Lytham Hall in Fylde

Afternoon tea at Lytham Hall was excellent. After a tour of the hall where Denise gave us lots of interesting facts about the Clifton family we went for afternoon tea. What a great experience. Simon was the perfect host with Angela attending on us very diligently. Food was fabulous, surroundings were refined and experience was excellent. Thanks for giving us an exceptional experience.

Can't rate this place as a restaurant, it is a cafe at best. The food is very average and staff are not very happy. It is a shame that the cafe is not better. If it was in the centre of Lytham.it would not survive.

Wow! What a brilliant meal we had today. Two of us had vegan chcken burger, I had vegan cottage pie. The food was awesome, soooooo good! Really fantastic value, everything about it was superb. And they had jack rabbit vegan wine which was the icing on the cake! All this in such a beautiful setting.... lovely. And a huge shout out to the team looking after us today. Exceptional customer service, we simply could not have been better catered for. Nothing was too much trouble. And so friendly and welcoming too. Thank you Linda, Clare, Mia, Abbey & Adam - you have this 'customer care' thing absolutely nailed. Highly recommended 👌

Was disappointed that tables are not cleaned and staff do not carry out this task every time a table is cleared. Both our table and the one next to it contained crumbs but no effort to clean them. Food very dated and probably suits an elderly demographic. Had hot beef and onion which was served on a white barm cake. Had many better elsewhere and very basic. Not asked if any sauces could be provided and very 1990’s. Would have been better if slightly toasted and some gravy added with better quality bread used. All in all very average and not a venue I would return to as not very hygienic and this is a minimum standard that I look for.

12.11.23 Interesting old hall plus lovely grounds but the cafe is disappointing.Today it was like Crufts with some dogs barking,sitting on the chairs,sniffing around ,some not on leads.One couple nearby had three large damp,smelly dogs.,heads on the table.Not ideal if you are having a meal, plus there are hygiene issues. I accept that if you love dogs/have a dog it might suit. Its not for us . Note that we were in the cafe ,not the main hall (not sure of the dogs policy in there).

I have been to the cafe here a few times now, both before and after social distance measures. The really great thing about having a tea break here is that it is perfectly possible to do this in a safe socially distanced way. The cafe has a delightful courtyard with tables under cover, whilst also being outside. It is sheltered, too.The crockery is attractive vintage, which is in keeping with the character of the place. Food is ok and thee cafe has done the half price eat in Covid offer. Vegan cakes and biscuits are scarce. Despite them claiming to have a vegan option, I have never encountered one. The only savoury option is a sausage sandwich - which is a poor offering. Come on Lytham Hall - get with the programme. Buy a Bosh book and make an effort!Value for money? It would be better if a pot of tea for two was slightly less than a pot of tea for one x 2. However, the new car parking costs pump up the overall spend at the Hall, so you might be better off at Costa down the road. Don't rely on Lytham Hall having free disabled spaces either, there is only room for 4 or so cars - and they are all filled now the carpark charges.

just visited for first time very disappointed tea was like dish water I had to clean my cup and cutlery and the sandwich was yuk Cumberland sausages half cooked and hard left the lot won't be going back and I also had to clean the table we were sat at it was filthy.

Lytham Hall is stunning and the grounds and gardens are well worth the £1 to park and explore. The cafe is in a pleasant spot within the courtyards at the back of the Hall, you can either sit inside, out in a walled quadrangle, or on picnic tables in the garden in the front.The food and cakes are well prepared. We had chocolate cake at our latest visit and the portions were good and tasty enough. Usual range of hot and cold drinks at typical prices for these sorts of places.The menu is more limited than it used to be before lock-down, when there used to be more daily specials available, but hopefully this is on a temporary limitation. Enjoyed our visit.

Lovely walk round the grounds of Lytham Hall with the dog followed by breakfast .The cafe had a lovely atmosphere and was busy but with a nice vibe of people and well behaved dogs .My husband had kippers and I had poached eggs on toast .Both dishes were delicious and piping hot . Staff were very friendly and efficient .Reasonably priced for the quality of food . There is an option to eat outside as well when the weather heats up .After eating we had a look round the plants that are for sale just outside the cafe .All in all a very enjoyable morning and we will be back .

