We went to The Lytton, which is in a beautiful setting, for a birthday afternoon tea with our family. The staff were excellent and really helpful. The selection of sandwiches, scones, cream, jam and cakes were delicious. We would definitely recommend The Lytton and are looking forward to our next visit.

My friend and I visited The Lytton at Chalfont Dene today for an afternoon tea and I had to write a review as soon as we had gotten back as the whole experience was beyond amazing, truly such a find! Firstly the staff here are wonderful, super attentive, friendly and helpful, checking in on us regularly to make sure we were okay, but not rushing us, allowing us to spend as long as we liked, (we are known to spend hours enjoying afternoon tea!) providing regular tea top ups when needed. And the afternoon tea fare itself was absolutely delicious! The bread super soft & the fillings well seasoned on the sandwiches, we inhaled them in record time. And the cakes and scones were scrumptious. We had the loveliest time here and highly recommend to others, we already can't wait to come back!

Always quite variable here. Pretty poor this meal, should have known not to have the Xmas meal at my age! Just sprouts for vegetables and very thick slices of turkey.
Steak was ok, I think I’ve had that before and was ok.
Chocolate mousse - runny, didn’t eat it.
Service is good and of course convenient for visiting elderly relatives.

Visited in early November 2023 to make a booking for an Annual Dinner for a party of 40 in January 2023. Very pleasantly received by restaurant manager, assured this would all be fine, and advised Menu with prices and parking plan would be emailed over following our visit.
The parking plan was important as parking for the restaurant needs to be on site, and with 40 guests we could be requiring 20 places.
Neither a Menu nor a parking plan had materialised as of 5th December 2023, despite two phone calls and four emails to chase it up.
In a telephone call on 23rd November 2023 we were assured the date was OK, and the details were coming that day or the next.
In frustration I spoke directly with the General Manager on 5th December 2023, who indicated it would be difficult to accommodate a party of 40 in the restaurant, and confirmed that in any case the date we thought we had booked was not available as the Village had an owner event taking place. It was further stated that they could not accommodate the number of cars our party would have generated.
The booking management of this restaurant requires review.
This Review relates to a failed booking and not to a meal in the restaurant.
