I visited the grounds here with a friend and her little dog, lovely area for walking and a lovely cafe too. The gardens are wonderful thanks to all the wonderful volunteers. On this occasion I didn’t visit the hall though one day I will. Definitely a place to visit

Great place to visit. Had afternoon tea with friends and had a lovely walk around the extensive grounds. The weather was perfect for our visit and it was lovely to see the willow sculptures. Need to book another visit to go around the hall which we didn't have time to do on this occasion.

Always a pleasure to visit Lytham Hall, the grounds are beautiful and accessible. The kitchen garden is flourishing even at this time of year. The cafe is very good value for money and the food is excellent. Seeing the willow sculptures they had on display this year were so beautifully made by a local artist. I have yet to so the tour of the house but definitely on my to do list. There is also a great little garden centre, just a lovely day out

Decided to take a little walk around the house while visiting a car show within the grounds and so very glad we did. Absolutely worth the money in. The staff and guides all around the house were so very welcoming, all spoke with such passion about the house, the family and history of the place. You have a remarkable team there for sure. The house itself is just stunning. The food in the cafe was brilliant and the cafe staff were all wonderful too despite it being exceptionally busy. Well worth the visit for sure. Will spend more time exploring the surrounding grounds on our next trip too!

Lots to see in the hall. Very nice gardens still in bloom. Cafe very reasonable but up stairs. Great woodland walks and sculptures.

Lytham Hall Today we stepped back in time with a visit to Lytham Hall, a magnificent 18th-century Georgian house set in 78 acres of peaceful parkland. Hard to believe that when Cuthbert Clifton first acquired the land in 1606, it stretched across more than 8,000 acres. From the moment you walk through the grand entrance hall, the house is breathtaking. Every room glows with the character and stories of the Clifton family, who lived here for generations. The Italian plasterwork gleams above your head, the walls are lined with family portraits spanning centuries, and in the Gold Drawing Room, delicate hand-painted wallpaper seems to shimmer in the light. The Dining Room is another highlight, with Gillows furniture, including an exquisite curved mahogany servery, surrounded by fine china, silverware, lamps and beautifully dressed tables. Every corner has been lovingly curated — it feels less like a museum, more like stepping straight into the family’s world. The Staircase Hall is a showstopper. A sweeping Gillows mahogany staircase rises beneath a Venetian-style window, its opaque glass casting a soft glow. Above, Jupiter, king of the gods, gazes down from the ceiling — a dramatic reminder of the grandeur of the house. Upstairs, the journey through history continues. Bedrooms have been recreated in different eras — Edwardian, Victorian, Jacobean — offering a glimpse of how the Clifton family would have lived through the centuries. One suite is particularly poignant: the rooms once occupied by Violet Clifton, who lived here until her death in 1961. By then, the Clifton fortune had all but vanished, thanks to her son Harry’s gambling and excesses. The guides bring these stories alive with colourful tales. There’s the scandalous night Harry locked his wife Lilian out of the bedroom after a drunken argument; she attempted to climb along a balcony to get back inside, only to fall 30 feet. Miraculously, she survived — though with more than a few broken bones. Then there’s the tragic-comic story of young “Stiffy Clifton”, who broke his neck sliding down the bannister as a boy but lived on to serve in the Boer War, forever stiff-necked but unbowed. Violet herself was a formidable figure, remembered less for kindness than for ruthlessness. Offend her, and she could ruin your life. When she dismissed her chef for possessing a tin of Bird’s custard powder, she went so far as to have her lawyers block him from ever working again. She even sought to have a man deported for killing a hare to feed his sick wife. Her reputation as vindictive is still very much alive in the stories whispered through these halls. As you wander further, the surprises continue: replica costumes, intricately detailed dolls’ houses, and even a World War II hospital room complete with accounts from the wounded soldiers who once convalesced here. Each room layers history upon history, making it impossible not to be swept up in the drama of the house and its people. After such an extraordinary tour, Lytham Hall’s charm lingers on in the little touches: a café brimming with old-world character, the irresistible shelves of the Preludes bookshop (yes, I succumbed to temptation and bought a few!), and the quaint garden centre tucked away in the grounds. Lytham Hall is more than just a historic house — it’s a living storybook, full of beauty, scandal, and secrets. An absolute treasure.