Pleasant surroundings. Lovely looking cakes in the counter display. Unfortunately only the flapjacks are for the gluten free. Very very disappointing. When asked, the waitress says everything we have is on the menu. Very useful. Not. Plenty for vegans though. Perhaps I should become a vegan instead.

Busy, helpful staff.Great location. Great atmosphere. Dog friendly. Lovely food and menu. Good choice. Includes vegi and gluten. Great walk and snowdrops time!! Worth booking as can be very busy

Nice cafe in a great location, however, far too many dogs in there for my liking. We only had tea, coffee, cakes and scones and all were fine, but the staff member serving was pretty miserable. We’ll give it another go though because the bacon rolls looked great.

Great menu, great service, great staff, great and reasonable prices. Fast service. Christmas Meal was really good. Nice easy walk after. Lovely plants for sale. Thanks

Really nice and excellent prices and comfortable. Helpful cheerful staff. Great cakes would recommend.

Lytham Hall is very close to the train station although it's a fairly long walk from the gates up to the house. The building is beautiful and tours are available although we didn't do one on this visit. We did however visit the cafe which was very cosy and welcoming. There are many choices for tea and cakes and also a good selection of lunchtime dishes. Everything looked fab although we just had a cake and tea. Staff were also very friendly and we'll definitely be back.

Love this place - place, staff prices but where on earth do they get their scones from - bland and boring - such a shame because we love the place - just trying to be constructive because we like the place so much

We called in for a drink prior to going on the tour of the Hall, good quality tea, pleasant staff and reasonable prices, will call again.

Lytham Hall Cafe is excellent for lunch. Menu is well rounded for most tastes, good selection of beers and wines. Surprisingly close to town with plenty of parking.

Very special event at Lytham Hall where Laura wright and two friends entertained us to a wonderful evening of song. The event was to support Lytham Hall whose staff did a wonderful job providing refreshment.

We live on the doorstep of Lytham Hall and know the listed building very well. However, today was our first visit to the tea room. We had to pay £1 per person to go through the main gates to get to the tea room. Upon entering the tea room, finding a clean table and sitting down, a pushy lady came selling raffle tickets for upkeep of the Hall for £1 each. We ordered a pot of tea for 4 persons. It was hot and good, served quickly in fine bone china, no complaints. Our food order came soon afterwards, 2 x jacket potatoes with prawns and salad garnish. Potatoes were only just warm. Garnish included a thin slice of orange, we asked for a wedge of lemon and it came. Waiter returned saying no more beef burgers, so order changed to pork burger. This was poor quality and not freshly cooked to order, tasted warmed up. Finally the fish pie, looked nice but tasted average. Mostly mashed potatoes and not much fish, served with more new potatoes and baby corn which was over cooked. We didn't bother with deserts, saw the table opposite with scones that looked dry. Prices were reasonable for Lytham, I suppose. But add on the gate entrance and raffle tickets. The food did not match the surroundings, which is a dreadful shame. The serving staff need to smile more too. We were all disappointed.

The house is absolutely stunning with a fantastic history. A walk around the grounds is a must, especially if you can time it for the snowdrop walk. The cafe serves a good selection of snacks and drinks at reasonable prices.

Today (Monday) , sunny , pleasantly warm . Busy but certainly not packed! (Goodness knows what the cafe is like at weekends and special events!) Enjoyed an hour just walking around the ever improving grounds and all that’s on offer to enjoy! Lovely clean toilets, super plants on sale, really pleasant lady dealing with plant sales! Antique shop closed ... not open every day apparentlyPiggeries closed. Time for lunch? Two hungry children plus two adults. Sat outside at one of the picnic benches And sat... and sat... 1 1/2 hours later we had still not had our order brought out! It was two basic sandwiches!!! Nothing complex ! Forced to ask for refund. Seriously couldn’t wait any longer! Refund handed over without a comment! Is that an acceptable situation!!! What is going on Lytham Hall? Do you intend letting this dreadful situation spoil all your hard work in breathing life back into the grand old lady? Pretty sure Violet Clifton certainly would NOT have accepted this shoddy situation!!

