Lytton Restaurant

"Brilliant food on new year's day. Lovely sense of luxury and excellent service. Also very reasonably priced. Recommended Often eat there. Always good!"

"Very up and down review for a very mixed evening meal. Buckle up and settle in for this one folks. The Service Quiet disappointed initially as looked forward to a good meal at what was supposed to be a good restaurant. Despite there only being three tables we had to chase our drinks orders and track down waiters. Turns out there were only three front of house staff on a Saturday! I think two of them were not old enough to drink and the other barely. They were clearly in over their head but to their credit their initial look of panic everytime I chased an order turned into dogmatic calm as they scurried around as best they could given lack of experience and short handedness. The Food Great! I was of course concerned at this time. No staff and children manning the bar! what is the kitchen going to be like? Fortunately the kitchen churned out very good food in a timely manner. It was enough to allow our party to relax and enjoy the tea generiously spilling out of a pot onto the floor as the waiter hurried with a pot at a downward angle. Excellent steak, cooked as we asked, good chips and a superb eton mess that could feed the 5000. The other guests If the story ended there all would be fine. Alas, the restaurant seems to have unwittingly parked itself in a retirement home. The other guests clearly habited close by and frequented the restaurant frequently. This lead to an Octagenarian couple to be furious with our table. We had an 8 year old, a 6 year old, a 3 year old and two babies. The couple evidently could not handle such abundance of youth leading to them shouting rude things, and accused us of not being able to control out children and claiming to have spoiled their evening. I would mention that we were there first and it was quiet empty in there so could have any number of talbes further away. The unfortunate upshot was it ruined almost ruined the whole evening. We suspect the restaurant wants families to visit it but may want to warn the people born in the Victorian era that they may have to suffer laughter nearby and that children now do come to meals as opposed to being locked in cupboards. The staff did a very good job of trying to calm everyone down I must add."

"We had afternoon tea today. Our waiter was very pleasant. The food was lovely, however it was a shame not to be offered more tea or coffee during the time we were seated. We choose to sit outside after our food and enjoy the glorious grounds. I purchased a round of drinks at the bar. I paid for these immediately. I was therefore a little irritated when we came to leave to be shouted at across the room was I planning on paying my bill for drinks before leaving! I stated I had already paid to which the bar person shrugged her shoulders and said ok. Some what perturbed by this I decided to check the payment had gone through and went back to the bar to show my banking app receipt as proof to which I was told they had found it but thanks anyway. No apology for the unnecessary way I was spoken to. Something of a tarnish on what had otherwise been a lovely afternoon."

"We went for afternoon tea with work colleagues. One issue was nowhere to park and being winter on a rainy winter afternoon had a fair walk to the venue. We had 2 vegetarians the options were cheese cheese and more cheese re sandwiches. Although we were told we had limitless tea and coffee we weren't checked on to see if we wanted a top up and had to keep asking. All in all lovely settings and venue.. reasonably priced but not the greatest variety re cakes and sandwiches."

"My wife and I recently found this restaurant on Bookable. We lived locally and wasn’t aware it even existed; we were not disappointed. We were greeted at the bar by smiley Waitress and offered a cocktail of the cocktail menu. They have just launched the Spring menu which looked really appetizing. I went for the salmon and the Lamb and my husband Risotto balls and the Hake, the food was well seasoned and very tasty. Just before we had finished the Chef came out and chatted to the tables which was nice, Barry or Baz as he asked to be called even told us he previously worked on the set of James Bond! After dinner we relaxed in the Bar, it was quiet but so cozy. We will return for our next date night."
