Best service I’ve had. Wonderful polite, genuine people. Excellent service. Cakes and teas are delightful. Wonderful to have a tea shop serving GF and VG options! All GF products were covered with clingfilm to ensure no cross contamination, that was reassuring, and nice to see. Gluten-free brownie tasted amazing. Will be bringing my partner here, who is vegan in the future for tea and cake. It nice you can go somewhere and still feel included with cake and food. It’s a small shop so probably best to go in the week when less busy to have the best experience. I imagine it’s quite popular as everything is so tasty and looks amazing. The lady who served us was very helpful and found a tub we could take a cake back in for my partner.

Our visit to the Cotswolds would not seem right without some tea and scones. We found a place in Bourton-on-the-Water High Road and it looked really nice! So the service I have to say needs a bit of looking into as the staff were overwhelmed with the customers and not enough staff to help, we were forewarned there was a 30mins wait for food. I was a bit upset as they didn’t have a lot of the iced coffees (no ice to make them). The food actually came quicker then expected and it did look really good especially the scones! The sandwich I must say wasn’t anything special, a bit bland if I’m honest but the scones were simply AMAZING!! Soft, fluffy and very buttery! Would definitely go back for the scones.

I had a mars bar chocolate brownie which was delicious and a huge pot of tea for £2.50 (no price on menu page). However, many of the food items on display don't have prices on them and a sign said 'cake of the day + hot drink £5.50'. There was a big queue by the cakes so I asked the young staff doing ice cream & milkshake what cake was special and they answered rudely "I don't know what you mean?!" I explained about the sign and said "don't you work here?" and "is this the same business?" they were uninterested in what I had to say. Later my sister told me the girl was laughing behind my back just because I asked. It's a shame because the food was reasonable but the lack of prices and some moody staff didn't help. You decide where to go.

Cakes looked fantastic and highly calorific! The cafe also sells ice cream, slush drinks etc that you can access without entering the building. Had a frothy cappuccino. Was not very hot nor did it taste very strong. It might have tasted nicer if the waitress could have made eye contact with me. (Surely the point of having fake eyelashes is to attract more eye contact? Just saying ...) Perhaps she was stressed: there is a notice outside the cafe saying they are short staffed so drinks are being served in disposable cups. Plenty of outdoor seating on the green overlooking the road / river. Indoor seating too. The Chestnut Tree is separate business to Chestnut Bed and Breakfast.
