We always call into Lion Rock whenever we are in Cheddar. My coeliac husband loves their gluten free cream tea and yesterday he enjoyed a gluten free big breakfast. The waitress explained that there would be a little delay as they use a separate toaster and fryer and would need time for it to heat up. Good to know that the staff are aware of cross contamination issues.
Friendly, smiling staff as soon as we walked in, we were shown to our table and didn't have to wait. The food and drinks were delicious. Would definitely go back. Special shout out to our server, Dudley, who was very attentive. Great place, I would recommend to anyone.
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.
Staying locally and dropped in as we had a voucher for afternoon tea and this was the nearest.
Lovely tea room in Cheddar Gorge - busy but plenty of seating. Friendly service. Music was a little loud but quality 50s and 60s so we didn’t mind.
Afternoon tea was perfect. Plenty of food. Warm scones and much fun had. Thank you.
We popped in on the off chance they took dogs, to our delight they did!
It was pouring and we were made to feel very welcome, service was diligent and quick. Lunch portions were big and delicious. We had a cream tea which we can recommend too. Brilliant 👏
We really enjoyed our afternoon tea. Good service and friendly staff. Nice surroundings. Food lovely and a proper pot of tea 🍵. Clean and tidy place. Would go again.
Visited two days in a row, first morning had a cream tea. The scones was warm and fluffy. The second morning we had "The big" breakfast. Both times it was amazing and the loose leaf tea was the best I've had. Would highly recommend.
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! ❤️
10 stars would be more appropriate! We had breakfast at the café and it was absolutely delicious. The tea was proper loose tea with a strainer and we loved it. Lauren also makes the best coffee.
It was my daughter’s birthday and they put balloons on the table for me. I had also ordered a birthday cake to be delivered there which they brought to the table, singing Happy Birthday 🎶.
Steph, Sam and Lauren were amazing. If the weather is nice you can even sit in the lovely garden. If you are in Cheddar this is the place to stop.
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.
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.
