I live near Cirencester and the park is within easy walking of the town. Lots of pubs there, Harry Hare's does very good food, a bit more upmarket than pub grub. Otherwise there's a very good Italian which is very reasonable and very friendly.

A few miles the other way outside Ciren is a village called Sapperton which has a gastro-pub called 'The Bell' ... can make other recomendations, what sort of food are you thinking of? As it's a one night stay, I would have thought that walking into town is your best option?

Thames head is very good for food and reasonable about a 5 min drive from the campsite along the Tetbury road on the right hand side shortly having gone under the railway bridge....  For a really atmospheric pub try the Tunnel house ask for directions from the campsite it buried down country lanes a short drive from Coates.

Walking down to cirencester is not a problem because there is a dedicated walkway/cyclepath for the school kids and college which is next door to the campsite.. ? is it also possible to walk through the Cirencester Park via the campsite.

Glos is not cheap.. but with those paremetres I would suggest the italian in town,  or black horse in castle street I think is reasonable....

Thames head is rated as a reasonable eating place too.

Thames head easy car park right by pub no problem ... tunnel house ditto although ground not tarmaced but it is level.  Cirencester Town centre... cannot park directly outside but plenty of parking in the car parks in the evening but you would have a short walk... In the day it is busy and packed.

Hope that helps

just in case any one is interested, the walk through the park directly from the camp site has now been closed, you have to walk down the road and go in through the windsor gate, which unless you specifically wanted to walk through the park is a longer walk to town, longer than if you go via the road. The short cut from the CC site is permantently closed, not just for a period of time. We stayed on the park last month May 2008
