The afternoon tea is really good..lot of choices on cakes. The scones are a must have! (Ps, I went there only to have the afternoon tea, that's why I didn't give stars about the rooms :) )

Cosy tearoom but the customer service was bad as they are overrun. We had a crowd gather round our table of customers either waiting to pay or asking where there food was and our pepper pot taken off our table and put on another's who had requested it. It was never returned to our table. They charge extra for baked beans and I've never heard of only being able to do a fried egg for a full English. When asked for it to be cooked a different way, I was told it would cost extra if I wanted it to be scrambled. You also have to pay an extra £1.50 for baked beans which seems strange when most offer it as part of the full English package. People complaining about where there food was, were simply told the 'chef is very busy'. While I get it was a busy Sunday, they should employ extra staff who are more experienced and improve on customer service so tables aren't stacked with crockery and a crowd gathering around the till. In contrast, Broadway Deli in Broadway was exceptional food and good customer service.

Visited the tea rooms on a busy Sunday and even though they were incredibly busy with full tables and a queue out the door, I was well looked after and my breakfast was lovely- could tell it was cooked fresh and not just reheated, so I was happy to wait a little longer! All the staff were very friendly and welcoming and I will be sure to visit again to try some more of the delicious home made cakes:)

Went there for breakfast. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience. Firstly, we were seated at an unclean table which had not been cleared since the prior customers. Second, the food was subpar. We ordered a scrambled eggs and toast, a mushroom and cheese omelette and two pieces of cake from the window. The omelette was a mess, an overcooked congealed mass of cheese within. They used low quality cheddar. The cakes were absolutely dry and probably days old. Disappointing experience and just goes to show the tourist trap like locations in Chipping Camden. Avoid.

We had breakfast at this restaurant and found it to be a pleasant experience overall. The coffee and sweets, while not extraordinary, were quite satisfying and didn't disappoint. What truly sets this place apart is its cozy ambiance, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed morning meal. The restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that complements the dining experience nicely. It's a great place to start your day or to catch up with friends over a cup of coffee.

We recently visited the Cotswolds and after seeing lots of amazing reviews we decided to visit Bantam tea rooms. I had the mini breakfast and my boyfriend had the soup with a cheese scone. We were both very impressed with our food. The only thing we thought was the younger staff members could have been a little bit more hospitable. Maybe they were new and learning! We would definitely return and try the afternoon tea next time.

We made the spontaneous decision to spend Valentine’s away this year, and were fortunate to find room to stay at the Bantam Tea Rooms. The BnB sits above a very quaint tea room which is lovely and bustling in the day filled with happy customers. For BnB guests, there is a brilliant range of breakfast offered (on the house) which we made full advantage of. Upon arrival, we were very happy to discover we had been upgraded to the best room in the house, free of charge. The room was situated on its own private floor which felt very far-removed and tranquil. Lovely view of the high street (can be a tad noisy at night, so bring ear plugs!). Bathroom was absolutely spotless and had clearly just been renovated. Lovely big bath and waterfall shower. Great to come back to the room after a long hike and have a luxurious bath! Good amenities such as a desk and TV. Would’ve been nice to have a hairdryer in the room, but not major. Just make sure to pack your own! All in all, the room was stunning, private and spotless. The Bantam Tea Rooms offers a lovely place to rest your head, for a brilliant price. And, a great breakfast come morning! We will definitely be coming back.

Came for a cream tea and it did not disappoint. The scones were fresh, and the tea was strong. There’s an option to add a slice of cake but I’d recommend just sticking to the tea and scones. Nothing wrong with the baked goods, just ended up being too much food!

There were 3 members of staff out front on the day we visited. All milling around not doing very much. No one was prioritising the customers, and we didn't feel at all welcome at all. Although eventually, we did have some delicious cake, and the cafe itself is really, very sweet, next time I'm in town for a coffee or bite to eat, I'll go somewhere a little more friendly and welcoming.

My husband and I stopped here for Breakfast today, and were blown away by the whole experience. The decor was stunning, with beautiful wood tables and lots of natural light. The menu was great, and offered lots of gluten free options (gf bread, cakes and SCONES!) which was a pleasant surprise and made it really hard to make a choice! I ended up going with the soup of the day (tomato and roasted red pepper) with a cheese toasty, and my husband had a full english. Honestly, it was perfection. The food was fresh and full of flavour. Worth noting that the bacon was perfectly crisped in the full english - SO GOOD. I’m always skeptic when i see outdoor/detached loos, but these were nicer than any i’ve been in before (see pictures attached). The coffee and service were also top notch. All round: we can’t highly recommend it enough!

