Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Lymington

The food was ok but portion size wasn’t great if I’m honest I still felt hungry afterwards i do understand that prices would be high so can’t complain about that the staff did a good job and very professional

Would definitely come back when its warm to enjoy the outdoor scenery.

We visited Careys Manor for Dinner at Zen Garden for my Husbands birthday. We were greeted by a very friendly man, who wished my Husband a ‘happy birthday’ on arrival, we were then given the choice of tables where we would like to sit. Complimentary prawn crackers are given per table. Great selection of food on menu. We went for Sea Bass starter & Lamb Shank main. Both were delicious and the portions were generous. My husband was treated to a complimentary Sorbert with a candle for his birthday which was a lovely touch. Overall 10/10, will be returning

The food was lovely, but I have had better afternoon teas. The restaurant was pretty empty, so no real 'atmosphere' and I am not a fan of Birchall tea bags - I much prefer loose teas. Overall, it was a nice experience and the staff could not be more helpful and accommodating- just that the whole experience is a little lacklustre.

Great meal in lovely location. Restaurant elegant with a relaxed atmosphere. Menu not large but had a good varied choice. Food well cooked and beautifully presented. Reasonably priced. Only criticism would be the lack of vegetables with the meal - they were more of a garnish. Would have liked a side dish of veg especially as the meat portions were quite large. Would definitely recommend.