Lytham Hall is such a lovely spot. The gardens are really pretty and it’s a nice place for a gentle walk. I especially liked the curtains pond, so peaceful, with fishermen dotted around. There’s also a cafe on site & the parking is reasonably priced which is always a bonus.

Beautiful gardens, twisting pathways, ponds, sunken garden. Perfect for a gentle stroll, in historical, peaceful surroundings. Just long enough for those who may have difficulty walking, you can lengthen, shorten your walk to your ability on the day. Lovely with nature stroll, some disabled parking close to the entrance too and places for refreshment. Highly recommend or combine with popping into the shops Lytham St Anne's. For the very young, with play areas, tranquil areas for those wanting peace and a relaxed reset and great for couples, friends to chat and walk.

Went to Ashton Park yesterday and had a coffee and lovely piece of cake in the cafe. We then had a walk around the park. It is small but well kept with very beautiful flower beds. Well worth a visit is your in St. Anne's.

I love feeding the ducks on Ashton Gardens - so peaceful (make sure it’s suitable food though - I get duck food from my local pet shop) it’s a lovely short walk around the pond area and takes you through to the local town of St Anne’s In The Sea.

Very nice walk and lots of beaches to sit on. Great play area for parents with children. Also has a bowling green. There's also a pond with ducks so Great if you have kids to feed them. Very well maintained throughout the park.

Great Park, lovely gardens and nice little cafe.

Lovely gardens with cafe there too Parking on street or multi storey car park across the road Childrens play area and bowling green

Not sure why I have never been aware of this place before now but beautiful gardens and although we visited for a big event I can imagine this being a nice tranquil setting normally. Will definitely return

Great place for a scenic walk. The lake on one side and the beach on the other. Pretty and peaceful. Plenty of benches to stop for a rest, too! Took some sandwiches and enjoyed the fresh air.

Great place to wander round. Good paths and plenty of seating around the lake. Cafe very good and super dog friendly. Spitfire tribute is very informative and lots of other activities to try.

Nice place lots to do enjoyed this ! It has golf, kayaking among others… hiking trail too very enjoyable.

Fabulous place, beautiful area and lovely to walk around or to just sit off. Highly recommend.

Lovely location is a great place to spend the day only let down by lack of public toilets and those that are there are disgusting and cost you 40p no more spend a penny great spitfire memorial

Fantastic place to enjoy the sunshine. It has 2 playgrounds for the littles ones.

Lovely place to visit & take a Picnic as we did. Tranquility at its best. Visitors down from Scotland and savoured the Lake area.

Lovely clean beach with a quaint little pier nearby. Great for families and has a no dogs rule from Good Friday until 30th September. Some people didn't think this applied to them as we saw four dog walkers in a short space of time near to the pier. Refreshments at the edge of the beach selling delicious ice cream, beach goods and souvenirs.

Beautiful clean beach, with beach huts you can hire. Parking is good and there's parking for motor homes too in certain places. Lots of activities happening over the summer. It's family friendly and quiet. Blackpool is busy and boisterous.

Fantastic afternoon/evening at the kite flying festival. Lots going on, kites illuminated at dusk, fun fair on the beach, Pier open till late with great views of all the kites and a Fish n Chippy supper. What's not to love ❤️

Such a beautiful, large, relatively quiet beach with a fantastic horizon, nice sand and dog-friendly. Car park charges are reasonable. Highly recommended for families and the Beachcomber Café is lovely but a little on the high side on price.

Beautiful beach we visited to see the kite festival which was amazing!! Lots of entertainment lots to do, rides and food stalls too. The beach itself is very relaxing must visit spot perfect for a hot day!!

