Just popped in for a pint and maybe a bite to eat. Only 3 people in here. Ordered a Directors which was ok and then made the mistake of ordering lunch. The menu had today's date on it, so cause for optimism wasnot unfounded. Ordered roast pork. It came stone cold.A revolting thick gravy clung to the meat. The roast spuds looked like they'd been cooked last week and the vegetables likewise. Asked for a refund and got my money back.
The east european barmaid looked a bit non-plussed, as if this was a daily occurrence.
So, to sum up: Lovely old fashioned boozer, no music or tv or fruit machines. Bliss. The food though, pure hell !

Worth a visit for the rather splendid interior, especially the island bar with the etched glass reversible screens. The seating either side of the bar has seemingly hundreds of old actor/actress portraits. Otherwise there is wood panelling to the walls, red boarded ceiling, cushioned bench seating. The rear area is set at a slightly lower level. A door leads out to a tiny rear courtyard.
There was an impressive (for Youngs) guest range, with Titanic Iceberg, St Austell Tribute and Deuchers IPA supplementing the Ordinary, Special and Bombardier.
One minor grumble again noted by others was that only one person was serving leading to a bit of a queue building up.
One can only hope that The Lamb will remain untouched by The Wells/Youngs interior design team.

Most recent visit was perfectly acceptable - possibly because, as an earlier reviewer said, Saturday evenings are now very quiet. It's much less special than it used to be, indeed verging on the ordinary, although I was able to enjoy Titanic Iceberg as an expensive guest beer.

Not sure where this pub fits into the strategising for the Youngs estate - too small, listed and quirky for the stripped pine makeover. Next visit will be interesting.

Have been to this pub a few times before and found the beer and the staff very good and always lots of customers, alas this time the place was pretty empty and we got a seat straight away which was unusual for a saturday night. My husband stood for an age at the bar only to be served by some disinterested staff serving a disinteresting pint.
What has happened to the guys behind the bar dressed in black and sooo speedy serving.
Dont mind paying £3.48 for a pint but not anymore here.

I hate to say it, but I think the Lamb is going downhill fast. been coming in here for ten happy years, but the last couple of trips have been a big letdown.

First, they had a really great barman who's left - he looked a bit like Dobbie the house elf - but was incredibly efficient. You barely had to move from your seat and a bottle of Kew Gold/ Champion would find its way to the counter ready to be opened.

Secondly, someone deliberately installed a new tartan carpet.

Thirdly, the new Eastern European barstaff at random at best. Set out a drinks order and what you get, the measures for spirit drinkers, and what you pay seems to vary throughout the evening.

A terrible pity, as it used to be a great pub.
