Lion Rock Tea Rooms

Lion Rock Tea Rooms A tea room, but not as you know it. Yes, we serve tea… but think loose-leaf blends, barista-crafted coffees and fully licensed.

Add in freshly cooked food, table service, and a handful of awards and you’ve got far more than a cuppa —you have a experience! Nestled in the heart of Cheddar Gorge in one of the oldest, most photographed and documented buildings beneath the World Famous Lion Rock. Trading since 1908, the Tea Rooms have won numerous awards along the way, most recently and for the second time in a row, Somerset Life Magazine Best Independent Tea/Coffee Shop Awards 2018, Bristol, Bath and Somerset Tourism Awards Gold Award for Best Tea/ Coffee Shop 2017/18, Somerset West Tourism Awards Bronze Award for Best Tea/ Coffee Shop 2017/18 in the West Country and Somerset Life Magazine Best Independent Tea/Coffee Shop Awards 2017

Open all year round, fully licensed and serving the finest Loose Tea and Barista Coffee with an extensive Menu all cooked on the premises by our Chef and his Team, Lion Rock Tea Rooms is especially known for their Breakfast, Homemade Cream Teas and Afternoon Teas, with a every increasing Vegan range on the Menu too. With six different themed rooms including wood burners and open fires in the Winter and with a secluded garden in the Summer time you will be spoilt for choice on where to sit and when to visit.

🧀 Great to see Jeff Brazier and the This Morning team today, celebrating National Cheese on Toast Day in the perfect place… Cheddar! 🧀

We loved being part of the day here at Lion Rock Tea Rooms — after all, where better to celebrate cheese on toast than Cheddar Gorge? 😋🧀

There were some great video of the gorge, caves, cheddar gold and of course Lion Rock. Who saw the broadcast live or on catch up?

🧀 IT’S NATIONAL CHEESE ON TOAST DAY! 🧀

Crispy toast topped with plenty of delicious melted Cheddar. 😋

Question is…

HOW WOULD YOU HAVE YOURS? 🧀🍞

Would you go for the rich, full flavour of Cave Matured Cheddar or keep it classic with Original Cheddar, or maybe one of our unique flavoured blends all locally made?

Let us know in the comments!

There is another reason we’re asking… 📺

Jeff Brazier will be in the Gorge and at Lion Rock asking that very same question for ITV’s This Morning! 🎥

Keep an eye out for us this morning on TV! 🙌🦁 Or pop up and say hello yourself 😃
