RIAT09 Food Thread - espacially for "aliens"

Post by **Eizo** » Sat 25 Apr 2009, 3:39 pm

Hi,

with staying near Kempsford, what opportunities do I have when I want something to eat? Breakfast I have at my hotel, but everything else I have to find myself. (For example lots of mineral water for 6 days :grin:

) Beeing without a car I have to admit! :loser:

(Did not want to pay the overweight for my Ferrari! :tongue:

) Something hot to eat in the evening would be nice too. Any shops / restaurants ... around? (And not too expensive would be great!)

Thxs for all advices
Chris

If you're near Kempsford, you could try the "George" - a pub in the village. If you fancy a bit of a walk into Fairford then The Bridge, The Bull, Allium or the Railway Inn all do food in the evening.

Thxs, will check those! Maybe George will be overrun on RIAT?

Is there any Tesco or comparable near to Kempsford?

Nearest Tesco is in Cirencester I'm afraid... Fairford has a Londis and a Co-Op..

And they sold me a packet of out-of-date Mini Cheddars last year. Avoid :grin:

There is an Asda, Maccy D and Pizza Hut just inside Swindon, the other side of Blunsdon; the site also has a fuel station.

At Blunsdon, next to the Premier Inn there is also a gastropub called the Cold Harbor.
EDIT: Never saw the bit about not having a car lol! Sorry! :oops:

Maybe I will have to take a cab/bus for shopping. Would be funny... :handbag:

I am staying at Kempsford Camping for 8 nights.
I will be going to shop in Cirencester at Tesco on Tuesday; if you want to come I will take you there.
Please tell me where you are staying and contact details e.g. Mobile number ChrisR.
Please send me a PM or Email
Thank you
:smile:

looking at the Fairford overhead picture (Google earth presumably) - what's the name of the old airfield just to the south west?
