About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Food Served All day every day 12pm to 9pm

The Lamb Inn is truly a family pub in more ways than one and you are guaranteed a warm and friendly welcome.
At The Lamb we specialise in ‘traditional pub food’, all freshly cooked on the premises using fresh locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.

As well as a regular menu featuring a wide range of dishes, including steaks, pasta, fish, curries and jacket potatoes, there are daily specials written up on boards around the pub. There's also a weekly special, where one of the most popular meals on the menu is available for just £5.99. Tea and coffee are available all day.

On Sundays we always offer the traditional choice of roast beef, lamb or chicken.

Dogs are also welcome if kept on leads.

    Very pleasant Sunday lunch. The rack of lamb was cooked perfectly and fell off the bone. Good roast potatoes. Yorkshire pudding could have been a bit crisper. The vegetables were frozen, and rather bog standard, but cooked well. Lovely desserts. Staff were pleasant and helpful, with no rush.

    I had assumed a Sunday roast would consist of edible meat. Not sure what the idea behind serving steak with a roast is but I hoped it would resemble a beef roast dinner. Unfortunately not- the steak was tasteless and very tough- i couldn’t eat it all because of this. My partner had chicken which was very dry and also inedible. Potatoes were obviously frozen and I’m guessing deep fat cooked. To top it all the gravy was also tasteless. Veg was ok. Yorkshire was also out of a packet. I had high hopes for this meal as it’s a lovely pub.

    Food was fairly good and ok for the price, but they had a singer on that wasn’t all that good. I think the microphone was set up wrong and you couldn’t hear her vocal range properly. We left before dessert as we couldn’t take the volume any longer
