Chipping Campden is a small market town in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire. It is notable for its elegant terraced High Street, dating from the 14th century to the 17th century. ("Chipping" is from Old English cēping, "a market, a market-place"; the same element is found in other towns such as Chipping Norton, Chipping Sodbury and Chipping (now High) Wycombe.
Badgers Hall Tea Rooms is situated right in the high street of Chipping Campden. The building is of honey coloured Cotswold stone dating from the 15th century with mullioned windows and exposed beams.
Only a few doors down from another tea room, this tea room really is a fine example of an English Tea Room of the highest order and reminded me of a larger version of the King Alfred's Kitchen in Wiltshire.
Low beams and ceilings, open fire, old glass cabinets, wooden tables and chairs, grandfather clock which chimes on the hour and lovely wall pictures, carpets to both sides of the tea room with a tiled walk way leading from the main door, which sits a lovely display table of cakes and scones makes this English tea room quite special.
The staff were very nice and welcoming and the décor and lighting made this tea room very special and extremely relaxing indeed.
I can highly recommend the Badgers Hall Tea Room and sitting down in this tea room eating, drinking and chatting looking out of the lovely low windows that have window seating would be a blessing and parking is pretty ok too.

Beautiful day with sun shining down in Gloucestershire in this little quaint village known as Chipping Campden and what best to accommodate the little quaint village...a tea room of course. The Bantam Tea Rooms is basic but nice and occupies an old Cotswold stone building from the 17th Century. One area has a low front window display and the area in which I had my lunch had high windows which proved a little dark but in the centre was a lovely large open log fire with a nice black beam and well made up for the slight loss of natural day light.
There were several round and square wooden tables and chair but no tablecloths sadly, but again, something else made up for this. The lovely red patterned carpet with nice wall pictures with low ceiling which, in the winter would be nice with a roaring log fire in the background. The tea room had a nice feel and was quiet, my ideal place. A tea garden to the rear was also available.
I had beans on toast, salad garnish, pot of tea with a top up water—nice indeed. There was a nice selection of food; homemade soups, salads, omelettes, scones and much more.
I can recommend this little English tea room sitting in a really nice English village.
