La Rocca Restaurant in Sedgemoor

Came for a family meal during our time staying in cheddar. Amazing food, friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for you, great atmosphere would come back in a heartbeat 👌

Fantastic home made Italian food Service was brilliant l have eaten all over the world and in top restaurants and can definitely recommend La Rocca You even get a great view of mountain goats and crystal clean flowing river Worth going thank you for a lovely lunch

Rude staff. Insisting on moving our family away to a corner location because it was ‘busy’… we were the only customers sitting outside.

Amazing food, as always, and really lovely staff. I love coming here. The only slight negative is the amount of time between presenting the bill and returning for the payment; we had to ask to pay in the end. That was minor in the grand scheme of things and we'll definitely return.

Best banoffee in the uk (par my mums who has the original recipe from the inventor in sussex). Tastes like this hence why I like it!

Wow! Delicious food! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Very clean and well presented.

The place is amazing. I love the food. Pizzas are the best. Staff is very friendly and approachable. I love the retro vibe. Old classic Italian music goes well with the food. Having a great time! Thank you :)

Food was excellent with a good range of choice The place is decorated with excellent taste Not cheap but the level of food was brilliant Service was fast and efficient Brilliant

Best pizza and pasta in somerset

Really enjoyable two visits here in one week whilst we were on holiday. Fantastic service, food and atmosphere. They were great with our 3 year old, who took a particular liking to one waitress who was very sweet with him 😊 He also appreciated what he called the "rabbit ears" as part of his decorated pizza base. I wish we had an Italian place like this where we live!

I go whenever I am in the area, lovely food and freindly place. Try the calzone!

Super Food. Lovely place and staff are spot on.

Had a really lovely evening. I didn't realise its sister is restaurant, the Winford Arms, have to say the Cheddar restaurant was much better.

What a great place! We loved everything about La Rocca. We had a lovely warm welcome, our waitress was so friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was sooo tasty, fresh and delicious. We had a great night, would highly recommend this place!

Excellent food and great service. Would definitely recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal yesterday, the staff were pleasant and helpful would recommend this to anyone who wants a good meal.

Amazing food and good atmosphere. The place is located next to a small pond which makes it even more attractive. The food was top notch and the prices are accessible. Definitely recommend

While I was there, unfortunately, I had drinks only and didn't try their food, but the time I was there to drink my cider and my family drinking other beverages, I was quite happy, and I can inform you that the staff was on point. They knew what they were doing and did a great job to make us feel welcome despite us only having drinks. Also, the restaurant itself is gorgeous, such great vibes inside, and it looks amazing with unique accessories inside the building that just completed the atmosphere of the place. Next time when I come around, I will surely try their food. As of now, it is definitely a place to try. #foodie #drinks #greatatmosphere #goodvibes

A wonderful time celebrating a family birthday. Food, service and setting outstanding, a wonderful and friendly welcome on our first visit. The attention to food quality, presentation and portions was of an exceptional standard. Would recommend and already planning to return.

Harmonious place, good food, unsurpassed attention from all the staff. Luxury atmosphere

Absolutely first class food, atmosphere and anything you want to add. Staff are amazing and do everything possible to accomadate you. Cannot rate highly enough

Myself and my Wife have been here several times now for anniversaries etc and the recent visit we bought our daughter along for my wife's 40th! The food has and continues to be top quality and perfect portion sizes! The atmosphere is great, low lighting, Italian music playing and although usually always packed, still spaced out enough to hold a conversation without hearing everyone else around. Staff have always been great, and very little wait times for food. Highly recommend booking as it's always busy.... For a very good reason!

The best thing Here is the staff and the service, They seem Genuinely Friendly rather than Forced to be. 2nd Is the Atmosphere, Very Nice, chill, Calm, Rustic but Morden at the Same Time. 3rd Id say is food. Nothing Wrong, but the other Two are just better. Food is good, you won't make a Wrong Decision going there. BUT, I'd say the Prices are a Bit way too much personally. £18 for a pizza! I know it's next To Cheddar Gorge but Location and Taste Don't Justify it. But if you're there definitely Go there, Waaaayyyyy better Option than the Kebab shop!

Absolutely fab service we had a great time. The stuff made us very welcome and will go back next time we go

I popped in on the off chance, no table booked. But, was seated straight away and my order taken in good time. I very much enjoyed my Linguine Pescatore along with a lively pilot blush. My waitress was lovely and you could tell she enjoyed her job. Wouldn't hesitate to come back again when in the area.

