The Lane Restaurant

I really like this little spot, nice decor, good size, open kitchen. Toilets are situated upstairs but I think there is a lift for them also. Reasonably priced menu, I had the steak, which I asked for medium rare but it came medium, I decided to eat it anyway as it did look good and tastes good too. My mother had the burger and she very much enjoyed it. Great service. We ate at 1230 on a Saturday afternoon and it was very quiet inside. Completely forgot to take photos of the food 🥴

EDIT: Attended again recently. We still enjoyed our visit, and the food was very nice as always. The wait and kitchen staff were slammed, though. A very busy Friday evening, and it was clear they were struggling to keep up with a full house. There were long waits between courses, and after our initial drinks on arrival, it was very hard to get anyone's attention to order more, so we went without and declined dessert. Many tables surrounding us were in the same situation with long waits and lack of check-ins. Feel this was an under scheduling/staffing issue as I want to make it clear the staff themselves were amazing, polite, friendly, and trying very hard to spread themselves between large sections. Previous visit: Always go here when we have a special occasion to celebrate. Tonight was for my husbands 30th. As always, they don't disappoint. Relaxed atmosphere, great services, polite and friendly staff, all topped by delicious food.

The food is incredibly delicious. We ordered the Scallops, Malbar Fish Curry, Chalkstream trout with brown shrimps, and the truffled celeriac mash. The mains were incredible. For dessert we ordered the pistachio soufflé (not in the photo) which was disappointing. The server was a bit rude but not rude enough for me to knock down the rating. As long as you stay away from the pistachio soufflé I’d definitely recommend visiting!