Just had a wonderful afternoon at Lytham Hall. Beautiful walks & flowers. Great lunch. Well worth a visit.

Visited Lytham Hall on Sunday to do the tour of the house following which we decided to have lunch at the café there.We have been many times so knew it was very good and today was no different. We had the quiche, the salmon and a cottage cheese and pineapple jacket potato and all were beautifully presented and tasty.The service as always was friendly and efficient and as long as you can get a table it's a brilliant place for elevenses, lunch or afternoon tea.

We had an excellent light lunch here on Lytham Club Day. The cafe is clean and spacious, and the staff are very welcoming and efficient. The food was delicious, and other meals we saw also looked very good. The courtyard is a pretty place to sit, and the kitchen garden worth a visit. It is dog friendly too. We'll be back.

Whether eating in the cafe, buying plants for the garden, a trip round the old hall or having a walk with the dog around the gardens there is something for everyone.

I walk my dog here and appreciate the welcoming dog friendly cafe. They hold interesting events for all ages. Thoroughly recommended.

As a local love the fact that the hall is on doorstep and think the ambience and setting of cafe and grounds are lovely, so thought it would be good to bring a visitor to Lytham here. Boxes ticked for location and service but quality of food very disappointing. Grated cheese for sandwiches described as containing finest Lancashire cheese not good, burger tasted like cheap processed meat, left after two mouthfuls by 10 year old. Very disappointed, will visit again but won’t be eating here.

Went to the evening do after the wedding they served lamb hot pot. I sat down with my plate of hot pot (Lamb) took a spoonful and found it rather sweet. I had to investigate as to what I actually put in my mouth. I found carrots and potatoes cut very small then I found what looked like chicken pellets! Low and behold it was quorn they had used! NO Lamb was used in the hot pot. Apparently the afternoon tea that they had after the wedding wasn’t up to much so beware of Lytham Hall if your thinking about having your wedding there! They seem to be on a quick fix of making money!

Visited Lytham Hall - what a stunning gem of a building. It was a lovely day so we wandered round the well-stocked and well-presented plant hub before deciding to treat ourselves to coffee and cake. What a disappointment.The tearooms are lovely: a quirky mixture of furniture and vintage crockery. It wasn't busy and I was soon served by the most miserable youngish man to ever work behind a counter: no smile, no greeting, no "What would you like?" Before I'd even finished ordering our drinks, he'd turned round and started to put a cup under the coffee machine. At that point, an equally unfriendly young lady got the cakes I ordered. Both proceeded to stack up my try until it was precariously loaded with hot drinks and food. When I paid, there was no please/thank you/smile or anything. As I was doing so, a lady from another table approached the counter with a tray full of dirty crockery and said "I've cleared these for you." but there was barely any acknowledgement from the staff. This was in complete contrast to the lovely member of staff serving and helping at the plant hub who couldn't do enough for us.The cake (chocolate and ginger) was quite nice, reasonably priced and a decent portion. The coffee (latte) was bitter; I'm not sure what beans are used but it was pretty nasty and I left most of it.I doubt we'll be back which is a shame as Lytham Hall is such a lovely venue to while away a few hours...

I was scalded by boiling water due to the queue for orders and drinks which causes a bottle neck through small door/ corridor to outdoors. The manager did not seem interested, what if this was a child?! From the outside door to the cafe there is about 4 steps. There is a combination of children and dogs entering and leaving. I feel the serving counter needs relocation or queue from the opposite side? Waitress service would be much better as the area outside is lovely. I had 2 visits today, the first I cleared tables as a favour and the second visit tables were once again stacking up with used crockery. I have visited before ( im a local not a tourist) and similar issue of queues out of the door.

