Lanes Hotel

Great service from arrival until leaving. Really good selection of drinks and delicious tasting food! Awesome atmosphere with friendly staff too. A really nice meal at a really good venue.

Reserved a table online for Sunday evening. Menu given out was a Sunday lunch menu and not the al a carte dinner menu I was expecting. Food was very good and well presented. Speed of service was good and the staff were good but had to request drinks.

Lovely location and food but we had to wait too long for the food to arrive at the table so overall it took two hours to have lunch

Lovely environment, superb service, and really enjoyable meal, ate dishes not tried before which were very enjoyable.

Great meal and service

The food, as always, was fantastic. In the local area, if you want to eat out for lunch, most places only offer "traditional pub classics" but Lanes gives you a real up-market alternative. We had a 3 course meal for two and loved all three courses, however we both agreed that probably for us the weakest course was the main (Moroccan Chicken). Although a personal preference, would have liked slightly less meat (the portion was actually nice and generous) and in it place some vegetables to add a bit more colour and interest to the dish. That aside the food was genuinely wonderful (particularly the apricot bread and butter pudding for desert). The drinks, as always, were a little on the pricey side - you do need to take this into account when dining at Lanes. The ambiance was friendly and relaxing as always, though we did have a couple of minor observations, Firstly the wall decorations interestingly integrated within them some small bottles and jars with flowers in them. Unfortunately some of the water in these bottles had gone green, which was slightly off-putting and gives a misleadingly poor impression of hygiene. Also, the piped music in the restaurant, while relaxing, is reminiscent of "elevator music". Personally I think the mood music should be reviewed and updated.

Excellent meal in very pleasant surroundings

Lovely hotel, staff very attentive and the food was excellent.

The food was very good, fairly expensive but overall value for money, and the service was very attentive. My steak was perfecty cooked and beautifully tender. My only disappointment was that when the Creme Brulee arrived, it was, in fact, a chocolate mousse with a very chewy toffee disc of caramelised sugar and the shortbread biscuit was rather thick. It all tasted good however.

Ladies that lunch....
No rush and able to relax with a drink beforehand
Staff attentive and friendly
Menu choice ok but perhaps a more informal menu would be nice for lunch date..
Enjoyed by the 3 of us... no rush
