Bantam Tea Rooms & Accomodations in Cotswold

The service was terrible…. a bunch of young girls who appeared to want to be elsewhere. We ordered tea and scones. We drank the tea and still no scones. When we asked about them we were rudely told “it’s coming” and she made no effort to check on them. They came 5 minutes later. We could see other people being treated as an inconvenience and being unhappy. Disappointing in a lovely village where everyone else is so friendly.

My wife and I were welcomed by a member of staff and shown to a table who then proceeded to clear a table where six people had been eating breakfast. My wife had to go to the kitchen to ask for us to be served. The lady apologised and took our order for coffee, tea, a toasted tea cake and a fruit scone. We were served by a young member of staff who needs to be trained in pleasantries. A cheery “good morning” would help. However, our visit was ruined when we discovered that we were charged £1.50 extra per person for jam which had obviously been taken from a catering tin and therefore the quality was no more than average. Due to the fact that Chipping Campden is a town where many people will only visit the once this establishment seems happy to take advantage. I find this, as a person living in Gloucestershire - disappointing.

Un très joli petit endroit dans une ancienne bâtisse dans la rue principale. Chambre propre, bien décorée. Nous étions sous les toits en chambre 4 et il a fait très chaud malgré les velux ouverts. Le salon de thé ferme à 17 h . Après l’accès se fait dans la rue derrière du parking. Bon petit déjeuner

The room was very comfortable, the staff very courteous , the breakfast superb. It was a great start to Cotswold Walk hike my grandson and I undertook!😀

Had a great afternoon snack here. Abi was an excellent waitress, nothing was too much trouble for her, very friendly. The panini was great and the Ploughman’s was lovely.

Sehr stylisch, nette Karte. Personal könnte freundlicher sein, da geht noch was. Cream tea für 8,50 £ im oberen Preissegment.

We visited on two occasions, a Sunday and Monday morning. Found the place to be bustling and the decor/history is great. A lady welcomed us and soon had us seated, she was an absolute delight, however the rest of the staff all much younger just seemed to mope about with no enthusiasm! One girl took our order without writing anything down, the order arrived and was wrong! Wrong on so many parts, wrong drinks, bits missing off the breakfast items, such as no smoked salmon, no sausage in the sandwich etc. Asked for a decaf coffee and were told they had run out! Asked what herbal teas they had and we had a menu literally chucked on the table! WOW! What a shame! Great location, amazing space but let down by the lackluster staff.

Great service & food my only complaint is the cost of the Jam £1.50 & £1.75 for cream this is so expensive and for a tiny amount. I go to Burford garden center which is classed as an expensive place to eat and cream is only 75p & scone & Jam £3.50. I think sadly this tearoom is not being fair to it's customer especially local customer.

Excellent little gem in the gorgeous village of Chipping Camden. We recently visited the area and came across this tea room. The staff were very friendly and amiable, instantly sorting us a table despite there being a large number of us. Service was also very quick! The best hot chocolate we have had and gorgeous cakes! Certainly worth a stop!

Myself and my dear wife visit this tearoom every time we visit the Cotswolds. We were welcomed warmly by a young lady, who then proceeded to take our order and was able to assist us with our choices and any questions we asked. My wife had a sandwich with a salad garnish, which my wife claimed was lovely. I had myself an afternoon tea which to, was splendid! Unfortunately thou love for this tearoom was shortly ruined - as we left, we encountered a member of staff, pacing the path, shouting and swearing on the mobile phone. We could not comprehend why such manager would allow such behaviour - as business owners ourselves, we know to protect and promote the business name. It did not start there. We witnessed the same young lady using rather foul language while surrounded by the few other visitors of the tearooms. Hygiene is poor - toilets unclean, dust and cobwebs in many places, just enough to put you off the food. Staff scratching at their head and continuing to serve customers is NOT hygienic. Manager of this business! Please take a step back and look at what’s going on around you. No hygiene, no manners - it puts a bad name on the Bantam Tearooms, staff are uninterested, apathetic! It is such a shame and makes me ponder upon disbelief. - Jerry