Visited beginning of May with 3 daughters and 3 grandchildren Noproblems parking plenty of woodland areas to park. Into Cafe first as children hungry I had the pork pate with toast which was yummy 2 off the children had ham sandwhich my daughters just had chocolate cake which they all agreed was really good,I noticed that there was a good choice of homemade cakes.pleasant helpful staff Alltogether a great experienceWe then set of into the large area of woodland which is a joy for the children my 5 yr old grandson loved exploring through the bluebell woods lots of trails to follow. Altogether a good half day experience for all ages

Haven't been here before so it was a nice surprise on a warm, sunny spring day. The tearoom is spacious with lots of tables (which were all full). We ordered a 6oz burger and salad and a pulled pork barm from the specials board. I was surprised the burger was under 'light bites and snacks' as the portion was huge! Really enjoyed the burger, the fresh barm cake, cheese and relish. I would have perhaps served the relish seperately though. Dad said his pulled pork barmcake was lovely and again this was served with plenty of salad with a good dressing. I thought the menu had some great options and was really surprised by the competitive pricing for the size and quality of the portions. I also enjoyed walking around the garden areas. Plenty of parking and dog friendly too. We'll definitely return. Well done Lytham Hall.

Whilst walking the dog popped in for s coffee and a cake. Outside was really pretty with all the plants out to purchase for Mother’s Day. Nice scone and coffee.

I regularly visit the hall to exercise my very small dogs.... Meet up with friends and buy from the truly inspirational Leafy Lytham plant podI am continually underwhelmed by the cafe really and truly they can't do drinks! We are so discerning these days and deserve the best The coffee machine is hopelessEarl Grey tea bags tastelessFruit teas tastelessIt's not enough to buy good quality one has to store the products so the quality does not deteriorate Also it is all very well to rely on volunteers. REALLY! but they have to be able bodied (shades of Julie Walters two soups)And trained..... After all we are paying full market price not training day price On the matter of the drive what is stopping the repairs of the pot holes Talk about chicken and egg that should be a priority to ensure a smooth access Everyone remarks on it as well as the poor drinksToday I paid £3.50 in M&S Deepdale for a glorious beautifully brewed fresh cappuccino served in a top quality large cup and saucer by a fully trained salaried barrister who was relaxed confident and valuedCome on Lytham Hall stop mucking about and be professional Value your staff and customers and do stop being lofty

Came here with inlaws - they had booked the table. As we had prebooked afternoon tea the table was all set up for us when we arrived. Each person got their own cake stand which I really liked. The little pot of salad & crisps were a good touch and the scone was really tasty. At under £12 each it is very good value! Lovely setting and a good cause (volunteer run). Very nice place.

Visited the Winter Art exhibition on Sunday and went into the tea room for some lunch. Was met with a look that can only be called a sneer by the lady I ordered food from. While we were eating another lady came over to our table and started shuffling things around and said, “I’ll have to put some other people on this table.” This was very strange behaviour as there were other tables available and she made an assumption that we would mind being joined! She made this assumption based on nothing and we certainly wouldn’t have minded being joined on the table. To add insult to injury, the same lady walked around selling raffle tickets, I knew I didn’t have any change so decided I would buy £5 worth BUT said lady didn’t come to our table but visited every other! The food was bland and the welcome lacking.I was looking forward to my visit to the hall and thought it would become a regular haunt...I don’t thinks so now.

We are regular visitors to Lytham Hall and it’s woodland walks. After a lovely autumnal walk with our two cocker spaniels we decided to have a lite bite meal from the Cafe there. The food was exceptional, we had the 6oz burger and salad and it was spot on. The salad was so good with a nice dressing and well presented. The burger was cooked just right in a nice soft bun.Thank you to Clare and her team there for making us feel welcome in their dog friendly cafe.

Not really much here to buy. Needs to be bigger and have better things. So really it pointless to go here.

Lovely stroll through the grounds at Lytham Hall, not demanding, trees at autumn, managed decreptitude, nice volunteers doing good works, look in the stables 'shop', buy a plant at the garden-y bit, then coffee and scone or cake at the cafe. What a lovely afternoon. Do visit. Plenty parking.

reasonable prices with good portions and friendly staff. Food was obviously made on site and was all the better for it. Minestrone soup excellent and Chocolate Mint Cheesecake was bril !

