Red Fort – Lytham
Away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, Lytham holds essential ingredients. The Windmill, Lytham Green, Lytham Hall and the River Ribble estuary overlooking the Welsh mountains are all worthy of a postcard. A host of up-market restaurants will tickle your tastebuds.

Red Fort – LythamEnjoyed our meal here. Had the new sausage and bean stew to start and a Romana pixzza to follow. Peroni is a great beer and the Barbera wine was tip top!
Pizza Express – LythamI was in Lytham with some friends over the weekend.and was told about this place...It is a lovely restaurant , and at 7.30 on a sat night where able to get a table for 4..and it was busy. the food was lovely , and the service was ok. We asked for the bill and where about to pay, and noticed some overcharges on the bill for wine and food that we did not have..A sour taste was then left...we jumped a taxi back to our hotel , and he asked where we had been , and when we told him , he said 'I hope you checked your bill !!!' is this a case of Buyer beware...?
Portofino – LythamWe go to the restaurant twice a month ,but the standards are going down,and this slide should be halted. The food last Friday,when 6 of us dined, was frankly not up to the standard we come to expect. Six starters,six main courses and not one compliment says it all.
Portofino – Lythamabsolutely shocking food was frozen in the middle asked the staff and they said only one meal on menu was cooked entirely from fresh.
Ship and Royal – LythamWe have been to the Red Fort several times and each time has been great, you cannot fault the food, service or the decor, we will definitely keep going back
Red Fort – LythamThis Caffe Nero is superb. The staff are *so* friendly and eager to please, the coffee's good, and the ambience very pleasant. I recommend it!
Caffe Nero – LythamChu's is just what Lytham has needed. Authentic Chinese fayre instead of the normal 'Take Away' type. Lovely people too. Well done.
Chus – LythamI could even get a table on Valentine's Day.... I called and no one bothered to pick up, when they did they were very unhelpful and didn't sound at all bothered whether I was a customer or not. I ask for a table for 8pm, much sighing on their end? was told they only did a banquet (I didn't ask what the menu was?). I was then told to leave a number they may (MAY?) get back to me. Its a special occasion, its Valentine's Day as if I MAY leave booking a table to chance, no effort was made on their part. For a new business, a new restaurant it was pathetic first impression of what service i MAY of been given, I predict this restaurant will be closed within 6 months with crap service like that, shame....
Chus – LythamI couldn't even book a table for Valentines day! I called and waited quite along time until someone bothered to answer the phone. When someone did they were very unprofessional, I asked for a table for 8pm Valentines day, lots of sighing then I was told they only did a banquet on Valentines day (I didn't ask what was on the menu?), so what give me a table! Next I was told they might call me back as they couldn't be sure they had a table, what pathetic service! I said thanks but no thanks, as we all know its a special occasion and as a married man I won't leave whether I had a table to chance, I'll take my custom else where thank you For a new business, especially a new restaurant they should at the very least try some good customer service. I predict this place will be closed within 6 months, shame....
Chus – LythamSteaks, wine and service were all good. Not quite the usual buzzy atmosphere but not surprising considering the moist weather!
Portofino – LythamI went to Chus last Saturday. I enjoyed the food and the people were really friendly. The place is cool and funky but a little cold. The wine list could be improved. All in all its well worth a visit.
Chus – LythamLove the new supermarket with its restaurant upstairs. They even have a gallery in this flagship store. Great for breakfast and the outside balcony terrace catches the sun til late. give it a whirl!
Artisan @ Booths – LythamWe had a party of 12 for my wife's birthday and picked the Table d'hote menu which, incidentally is £27.50 not £25 as advertised. The choice was good and the food excellent, the staff were attentive without being intrusive and the place itself is comfortable and relaxing. I thought the prices a bit on the high side for a set 3 course meal and the drink was expensive but overall we had a very pleasant and satisfying evening, we had provided a table decoration, some balloons and a cake which the staff were only too happy to assist us with. Would definitely go again but only on a special occasion.
Clifton Arms Hotel – LythamThe Clifton Arms should be on everyones 'To-Do' list! I've often walked past longing to be the one sat in the window, all smiles and relaxing, sipping tea from a China cup and saucer. When my little sister came to stay it was the perfect opportunity to indulge and leave hectic life behind for a while. So Afternoon Tea it was. And what an absolute pleasure. Good old fashioned service by immaculately dressed waiters. Impossibly fresh and mouthwatering sandwiches, filled to perfection and divine cakes. Not to mention the moorish toast and Wilkin and Sons Jams. My sister can't wait for her next visit and neither can I because the log fire will be burning! Heaven! We may even opt for the Champagne Afternoon tea next time.
Clifton Arms Hotel – LythamAVOID this restaurant - We were 'booked' in for dinner for 4 upstairs last Sat nightfor my wifes birthday. Arrived on time and could see it looked like chaos, we were then told they had no booking down for us and we could sit in the bar and they would come and get us. While we thought about it 2 other guests from different parties came and complained that they were booked in for 7pm and 7.30pm and had not been seated, It was now 8.45!!! SO even if they had our name down, we didn't have a chance of eating for 2 hours. The woman on reception didn't seem bothered and even remarked she was "getting it in the neck tonight" Very poor has really gone down hill
Portofino – LythamWe love this guy's pizzas - hot, fresh, very tasty. Thin crust and generous toppings. We particularly like the early week BOGOF deal on large pizzas which give 2 x 12" pizzas for between £8 and £9 or so. Well recommended!
Lytham Pizza Company – LythamI really should learn the lesson, and stay out of Caffe Nero joints. I always end up waiting, and waiting, first to place my order, and then waiting, waiting, waiting for the damned coffee to arrive. At those prices, table service would help but I'm becoming seriously frustrated with operations like this that fritter away my time as if it were of no consequence.
Caffe Nero – LythamBottomless Brunch, £40 for 2 hours of selected food and drinks. Available 12pm-5pm, seven days a week.