Ambience , service presentation and quality of food was amazing. Interior and seating stylish. Ordered tea platter with scone and clotted cream at the side, variety of sandwiches

Nothing exceptional. Limited cake selection at the end of the day. Limited options for tea. Staff were pleasant though a bit slapdash. Nothing special

Had a one night stay here in a single room, small, but perfectly adequate with a comfy bed. The breakfast was of a good quality, including a great bowl of porridge. Highly recommend for an overnight stay. The cakes looked good, but didn't try any.b

Very disappointed, waited quite a while, then had to ask someone to take our order, we ordered drinks, cream teas and scones, drinks came after about 25 minutes,but no scones came. Where our table was you could see one of the waitresses eating, picking scones up with her hands, no tongs, and putting them on plates, for people to consume, not great to see, in the end we had drank our drinks, and had been in the tea rooms for 50 minutes, and really was put off from eating anything, from what we had seen. Better organization needed, cream teas scones and drinks should of come out together, and more health hygiene training for staff. Certainly will not return.

Their hot chocolate and coffee were very good. I loved dunking their shortbread into my hot chocolate... very delicious! But, my husband's chocolate brownie bar was hard and dry (almost stale). Quaint, old building and charming ambience. The older staff were very nice and friendly, but the younger staff didn't smile or seem very friendly.

We stopped here for breakfast for a birthday treat. The food and drinks were very good, the staff were pleasant. There was a rather noisy family sitting near us who didn’t seem to appreciate other customers wanting a relaxing time in the cafe but as soon as they left it was fine. A nice place to stop and eat when in the area.

This is a nice place for lunch. The BLT was really good. The restaurant is very cozy and authentic, and it is nice to sit in the "conservatory" on a rainy day enjoying a cup of tea. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Gorgeous inside, breakfast was delicious and atmosphere was nice, perfect start to the day before a hike. Staff were friendly and attentive.

I’ve been to BTR twice in the last few weeks (and the first time for a year). I’ve always found the food to be excellent, and it was on these recent occasions. On the first occasion one of the young waitresses at times felt disinterested, which was disappointing. Otherwise I found the service to be more than acceptable. Notwithstanding the minor criticism from my experience BTR is one of the finest tea rooms in England (I’d add Berry’s in Church Stretton to that list).

Estuvimos alojados en este sitio durante una noche. La habitación no era muy amplia, pero todo estaba aceptable, teniendo en cuenta que el edificio es del siglo XVIII, aunque está muy remozado. El desayuno también estuvo bien. Servicio correcto.

Not bad for tea. Sandwiches ok. Sweet treats ok, nice garden. My sandwich was missing the cucumber that was mentioned on the menu. Sweet treats were better elsewhere. Service nice and friendly and lovely garden. However 8 yellow jacket bees attacked the food at our table in the garden. We finally sacrificed one of the pots of jelly and to them they focused on that and didn’t bother us too much after that.

Wir waren für 2 Nächte im Bantam und waren begeistert vom unserem Aufenthalt. Das Zimmer war nicht riesig aber sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Frühstück was vor Öffnung im Café serviert wurde war sehr gut. Der Service war zuvorkommend und sehr freundlich

Had tea and scones for two. Nice touch to get a jug of hot water with our teapot. I had the cheese scone and it was honestly one of the best cheese scones ever! The jam for the fruit scone didn’t seem to be the finest quality but otherwise we were really pleased with the food and the service and would definitely recommend.

We were in need of a cream tea before heading home and this was the perfect place! Lovely home made warmed scone - just as it should be (take it from me, I'm a baker!). My husband had the coffee cake and that was perfect too. Pop into this place, you wont be disappointed!

