Lion Rock Tea Rooms
About
Nestled at the crest of Cheddar Gorge beneath the iconic Lion Rock, the Lion Rock Tea Rooms have delighted visitors since 1908 with their warm, inviting atmosphere and award‑winning tea selection. The historic building houses seven uniquely themed rooms—each with its own ambience, from wood‑burning fires in winter to cosy, indoor nooks in spring and a secluded garden that opens up for sunny afternoons. Alongside traditional tea and coffee, the tea rooms offer a full menu of breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, thoughtfully crafted to include vegetarian and vegan options. With a legacy of national recognition—including the Somerset Life Magazine Best Independent Tea/Coffee Shop Award and the Bristol, Bath & Somerset Tourism Gold Award—Lion Rock continues to be a must‑visit destination for tea lovers, families, and history enthusiasts alike.
