| Unfortunately I must agree with most of the other comments. We drove from Christchurch via Cadnam for a beer in the Cuckoo at Hamptworth last week and as the Cuckoo does not serve food in the evening during the week we called in to the Lamb for a bite. The pub was not busy but the young lady behind the bar did not have the manners to look at us let alone speak to us when I ordered our drinks ( perhaps because we are three old codgers in our late fifties and beneath her radar) and the landlord - who was chatting to one of his mates - looked at us - straight through us and he, also, failed to acknowledge us at all. The food and beer were fine and the young waitress at the table was a sweetie. However, in my book, if the landlord's indifferent or worse attitude is to be perpetuated by his bar staff then the Lamb is a fail. I run a retail shop and it is the first objective of my staff to meet customers in the eye with a welcome or they can find employment elsewhere. Whilst I recognise that this behaviour is not unusual in pubs run by management and disenchanted staff, this guy is surely running his own pub? Perhaps he cleaned up in summer with the holiday trade. We certainly won't be calling in again. Have not left a rating as I don't rate the Lamb at all. Never mind, we proceeded to the Cuckoo where as ever the welcome was warm and the beer excellent.

| Lambs to the slaughter in Nomansland, probably not fit for females either. What about the quality of ale in this wild part of Wiltshire? nokegthanks - 25 Jun 2011 20:48 |
| Never had a more rude experience! All the Bar staff were sharp, rude and very unwelcoming. waitress in particular had a disgusting attitude, and both landlord and other staff were openly mocking customers. Very rude. Patrons came through the 'wrong' door, and shouted at for walking through the resturant. However there was no sign to say to use the other door (which there should have been if there was such a problem!) After the person walked through, the bar man decided to bolt the door, and then wonder why people were trying to force open the door, when they tried to come back through. (Bar staff decided to stand there and watch, whilst mocking again) No flexiblity with the menu, and aparently you have to sit in a certain area for a certain menu, completely rediculous! Only gave 1 out of 10 because the food was good. Apart from that, everything was bloody awful. Avoid, unless you want rude unhelpful staff with an attitude. tiggs22 - 25 Jun 2011 20:00 |
| Myself and my young family visited this pub during the Easter Holidays, My first impression was that the waitress service was good and the food was of good quality and reasonably prices, HOWEVER the land lord quickly change my impressions. He was extremely rude and arrogant towards customers including myself. He openly talked badly about the customers while they were in hearing distance,if the pub had been local and i was not with my family i am sure in my heart of hearts that this guy would have instantly regreted his disrespectfull behaviour. I would never entertain visiting this pub again Adrian34 - 26 Apr 2011 16:34 |
| Went here the other day with the wife and the kiddies. Food good and Ringwood 49'er was very good. I always stop here to have a nice pint whilst going through the new forest. I think this is a lovely pub but I know what you mean about the regulars! They could not keep there eyes off the wife! I used to drink here all the time when I lived in Whiteparish 20 years ago. I even remember playing cricket for the pub on the green when we played against Coventry City FC! However I do not know anyone here any more so I am treated as a tourist and the landlord is a bit of a grumpy git but I guess it just takes time to break down these barriers. What counts is that the beer is very good which shows the landlord knows what he is doing! nickyboi45 - 7 Dec 2010 10:54 |
