I love tapas because I'm awful at making up my mind what to choose in a restaurant. This is the…read moreperfect solution - lots of little dishes to share! I went in on a Saturday lunchtime and found the service very efficient without feeling rushed. It was surprisingly quiet, so we forgot about the world around and were able to concentrate on the delicious food. The dishes are in the range of about £3.50 - £5.50 each and they're usually split into 2-3 bits, so can be shared if necessary. I recommend getting bread as well - it's great for soaking up sauces and is nice, soft ciabatta style with tomato sauce to dip it in. Particularly recommended: - deep-fried chicken soaked in garlic - not at all greasy and very tasty - potato with layers of goats cheese, ham and tomato - prawns with scrambled egg and asparagus (much, much taster than it sounds!) The sangria comes with a good amount of fruit in it and at £3 a glass is cheap and plenty enough to last a meal (if you can resist another one, anyway!). All in all a really nice place if you're into tapas and a great introduction if you've never tried it.

My favourites are the selection of cheese, the garlic prawns and the little ham croquettes. Try a jug of sangria with it - it's very well done here and compliments the food greatly. This is a lovely place, decorated in a way inkeeping with the food and very private. The tables are well spaced, so you don't feel cramped or overheard. I like this place for dates or for a meal with a good mate. Always busy, so best to book it unless you've got time to have a drink at the bar first (which is no bad thing here). Go for a great, relaxed meal on one of Oxford's loveliest streets.

We had a fabulous series of visits to the Bistro! First night in Chipping Camden we had drinks with…read morea friend staying at the hotel - delicious gin and tonics and good wine. They have a nice wine list featuring European wines. The gin is plentiful, and they offer gin tastings. We enjoyed delicious gin and tonics on both nights, including those using Cotswolds Gin! On our second night we ate at the restaurant. We arrived early, around 5 pm, after a day of traveling around the Cotswolds. We had a drink and then said we'd love to come back in an hour to have dinner - they said that was no problem (and this is a bank holiday)! We wandered off to a pub down the street (Eight Bells), which was suggested by the waitstaff. We had a great time having a glass of wine there, where we mixed with locals and visitors from near and far. We returned to the Bistro, which was pretty much full - except one table! They had held our table back, with three settings for dinner. We shared excellent food (and more g&ts!) including classic egg pasta with shaved truffle (yum!), the avocado and egg salad, and a side of lovely, buttered green beans. Overall, the meal has been the highlight meal of my trip to the England. The staff was fun, hardworking, and really made us feel welcome, even if the majority of the guests were "stiff upper lips" in regards to us having a fun time. If I return to Chipping Campden, I'm staying at this hotel and dining here for sure! A lovely experience!

My wife had the chicken which was good. My daughters had the orzo dish. It was also good. But for higher prices, I wanted the food to be a step above the others. I do think if you were a gin lover, this might be the place for you. They had many different types of gin and associated cocktails. We are not gin drinkers so that was not a highlight for us. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the dining room, dishes, plating was excellent.

We had Spanish omelette, ratatouille, prawn dynamite, white wine prawns, chicken croquettes, Patata bravas, stacked glazed eggplant, haloumi fries (complimentary). Everything was good! You might think of tapas as tiny little assortments on a plate, but here you get proper portions. I left very full. Not too far off from how it's done in Spain. Hot toddy didn't have much whiskey in it, would not get again. The only thing I didn't like is when bar staff in an empty bar take your order from 100 yards behind the counter, forcing me to shout my order out - just walk over to where I sit Ok!

The location is fantastic, and the staff - especially the owner - are all incredibly friendly and courteous. It just sucks the food isn't any good. I had a turkey, bacon and cranberry sandwich with the day's soup - parsnip and cauliflower - and while the soup was decent, the rest was like eating pictures of ingredients instead of actual food. I couldn't imagine a meal invoking less of a response in the flavor department. Worse, my better half's attempt at an order of tapas practically met with disaster. Her plates of chorizo, mozzarella in pesto and calamari were nigh-inedible. Those around us seemed to be enjoying the carvery (that's British code for "buffet"), but I also saw most of these same people dumping illegal amounts of NaCl on top of mountains of meat, potato and gravy, so it may also not have been a barometer for success.

I would recommend this to anyone wanting to try something other than the usual Fish & Chips!

Now if the idea of getting out to Kings Heath (and people that live there love to be smug about this place being around the corner) for some tapas seems to be a bit much of an effort I understand but the food here is well worth the journey and that's all I'll say on the matter. The staff match the food, friendly, welcoming and leave you happy at the end of the meal. Price wise each dish comes in at around £5-8 so a selection of 5-6 for two is pretty reasonable, especially considering the quality.
