Lawns At Thornton Hall

Fantastic food, cooked perfectly and presented beautifully . The staff were friendly and attentive without intruding. Cosy atmosphere. Couldn’t fault it. We’ve already recommended it to others.

Disgusted, think it was the leftovers from a previous days wedding. We had the Roast Beef it was shocking for the price the price. The staff were very attentive I,m sure they must of been ashamed having to serve our meal.

Had a lovely festive afternoon tea on Saturday. The quality of the food was excellent and the staff were friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. We have done this for the last few years to get into the festive spirit and we weren’t disappointed! Ver carta

A very poor evening meal to go with our stay in the adequate hotel. A weak menu, mostly steak. Very poor service. Seemed confused by a request for vinegar and mustard. We were still waiting when we gave up. Disappointing food. One meal was inedible. Very overpriced, obviously aiming for fine dining but falling woefully short. Fortunately there’s good pub food just down the road.

Visited here with my 5 sisters (one of whom was treating all of us) and was rather disappointed after looking forward to it so much. The service wasn't the best. Staff seemed uninterested, never interacted with us at all. Food was average, at best. Nothing was outstanding. For £29 per person, I would have expected the tea and coffee to be unlimited but nobody came to ask if anyone wanted refills (we wouldn't have even minded paying extra). The Great Wirral Afternoon Tea is definitely not the description I would use here, sadly. It wasn't awful, just wasn't great and the whole place lacked atmosphere.

It takes a lot for me to want to leave a place a negative review but I feel others should know what they’re up against before coming. We Went here as part of the overnight package with access to spa, you get £30 per head off the meal… No complaints re spa and rooms but the meal was awful! For starters the service was so slow, and if you dared asked for anything outside the menu such as a glass of water.. forget it… Twice I had to go in after requesting water which just seemed to be forgotten about. Food was bland and dry also.. for the price of it £18 for a dry piece of chicken an egg and about 10 chips..no sauce at all. So dry! I wouldn’t go back here again Terrible experience! Ver carta

I have dined here in the past and the standard of food was high. My review is intended to provide constructive feedback. I appreciate this is such a difficult time for everyone in this industry. The Lawns has great potential but needs to find its identity. The room is lovely and grand. The staff are enthusiastic, friendly, down to Earth. The menu reads well. I feel the prices are fair and competitive. Sadly, the food, for the most part, was poorly executed. For example, unpleasant bread ‘toasted crutes’ served with the chicken parfait (and a nice onion relish). The ‘ crutes’ do not work, on any level. My salmon (overcooked) with noodles (over salted) no pak choi or spinach (as suggested on t...

We visited on a weekend dinner bed and breakfast deal. You get £30 allowance to spend in the restaurant and that would just about you 2 courses if you are having a Sunday roast. There wasn't enough staff to cover the dining room. We waited over 10 mins for someone to take our drinks order, then a further 10 mins to bring them to us. The service was so slow. Our food came out after we had drank our drinks, so we ordered another... that took ages too. The meal was nice, but very small. I got 3 small pieces of beef, 1 carrot! 1 tenderstem and something which resembled a pulp of some kind. 3 roasties and a squirt of jus. It wasn't the best. For desert we ordered a cheese sharing board. It was th...

I booked in for Sunday lunch with my dad but nearly cancelled when I read some of the most recent reviews. But I needn't have worried everything was really good in terms of food, service, and atmosphere. We had scallops to start and they were perfectly cooked in a delicious garlic sauce. Then we had chicken liver parfait which was incredible so smooth and rich and perfectly complemented by the brambles and sauce. I then had sea bream and my dad had mushroom risotto. Both very tasty although if I had one complaint I'd say the risotto was a tiny bit salty. The mushrooms (hen of the woods and chanterelle) were delicious. I then had lemon choux which was a lovely flavour bomb very sweet and sour... Ver carta
