Lion Rock Tea Rooms

What an amazing place to stop for food, snacks, or just tea & cake. From the friendly greeting & being shown to our table on the terrace, the whole feel of the place is comforting, as from the outside it looks to be a small building, but there are tables on the ground & first floor, plus the terrace which is a real sun trap & gets very busy in those sunny days. It's all table service which is both easier & most pleasant as the young person taking our order was helpful & informative as we were looking to adapt our order for Gluten Free & Vegan. With no real time delay we enjoyed our choices of cream teas, cakes, tea, coffee & hot chocolate, no food was wasted or left by us, as there was no faults or complaints with our visit. We are planning to go back again real soon for breakfast & I am sure a cheeky slice of cake or two as the dessert display is most dangerous on your eyes, taste buds & definitely the waistline, oh well life is too short to not enjoy cake. Thanks for the full time on our visit. 27/06/25 Today is our returning visit, I am sure of many more. After a long walk around Cheddar, you just have to stop for a break, maybe a cream tea, which we did today, with one of which needed to be Gluten Free. Another amazing visit for some excellent food, & what a great, warm, welcoming & friendly staff team they were again. A big Thank You.

We had a wonderful time having afternoon tea celebrating a friend's special birthday. The online booking was easy and I was there able to add a note one of our guests is a coeliac. When we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome and a friendly manner. The afternoon tea was delicious and plenty to enjoy. My friend that is coeliac had her own separate food stand with all her gluten free sandwiches, scones and cake. The service was great, the food was delicious, lovely atmosphere and I will definitely return!

What can I say about this little gem? It was a lucky stop for lunch for us. The food was delicious (Vegan. Vegetarian and gluten free here) and was well accommodated by a very kind and knowledgeable waitress. The prices were great. The food delicious. The atmosphere was super relaxed and friendly. I wish I could give more than 5*! Thanks so much!!