Went for the kite festival - amazing -excellent for all age groups. Plenty to see and do. And a good beach for the kids to play on .

Could hardly see any water although we spent all day fooling ourselves ' yep there on the horizon on that side it's shimmering' 😆 Beautiful garden area and lots for kids to do e.g splash parks, golf, trampolining etc. Amazing amount of seats everywhere ❣️ Inexpensive tea and great variety of food! Lots of dry sand area to enjoy too

Gorgeous. Soft sandy beaches, plenty of things to do, Ice cream to die for! donuts, coffee, hot chocolate, beer, wine, cakes, sandwiches, chippy, cafe, pier with arcades. Spud hut, dand dunes, crazy golf, leisure centre. Ample parking. Scenes are amazing

Good selection of arcade games for all ages. There is also a cafe and a Spud Hut on the actual pier which are reasonably priced and there's plenty of seating to enjoy the view!

There's no sea when we reached there 🤪🤪 Amusements are available, but prices are little bit high. Fish & chips, ice creams are tasty. Good thing is the kids can play, make sand castles and ride on fancy donkeys. Donkeys are hired and have few rides is enjoyable. Shovels are available in reasonable prices. But beware of tides which is dangerous and luckily Royal life guards are there to save us.

Great little park up near here at the carpark. Only a short walk away. It was about £20 for the night which isn’t the cheapest but it was quiet, safe and a very short walk into town… 🚐 🍻 🌞 🏝️ 🌊

We were visiting St Annes and dropped by this pier. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed the ocean view. It has stores, amusement, restaurants, and ice cream shops.

About the first three quarters of the pier is completely enclosed housing a cafe, a donut kiosk and a large amusement arcade. The last quarter of the pier is open air if you fancy a wee stroll to the end. There’s also another smaller cafe at the far end too. Free to enter although the toilets in the arcade cost 20p.

Our first visit and it's lovely inside. Well looked after. Lots of 2p machines so not expensive.

Enjoyed a lovely meal here on a sunny afternoon, there wasn’t a table available when we arrived but they booked us in for an hour later. The service from Scott was fab ⭐️ whole experience was enjoyable.

We went for the Wednesday two courses for £30 and were surprised at how good the food was. We are both veggie and had the falafel/paella - both really nice. Perhaps an additional veggie starter could have tempted us into the 3 course menu - we felt that was slightly lacking. We absolutely loved how friendly the staff were. Every single staff member had a great blend of kindness, politeness and professionalism. Overall it was a great way to get out for quality time whilst still not breaking the bank.

Ego: A Father's Day Feast to Remember Ego Mediterranean Restaurant provided the perfect setting for a pre-Father's Day celebration with my daughter, a delightful precursor to the actual day's commitments. From start to finish, our meal was a testament to culinary excellence and impeccable service. To commence our gastronomic journey, I opted for the calamari, a choice I did not regret. Each piece was cooked to perfection, boasting a remarkable freshness and a light, superbly seasoned batter that enhanced rather than overwhelmed. The portion was judiciously sized, setting an exemplary standard for the courses to follow. My daughter, a discerning connoisseur of soups, selected the leek and potato soup of the day. Her endorsement was unequivocal; she declared it outstanding and a dish she would readily reorder, a testament to its comforting yet refined flavour. For our main courses, the standard remained exceptionally high. My Pizza Gamberoni was a triumph. The sourdough base, a hallmark of quality, was perfectly cooked, providing a delightful foundation for the generous and exceptionally fresh prawns. For those with a penchant for the briny depth of anchovies, this pizza comes highly recommended. My daughter's choice, the cod and mussels, encountered a slight hiccup with the absence of mussels. However, our waiter, Dominic, handled this with admirable grace, offering prawns as a substitute. This proved to be a serendipitous exchange, as the dish was nothing short of excellent, with the cod perfectly flaky and moist. To conclude our memorable meal, I indulged in a classic Irish coffee, a warming and satisfying end. My daughter's cherry and almond crumble with custard was equally impressive, a comforting and flavourful dessert that capped off a superb dining experience. Our evening was made all the more enjoyable by the exceptional service provided by Dominic. His attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine warmth elevated our visit from merely a meal to a truly delightful occasion. If every dining experience were graced with such a dedicated and personable server, the world of culinary exploration would undoubtedly be a more consistently pleasurable one. Ego, with its superb food and outstanding staff like Dominic, has certainly earned its place as a must-visit establishment.

