What a beautiful place, with so much charm and history. We had a glorious afternoon tea, with a special diet accounted for. The lovely waitress was a volunteer, and her kindness to detail and attentiveness was second to none. Faultless. Will definitely go again.

Food was excellent, nicely served, promptly provided, asked at least 3 times if we would like more tea. Staff helpful and attentive, asking if we needed anything extra, explaining each of the dishes provided. The small room has a good atmosphere with mid 20century music playing. The tables were not too close together but if anyone loud had been attending they would have been heard by everyone. For the money it was excellent value compared to other venues in the locality.

Visited yesterday and I have to say I was disappointed, less and less effort is going into the food each time we visit. An afternoon tea should have a selection of cakes plus scone 1 chocolate cake and 1 very small macaroon is not a good selection of cakes . The pot of lemon Posset and chocolate moose is a poor and lazy substitute for fancy cakes . The sandwiches again are underwhelming. Sorry I won’t be back

Absolutely delicious afternoon tea. We went on a Sunday afternoon which I believe is slightly different to the other days as there were small yorkshire puddings which filled with a couple of different fillings. There was hot soup and a quiche, with sandwiches, cakes and trifles along with lemon posset. Then they came along with hot scones, jam and clotted cream. I am sure there are probably other items that I have not mentioned as there was just so much. My husband and I went with my mum and between the three of us managed to eat everything . As it was Easter Sunday there was a lovely touch with a cream egg in our tea cups when we arrived.

We had a wonderful afternoon at Lilibet’s Afternoon Tea Emporium.  Four of us shared the afternoon tea in the beautiful Lytham Hall, the setting was absolutely perfect. The food was excellent and served on such pretty china plates, which made the whole experience feel extra special. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and there was such a lovely, relaxed ambiance throughout the venue. It was also very reasonably priced for the quality and experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a charming place for afternoon tea — we’ll definitely be back!

The Sunday Afternoon Tea option was amazing! The room was stunning; staff attentive and friendly; and we did not feel rushed. We were informed from the start that they would box up anything we wanted to take home…..n, yes, we had to ask for the scones to be boxed up to take home. A walk round the grounds afterwards was the perfect compliment. Thoroughly enjoyable experience and we will definitely be back.

Lovely room with traditional decor. The grounds are stunning for a walk and the garden/animals were a nice little extension to our afternoon. The food and service were exceptional, and for the price, made this exceptional value for money. A treat we will come back for again.
