What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Lanes of Lymington is highly praised for its exceptional food, charming service, and romantic ambiance within a unique former church setting. Many diners highlight the staff's attentiveness, especially regarding dietary requirements, and the beautifully presented, delicious dishes. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, one diner found the experience expensive and noted a negative reaction from staff when feedback was given, contrasting with the generally lauded service.
"Utterly faultless. My partner is coeliac and they didn’t even bat an eyelid!! Staff were simply charming and the food was SUBLIME. Delicious wine and just the most beautiful evening. Dietary requirements aren’t a thing… they’re just not phased which made eating out a complete pleasure. Thank you!!"
Ella de Jongh
"It was a wonderful visit tonight (as it is everytime we visit!). We were welcomed in like old friends & chatted with the waitresses about our day and recent events. The food came quickly & my lamb that came highly recommended was spectacular! My parents also complimented their dishes as well and there is clearly someone who knows his stuff working hard preparing the food.
Have always loved visiting & will definitely be back as we have never left disappointed!!"
Alex Osborn-King
"It's difficult to find but once you are there you are in for a good surprise. The food is amazing, not pretentious dishes but executed to perfection. I recommend the avocado mousse and the flamboyant chocolate and coffee desert."