I went with my friends to celebrate my birthday and had such a fantastic time! The food was gorgeous and we were served by Kelsey, Jess and James, who honestly couldn't have been nicer. They made the whole experience so lovely and enjoyable, and the team also surprised me with a little birthday dessert and song after they realised I was there celebrating! I've been there so many times before and will definitely keep going back, I can't recommend it enough.

Absolutely amazing meal, the food, ambience and service was amazing. Special shout out to Dominic, he truly made my mothers birthday a memorable one, even down to the little candle on her pudding (lovely touch, he remembered as I mentioned it briefly at the start). Would highly recommend Ego to anyone, for a relaxed lunch, first date or family meal - it’s perfect.

Exceptional experience here for our Granny’s birthday. The food was AMAZING! The team were so accomodating and made the whole experience so special. Thank you so much to the whole team, especially James, Kelsey and Jess!! X

Our server, James and the other staff were lovely. Fabulous food in a very pleasant environment

First time at this Toby Carvery, first time we've been to any for a few years. We ordered a couple of regular carveries with the wonderful staff who looked after us at our table. Upon receiving the beef from the lad who appeared to be in carving training his tutor instructed him to cut it thinner in the future. Now that lad was doing just fine, and I only just about received sufficient, if I had been the next customer behind I would not have been happy. Mash potato was awful, carrots and peas tasteless, Yorkshire pudding and green beans decent. It will be a few years again before I visit a Toby carvery.

Visited 12/04/25 and it was probably the nicest breakfast from a Toby Carvery I have ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection and was hot, fresh and tasty! Excellent availability across all dishes. Restaurant was clean and the service was great. Be sure to validate your parking via the machine on entry for free parking.

What a terrible experience We came here as the Blackpool one had shut! Waited along time our meal tickets and then for food to be refreshed the Yorkshire puddings looked like pancakes It was evident staff were off as the one guy was running around like a headless chicken the place was filfty as you can see in photos lots of dirty tables around I wanted to help him clear them! We could enjoy our meal as my anxiety was through the roof and the uncleanliness of the place! Bring Toby Blackpool back please

I have to start with the incredible service we received here. Tegan was very helpful taking me through the allergy menu for the carvery to let me know what contained milk and egg. This has been the best service experience I have had ever. The food was very tasty. Turkey moist. Gammon tender and juicy. Roasties crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. The stuffing was tasty, but was not firm. I think it needed cooking a bit longer. The parsnips and Carrots were fresh and beautifully cooked, not mushy, a bit of a bite. The gravy was very rich and moreish. Also, I wanted to mention the size of the Yorkshire pudding wrap for anyone considering it.

Had a great meal at Toby Carvery! It was a busy night for them and they were so professional and organised. We were looked after by the wonderful Jillian, who even though she was having to run around alot was kind, patient and smiley. She recommended dishes and deals to us and was an absolute joy to interact with! Having worked in the service industry for awhile i know how important it is to treat our servers with respect and kindness and Jillian returned the same sentiment to us the whole night. She is an asset to your team!!!

We visit often and this is by far the best carvery in the Blackpool/St Annes area. We particularly enjoy it when Michelle is waiting on the tables. She is always really friendly and professional but also great fun. We often take our friend who has a disability and significant special needs and she always makes a big effort with him despite his peculiarities.

Good Toby Carvery, good service and usually selections of both food and drink you'd expect. You must enter your vehicle registration when you arrive to avoid parking fines. Great location. Outdoor area could do with some tlc, but understand that would be difficult with being a beach side location. All in all, a great place to enjoy a roast dinner 🍽.

