We had a fantastic time, eating delicious food in a beautiful setting. The service was impeccable, warm and very welcoming. It was great value for money and a fantastic way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I would highly recommend.

As always it was perfect. The ladies who cared for us were delightful and looked after us really well. I'd had a nasty fall four days before. Everyone was so helpful. So happy we didn't cancel after falling. I discoverer that everyone wants to help an old lady with a stick.

I am really sorry to say that the quality of food was bland and unappetizing. Also two tiny sandwiches per person. Mini pies and quiches were bland. Soup was Luke warm and the cakes were dry. Normally there is a nice selection of cakes with afternoon teas but all in all a very tasteless experience. Having said that, Bridget our waitress was wonderful and pleasent, couldn’t do enough for us. I am unhappy to say that I would not return for another afternoon tea. My apologies for my review

Very disappointing -booked for a special half term treat for my daughter a hardworking teacher and a birthday treat for my grandaughters 7th birthday. Booked over the phone as a child was included , but the booking was not recorded correctly -the Prosecco didn’t arrive and we were served 4 adult afternoon teas - the staff said they would ask the chef if he could provide children’s sandwiches which he did but we had to wait and they were just brought out on a regular plate , no children’s cakes were brought out and my grandaughter did not eat any of the adult cakes as these were not suitable for a child’s taste - overall not the occasion we expected or promised my grandaughter. The staff in the dining room were lovely and apologetic, we are local and regular visitors to the hall but on this occasion very disappointed

Booked without knowing what to expect, very happy that we did. Great attentive service, fabulous food especially the sweet selection, too much for one meal, so took a couple I'd items home. Bottomless good quality hot drinks. The venue couldn't be faulted, interesting and historic stately home which we were able to purr round at our leisure both before and after our tea for a reduced cost. We had a window seat in the atmospheric dining room overlooking the stunning grounds. What more to ask at a very affordable price. We will return when back in the area.

Lytham Hall...... a lovely venue. In 1980 my then mother-in-law had her M ayoress at home I remember it well with affection Lovely staff attentive and caring, we had the silver afternoon tea without the tea / coffee we enjoyed a bottle of wine instead , very nice and not overpriced. Plenty to eat and full of flavour. May I suggest the fillings could be a little more in quantity, that would be my only criticism, Cava would be an alternative to Processco Loved the experience, and hope to see you again in the future. Hopefully see you before my 72nd birthday. Best wishes Anne x

Lovely room. We had silver afternoon tea. Sandwiches although nice the bread was bit dry and lacked much filling. Soup was only just warm enough but nice Scone was lovely. Cakes were ok but not for me, maybe a choice after all your paying alot for this. Tables a little close together.
