We stopped in for tea and scones. Great service and atmosphere. The scones were the best I had on my trip.

Quaint tea room full of charm. Tea weak, scone dry and brittle, clotted cream stiff and tasteless. Strawberry preserve good. Not busy when I was there. Server uninterested in taking my order or giving us our bill. Cakes looked good, but may have been without flavor too. Indoor and outdoor seating. read more

The building is lovely and we were able to sit outside in the sunshine, which is always a bonus. The staff were nice but there was a bit of confusion (not just with us) about whether you order inside or outside, as a few of us were waiting for a while. My fruit scone looked really nice but I've had much better. I'm fairly local and had heard great things, but the texture just wasn't up to par. Maybe my scone was a few days old, I'm not sure. Overall, it's a lovely garden to sit in but I wouldn't go back when there are lots of other local villages with similar offerings. read more

The Bantam Tea Rooms - Cream tea with fruit scone - Tea Rooms Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

After our day's Cotswold's walk from Broadway to Chipping Campden, we enjoyed a highly recommended nice chicken curry lunch at the Noel Arms. A few hours later, I convinced Gayle that we should try afternoon tea since we were in England after all. I then led her (reluctantly) to the Bantam Tea Rooms. We agreed that High Tea (sandwiches, cakes, and scones) was too much time and too much food. My order was Picard tea (Earl Grey Hot) and a scone (with jam and clotted cream), while Gayle added cake to that food order and skipped the tea entirely in favor of a glass of bubbly. I thought the whole experience was pleasant and relaxing. Our service was engaged and I thought the food (including lots of cakes to choose from) was very tasty. At the time, Gayle was having a good time as well, although she claims later that she suffered through it and was too stuffed to have anything more than snacks for dinner. I was grateful for the experience and knew that there was no need to revisit this experience during the rest of our trip. Pity, but as they say in Hebrew: Shalom Bayit. read more

The rooms were clean, simple, and had ample natural light streaming in from the skylight and two windows. The exposed stone wall and slate floor felt rustic, but the new amenities and sleek design felt Scandinavian. The included breakfast was delicious and made from scratch. I would recommend this B&B to a friend in a heartbeat. Side note - the only way to get outside air circulating in the room is through the skylight which has a motorized lift to open and shut. If it's raining, a sensor in the motor unit will disable the window from opening, which means you cannot get fresh air in the room. I wish there was another way to circulate fresh air in these circumstances... read more

Enjoyed our stay at the Bantham tea room! Easy checkin although a minor hiccup from the staff not knowing we needed an extra cot in the room. Took some time to set up the bed but issue resolved immediately. We booked the Pekin room on the upstairs floor that faced the main road. There was some traffic noise but wasn't too bad. The bedroom consists of 1 double and 1 twin. Comfortably housed our family of 4 with the extra cot. Heating worked tremendously well. This bedroom is the only one with tub/shower. Very clean bedroom/bathroom with nice water pressure. Breakfast was made to order, simple and good but only served from 8:30-9:30am. Free parking in the back or free overnight street parking. Dinner at don Luigi's next door was good but small portions. Would highly recommend this b&b! read more

Located conveniently at the heart of Chipping Campden, the Bantam had a very lovely atmosphere; very reasonably priced, and had lovely food which we recommend. Staffs were friendly, and was just overall a relaxing joint to catch your breath while touring! read more

Overall the food gives them 5 big bright stars, but the attitude of the woman who took my order was less than appealing, hence the reduced star rating of only 4. 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!) read more

The tea service was very good and my daughters enjoyed their "non-tea" meals. My wife had the scone and Victorian sponge. The scone was delicious. The Victorian sponge was good. I had the crumpets and a rich chocolate brownie. Both were wonderful. My daughters had the cheese scones which was delightful. Since this was only my second tea, I do not have much to compare to but I enjoyed the environment and the waitstaff was very friendly. I would go back again for the scones. read more

On a brief stop, our hungry little tour group set about to find a place for lunch. Our hungry little group descends upon this place. Were we glad we found this cozy little cafe. warm and comfortable on a rainy July day, we are seated and find a busy little crowd seating in the one dining room. A Cotswold Lager was served cold. Our homemade soups were excellent. read more

The Bantam Tea Rooms - In Chipping Camden - Tea Rooms Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

Have only stopped here for tea and coffee with a light cake/toasted tea-cake which were fine. The problem lies with the service which is 'standard laid-back English' - they don't seem very worried about serving you, which they probably aren't as they must be over-run during the high season in this popular tourist spot. Would be nice to be greeted with enthusiasm though...... read more

Food was ok. The cheese scone I ordered was kind of dry but everthing else was passable. Our waitress was quite snooty and didnt seem to like us because of our american accents. She gave my wife a lecture on how to order eggs in England which I found very silly in a village with many tourists from around the world. read more

We spent one night at the Bantam Team Room B&B and it was delightful. The host welcomed us and showed us to our rooms in the back of a historic tea room. We had rented 2 rooms for myself and husband and my husband's parents. We were surprised to find out that we had the whole place to ourselves - so we were able to use all of the shared space and use the place as if it was an entire home for us. The rooms are cute and are decorated with charm. Everything was very clean. The location cannot be beat - right in the middle of the high street in Chipping Campden. There is a private parking lot in the back of the Tea Room as well. Breakfast was also great. The couple that owns it prepares everything themselves (bakes the breads, makes the jams, etc...). You can even buy their homemade jams and chutneys! Overall, I'd highly recommend the Bantam Tea Rooms. For the price and location - it was perfect! read more

Stopped off at Bantam Tea Rooms on the morning after the night before for some rest and recuperation. We were immediately drawn in by the beautiful homemade cakes resting in the window and the cozy atmosphere spilling out of the Cotswold stone. Definately a welcome sight for sore eyes! Service was prompt and staff very attentive. The full English was spot on, everything was really well cooked with quality ingredients (coming from an anal chef, this is a big compliment) the buttery shrooms and a perfect fried egg nailed it! Followed by a moist carrot cake and cappucino, the hangover was well and truly cracked. If we're ever passing through again, we will be back. Thank you! read more

Walked into this place as I wanted to grab a hot coffee and escape the cold outside. The mocha was one of best ones I have had. I also packed a panini to take away and it tasted good after an hour long hike. They also had a huge selection of cakes and scones.The staff was nice and friendly. Great value for price. read more

My wife and I had a great time in Chipping Campden, and this stop made it even better. The cream tea service was very good and the coffee walnut cake equally as nice. Scones and clotted cream were the best we had while we were in the Cotswolds. Staff were friendly enough. read more