Thank you to Veli and all the staff for the beautiful meal for my 50th get together with all my family and friends. You looked after us all so well. Your hospitality and attention to detail made our experience truly enjoyable. I also appreciate being able to use your venue, it was the perfect setting, and everything was handled so smoothly. Thank you again for your kindness and excellent service. We look forward to visiting again soon!

First impressions count…A very warm welcome from the staff on arrival, which set the tone for the evening. Staff were attentive, but not intrusive and the food was excellent. We had the mixed platter and left feeling full after having enjoyed a wonderful meal. We will definitely visit again if in Lytham.

This place is amazing, the food was outstanding and the girl who served us was lovely. would highly recommend trying this restaurant if you are anywhere near

Lovely restaurant with fantastic staff and tasty food. Have been visiting regularly and always have a wonderful time. Meals are large portions, always gorgeous and fresh. The owner, Veli, and one server in particular, Erin, are always a delight to interact with and incredibly willing to accommodate. The mixed mezze is a huge favourite

Food taste great, service is fast and spot on Spacious dining area with a beautiful sea view. Lamb chops is my recommendation. We were walked in not made any appointment and welcomed by Veli. Would recommend to friends and family.

We dined here on Saturday evening and enjoyed everything about this wonderful restaurant. It oozes a warm, welcoming family atmosphere and it’s a real holiday experience. The food was delicious and we spilled out onto the outside area and watched the sunset. Thank you to the staff and excellent chefs who are clearly visible to the guests. It was wonderful seeing our dishes being cooked in front of us and the warm welcome and farewell were an added bonus.

Had a recent lovely meal, with friends. A nice welcome and friendly staff is very welcoming. We all had something different to eat, hot and very tasty food. Nothing is too much trouble. Will definitely recommend and we will return.

Great place to visit with a nice variety of food. Lots of vegan and gluten free options. Staff were very friendly. Worth a visit.

If I was to sum this visit up in one word it would be impressive. Have been meaning to visit for a while now. Upon entering first impressions were very good. We entered into a large unused dining area. Lunches were being served off to the side in another large room. 4 or 5 steps down into it which would make access for wheelchair user almost impossible. The room looked immaculate. Very tidy and clean. I had already looked at the menu online and I ordered from the 2 course lunch time menu priced at £ 15.95. You have a choice of 7 starters and 8 mains. I ordered Calarmari to start with and a ham and mushroom pizza for my mains. My fellow diner ordered a Tiggis pizza from the a la carte menu at £13.90. We also ordered a portion of chips at £4.95. For drinks we ordered a pint of San Miguel. This was only £5.50. Many pubs are charging more than that today. I ordered a large lime and soda. For this I was charged £1.10. That’s ridiculously cheap. My starter was excellent. Good sized portion and very tasty. The pizzas the same. Plenty of toppings. Lovely crisp base. Chips as well were excellent. However, they were missed off the bill which I only noticed much later. But don’t t be fooled into thinking they tasted so good because we got them free. They really were excellent chips. By now I was getting full but had to try a dessert. I ordered the lemon tart at £6.40. Again this was lovely and very well presented. Just as an aside. When I placed my order as the server was walking away he sneezed. No tables around. That made me a little anxious but as soon as he got to the bar he sanitised his hands then washed them. Like I said the place looked spotless and it looks like hygiene is set at a high standard. We ordered 2 cappuccinos to finish. Only £3.10 each. Good to see no sugar rationing here. Service had been excellent. We got the impression that this is one establishment that takes good service seriously. Unfortunately it looked like they close at 2pm when the fixed price menu finished. I thought they stayed open all through the afternoon having checked online before our visit. That might need updating. But they never pushed us to leave or complained even though it was well after 2 when we left. Only 4 stars yes. But we will definitely be visiting again and, if our next visit matches this one, I will rewrite my review and gladly give 5 stars.