12 of us went for afternoon tea for a family celebration. Couldn't fault the service and £9.95 each was excellent value.

I really want to be a fan of it here but I’m underwhelmed at every visit.I have had soup and sandwiches, just drinks and coffee and cake on different visits. I have to say I don’t think they use very good quality ingredients and the coffee and hot chocolate is extremely poor. Sadly the prices don’t reflect this. Lovely venue but just needs to up the standard.

Lytham Hall café is one of the best cafés locally with a range of delicious cakes and teas, all served in vintage China. The decor is lovely and most of the furniture is very traditional. I highly recommended the Cherry and Pistachio slice!

Visited on a rare family day together. Not one of our party of six enjoyed their food. Large lump of chicken on salad was totally inedible and even sandwiches were poor with seemingly cheap ingredients. When I asked if they had gluten free bread for one member of our party, you’d have thought I was asking for the earth. A tiny cafe we sometimes visit always has some gluten free bread in the freezer but then small owner-run cafes are usually best.Might be OK for a tea or coffee and a cake but, if our experience is anything to go by, not good for lunch.

Really niced cooked food be it a limited choice but most of what they do is good (apart from the burgers), the cakes are homemade and beautiful,good service with a smile and spotlessly clean.

We have been going to this cafe for a while but have noticed more and more dogs! This last visit was something of a disaster. Our party went over to a table on the long wall near the window but as one person went round the table there was an unseen bowl of water next to the wall. They caught the edge of this dog bowl and promptly filled their shoe with water. This was laughed off to a degree but once we were seated the next table was occupied by a dog owner. This was a large long haired dog that smelt a lot. It proceeded to stretch out and was quiet an obstacle especially to pensioners. Because of this we finished our coffees and instead of having lunch the six of us left and went to Weatherspoons for lunch. When we left there were four dogs in the cafe. The 'dog friendly' attitude cost the cafe dearly, to the tune of £70. We will think long and hard before we visit again.

First visit for a drink and cake, very nice, surprised how popular it was, plenty of free parking, dog friendly and scrumptious cakes. We will certainly return and try their lunch offerings. The Hall was open for tours when we were there but sadly we didn’t have time to do it but we will be back.

As a local, I had never visited before. What a lovely place. The cafe was clean, cosy & welcoming. Tea & coffee very generous & the food being served to a busy cafe looked delicious. Staff are cheerful & friendly. We had done the Hall tour which overran by nearly an hour but the cafe served us tea & cakes very close to closing time, & left us to enjoy them in peace. We shall be back, hopefully with a group.

Can here for tea coffee and drinks on Easter Sunday. The cafe did an excellent job on one of the busiest days of the year. Cafe is dog friendly and has a lovely choice of cakes. I suggest a visit.

We visit here approximately every three months for lunch. As we entered the cafe yesterday there was a very strong smell of dog. I counted 6 large dogs so be aware if you don't like dogs that they are likely to be there.We had the lamb hot pot and felt it wasn't value for money. The vegetables were tasty as was the red cabbage. However, the portion of lamb mince was miniscule. It just about covered the bottom of the container it was served in. If memory serves correctly we were charged £8 for this dish and I'm really sorry to say that next time I'm in the area we will have lunch else where.

Today I went with my family for afternoon tea. You need to give at least a days notice. We are all vegetarian and were very impressed. There was a good choice of sandwiches and the cakes were delicious. Then enjoyed a lovely walk around the grounds to look at the snowdrops.

We recently held a buffet reception in the West Wing/Board Room, after my fathers funeral. From start to finish Paul, Peter and the team were fantastic. They guided/helped us through a very emotional time. The food, service and rooms were excellent. Combined with the ambience of the Hall, this was as close to perfect as you could make it. I would highly recommend to anyone planning a private function.

Went with a group of friends. Food was very nice however it all arrived at different times and two were served after everybody else had actually finished, despite the fact they ordered the exact same as two others! A bit disappointed to say the least sad i had heard good things before going. Be careful on the walk over from the car park as the cobbles in front of the entrance are extremely slippery and an accident waiting to happen in the rain...

