Do give this restaurant a visit. Staff are welcoming and efficient, food is excellent - what more can you ask for!

Upon arrival we received a very warm welcome. All staff we met were very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and professional. Each course was very tasty and well presentation. It was difficult to choose from the menu because there were several dishes we would have...happily eaten. We would certainly recommended Lanes, in my view an exceptionally good experience.More

Booked this lovely hidden away restaurant after looking at reviews for places to eat in Lymington. The staff were incredibly welcoming and the building is really interesting. The lunch menu was amazing value at £30 for 3 courses. My wife had a lovely pasta dish...for starter and I had haggis bon bons with a lovely creamy mash. Main course followed and the fish I had was the best I've ever tasted. The food overall was superb, the staff friendly and it was an excellent experience throughout. Well worth a visit. You won't be disappointed.More

Wonderful food, with a myriad of amazing tastes. Nicola was extremely welcoming. We would thoroughly recommend. Desserts to die for.

We were so excited about going here having read the reviews. Sadly, we ended up very disappointed. The welcome was lovely but the food was poor. It was both bland and lukewarm. Sadly we will be going elsewhere for our last few nights in Lymington.

We picked Lanes on the basis of some good reviews and a very friendly lady who I met when I popped in a few weeks back (when it was closed) with a friend who remembers Lanes from when he was young and wanted to see...if it was still around. The welcome, food and service were excellent. Some quite intriguing dishes on the menu (avocado cheesecake for example which was actually really good) but a very good standard overall. We had an early 6.30pm table & it was a bit quiet then but filled up from 7pm and was quite buzzing when we left. I'd also say it is very good value for money too. Would definitely return.More

We’re staying in Lymington for a week and have eaten out in a different restaurant every evening. We’ve had a good meal every night but tonight was definitely the best. Lanes is run by the husband and wife team of Peter (chef) and Nicola (front...of house). A really interesting menu, beautifully prepared and presented, and served with efficiency and friendliness. Very highly recommended indeed.More

Just a lovely restaurant. The food is cooked and presented beautifully and the service and ambiance is excellent. Seafood gratin was superb, as was the coronation crab meat. Chump of lamb/beef medallions to follow. All exceptional. Would highly recommend.

Had a really fabulous meal here. The service was amazing, really friendly and helpful. The menu was inventive, different and delicious. We will definitely have to go back and try other things. Thank you for a lovely evening.

An amazing experience all round. Easy to book a table line, a warm welcome on arrival and an excellent selection of fine wines and dishes to choose from. We have visited Lanes many times over the years and have never been disappointed. Thank you!

Last night I enjoyed my usual excellent birthday dinner at Lanes. The menu is varied, with plenty of fish for my husband. Friendly service, and beautifully presented food. If it's your birthday (notify before) you will get a pretty birthday platter after your dessert -...such a nice touch even if you are feeling pretty full! It's a husband and wife team, and they work very hard to make your evening a good one.More

Hidden gem well worth the walk up the hill. Fabulous food and excellent service, a real gem of a place. We had fish based meals, all tasty, delicately balanced and beautifully presented finished off with a Caribbean medley of mini desserts, just lovely!
