We went for afternoon tea and it was just lovely! The sandwiches were so fresh and tasty, the cakes delicious and the scones- warm and just baked! Thank you for a lovely experience. The staff were so nice and attentive. We chatted about the history of the hall too. Nothing was too much trouble, plenty of coffee topped up in our China teacups!

Lovely Sunday Afternoon Tea in a lovely setting. We come every year for the tour and the Afternoon Tea, it's now part of our Christmas tradition.

We did enjoy the afternoon tea and the ladies serving were great. The soup was particularly delicious! However, because I hadn’t checked where Lillibets was beforehand (completely my fault), we were a few minutes late. When we entered the main door, we saw the sign for Lillibets so passed the queue for the tour as we were obviously hurrying. The woman behind the desk spoke to us like children in the most rude manner in front of everyone - I presume because she thought we were jumping the queue or trying to enter for free? Her shouting was both shocking and embarrassing. Later when my son asked where the toilet was, he was met with the same rude tone. This was not what I would expect from Lytham Hall who otherwise has fantasticly friendly and helpful staff and volunteers. Maybe this lady and her awful manner should volunteer elsewhere on the site where a good standard of customer service skills are not required.

We had the Christmas afternoon tea which was absolutely delicious. Cakes were really light and mince pies were equally lovely. A surprise was the raspberry desert again delicious. The service was wonderful. Very friendly and efficient
