About
Bantam Tea Rooms is on the High Street in Chipping Campden, in a house of 1693 looking across to the Market Hall. It has been a tea room since 1949, and is open every day from 9.30am to 5pm.
Cakes and scones are baked each day in its own bakery, with a gluten-free choice, and lunches are made on the premises, with coffee and a range of teas. There is a tea garden behind.
The house has seven en-suite bed and breakfast rooms, from £90 a night for the single to £155 for the superior double, when we checked in October 2026. The Hen's Nest, a two-floor self-catering bothy for two in the grounds, separate from the house, is £160 a night with a minimum stay of two nights. Staying guests can use the private car park at the back and the tea garden in the evening. St James's Church is at the end of Church Street.