We were expecting a warm welcome and a lovely tea room experience , however, we were very disappointed not only with the customer service but also the quality of the food . The waitresses seemed very distracted and the presentation of the staff rather unkempt...

Was very disappointed, £3 for a can of coke served with a warm glass, no ice, no slice of lemon. Everything arrived separately coke 1st, then tea cake, next cheese scone finally latte. Not the best service. Venue itself was lovely and clean in an...

I LOVED this place. The room overlooked the historic Market Hall, and was charmingly decorated. It has a lovely stone courtyard. The staff is friendly and inviting, the cream tea was worthy of a proper tea room, and the breakfast was excellent. The room was...

We booked two rooms for a stay during the festival. We had stayed before so a return seemed fine. However breakfast was chaotic, items ordered came late or not at all. We paid way over the website prices for each room, for example £170 for...

Delightful lunch attentive staff, love the historical review on the menu cover, your site was beautiful Thankyou it was just lovely x

Love this historic tea room. Wait staff was great, but the scones were awesome. I had Afternoon cream tea with clotted cream and jam. YUM. Large scones. Be sure to read the history of this place in the menu.

Stunning atmosphere, lovely airy rooms and enclosed courtyard, a tasty selection of many delicious cakes, including gluten free ones but there is also an excellent range of snacks and meals as well. The service was superb, the staff warm and friendly and all the food...

We loved this place dined for lunch and dinner and got a lunch to go and stayed in one of the rooms in back during our 50 mile walk through the Cotswolds. The hospitality was warm and inviting, the food was wonderful and the room...

We were a family of 6 people. We all enjoyed our food but the service was very slow. After 90 minutes we had had just a light main course and were waiting to place an order for cakes and hot drinks. No one came so...

Was looking forward to a really nice afternoon cream tea and the tea room looked really inviting. However the service was not very warm and they really skimped on the jam as there was not enough for one scone. They also put too much water...

A beautiful period property. Interior to die for if you love the rawness of period Cotswold stone and timber beams Excellent and friendly staff. I had a afternoon tea for one and I highly recommend it.

We had the wonderful opportunity to walk the Cotswolds for 9 days or so...covered about 50 miles...perfect weather and new boots worked well...Bantam Tea Room was one of our overnight stops. Service was wonderful and food was outstanding...loved the accommodations...ambiance was very special...

Lovely friendly welcoming tea shop. A very relaxing visit, although they seemed fairly busy, there was no pressure or feeling rushed. Although we only had a hot drink and a scone each, all of which was excellent, I would be very happy to go there...

We were staying in Chipping Campden and I had googled this tea room and found it provided gluten free food. Being Coeliac I have tried and been disappointed so many times when choosing scones but not here. My fruit scone with clotted cream and strawberry...

We have been visiting this tea room for several years but our last two visits have been ruined by the loud music being played. It is too loud, and the choice of music (chosen by the young staff ?) seems inappropriate for the traditional style...

We popped in for light bites. Good food, good service, good prices and lovely coffee. Vegetable soup with a cheese scone was delicious. We would definitely visit here again.

Visited this lovely tea room after a wonderful walk in the area. I had a lovely pot of Earl Grey tea which also included a pot of hot water, which is a lovely touch as not everywhere does this, and I had a lovely and...

Great quality ingredients for the breakfast- gorgeous sausage and bacon cooked to perfection! Great atmosphere with the wood burner. However unfortunately when ordering I was told I wasn’t allowed to swap an item out from my breakfast choice which has never happened in any place...

A great place to stop off at after you explored the winding lanes of Chipping Campden. The coffe is superb and after all that walking why not treat yourself to one of their delicious home-made cakes. I'm assured they have negative calories!!!!

Nicest coffee I’ve had in a long time! Stopped in for a mid morning coffee and a cake on a cold Saturday, nice and bustle - well met and served efficiently. Breakfast looked good so will try next time!