I had the Saltimbocca Alla Romana. It was one of the nicest meals I have ever eaten. The service was impeccable

Great experience, great atmosphere and delicious food.

It was the 2nd time we came back La Rocca Bar & Restaurant and had our lunch here as we celebrated with my husband’s birthday. The starters Gamberoni and Capesante - both superb, presentable and amazingly delicious!!! Then we decided to have our main lunch there - my birthday husband had Fillet Steak and myself had Linguine La Rocca - again both smashing and amazingly delicious!!! The service crew are friendly and we never had a chance to know her name this female staff who is always very accommodating with her vibrant beautiful smile. The positivity atmosphere, friendliness of the staff and the location of the restaurant are all two thumbs up 👍👍 . Next year we will definitely come back to Cheddar Gorge and we will come back here. Highly recommended and very worth to try their dishes!!! Bravo to the chef - MAGNIFICO!!! 😍🩷❤️🧡😊 - Glenda and Philip

Myself and my Partner had trouble booking online today , Went in and the manager managed to squeeze us in , Our service was excellent thank you for making our holiday even more special will definitely be recommending to our family and friends

Lovely food and very good staff.

Great place to eat and chill! Really tasty food, great service, friendly and approachable staff! Highly recommend! 5 stars!

Food and service were absolutely bang on!! All the staff were polite and friendly and our waitress made time to stay for a chat. Calzone was delicious and full of flavour. Will definitely return!😊

We were visiting Cheddar and came across this gem. Enjoyed it so much - we were back next day for lunch! Highly recommend. Will definitely be back.

Overall the food was lovely but we had a slightly longer wait for our mains than we would liked but in general a nice experience

Great decor but felt the food didn’t match. Some pieces of calamari were so chewy it was impossible to eat them, our bruschetta hadn’t been toasted so bread was soggy, and pizzas quite doughy almost like the oven wasn’t hot enough. Good quality toppings though. Good cocktails and wine list.

Booked a table on the website, saying we have a dog,looked on reviews it said dog friendly, on arrival only to see that dogs are not allowed inside, was told we could seat outside, this was not a option, it would be better to say no Dogs on your website. We didn't eat here found another place which allowed dogs.

We use this restaurant whenever we go to cheddar, the atmosphere is lovely and this time was our anniversary which they made a little special so a big thank you .

This is a wonderful authentic restaurant. The food portions are large and the food is amazing. Freshly cooked by some great chefs and served by fabulous waitresses. Lovely atmosphere with friendly locals.

Absolutely amazing food and drink. Great staff. Lovely atmosphere. Perfect all round.👌🏻

Love this place. Stopped in for a quick lunch and we were well looked after. Food is delicious. Carbonara and a caeser salad. Both 10/10

I love this place - good quality pizza and a decent range other food at reasonable prices. The staff are great too. Would recommend booking, especially on a Friday or Saturday

Nice place in a lovely setting. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was good and extremely hot. Slight criticism....... addition of a small side salad or a slice of garlic bread with the lasagne would have been nice

We visit cheddar about 6 or 8 times a year, this place is always at the top of our must do list, trouble is it .becomes regular

You have to sit outside next to the river

Another great meal, Thanks to Gina who always ensures great service

The food was delicious. We had delicious mushrooms on toasted bread followed by spaghetti carbonara & Linguine pescatore mains. The waiting team work incredibly well together. Reflecting on our evening .. we were seamlessly looked after by 3 different (all lovely) waitresses, and our drinks were delivered by the bar tender.

Visited on a very busy Sunday and had a tasty and filling lunch. I enjoyed the gnocchi, and my husband liked the lasagne and the garlic bread. My tomato salad was plentiful and the cheesecake was good, too. Would definitely return when next in the area.

We stayed in Cheddar as a stop-over on the way down south. Dinner at La Rocca was very enjoyable, the restaurant has a great setting, comfortable and busy. Food was of a high standard and we were all very pleased with our meals.

We were staying in a hotel in the area and booked here after a search on the internet. We went as a family and were very pleased. Nice and clean, lovely setting, staff and service to a good level. Food was very good, so much so we went the following day for dinner also! Very much recommend. I recommend to book as it does get busy.

