11 in the bar after 6 p.m., but welcome in the dining room).    

We are open daily from 12 noon until 11 pm (10.30 pm on Sundays)
