Good traditional pub grub with a gastro gourmet twist! The Bar: Overlooking the Square, this is the place to meet in Campden and an ideal place for relaxed drinks and bar food.

The a la carte menu is also available to enjoy in the bar area. Afternoon Tea: All over the country, the grand old tradition of afternoon tea is well and truly in vogue! The custom of afternoon tea was introduced in 1840 after the Seventh Duchess of Bedford typically became peckish at four o’clock in the afternoon. The Duchess felt that the time between their formal lunch and dinner was rather too long and so insisted that a tray of tea, bread and butter was brought to her private rooms in the afternoon. She soon started to invite her friends to take tea with her and the fashion spread like wildfire among London socialites. Afternoon tea became ‘the thing to do’ and during the 1800s women of standing and birth would change into formal gowns, gloves and hats and take their tea in the drawing room between four and five o’clock - a ceremony that is a common sight in many period dramas. The Kings continues this great tradition and serves a variety of cream teas, full afternoon teas and, for a touch of luxury, sparkling afternoon teas with a glass of fizz. Take yourself back in time and spend an afternoon taking tea without a care in the world!
