The charming and quaint honey colored limestone building with a small outdoor patio makes for a relaxing afternoon tea experience.

Bottom line: Badger's Hall has the English tea tradition down to a T.

Soup of the day and a scone, some tea, and a lovely Bakewell tart for under £15 was a fantastic deal. The soup was a wonderful spinach-courgette-leek blend - thick & hearty - served with a fabulous cheese scone. There was a bit of a breeze in the air today and it was perfect. Unfortunately, the attitude of our server was generally unwelcoming. Perhaps it was the American accents, as others have mentioned, but we both work in the service industry and are hyper-aware of how we treat restaurant & retail workers. Maybe she was having an off-day, but she seemed pleasant with others in the establishment. She was very nice when we were paying and leaving though. ::shrug:: I would definitely visit here again since the food is exceptional! (They even have a lovely outdoor area where you can eat with your dog in company!)

We were sat upstairs near the window and it was nice and quiet there. Everything we ordered was delicious and we enjoyed our time here. Scone with cream and jam. I ordered plain scone. It was delicious. Warm fresh scone served with yummy cream and jam. I also ordered the chocolate cake tea with the scone and it was surprisingly good. Had some chocolate flavor and tasted good with milk. Hubby ordered Mac and cheese and it was served piping hot with a slice of garlic bread. Pretty good too! Kiddo ordered hot chocolate with marshmallows and a chocolate cake. The cake itself was soft and moist and not overly sweet. Went well with the tea and hot chocolate. The hot chocolate seemed standard and she seemed to like it. The place is not overly pricey for a touristy place. Service was also good and friendly.

I had the Hot Chocolate with Marshmallow and Cream and my friend had tea with milk. We also ordered 2 different kinds of their house made scones, and those came with raspberry jam and clotted cream. The scones were great. They weren't sweet, so the went perfectly on it. When in England, you have to have the clotted cream with your scone. The scone has enough butter in it. They are really friendly here too! Hope we can come back again during our short stay here in the Cotswolds.

With a recommendation from not one but two guidebooks, you'd think it'd at least be decent, but…read moreinstead, it was deceptive and disappointing. They mark everything as homemade, but whose home since there's no oven on the premises and nothing is baked there? I wanted a really authentic experience for a pastry calorie bomb, but instead, got mediocre supermarket grade snacks at a premium. I was appalled when the cabinet I was sitting next to popped open and I saw Eccles cake--the same as what was plated in a Saran-wrapped plate right on the sideboard above the cabinet--individually wrapped in manufactured plastic packaging, and TESCO SUPERMARKET BRAND chocolate chip cookies also neatly stacked in mass production packaging. But on the other hand, I guess it's pretty authentic since locals eat it? Further souring the experience was when I asked where the scones were actually from and I found out the bakery the server said did not even exist, which felt very dishonest. Also, the scone was microwaved and had a spongy, mass-produced American biscuit taste to it (think KFC with raisins). They had no idea what type of cheese was even in the sandwiches, either. The cakes are supposedly locally sourced, but at this point, I find it difficult to believe anything said. The jams they sell up front are not what they use in the food, either. The food wasn't really awful, but save your money and get the real deal elsewhere. You're paying for the ambiance, but not much more, but Broadway is a bit of a Cotswold tourist trap, it seems. So sad I went out of my way to come here. Biggest disappointment during my whole trip.

If you've ever found yourself in the middle of nowhere at a place you can't believe isn't in the…read moremiddle of somewhere you'll understand how I felt about the Blockley Village Shop and Cafe. Walking the Cotswolds Round over the course of 7 days meant never quite knowing where I was, where I was going, or what I'd find there so when I came to the Blockley Cafe and found handsome groups brunching at tables indoors and out with leashed dogs at their feet I was sorry that I was still full from breakfast. Still, there's always room for a latte and carrot cake, especially if it gives one the opportunity to hang out at such an attractively casual spot. The service here is nice if a little a wonky due to the popularity of the place. It mattered little though. Blockley Cafe just has a wonderful vibe. The Village Shop is attached to the Cafe (or vice versa) and it was the sort of market that I enjoy looking through. Prices were very good for specialty foods I'd like to bring back home with me. Blockley's inescapable claim to fame is that the popular BBC series, "Father Brown" is filmed at the church that sits mere steps from the Cafe. So it's somewhat mandatory to visit that before or after a stop at the Cafe.

Everything was delicious and made in house (easy to taste that nothing came from a tin).