Visited twice during our 4 days stay in Chipping Camden. Coffee was good, delicious toast & nice cakes. My daughter had the veggie breakfast. Attentive service. Reasonable prices. Clean toilets. Nice atmosphere.

We booked 2 rooms as accommodation whilst walking the Cotswold Way. The rooms in the rear of the building were doubles and had much more room. One single room was upstairs in the back of the building which was en suite but fairly small. Night...

Convenient stop while shopping and touring the town. Service was fast and friendly. Flat white coffees nice and strong but the sponge cake as average and a bit dry. Good atmosphere.

We booked 2 nights with a group of friends for a walking weekend The other rooms were good but our room was abysmal It was very small and the bed was held up on books - but that was not the main issue There was...

Ci siamo fermati in questo bel locale attirati dal menù e dall’ambiente piacevole. Il personale è stato molto gentile e...

Young staff worked hard but not very friendly … stood a while without being acknowledged ….might be better if they closed the kitchen doors as didn’t look very clean or tidy! Very lovely tea in nice cups, and cakes looked good, generous portions but perhaps...

We called in to the Bantam Tea Rooms for afternoon coffee as they have a rear courtyard & we wanted to sit outside. Conveniently situated on the High Street. We enjoyed a cappuccino after exploring Chipping Camden & while waiting for our B&B to open.

Lovely place to visit for coffee and cake. The flat white was delicious and I can recommend the lemon cake. My husband was very enthusiastic about the treacle tart! Also dog friendly.

Three ladies we visited the tea room for afternoon tea. After seating no one waited on us for 15 min, then I went to the counter and ordered 2 teas and 3 scones When the tea arrived we requested for an empty cup and they...

Atmospheric, spacious cafe serving excellent food - visited twice this week for breakfast and lunch, will be back!

My hubby and I met another couple there for breakfast. It was delicious, and very buzzy, lots of people, but tidy.

Popped in here for a quick lunchtime bite on my own, and loved it. Great quality food, good menu, attentive switched-on staff, and a lovely building. Will definitely be back, and wholeheartedly recommend!!

We visited Chipping Camden for the day and came across this lovely place. There was a open fire and the menu had so much we could not decide. We had soup and warm bread with a hot drink. We loved it so much we will...

Lovely small cafe on main road. Great service even when very busy. Coffee and tea drinks were both excellent. The cream tea for one and the sandwiches were excellent at a reasonable price. The best part was the friendly and courteous service

Visited Bantam Tea Rooms for Breakfast as there was no way we were eating in our Hotel! The welcome and service were superb and friendly which we haven’t always found on our visit to the area. Excellent breakfasts for both of us. We had Full...

Popped into the tearoom for an afternoon pick-me-up and enjoyed a pot of tea with crumpets, scones and a coffee sponge. Really lovely atmosphere, nice festive touches and very clean facilities. Could have been warmer and service could have been a little friendlier but all...

I decided to visit the ' Bantam Tea Rooms' with a friend for brunch and a catch-up together after a previously positive experience. Whilst it was respectfully a fairly busy morning and the waiting staff were professional, they were admittedly a little inattentive and dismissive...

Thoroughly recommend the cream tea, homemade scone was delicious 😋 Ask for the homemade jam it's well worth the additional cost. Ambiance and service was very good. Lovely building and felt very welcoming. Good selection of homemade cakes.

A varied menu covering savoury and sweet items for lunch and afternoon tea. They even do cooked breakfasts all day. Service was efficient and all the serving team wore masks

We had some light lunch and coffee; soup was excellent and so was the service. The place was busy on the Sunday.

My husband and I had just arrived in Chipping Campden and had planned to come here for an afternoon tea rather than stopping at the usual services en route. So worth it, we had an afternoon tea, with a Brie and tomato and a Cheddar...

Perfectly acceptable stay for one night. Perfectly acceptable room (not a fan of nearly empty bottles of liquid soap by the sink - gave that a wide berth - and yet usual little bottles of shampoo etc etc. why not do that with all toiletries...

