What an amazing cafe in the heart of Cheddar Gorge! We had a voucher based afternoon tea booked. The team were very accommodating on the run up, helping me sort my (standard) double booking. When we arrived on a raining Saturday afternoon the place was buzzing, with all ages - but not loud enough to prevent good conversations. Very pleasant (though cozy) 2 floor layout with some nice 2nd floor garden seating. Great decor, not over done sitting somewhere between a cozy home and a contemporary cafe. Staff always had a smile and appeared relaxed and happy. The only issue is the card machine didn't let me tip more!

If you are visiting Cheddar this cafe is a must! Gorgeous food, and the best staff. A beautiful setting and traditional tearoom. Afternoon tea is a real treat if you want to celebrate something or just make the day extra special.

Gorgeous tearoom! Food was delicious - heart shaped scones were adorable and tea was a lovely loose leaf blend. We sat in the little garden at the back and were served by a young lady with a badge that read “in training” - she seemed quite nervous, but she shouldn’t have been because she was doing a great job! 👍 a lovely end to our holiday in Somerset. We will be back next summer! Thank you! ❤️

Went this afternoon with a friend to use a voucher I’d been given for afternoon tea. Amazing! The building and way the cafe is set up is beautiful. Exceptionally clean, well designed and decorated. Really quirky. Service was brilliant. Staff were lovely, attentive and made the whole experience even better. Food was fantastic. Fresh, home made, varied and great value for money. They do gluten free, vegan and vegetarian and although I didn’t eat any of these the fact they had something to offer will be something I take back to my family of many intolerances. The location is the only slightly difficult bit, but you wouldn’t expect much else in the middle of a gorge! I would happily negotiate this to come back again. Really impressed :-)

The bacon maple waffle was to die for. Staff were super friendly on an early Sunday morning. Highly recommend the pumpkin spice Latte too, not too sweet like some of the big chains.

Cycled over to the Gorge, and decided to stop for a bit of lunch. Wow! I was really looked after, and the food was fantastic.

We ordered Soup of the day. The soup isn't liquid. So it's quite filling. Alongside, we had a toasted cheddar and chutney doorstop sandwich and cheddar and toasted ham sandwich. We also had cream tea with cheese scone and a normal scone. The scone came with chutney and clotted cream. Overall, we were beyond filled so had to pack one each of the sandwiches. If you take the outdoor seating, you can see the lion figured mountain behind the restaurant. The rooftop seating is fantastic. The service was speedy and splendid. Definitely a great experience.

Lovely place for a bite to eat in Cheddar and can be very busy. Parking is a nightmare (no fault of Lion Rock) which was the only downside. Excellent mocha coffee ☕️ I would go so far as to say one of the best I've ever had. Despite parking, loads of people and possibly having to wait for a table, it is well worth a visit and without doubt on my list for a return

Gorgeous quirky tea rooms with a roof top garden and stunning views of the gorge. The food is mostly locally sourced and the taste was just stunning. My kids loved it and we would highly recommend for a cream tea. The freshly baked scones melt in your mouth.