Stopped for lunch yesterday and it was lovely, as was the service. Thank you

Turned away for being too busy even though half the tables are empty and other people are waiting to order who have just arrived... Update, I walked past an hour later after I had ate elsewhere and there was still tables available... By your reply you are just an arrogant twàãt and all I got shown was a finger crossing left to right saying no! Also what type of restaurant does not take in walk in customers, on a note reading your other reviews we had a lucky escape

If I can give 0 stars I work but obviously I need to give them one because if I don't then I can't make my comment the member of staff that served us was very rude we stay in cheddar most of the time when we got a holiday we won't be eating in there ever again not worth the money and not worth the aggro I know that you got a book in advance and that's great the on the several occasions that we've been going there we've been turned away several occasions just the way they speak to you I want occasion we went there and we were told to wait for a table and clearly the tables were vacant but there wasn't anybody sit in there there was no reserved on the table 2 hours

Second visit amazing food and service everyone was happy with what they ordered hope to return soon

Tasty Italian food and lovely service. The staff were so attentive and sweet.

Lovely italian restaurant in the middle of Cheddar. Great food and lovely service. Only two bug bears, the restaurant was a little on the pricey side and the boy racers driving up and down the gorge were a pain in the ears. Admittedly we were sitting outside...

I had coffee and some snacks and they were amazing and tasty, mainly I took crispy calamari and house Fry's

Visited Cheddar gorge. Didn't fancy any of the little teashops so we went to this restaurant. We were met by two of the friendliest young girls. I am vegan and they went over and above to ensure that my food didn't lack any taste ,substituting ingredients before the order was handed to the chef. My husband and I ordered the calzone. When they came they were the size of a folded tray with an accompanying side salad with a delicious dressing. Both were packed with fresh ,tasty ingredients. Mine vegan,my husband's meat. The ambience, service and food could not be faulted. It's only a shame it is over 4 1/2 hours drive from where we live.

This spot is amazing for family’s! We had a calzone and the spaghetti carbonara and it was phenomenal. We also had garlic bread and parmesan and the garlic mushrooms and they were outstanding! The employees went above and beyond to give us the best experience as possible. They are extremely welcoming. I would definitely recommend!

Lovely setting, very dog friendly, good service, and delicious food. Thank you xx

Amazing authentic italian food. Ordered the goat cheese salad, very fresh cheese. The pasta was tasty too.

Everything was perfect. Good food, good music and nice people.

The cannelloni was amazing, quick service. Great experience

Had a really lovely meal. Waitress wasn't the friendliest, but the food made up for it.

Had a steak here was ok but bit over priced as no mushrooms tomato expected bit more for the £30 meal

Best Italian food I have ever had, would 100% recommend

Food was faultless. Service was faultless. Our waitress couldn't do enough for us, even went over the road to get ketchup for our 5yr old daughter as they had run out. The waitress was also very polite and always smiling. Genuinely a really good experience.

Food was delicious and couldn’t be faulted. Service was outstanding, the waitress couldn’t do enough for us. Will be back.

We had a recent meal for two when at Cheddar for the evening. The soup was tasty with fresh tomatoe flavours and it seemed well balanced. A burnt garlic pizza bread was sent to the table and promptly sent back to the kitchen for a replacement. Why let it leave the kitchen like that in the first place ? My main of chicken and potatoes was very average as the sauce tasted like it lacked seasoning. My partner had a risotto and suggested she could make it better at home. Soft drink prices are very expensive but the view outside and indoors are rather pretty. Unlikely to return for the future or to recommend.

Well another year another meal at La Rocca Cheddar. Staff and the food was again fantastic only problem it’s another weeks gym work to work off the food. Highly recommend this restaurant and its staff. We come to Cheddar every year and this is our go to restaurant, thanks again to the team at La Rocca see you soon.

Lovely resturant right near the caves. Absolutely beautiful mussels. The tomato sauce that the mussels were in was so tasty. Sat outside by the lovely babbling brook Professional friendly staff Reasonably priced too.

Outstandingly good food. Every dish we tried was excellent. We have been twice and will be going back many more times. I thought Cheddar would be all chips and low quality takeaways: I was so wrong. Sure there is standard chips etc around but the food here was superb and portions large.

We had an outstanding meal at La Rocca, the food was amazing, the staff were so friendly and helpful, all round wonderful experience and well recommended. We will definitely be making a reservation when we return on holiday.

Every visit is a pleasure and food terrific. Any people we take always enjoy their evenings.

We have been here in October last year and had no complaints, it was lovely. However we came back today and the food was not satisfactory. Steak was dry, risotto was bland and the muscles were so fishy and rubbery that my partner was sick twice whilst here. When we raised the concern to the manager, he told us muscles aren’t in season, which is fair enough but they still shouldn’t make a person sick. He didn’t have the best attitude towards our complaint, basically just took the service charge off of our bill. The waitress however were very lovely.

