Established in 1908 the Tea Room, originally known as Derricks, has seen many changes, even surviving the Great Flood of Cheddar in 1968, to now be proudly owned and run by Simon & Bonnie. Lion Rock Tea Room is nestled in the idyllic Cheddar Gorge, below Lion Rock, in what was once three stone masons’ cottages and also Cheddar’s original cheese shop. With a wide selection of locally sourced food and beverages on offer, the quaint cafe is the perfect place to pause for a delicious meal or afternoon tea whilst taking in its gorgeous surroundings.
The celebration afternoon tea is the perfect way to spend a special occasion and treat your loved ones to some quality time together whilst tasting some delicious and indulgent treats.

All served with a pot of loose leaf Tea and of course a glass of Prosecco each.

My wife and I have been to Cheddar on several occasions but never been for a cream tea in this location before. We were greeted with a warm welcome and given the choice of several tables, we chose a window seat as the weather was hot and sunny. The service was very prompt and efficient, The sandwiches and cakes looked and tasted delightful and our choice of tea came in a good sized teapot that gave us 3 cups each. We had a gin and tonic to cool ourselves down with whilst we waited for our order to arrive. The surroundings were quaint and pleasing to the eye, the ambiance was very relaxed and although there were quite a few others dining there was enough space to enjoy our own company without being disturbed or interrupted by anyone else. All in all my wife and I had a lovely,relaxed and enjoyable cream tea.

Venue was OK Table was very sticky from previous customers Food was not worth the money, not exactly generous! Cakes were awful. The type you can buy in a packet from a budget supermarket. Small, odd tasting scones. There was a strong vanilla taste, which made them quite unpleasant. Staff never checked back to see if we needed anything or it was OK Overall, not a place to celebrate = Give it a miss!

Very poor quality. Christmas cake slices from packet such as Mr Kipling and Thorntons millionaire squares. Expected a bit better quality for an afternoon tea for how much it cost

This was a gift given to me by my granddaughter for my birthday. My husband joined me for this. It was a freezing cold day, and we were sat not far away from an open barn door. The service was awful and we were not once asked if everything was ok. We certainly were not made to feel this was a celebration tea! Also, there were stains on the table and the ladies toilets were not good! On leaving, we weren't asked if we enjoyed our tea..very poor! If this is what is called a celebration tea, it's a very disappointing experience!
