Lemana - New Forest

Eat terrible and service not much better. avoid this place. the chef looked like he just came back from cleaning a canal and didn't smell much better ...

Weather was great and feet aching so we stopped off at Lemana which is hidden just off the high street. There is nice quiet outside seating at rear so sat outside. Had coffee and tea cakes which set us up nicely for remainder of day....Staff friendly.

Excellent welcoming cafe. Variety of cakes and savouries. Homemade Minestrone soup was excellent. Dorset Apple Cake perfect. All on one level but toilet inaccessible. Excellent covid arrangements. Some outside seating. Staff lovely.

A cute little tucked-away cafe with friendly service. We enjoyed our lunch (sweet potato and coconut soup, quiche with side salad, ear grey tea and hot chocolate) sat outside in the sun. Service could be a tad more attentive and the food a bit more...elevated, but prices were very reasonable.

I know times are not good at the moment but the waitress just tried to put people off by saying that there was 30 minutes waiting time and no seats. (There was some available) we know things are not good at the moment BUT...please try to be helpful. This is no way to act when customers are essential.
