Nestled in the heart of the stunning Cheddar Gorge, beneath the iconic Lion Rock, Lion Rock Tea Room is a charming spot with a rich history dating back to 1908. Originally known as Derricks, the Tea Room has weathered many changes—surviving even the Great Flood of Cheddar in 1968—and is now proudly run by Simon & Bonnie. This quaint, cozy cafe, housed in what was once three stone masons’ cottages and Cheddar’s original cheese shop, is the perfect place to relax, enjoy some delicious food, and soak in the breathtaking surroundings.
If you're looking to treat someone special, the Celebration Afternoon Tea is the way to go! Perfect for marking a special occasion or simply enjoying a leisurely afternoon with loved ones, this indulgent spread is sure to make any day memorable.
Upon arrival, you'll be warmly greeted by a friendly staff member who will seat you at your table. Then, sit back and savour a delectable selection of finger sandwiches, homemade fruit scones with local clotted cream and strawberry jam, and two slices of freshly baked cake—each bite more delicious than the last! All of this is served alongside a pot of loose leaf tea, and of course, a celebratory glass of Prosecco to toast the occasion.
Lion Rock Tea Room’s peaceful, picturesque setting makes it the perfect spot to unwind, chat, and enjoy good food. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or just a treat to yourself, make your visit extra special with our Celebration Afternoon 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!

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!

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.

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