Great food brilliant service 5*+

I had the best carbonara I have ever tasted!!! My partner and stepson both enjoyed their dishes.

Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff at La Rocca in Cheddar. What a perfect end to a lovely day for my mums birthday! And that ‘Happy Birthday’ was such a lovely gesture and that fact that I didn’t even need to ask! Thank you so much for a lovely evening, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone celebrating a special occasion or just for a lovely evening out!

Food was lovely, big portions at a great price. We got lucky getting a table walking in around 5pm on a Friday so I'd definitely recommend booking in advance

Really lovely restaurant and excellent food. They were fully booked on the night we went and there was 13 of us. Service was excellent, very professional and friendly. Wonderful choice of food on the menu. All the food was fresh, well cooked and presented on hot plates. Sadly, had no room left for deserts, but hopefully, next time. The premises were well decorated, clean and had a lovely friendly atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning next time I visit my relatives.

First time eating here and it didn't disappoint. Service was excellent, very clean and well kept. Food was reasonable, hot and very nice. Authentic Italian cuisine. Would recommend 👌

Quick flexible service with a smile. We turned up early and they accommodated us, served great food fast.

An absolute treat! Had chicken with mushrooms etc in a lovely tomato sauce and SeaBass with Mediterranean veg - perfectly cooked and presented. For dessert - Panna Cotta and Tiramisu - really nice. Had a bottle of Montepulciano D'Abruzza - excellent. Finished with double espressos and Limoncellos. A real treat! Service excellent. Food perfect. Ambience busy and vibrant. What a way to finish our holiday in Cheddar - just wish we lived nearer to this wonderful place wirh hard working staff.

No staff, poor service, and people were being turned in a very rude manor for not having a booking but clearly the pace was half empty.

Fantastic meal at La Rocca the pizza and linguine were just perfect. The calamari was just a little chewy,but the flavor was spot on. Cocktails were fantastic 👌🏼

This restaurant is absolutely wonderful, food delicious, great wine and Sonia the waitress is so hard working very helpful and friendly we will definitely be back x

We liked the dessert better (tiramisu thumbs up), risotto were average, would not recommend the linguine and sirloin steak.. some food options may not be worth the price. Anasta arrosto was good would recommend. Service was good, polite and very helpful. Ambience is good, cosy.

Thanks for squeezing us in, lovely food, great staff and a lively atmosphere 😀 see you soon ❤️ x

We ate outside, and it was fabulous. Bathrooms were in need of both an update and service. Pizza was solid. We, four of us, would return for sure

We went to La Rocca yesterday for lunch whilst visiting Cheddar, had a Pizza and some salad, Pizza was fine, salad was VERY salty! Worse was the aggresive nature of one of the staff. We had paid when we ordered the food, had the food then left to walk through Cheddar. On our way back past La Rocca we were accosted by one of the staff demanding payment for the meal. I explained we had paid when we ordered it, only to be told, "No we hadn't!" When I told her which member of staff we had paid, she initally claimed she had left for the day, then she rang her up and was told by her colleague we HAD paid! She offered a weak apology and some free coffee which we declined. I told her, that before accusing anyone of stealing, she needed to check her facts ( i.e. speak to the person who took our order and we paid!), then there would be no need for this poor review

Great food,same as you have been eating in Italy 🇮🇹 Very good service

The atmosphere was lovely and the food simply stunning

Fantastic restaurant. Authentic Italian food, cooked well. Staff attentive, but not overly so. Great atmosphere. Despite being busy, food arrived quickly. Wish we had a restaurant like this where I live.

Absolutely gorgeous restaurant. Staff were very helpful and welcoming. The food is hot and fresh. Tastes nice. The atmosphere is absolutely cozy and warm. The decorations are nice although the chairs are slightly on the hard side. My family loved the place and their pizza is one of the best.

Went with family and the service and food was excellent

We’ve eaten here during both visits to the area and the food is always lovely! The service is great too highly recommended.

Had another fabulous meal, visit every time we are here on holiday 😋

Absolutely superb pizza. A gorgeous location with great staff. Fully recommend.

Excellent service and had a massive calzone which was perfect after a day of walking. Reasonably priced and seems to be one of the only places open on Mondays

Lovely place, great food and fabulous wine.
