The Lamb Flag - West Oxfordshire

My husband and I had lunch at the Lamb and Flag on the 12th of November, 2023. The food was incredible, with generous portions. The pigs in blankets were a good size, and the cauliflower cheese was the best I've ever tasted. The bartender was very friendly and went out of her way to make our experience enjoyable, even cracking jokes. We also had dessert, which was delicious. Credit to the entire staff at the Lamb and Flag for a memorable experience. We will definitely be back soon!

We went to this restaurant for breakfast on a Saturday. Breakfast is served until 2pm and it was excellent. The sausages and bacon were delicious, and the mushrooms were cooked perfectly. The large breakfast and small breakfast were both superb. The waitress was charming and friendly, not pretentious. We plan on returning for their Sunday roast. This restaurant is a great find and we will be telling our friends and recommending it to others. There is parking available as well.

My family and I were visiting the area for a few days and decided to try out this busy pub on our first evening. We sat by the fire and had a delicious meal and drinks. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and accommodating. I inquired about booking Sunday lunch there but unfortunately they were fully booked.

The Lamb and Flag is an interesting conundrum. First impressions, which are so so important, are disappointing. The paint on the windows frames at the front is flaking in several places and both the website and answer phone message suggest that it is closed and only open for take away. If I hadn’t been there previously for a drink I would have assumed that they had not survived the pandemic. First impressions to one side, we did eventually manage to book Sunday lunch and it wasn’t bad at all. Plenty of good quality vegetables, delicious cauliflower cheese and a choice of three meats. If you’re a veggie you might be a little disappointed as, on the day we visited, the only non-meat option offered was vegetarian sausages (which were very nice . We weren’t offered a dessert (do they do them or was this a simple oversight? . This is a small pub and the economics of making this place pay (especially with socially distanced tables must be a real challenge. As far as I am aware this is the only pub in the village and therefore deserves to be supported. The hosts are friendly and attentive and it was encouraging to hear that they were fully booked for lunch. We will return to try the mid-week fayre and occasionally for Sunday lunch. I will also use it for the odd pint now and again.

Could not fault this Resturant ,spotlessly clean ,all needs catered for Extensive menu to cater for varied tastes Hope cooked quality ,large portions Service attentive and professional by delightful staff Will return soon
