Cheddar Cheese Cottage Tea Room in Sedgemoor

We chose to sit outside in the calming cheddar rain just underneath some shelter outside of the cheese cottage. To the waiters shock that we were sitting in the rain excited to taste the toasty , we were offered a table inside with our dogs but insisted on staying outside for the full cheddar gorge toasty experience. 😀

Lovely little café. Cheese scone with pickle nice. Also serve cakes.

Food was nice, waiter was rude and acted like it was an inconvenience when just reminding him we ordered a coffee also. I noticed there have been a few other reviews saying about the rudeness aswell, so obviously not the first time.

Visit here twice a year or so whilst away, got too say this place is amazing! Staff are always very polite and helpful with a smile, amazing hot food and drinks. (Best hot chocolate i have ever had). I would recommend this place to everybody! 🙂

Independently owned and family operated treasure in Cheddar Gorge, very close to Jacob's Ladder. Lovely fresh bread and great quality cheeses. Stop by, treat yourselves and support locally owned independent family businesses (so important).

Lovely ploughman's lunch. Fairly good prices.

Absolutely horrendous service forgot half the order and then rude when had to bring it over useless!!!!

Great little tea room and shop. Friendly staff and great food. Plenty of gluten free options too!

Yummy food. Dog friendly. Lovely staff. Call in for a rest. R x

We loved The Cheese Cottage! Run by Coral (who bakes the most amazing scones!) and her family, it’s the perfect tea room. We so enjoyed our ‘elevenses’ that we skipped lunch anywhere else and returned for the most scrumptious high tea. All beautifully presented on classic blue and white china, and at prices that are more than fair! Thank you Cheese Cottage, we’ll be back!

Lovely service and the best Brie, cranberry and bacon baguette I’ve ever had!

Fantastic. Cannot recommend highly enough! We visit half a dozen times a year and never been let down or disappointed. Bacon sandwiches a must!

Great service. Wonderful food. Lovely decor. Toasted sandwiches and baguette were excellent.

After a walk up and down Jacob's Ladder we came here for a delicious lunch. It was £12 for a sandwich, scone, crops and a hot drink which was exactly what I was looking for. The sandwich had cheddar in it and the scone was fresh and still warm so I was very happy. The staff were also friendly and we had a nice seat by the window which suited our two young kids perfectly. I would recommend this as a reward after a walk around the gorge.

Nettes kleines Café. Wir sind hier zum Frühstück eingekehrt. Nette und freundliche Bedienung und angemessene Preise.

Been here twice now and they have to the best sandwich I have every had Ham cheese salad on granary bread. The staff are very helpful and the cost of food is very reasonable. The display of cakes look lovely too. We truly recommend eating there. We have eaten in and taken away and the quality has been the same

Great tasting and presented food. Hot drinks were hot and very nice 👌 recommended.

Came here with the family today had a really lovely Somerset ham and real ale chutney torpedo absolutely beautiful, very friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere

Great food, just what I needed after a walk round the gorge, prices where very reasonable too.

Lovely food. Nice staff and atmosphere.

Lovely coffee and cake as usual.

Excellent shop and café in Cheddar gorge. Tasty food and brilliant service !

Lovely little cafe and shop. Staff are friendly and is in a picture perfect location

Went to the area for the first time yesterday and visited here for a snack..beautiful well presented food and delicious coffee..very nice staff and the cheese on the toastie was so tasty I ended up asking if they sold it in the shop..as luck would have it they did and I purchased some for home

Come here. Service was great and friendly, tea, coffee, pasties and chocolate brownie were all fantastic! We will make sure to visit here every time we come to Cheddar in the future!

Delicious food, and really lovely staff. Ended up coming back a few times while we stayed nearby -plenty of other places, sure they are lovely, but this one hit the spot! Coffee is delicous - locally roasted Monkey Rock, even bought a bag to take home :) highly recommend

Very friendly cafe with excellent sandwiches and coffee

Beautiful food and excellent service. Best of all they serve proper tea from a teapot with cups and saucers. A shame I can’t give 6 stars!