We popped in for coffee and cake. Excellent coffee, all cakes homemade. Bakewell tart excellent, scones freshly made. Very attractive Georgian property in a beautiful Cotswold village.

Lovely building and tea rooms on the high street of Chipping Campden. Very popular for breakfast and many choices. Didn't like the americano coffee but otherwise was lovely.

Excellent All Day Breakfast and such lovely friendly service We felt very welcome and, on our second visit, were just as impressed!

We stayed at The Bantam for one night. The food was delicious, the restaurant staff very pleasant and efficient. Our room was modern, well furnished and equipped, situated at the back of the building, and quiet.

Wonderful little cafe. Lovely service and staff. Great to pop in for good coffee and cheeky little treat. Will be back next time we visit the town. Even looking at staying in the accommodation

We stopped off here and were pleased we came across it. Really lovely setting. The latte was delicious as was the huge portions of cake. My mum had the cheese scone and said it was very tasty. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her sausage roll which...

We enjoyed a very nice lunch sitting in the sunny courtyard behind the tea rooms. The Brie & Cranberry Bagel was especially good, served with a nice salad and reasonably priced. The inside of the tea rooms was also spacious and attractive and we look...

Came here for coffee and cake, and ended up having the tea for 2 . Fantastic food with a setting to match. Dog friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Very friendly staff. A definite if going to The Cotswolds

A lovely tea room with great cakes and sandwiches, good for those with kids and who are more selective with food choice. Staff where all over the place and it took 20 mins for a menu to be bought over to us, but good food...

Almost walked out before ordering as waited 27 minutes before order was taken. Staff appeared harassed and inattentive to customer service. Asked for menu but declined!!! However, eventually; soup & bread, coffee & cake once arrived was very tasty. I wouldn’t visit again as minimal...

For sure the best place in chipping campden for breakfast! Lovely food and great customer service. Will defo be coming back!

We arrived quite late for lunch as we'd planned to eat in Broadway but there was some kind of event on and everywhere was full. Bantam Tea Rooms are very attractive and well laid out. Dog friendly. The menu was rather limited but that may...

Popped into Chipping Campden as we were having our campervan serviced nearby and thought we'd make a day of it. Ordered lunch. Social distancing, hand sanitiser and face masks all evident. Felt very safe. Ordered soup & a sandwich which was delicious and finished it...

I arrived and had the front door shut on me then told to come in like I was an idiot. Haha. Slightly confusing BUT it was obviously a covid thing and the rest of my time there was ace. I had the afternoon tea which...

We had a fantastic lunch at the Bantam tea rooms, a much needed refuel after a long walk. The venue is fantastic with lots of outside seating and also indoor seating under the glass extension. The Brie and bacon bagels went down very well, as...

This would have been 5/5 as the tearoom is lovely, the cake and coffee was delicious. Then we asked where the baby changing was , I was with my 12 week and 2 year old grandchildren, we were told they were closed due to COVID...

Have to agree with the poor reviews about the staff. We are local and parked in the rear car park. Walked up to the outdoor seating area and were greeted by a lady who was probably either the manager or owner with 'Yes?' Can only...

Went here for brunch and ended up having afternoon tea, which was really good. Scones either plain or fruit and a huge choice of cakes and even Darjeeling tea. It was busy, but managed really well and very pleased it is so popular. Would definitely...

The Bantam has a lovely outside seating area, ideal for the sunny weather we enjoyed during our weekend in Chipping Camden. We called here a couple of times for coffee/lunch and had a great experience each time. Efficient and friendly young staff, serving good quality food and drink. Well worth a visit.

What a perfect tea room- amazing location, great old building, so much history, huge fireplace, cozy atmosphere... Plus really good food and quick service. We ll be back.

