When we got there for our Mother's Day meal, I didn't expect to be put in the corner away from the main restaurant area. The menu was a bit confusing as it appeared to be a sit down menu, but then were told it was a buffet. They didn't have my wife's (the mother) drink in stock, so she just had lemon water. It was a nice place, but didn't feel welcome.

Open table menu for this restaurant is wrong! The menu itself at the Lytton was very limited with not many choices. Disappointed about having seen an old menu on Opentable but staff did give a 15%discount.

We booked this ‘restaurant’ for my mums birthday. It is a lovely restaurant with really well cooked food, the thing that wasn’t mentioned is that it is in a retirement village. Essentially the restaurant caters for residence and therefore there was only one meat at the carvery and only just enough food to feed everyone. The food was lovely and cooked really well but we wouldn’t go there again as it did feel like we were intruding. I think the main bulk of other customers are people who use the spa. On a Sunday the only food available is the carvery which again wasn’t very clear.

Wonderful, well-prepared food in a glorious well-appointed restaurant with wonderful views. There was plenty to tempt on the menu and very attentive but unhurried service. All in all, highly recommended and most suitable for a civilised lunch. Will certainly visit again. Their afternoon teas also looked appealing.

We enjoyed our news years day lunch at The Lytton although we had trouble locating it. Once you are aware it's in The Audley Club in the new estate it wasn't a problem. The food was good and the service was friendly and attentive. A lovely setting with very comfortable seating.