Ended up going here twice while in the area. Food was fresh, tasty, well presented and great value for money. We also had some cakes to takeaway which were amazing! Has a little shop attached with various items perfect for souvenir/gifts Staff were friendly and helpful, I'd definitely go back if I visit Cheddar again!

Fab pasties serviced with a smile....perfect

Extremely rude staff. Parked in staff space by accident. A woman came over really passive aggressive told me ‘some of us have businesses to run’ got back in my car went somewhere else. Little tip, if you’re so worried about your business running, you might want to pay attention to how you speak to your customers instead of parking. Don’t go here.

Beautiful tearoom and wonderful staff (served by Coral and Jake) 😊 if I could give more stars, I would.

Very welcoming and a great hot chocolate.

Came here today for a cream tea and the place was lovely. However, the younger lad (I can only assume was the older couples son) was very rude, not only to me, but to other customers as well. One customer came back up and asked for some milk because he received his coffee black, and the young man replied back ‘yeah but you asked for it black’. No need for that sarcastic comment. He was rude when I accidentally came though the one way, even when I was apologetic. Then basically threw the menu on our table along with a pen, then stormed off huffing. Very weird. Mustn’t want to be part of the family business

Lovely little café, really delicious coffee and homemade cakes. Decor is really well thought out, you can also buy cheese, fudge and a variety of gifts at very reasonable prices

So many eateries in Cheddar but I finally opted for this delightful little café in its lovely setting behind a fast flowing stream. It was a good choice. It really does have the feel of a cosy cottage inside, with rustic wooden furniture. The lady who served me was so friendly and welcoming. Menu choices limited because of covid restrictions but there was still a tempting selection of sandwiches, toasties, ploughman's lunch and cakes. Ordered a Cheddar cheese, salad and chutney sandwich and a pot of tea. Service was quick and the tea came with a traditional china tea set. The sandwich was generously filled and very satisfying. There's also a little shop selling local cider and ale, fudge, honey, preserves, cheeses and some nice original gifts. Would certainly recommend this café for an enjoyable lunch!

Lovely place with very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely come back.

We've visited the tearooms several times and always have a wonderful experience. The decor is lovely and there is always a great atmosphere. The food is delicious (I love the bacon, brie and cranberry toastie!) and the homemade cakes are amazing. We will definitely be going back!

Great food and atmosphere, as well as very friendly staff.

Another lovely walk up the Gorge today ending up at The Cheese Cottage Cafe. As always, a wonderful welcome, delicious cake with my latte and time to admire the retro decor. A great addition to Cheddar Gorge.

We have visited The Cheese Cottage twice and can heartily recommend it. Delicious food and drink, amazing decor and friendly service - what’s not to like! We will be back.

Lovely food and not ridiculously overpriced like some places can be in tourist spots. Décor is lovely and was a lovely place to spend an hour.

This lovely little tearoom is clearly a 'labour of love' for the family who run it. So much thought and hard work has gone into creating a light, quirky and beautiful space. Add to that the range of quality local food on the menu and in the shop together with the location right in the heart of Cheddar Gorge and you have a cafe that all visitors should make a beeline for. Come away with a bag of fudge for later too - it is absolutely delicious!

We popped in to buy some cheese and a bottle of beer. We decided to stay for lunch. Jake served us. He was very rude sarcastic unhelpful and "forgot" to order my partners sandwich. We ended up leaving. Jake needs some extra customer service training or maybe just let him clear the tables for now. If I could give you a zero star I would. Horrible experience.

Went here today , tables were left dirty while we sat there, very slow service and had cutlery thrown at us by a very surly man and had to keep reminding them about our drink order Will never set foot there again

Best toasted cheese sandwich I’ve come across and I didn’t get a look in at the sausage rolls as the kids devoured them in seconds. Fantastic little shop attached and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.