What a lovely place with lovely people! We'd driven absolutely miles to "do a bit of the Cotswolds" one Saturday. My dearly beloved (i.e. boss) suggested we stop in for some tea as we traipsed up and down the High Street, and I was so hungry I said "Yes dear, of course", with every intention of having much more than a cup of tea. So the All Day Breakfast it was, then... Service really friendly and helpful, made us feel welcome (which is unusual in itself in the modern "hospitality" industry). But another reason I'm writing this is because of the breakfast. Honestly? I imagine you're saying. Yes, I reply. I don't think I've ever tasted one like it (sorry, dear) - everything so perfectly cooked and presented. Even the tea was good. So if you're in the area it's worth popping in to see what I mean. If I didn't live so exhaustingly far away I'd be in there every week. Of course, they've now just got to live up to what I've said. Hey ho. No pressure then.

We were incredibly impressed with quality of food and very tasteful interior style, so were extra disappointed when the service was so poor! Only two members of staff struggling to keep on top of all of the tables between them and seating countless new customers and without dealing with existing ones. After we had enjoyed our lunch we decided to order a drink and piece of homemade cake but never got to as we sat in front of our empty plates for half an hour before realising the only way people were managing to get the attention of staff was by forming a queue at their small till point. Having joined said queue to pay I was asked to bear with them a minute as they tried to work out which tables had been updated on their system, so sat back down and made friends with the two ladies next to us who were equally as confused that they had walked into such a lovely establishment but been left waiting with closed menus for half an hour. If they’d just had another two people serving and been a bit more organised the whole experience would have been a solid five stars so hopefully this situation was just a one off!

Food was satisfactory. Atmosphere calm and relaxing however service was extremely poor, greeted at the door by a young woman with ‘ sit wherever you want ‘ and almost aggressively being given the menu’s as she walked away immediately. As we ordered drinks we we’re served dirty glasses in which I asked politely for clean ones, I was told sternly by the same woman that it’s ‘PROBABLY just water marks’ and then proceeded to have to wait ten minutes for the replacements, by then our food had arrived and we we’re left without a drink to go down with our meals. However the older gentleman who said goodbye was extremely friendly and was greeting other customers with lovely manners. Perhaps the other staff need to take a leaf out of his book!!

A bit disappointing to be honest. It was cold and damp outside and the same inside. Fire unlit. I was cold from the minute I walked in up until we left . Is there any other kind of heating?. I didn't feel it! The door was almost constantly open, which did not help,and it squeaked all the time - it needs some oil. {You might find the cobwebs when you do that!} Coffee and food were OK, as was the service... nothing more. It could and should be inviting, and warm. It wasn't. It just seemed a bit tired. A shame , as it looks really nice.

As always the food is delicious. We always enjoy going to the Bantam. If I have any criticism it's that the staff are not so friendly. It could be because Chipping Campden is a tourist town and the staff are probably rushed off their feet. However, having said that it would be nice to be greeted with a friendly smile and a word of greeting. I would definitely recommend the Bantam.

Poor service experienced from walking in the door unfortunately. We were sat down at a dirty table and then left without menus for at least five minutes. Drinks orders did not arrive in good time - I think they were forgotten. One coffee then arrived and our hot chocolate order came 10 minutes later (without the promised cream and flake added) after two full tables that had arrived after us had been served first. The manner of the older lady who appeared to be the supervisor was poor, and we observed other tables around us to be receiving a similar level of service. It seems that this place relies on it's positioning in the town and the history of the building to keep the doors open however if reviews like this keep being left online, they might start to struggle going forward.

Beautiful building and food cooked well. Lovely tableware too and the toilets were really well done. However being a vegetarian it was a little disappointing that the breakfast didn't include a veggie sausage (not sure what would have been available for a vegan) and the service was a little to be desired - whilst efficient we didn't get a warm welcome and customer service was basic - we didn't feel a valued customer so not the best way to finish what was a lovely week's stay in Chipping Campden. A lot of potential though...

We visited jacks 2 days ago actually, impressed when they gave me a separate Free From menu (I’m lactose tolerant). Food came quickly, staff friendly. Really enjoyed it. Went back today and had a completely different experience sadly. We ordered similar meals but one was from the Free From menu minus hollandaise sauce. Guess what? Both came WITH hollandaise sauce. Foreign waitress clearly didn’t understand. Plate eventually removed and had to wait another 10 minutes while hubby started his food. Not impressed as he specifically said one from Dairy Free menu! They were clearly having a bad day as one couple left without having their coffees and they got another food order wrong.