Amazing Italian!!! The absolutely best olives I have ever had ... even compared to dining in Italy! Host and serving staff both friendly and attentive without being too over the top. Food was out of this world.... more like 10 Stars 🌟 I can highly recommend a visit!

First time visit and I am sure not my last! The place has great decor, great service and amazing food. Authentic Italian food served by real Italian people! - now I have been to this restaurant on numerous occasions and every time it has been amazing! The food quality is always amazing the ambiance is buzzing. The place is never empty so book in advance if you can. Will be back soon

Had another Fantastic meal here tonight as soon as you walk in to the front desk you are always made to feel very welcome with the excellent and very funny service very much like you feel part of the family !! We had garlic breads to start then 2 spaghetti Carbonaras and I had the Inferno Pizza 🍕 😋 which was the best pizza I've had in years top Pizza dough and incredible ingredients Pepperoni chorizo Nduju chillies oregano and lovely Mozzarella cheese then we shared a baked vanilla cheesecake with ice cream and chocolate sauce yum yum !! Give this family run restaurant a chance you won't be disappointed very cheap compared to some restaurants in this area 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great food, highly recommended.

Lovely restaurant always go here for a meal when we are down . Great staff and always made to feel welcome and very looked after.

Seafood feasting at Spago, they are currently running some amazing offers Sunday - Friday (well worth checking out!). Seafood was definitely the theme of the night - everything here is so fresh and full of flavour. I started with the Spagó king prawns pan-fried in garlic, chilli, paprika butter & lemon, served with their house focaccia. The prawns were so juicy, with the perfect tangy sauce. I also tried the San Marzano tomato & basil bruschetta, those tomatoes were unreal, so fresh and juicy. For main I had the Linguini Spagó - packed with seafood, chilli, garlic & plum tomatoes. Such a generous portion, I couldn't finish it all, but every bite was fresh and delicious. And of course, no Italian meal is complete without a tomato garlic bread on the side. If you love seafood, this place is a must-visit!

We had a random trip to Lytham and popped in for an early evening glass of wine. The setting was fabulous,the staff were friendly. We had to eat here too! So glad we did. The venison was sublime and the tuna was absolutely delicious. We will definitely head out this way again. Thanks

Went to Spago for lunch, had the Bolognese Calzone which was great (could have done with a sharper knife). Was hoping for the two pasta dishes for the price of one in the autumn deals but it hadn't started yet, which was disappointing.

Met for a pre theatre Sunday Roast with friends, couldn’t fault the food 10/10 for the Roast lamb dinner. Unfortunately the service let it down, we had a busy, apparently overworked, aggressive and quite scary waiter! By the end of the meal we still hadn’t received the jug of water we’d requested twice! His manner left a lot to be desired. In a part of Lytham with a great choice of eateries you can’t afford to treat customers like he treated us. I won’t revisit.

Last time I visited was with friends for brunch. The breakfast was plentiful and tasty. The breakfast bagel was ample for a brunch and excellent quality bacon. Table service efficient and friendly. A favourite place to dine and especially the covered and private outside tables.

On arrival we were greeted by a grumpy gentleman that announced our table wasn’t ready and was told abruptly to sit at the bar. Once we did we were met by an even grumpier (if not angry tbh), waiter that told us we couldn’t sit there and to go further down the bar, before changing his mind and adding that we should go sit at the table in the window and wait to be seated with a dismissive wave of his hand. Next there was a loud and uncomfortable scrap at the till between two waitress over where waiting customers were seated. The food was lovely but we had three waitress serve us and only one young girl was friendly and courteous. Waitress two never so much as looked us in the eye and was matter of fact and rude and waitress number three practically threw our food at us and when was asked kindly if when she had a moment we could have the bill she exclaimed that if she could get a free moment she would go home …. Which we finally did ..with relief and leaving no tip … which is totally not of our nature, and left us with a nasty taste in the mouth about our whole experience

Authentic Italian, beautiful restaurant, delicious food. Cant wait to return 🙌