We thought we had got there early at 11.50am, but it was packed, a good sign! We found a table however, and sat down with our dog, noting there were many others. This is not just a tea room, or a restaurant, it is a lovely cafe, with a cracking menu. We wanted a light lunch, so we went for a prawn sandwich with the Marie Rose sauce, and a cheese and pickle sandwich. both were served with a lovely fresh salad with a wonderful dressing, but they were huge!!!! I had a freshly ground coffee, and my Wife had a green tea. We really did eat like royalty, and it came to less than £15.00. Service was impeccable too. Entry to the grounds is free Monday to Friday, with a small charge at weekend. The meal sets you up for a fantastic walk around the grounds, mostly on firm footpaths, and in January to March the 'show' of the Snow Drops is a delight. A 'must do' if you are near Lytham.

We always visit usually for tea and cakes which are really nice , however, last Sunday we visited in the afternoon and ordered the hot specials . The soup was supposed to be chunky veg soup. Did it run out ? Dear Manager, Your customers know the difference between chunky home made and a gloopy clear packet veg soup mix . The only chunky part of it was the three croutons on top . What a rip off -Reminded me of cuppa soups .

I'm glad it was suggested to us to visit Lytham Hall and its gardens but it was more of a surprise to find a tea room there! A great atmosphere with friendly staff made it a wonderful visit. The sandwiches were delicious and the pot of tea we were served seemed never ending and also having China cups! We'll be back to try the other items on the menu.

Lovely location, friendly service, great brew. Good choice for lunch. Wide selection of homemade cakes.

With Lytham town centre busy with a lunchtime crowd, what better way to spend a late Autumn afternoon with a walk through Lytham Hall's grounds?The tearoom was busy but I found a table. I had the chestnut and mushroom Wellington served with cabbage, carrots and potatoes, 3 of my favourite vegetables particularly when they were so well cooked. Had a bottle of juice and then went back for a pot of tea for one.The service was quick, the food was very good value and a vegetarian option is a good change. Very autumnal meal.

I visited with a friend for lunch. We weren't looking for a meal just a sandwich and a drink. The service was great and we felt that both the sandwiches - prawn marie rose and the tea were good value. The sandwich was on fresh bread with plenty of prawns, the sauce was served in a small pot and the side salad was fresh and nicely dressed. The tea was good value too - hot water and plenty of milk provided as well. We will no doubt return.

We visited the Hall last Saturday for a walk around the grounds and a quick bite to eat in the tearooms. My daughter had the quiche which was ok, but I had the shrimps which were a bit underwhelming to say the least. It was presented well - although potted shrimps shouldn't need marie rose sauce. Unfortunately the shrimps themselves were pretty tasteless and the 2 slices of wholemeal bread had virtually no butter on them - I'm talking a thin scraping across the middle. It just seemed so penny pinching and I'm pretty sure the chef/cook would not have prepared anything like that had it been for his own consumption at home. Drinks were fine and they looked after us really well, it was just so disappointing that with a bit more effort it could have been so much better.

After seeing a board advertising afternoon tea being served inside the hall Thursdays/Fridays, I decided to take my Mother as a treat. It was served just inside Lytham Hall, on the right, in a room which was apparently the Old Library. There were several tables full and an old gramaphone playing music to add to the atmosphere. The food is prepared freshly in the tearooms, and served on traditional fine bone china, very pretty. The lady immediately brought us a pot of tea and gave my Mum a cushion, ensuring her comfort. There was a selection of finger sandwiches, a mini smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese, garnished with a green salad and crisps. Sweets consisted of a scone, clotted cream & jam, tiny cream filled pastry, carrot and ginger cake and an iced bakewell tart. All on individual cake stands. We couldn't quite finish the cakes, and were given bags to take them home.The ladies are all volunteers of Lytham Hall, really kind and attentive. Everything was lovely, cakes and scones light and delicious.A nice change in an unusual setting. Definately worth a visit. Take a sweater, as could be a tiny bit chilly on a cooler day.

