The Lamb Inn - Cotswold

Whilst staying at the Lamb Inn, we dined here on our first and final nights in the restaurant. We had our starters and main courses which were delicious, nicely presented and cooked. The prawn cocktails and chilli squid was delicious., and so were the plaice, chicken, and steak and ale pies. The staff was friendly and provided good service. The food service was reasonably quick and we did not have to wait long. We were delighted with the food and service. The Wise-Ones July 2023

Well, where do I start? A very average beer selection, and then it got worse. Very poorly trained waiting staff; noisy, shouting over the dining room and the person behind the bar had zero charisma. The dining room was almost empty at 1500 except for us …….. so why start laying up for breakfast, with chairs pulled noisily across the floor and cutlery etc noisily moved around while we are still eating ? What is really annoying is the food is OK; not great but OK. The small “bowl”, in actuality a deep saucer, of vegetables for 2 was frankly laughable; probably half a carrot, 2 small cauliflower florets, 4 small stems of tender stem broccoli and a tablespoon of cabbage. We when we expressed our surprise we were told it was £3 for an additional portion bear in mind it is £20 for a Sunday roast and we then received a large bowl with about 4 times the initial amount !! Sublime to ridiculous. On the plus side my lamb rump was actually well cooked and the pork, while far from great, wasn’t actually too bad except for the crackling, which promised much but delivered very little. Given how good the plethora of local pubs are, this establishment won’t survive long without seriously upping its game. We wouldn’t return, not in a month of Sundays.

My family and I stayed at this restaurant for two nights. The rooms were lovely and spacious, and the staff was helpful and friendly. The food was good, especially the breakfast. The surrounding countryside is beautiful.

We had a wonderful lunch today at this restaurant. The bar staff were friendly and the service was very quick, although it wasn't busy so we can't say if that's the norm. I ordered sausages and mash, while my husband had chicken and leek pie with mash. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, and we both agreed that they were some of the best meals we've had in a long time. The onion gravy was particularly exceptional.

We visited the lamb for a Sunday roast and was not disappointed!! Great service and food! The staff could not of been any more helpful! Will definitely be coming back!!
