The food was lovely and all tastes fresh. Our waitress Jo (I believe that was her name) was very attentive and extremely polite. she seemed genuinely happy to answer any questions and get us more tea and a box to take the cakes away in. She is definitely an asset to the company and should be noticed. The only thing I would say is it was over priced for what we got. The cakes and scones were amazing and flavorous but we only got 3 mini finger sandwiches each. Considering they are tiny I would suggest 4-5 each for the price... it felt like we had tons of cake and no sandwiches at all. Although the ones we did have were lovely, I think for £31 for 2 afternoon tea's... we defiantly should of had more than 3 sandwich strips each. This small detail would of made it better and more worth the money, considering other places I have been have been cheaper and given more. That's the only down fall... the rest was great. thank you.

Excellent. Very efficient but friendly staff. Food top notch. All together a very pleasant dinner. Will definitely return. Only downside, lighting a bit bright for us.

We ate in the lounge which was a bit tired looking but seemed a more relaxed space to have our afternoon tea in. The two waitresses were a delight and very attentive. The food was a little disappointing. 3 finger sandwiches each, the patisserie was nice but the scones were pretty dry and unappetising. Still, made a nice break in our journey.

Disappointed at the small selection choices for lunch, mostly sandwich and pizza. We have eaten at Lanes before, but in the evening. Wouldn't go at lunch time again. It is a beautiful hotel and the gardens are gorgeous.

Good customer service as we ran late due to the taxi not arriving but weren’t made to feel rushed when we arrived