Arrived at Lytham Hall today around 12.40pm for lunch it was packed .We managed to get two seats and studied the Menu I decided on Hotpot with fresh Veg and red cabbage Glass of wine My friend had home made Quiche salad new pots Rose wine Water and I had a Elderflower drink .It was truly excellent and the cost £26 for two of us £26 .We then relaxed outside lytham hall in the sun.Then went into Lytham to have a mooch round all the Charity shops some are very reasonable but there is one that is so so expensive .Bought amazing bedding from stringers lemon grey and white and a beautifulrug in lemon and white and two brand new bath towels.Good day had in lytham x

Visited mid week and it was free loads of parking including disabled plenty of walks and it's not far into Lytham centre were there are plenty of shopping and restaurants but back to the hall well worth a visit nice place to eat or have a ice cream

We live locally and popped in for a brew. Pleasant café with friendly staff. Have to be honest, my scone was a bit dry and ordinary but hubby was happy enough with his cake. Lovely location and room for a stroll/explore.

I am lucky enough to live within walking distance of this great place. Customer service is great and its superb value for money. I have two dogs and it's great that I can take them in there with me if I want to break up our walk.

Had coffee and cake on arrival at Lytham Hall, superb coffee and service -we had a range of cakes -all excellent. Light lunch of chicken salad was faultless. Everyone friendly and helpful.

Parents and I came for lunch last week. Service with a smile. Soup was delicious. But it was busy and was still busy when we returned for cup of tea after our walk. All ways a good sign. Fantastic decoration, food and service. Well worth a visit. A welcome collapsing stop after Park Run also!

I enjoy visiting Lytham Hall and the tea rooms serve a good selection of food and drinks. There is something special about this place and the grounds are peaceful and relaxing. Free parking and entry during the week, my grandchild loved running about exploring.

reasonably priced lunch with china cups and saucers. Dogs welcome and plenty of space wheelchair friendly

it's been awhile since we visited the grounds, to see the fairy doors trail, which was a lovely thing do do. this visit was to see the snowdrops and despite a very cold wind a really enjoyable visit again. since we had to walk up the driveway we were lucky to see buzzards and jays plus many other birds. the snowdrops were splendid and fluttering in the wind. the wind had driven us and many others to the tea rooms. these have been imaginatively transformed from the previous canteen style to a characterful space, furnished with older wooden tables and chairs and a cosy 'library corner'. we were just having drinks and cakes but as we left some folk were enjoying splendid hot lunches and told us they were delicious. will definitely be back for lunch. well done to all the volunteers and the new tea-shop proprietors for the work you've put in.

Snowdrop drifts are so very beautiful and is excellent. The meal at the tea room was very good and good value indeed. Great for couples and families and dogs

Visited yesterday after a pleasant walk from Lytham. The tearoom was very warm and welcoming. We had only intended to have a warm drink - however once we saw the range of lovely cakes on offer we had a very quick change of mind. I had a hot chocolate and a piece of lemon drizzle cake both were delicious, my friend had a pot of tea and a slice if fairy cake again delicious, We will return but next time for a meal

Our 10 year old lab loves the walk around the woods then a few tit bits in the friendly cafe! Great freshly made food.

It was nice to find somewhere that allows dogs in, unfortunately the food was poor. I had a gruyere tart which was served with new potatoes, it appeared that the food was reheated in a microwave once I started to eat. The tart had originally been burnt on the top but the reheating had made filling soggy whilst the pastry was soft. The potatoes appeared dry but when cut open were more water than potato, these were given gratefully to the dog. The only positive was a nice cup of tea. Overall a disappointing experience that I won't be doing again.

