We are on holiday. The owner of our cottage recommended this place.Very very good. I can't fault this place. All the staff are really good....polite and efficient. They are obviously well trained. We had the mackerel pate, beef, prawn and chorizo cassaulett and lemon brioche bread and butter pudding. All excellent. It has a very good menu. Good value for money.Thank you to the staff and chef.

service accompanies unremarkable food, although the ploughmanâs platter was a step above other dishes. If you have no time constraints and only need to keep the hangries at bay, it will suffice but donât expect more. Perhaps they were suffering from end of season fatigue.

Just had a lovely cream tea with warm scones and chocolate cake. All delicious and the staff are welcoming and friendly. My daughter forgot her jacket and a lovely staff member came rushing out in the rain after us to return it. There was lots of lovely food on the menu and there are lovely things to buy too. If you are in the area you would be crazy to miss this great place.

We came here as a family for a birthday meal. Booking was easy and there is plenty of free parking in a car park. Having recently changed owners, the new landlady is lovely and very very helpful and accommodating - thank you! Our starters arrived promptly, were freshly cooked and very very reasonable portions. The mussels starters were especially good and came in a delicious sauce. The goats cheese was also worth a try! We had scampi, mushroom stroganoff, seafood casserole and 10oz gamon steaks as our mains. All were large in portion and freshly cooked using ingredients sourced locally. The alcohol was also reasonably priced and there was a really large choice of ales and gins. We had one of the best birthday dinners and will definitely be back to this pub again. The best in Cheddar! Thank you all so much . Was lovley to read you enjoyed your meal with us .Hope to see you soon Regards Linda x

My girlfriend and I visited here for lunch today. I had a Nutella got chocolate which was amazing and my girlfriend had a toffee apple hot chocolate. This was lovely too.I opted for a ploughmanâs with ham and my girlfriend chose chilli with chips and cheese. Wow what flavoursome meals we got. My ploughmanâs had a blue cheese, cave aged and smoked cheddars with hot bread roll, salad, pickles and coleslaw. See the photos for yourself! Very highly recommended.

Visited before a hike around the gorge. Great location, nicely decorated interior, friendly staff and tasty food.Chilli squid was yummy but could have been a little crispier. Onion rings were the crispiest Iâve ever had!Would definitely come back if I was in the area again.

Visited around 1pm for cream tea and cake. It was busy and we got a table quick by pure chance. The food itself was nice enough, a nice cream tea and no complaints but the place does not help itself in the way it deals with its table service. While there we saw 3 tables reserved but they must have turned around ten people away. When one asked when a table would be available they said they were not sure and did not give any further information. A poor way to run the business and it must lose money daily if its run like this. Stop reserving tables, its not a high end restaurant. Young staff trying to do a decent job but not helped by those above making the decisions. And there are plenty other cafes in the village who will gain from Edelweiss turning people away.Hello there,I'm sorry, I don't think I really understand your review. Your personal experience was good by the sounds of things, because as you say, ''It was busy and we got a table quick by pure chance... a nice cream tea... no complaints...'' - But you give two stars and and title beginning with ''Let down..'' - when you were not let down in any way? Your rather overbearing spouting about a business choosing to take table reservations and so therefore in your opinion it has ''a strange style of service'' is the only strange thing here.Having run Edelweiss for 17 years, working an average of 70 hours per week, I think we are the only ones who really have the information to decide whether we are losing money from reserving tables. Not, with all due respect, by someone who arrives at his decision whilst eating a Cream Tea, during a singular 20 minute or so snippet of Edelweiss life. It is true that when you only have 50 seats, reserving tables does lose some customers, but more to the point, we don't allow all of our tables to be reserved and only allot a certain amount of tables that customers can book. We do this to keep a large regular customer base who would not otherwise gamble the certainty of a table after travelling. We look after our customers well, and for our particular business, we know we would lose a big proportion of our customers who keep our numbers strong when the tourists stop flocking to Cheddar in such numbers during the quieter season. You, in fact, were able to get a table BECAUSE we don't allow all the tables to be reserved.Regarding a prospective customer asking one of our young staff members when a table would be available, if she didn't ask a superior team member it is very likely that we were too busy to give more information, being that it was the peak time of 1 o'clock in the summer holidays. It's quite difficult to take time with prospective customers wanting a table when you're full, as too can judging how long customers are going to be and whether they might go on to have desserts, coffee or chat for a while after finishing etc.Thank you however for your positive comment about our young staff doing a decent job. Our happy team both young and older do do a very decent job yes, but on the contrary to your judgement, they are very much supported by us.There are plenty of other eateries in the village, yes, and just as we turn people away when we are too busy, they do too; it's life in catering and we Cheddar businesses know how it rolls. There's little to be gained by jumping to conclusions or basing opinions on little or no information, and it would've been nice if you could have reviewed us regarding your own good personal experience, rather than down-rating us for a non existent issue that didn't affect you.

We had an amazing day in Cheddar and just wanted to have tea before we head home. .. and there we found this gem. As it was late and time was not enough we ordered chips and tea. The chef gave us some falafel to try. Oh my goodness, they were the best Falafel we ever ate. They are absolutely Falafel you can't get anywhere else. They are crispy and the taste is full of flavour complete in harmony. We had a nice chat with the friendly chef and learned that they do cater for Vegans as well. We know now that we have found our cafe in Cheddar.