Stayed here on first night of our honeymoon. Delightful, comfortable room that allowed us access after the tea rooms closed for the day. The en-suite shower room was very attractive with a large shower cubicle. All spotlessly clean. Breakfast in the tea room was fresh and delicious, served in front of a lovely log fire. Delightful staff. We dropped by again the next day for lunch, which was just as good with very good coffee.

Came here for a bite to eat with the family. It’s located in the centre of town and do gets busy, but has around 15 tables, all socially spaced. We had sandwiches and tea and then some cake. All delicious, served with a smile.Would come again

We had lunch here on our first day and breakfast on our last. Lovely staff serving great food in a pretty tea room, what's not to love! The Bantam ploughmans lunch was amazing, huge chunks of cheese and bread with a delicious chutney. Don't miss out.

It was nice ten years ago. Changed owner about 7 years ago and gone from strength to strength. Keeping the original features the fireplace the butchers rail stone floors and moved into the back and outside seating too. The tea and coffee was lovely and the scone a delight the walnut cake was excellent. Service was good friendly and timely. A good visit

Had a quick coffee here while visiting the town. Very nice location with great character. Disappointed with coffee as we found them a little bitter and personally a little too strong, but I'm sure we could have asked for more milk or water. The service was a little blunt and not in keeping with this cozy looking coffee house. Maybe covid contrictions have impacted on the level of service.

Paramos aquí para un sándwich de almuerzo tardío mientras estábamos en la ciudad. Está en la calle principal y muy concurrida. Grandes medidas de seguridad de Covid implementadas y personal amable. El servicio fue un poco lento, y aunque el sándwich de atún estaba delicioso, no fue el factor sorpresa. Volvería es una elección sólida

Aquí tomamos un café y un chocolate caliente. Ambos fueron excelentes ya un precio razonable. El personal fue extremadamente agradable y eficiente.El lugar es una mezcla interesante de lo antiguo y lo nuevo, con un hermoso invernadero en la parte trasera. ¡Los baños son algunos de los mejores que he visto!

10 para un desayuno inglés, esperaría nada menos que la perfección. Pero a mí me parecen salchichas muy normales por ese precio. De hecho, tuve salmón ahumado y huevos revueltos, pero lo que vino fue una tortilla. El jugo de naranja era de botella. No impresionado en absoluto.

Beautiful place in great location. Lots of tasty options, English breakfast, bagel with brie and bacon and salad... Lots of sweet options. All with a good price and very good service.

These lovely cosy tea rooms provided a great escape from the pouring rain. The service was excellent, the staff efficient and friendly. The cheese scone with salad was delicious as was the piping hot capuccino.

Un hermoso entorno y una gran variedad de pasteles, así como un extenso menú para el desayuno y el almuerzo. Fue una pena que el servicio fuera deficiente. Nos trataron de manera bastante abrupta y definitivamente no fue un servicio con una sonrisa. Nos pidieron que nos pusiéramos las máscaras cuando entramos antes de quitárnoslas una vez sentados en nuestra mesa (absolutamente bien), pero a otros clientes no se les pidió que lo hicieran, extraño. . . o todos tenemos que hacerlo o no. La coherencia es clave en estos tiempos.

Comida familiar.Si le gusta el queso, hay una variedad para elegir, pero por lo demás una selección limitada de rellenos para sándwiches.Todos elegimos tostadas de sándwich y fue decepcionante descubrir que cuando llegaron, el pan es lo que describiría como lo que obtienes en los servicios de autopista, esperábamos algo de pan recién hecho de una panadería.Desafortunadamente, aunque nos volvieron a leer el pedido, todavía se equivocaron.Es una pena.

We didn’t know what to expect but certainly did not expect this charming studio room with mezzanine so full of character, old and luxurious at the same time. Loved it!

Popped in as wished a meal without it being too heavy,My wife had great ploughman’s and I had a lovely sandwich and a mug of soup.Service was great , price was reasonable, cakes and scones that were passing to other tables looked good and all fresh.