Relaxing, comfy, spacious room, individual, friendly - good range of hot drinks, herbal teas, cakes etc. Bit off the beaten track but worth it

Been a regular for some time , always satisfied with exception of my last visit , visited 2,30 ish and when we was still dining a waitress decided to spray furniture polish on tables to commence with cleaning tables , we were all stunned that she was completely unaware that we was still dining , the smell was horrific , should do clean down when customers have left , first time I've experienced this , a lovely lunch ruined

You must visit Lytham Hall Cafe, Afternoon tea in the lovely in cafe , beautifully decorated, super fast service and staff friendly, thank you and I will definitely be returning and well behaved dogs are welcome too.

Lovely dog friendly tea rooms with fabulous food, friendly helpful staff & relaxing atmosphere. We often take our dogs for a walk/run around fabulous Lytham Hall grounds before visiting the tea rooms for refreshments. Good quality food at a reasonable price.

We often visit Lytham Hall and always take the opportunity to visit the café which is brilliant after the takeover by the current people. Drinks and lunches are very tasty and good value, we particularly like sitting in the comfy seats at the back of the café with our coffees (in the mock library- amazing what wallpaper designs you can get these days). Well worth a visit.

Came across this place while visiting Lytham. A little hidden Gem. A bit different from other establishments with good decor and nice ambiance. Food good, well presented and reasonable prices. Staff polite and attentive. Lovely outside eating area too. Give it a try.

We visited the restaurant at Lytham Hall twice whilst enjoying the town's 1940s weekend. The cafe is in the converted stable block and is very stylishly decorated - gold leather tub chairs and wonderful mis-matched vintage tables and chairs. The menu is excellent and very good value - scrumptious homemade cakes, huge sandwiches, local meat and fish dishes, many of which are themed to the Hall's history. Efficient service, friendly staff - all in all a lovely place to relax. Additional room upstairs where we had evening meal (events only I think). Very reasonable prices for such quality.There is a charge to tour the Hall, but the very extensive grounds and gardens are free to explore - ideal for a dog walk after a cream tea! Extensive, adjacent free parking.

Pleasant surroundings,pretty good tea and coffee and good value.The only fly in the ointment was when my wife asked if the soup was homemade the reply was "half". Presumably a packet was emptied into a pan of water and heated up!The baked potato with tuna was a great alternative.

Visited the cafe while attending a family event at Lytham Hall. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed with the right tone to attract adults and children. Enjoyed the drinks and homemade cakes very much, as did my family!

Decided to try the café at Lytham Hall for lunch the other day and even on a Monday lunchtime it was quite busy with people dropping in for coffee and cake as well as lunch..An ideal location as you can take a walk around the grounds to build up an appetite before sampling the lovely fare they have on offer at the café.There was a good selection of main courses as well as sandwiches. We can definitely vouch for the sandwiches and the double cheese and onion pie which had a beautifully light pastry and was served with a selection of potatoes and vegetables.The puddings were also great and tasted homemade but they also sell ice cream and biscuits for those with a smaller appetite.A really nice lunch in nicely refurbished surroundings. Loved the bookcase wallpaper!Try it you'll love it!

Tried this tea room for the fist time recently after running the Parkrun in the Hall grounds.Nicely decorated, plenty of seating both inside and out.Excellent value £6.00 for tee for two plus scones. The Bacon / sausage barm cakes looked enormous.great value and nice location - very friendly and helpful staff.

Ideal for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. The setting is fantastic and if the weather is nice there's plenty of seating outside. I have visited times, there's free parking and the grounds are lovely. Homemade cakes too!

My friend suggested that we meet up for a catch up - always ready to try different places, I readily agreed to join her at Lytham Hall.It was superb ! A beautiful place, sympathetically decorated with a wonderful choice of lunches & afternoon tea goodies.And the icing on the top(almost literally?!) - dogs are allowed !!Can recommend it wholeheartedly & next time I will definitely take my dog.PS It was busy on a Tuesday afternoon - word has got around.

Lytham Hall has always had a cafe, previously run by volunteers but in January 2016 it was refurbished and is now operated privately. They now have a lovely selection of food available and a delicious choice of desserts, cakes and all things sweet.It's really a place for all seasons you can enjoy exploring the historical hall, wonderful grounds which are all constantly changing whilst funds are raised for their restoration then round it off with a visit to this wonderful "new" venue
