To ask for some urgent cheddar advice

[Willow4987]

We’re about an hour away from cheddar gorge and Not sure where to stop for lunch

I’ve got an energetic 2 year old who needs lunch but also maybe somewhere with a garden and grass?

A lot of places on trip advisor just have stone wall terraces

Yes, YABU. That's not what this board is for.

I was hoping this would be about the cheese.

Me too and I was looking forward to a thread about a cheese emergency. Sometimes MN can really let you down. See also BJ in Italy!

Don’t live anywhere near so no answer to your actual question. I can recommend tickler as a good strong cheddar.

I can't tell you where to eat, but I just drove through there about two hours ago and it was very, very misty on low ground.

Wensleydale and Lancashire are both far nicer

Cheddar is always ready to give advice!

I was just relieved this wasn't about the cat being in trouble! 😀

Really?

Wensleydale tastes of wet chalk. Lancashire's okay with Christmas cake.

Always good to buy organic dairy

I haven’t been for about 5 years, so things could have changed, but the Rodney Stoke Inn used to have good food and had a terrace, a grassy garden and a play area. It’s about 3 miles from Cheddar.

Everywhere there has stone wall terraces and nowhere to run for little ones, at Cheddar. Wells might be a better bet, grab some picnic stuff at Wells Waitrose and head to the Cathedral grounds.

Try Godminster mature cheddar or smoked cheddar they might change your mind.

I too wanted the details of a cheese emergency

Are you heading to the caves?
Because they are closed.

Red Leicester is nicer and I love a crumbly Wensleydale

Cheddar gorge was read wholly wrong by me who is not from the UK nor ever lived there. I had to read the OP three times before I realised that the cheddar gorge is a PLACE not an immensely enjoyable activity.

Me too!

Only came on here for the urgent cheese advice.

The Riverside pub in Cheddar has a garden and play area.

Well if you want some sensible suggestions, you could at least say what direction you're coming from.

Now I'm wondering if this is a euphanism or just eating lots of cheese, but I'm sure that it is the latter, there will be a tea room in the vicinity that offers you the 'gorge on Cheddar near Cheddar Gorge' platter. They might even have some grass for the OPs 2 YO to run around on.

This made me laugh out loud because it is exactly how I feel, especially re BJ in Italy.
