Very pleasantly surprised with quality of food and cosy surroundings. Great 2 corse offer on Thursdays, however 1 course was enough for us. Next time with my boys who will definitely do the offer.

Once again really enjoyed the meal. It’s nice to sit and relax in the lounge for a drink first before going through for the meal.
Our only disappointment was the dog menu. Last year Humphrey enjoyed proper chicken and vegetables and we were really looking forward to treating him.
But the menu has changed now to dog food. Dogs shouldn’t be given dog food that they’re not used to, new dog food has to be introduced slowly over a few weeks as it can upset their stomach. So we had to pass, and felt sad for Humphrey and relieved he didn’t understand. Fortunately I always carry his own food when we go for meal so he was ok. But he would have enjoyed chicken and veg more!

Very good food and excellent service.
My only comment would be that the food was a little slow to the table. It didn’t bother us as we we were talking and the gap between the main and dessert was welcomed. However, if you are in a bit of a hurry this may not be what you need.
Will definitely be returning at some point soon.

The food choice we had on a Thursday £30 deal was impressive, even though we just went for the JFK burgers - and peri peri fries very tasty, would recommend. 5 Star with Hettie being an added delight.

Not one to usually give 10/10 for everything but the service, drinks and food were all top quality. The burgers were absolutely insane!! Raffy who was serving us was so lovely and attentive as well and the assistant manager who’s name I’ve gone blank on, he was so lovely and polite, even recommended a few things on the menu to us.

Beautiful room and great service as we arrived and at the table.Disappointed that some of the Yorkshire puddings were quite burnt, one of the chocolate brownies was basically a small pile of crumbs, whereas the others were a proper slice of brownie ( I would have complained, but he had eaten it when by the time I had turned around!!!), and finally, I had ordered a dog meal advertised as rice , chicken and peas, but when it came it was scraps of the roast chicken dinner, with very little chicken. I believe I paid £6.95 for this, so I hope it was not the scraps off someone’s plate.
Everyone said they had a lovely evening, and I did not want to make a fuss on my Mum’s special birthday, so did not complain at the time, as we did enjoy ourselves , but , I did spend around £400 on the meal so did expect a certain standard to be met across all the dishes.

I ordered an afternoon tea for my grandparent's anniversary, and the food was amazing. We did have some sour clotted cream; however, they were quick to amend this. The service was great, and we will definitely return in the future! Highly recommended.

Really lovely hotel! Beautiful decor and really friendly and helpful staff.
Food was delicious and the cocktails were amazing!
My partner had ordered an old fashioned cocktail which is difficult to do well, but the young gent who served us did it perfectly!
Would definitely stay here again

We sat outside for Sunday lunch, the food was delicious and the service was really good, the only thing missing was some sort of background music to add to the atmosphere when sat outside

Enjoyed afternoon tea overall well presented and good selection of sandwiches and cakes. However the scones were very dry and the jam and cream was very sparse for two people

The service and the food was amazing can’t be faulted.
The reason for 9/10 for overall experience is, we didn’t get Yorkshire puddings on our roast dinner and although the waiter apologised and said he would tell the chef nothing more was said about it

We really enjoyed the fine dining at The Lawrence Hotel. The food was delicious, it was a great atmosphere and the customer service from the owner and the waiter was to an excellent standard. Me and my wife will be returning definitely and we will be recommending The Lawrence to our family and friends!

A really lovely Sunday lunch ..roast beef was great quality along with other ingredients. A lovely venue warm and welcoming with attentative service. Will definitely return for the Sunday roast and hopefully try another dining option. Only criticism would be that the wine list was a little limited and pricey..that said we enjoyed the wine we had

Voted as if had paid full price, so as to be more meaningful.
Plates were hot, that's good.
Unsuitable blunt knives for lamb, had to go find waiter to get sharper ones.
Sticky toffee pud quite poor. If tasted blind wouldn't have thought it was stp.
Overall not quite as good as we expected, given the rep online.

As this was an outside experience and a cold one at that, the Lawrence did do well for trying yo make us as warm as possible but as it was open on 3 sides as per the guidance we were all a little drafty. The food was amazing as usual. Some background music may have been nice in helping dull the traffic noise and provide a little atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

We enjoyed the food, which could have been a little warmer. We have booked to come again as we thought it's worth another go, however we would request that we be seated in either the bar area or the Green room as when we where there on Sunday afternoon we got seated in and area which was very much like a wide corridor with people coming and going constantly.

Hi we do come and dine a lot with yourselves and enjoy. I had the chicken with fondant potato (it was still raw in the middle) I informed the waitress who took the whole dish away. By the time it returned my husband had finished his food which by the way was beautiful

The lounge area was cold, we had to keep our coats on.
Food was nice, one of the group thought the veg was a little under done. My sweet was sherry trifle brule, in which I have never tasted a sherry trifle like it, neither a hint of trifle or sherry.
Ambience was very nice but after 8 pm we were alone we also had to ask for more heating in the restaurant and although the waiter never made us feel uncomfortable we felt they were waiting for us to go so they could close up.
One of the group has said she will not be returning to eat again. That makes it 3 out of 4.

2 courses for £15 was OK. Both starters and main were good. I had chicken and felt a sauce or dip would have enhanced the dish. It was a tad noisy as there was a party of 14 in but nothing the owners could avoid. Service was good. I had a dessert for afters Lawrence Eton Mess which I felt was pricey at £6.95. It didn't contain strawberries which I expected rather fruits of the forest but maybe that is the Lawrence's take on it, it didn't contain ice cream either so a rather small portion for the price.
