"We live only a short distance from the Lamb Inn and have always assumed it to be a real drinker's pub rather than a restaurant. A few weeks ago they posted a flyer through our door advertising that they had started doing Sunday lunches, so we thought we would give them a try. It took a few weeks because the bill boards outside the pub gave the impression the only did sandwiches and snacks. Today, there was a sign advertising Sunday Lunch at around £8.00 for one course so we called in. The dining room was almost full but there were two small tables still free. Unfortunately, a table of six people had arrived just before us hence we had rather a long wait for our meal to arrive. The landlady apologised for the delay and explained that they were short staffed.We both ordered roast pork, but there was only one portion left, so my wife decided on fish and chips instead. When the meal arrived, we both agreed it was worth the wait. The pork came with roast spuds (nicely cooked and crispy), Yorkshire pud, cabbage, mashed swede with carrots, home grown runner beans and a separate dish of cauliflower cheese. It also came with an extra helping of gravy in a gravy boat which is something that all restaurants should do with roast dinners! The meal was really tasty and and to be honest as good as any I've ever tasted and I've tasted a fair few pub roasts in my time. From my point of view the only improvement would be to cook the runner beans a little longer as they aren't ideal al dente. I accept others may like them slightly underdone.The fish and chips were perfectly okay. Again, a largish portion. It came with a choice of peas or mushy peas. The chips were well cooked.As so often happens, the large portions didn't leave room for desserts, which was a shame because we saw the people at the next table enjoying home made sticky toffee pudding, fruit crumble with a jug of custard and what looked like Eton mess. The landlady confirmed that the puddings were homemade which for me is an essential requirement. I can't understand why any restaurant would buy in catering packs of frozen desserts. The bill came to around £21 including a nice pint of Doombar bitter from Rock in Cornwall and a Coca Cola. They also had two other bitters on hand pump, including London Pride one of my favourites. Pity I was driving. We could have walked, but it was raining!So, overall impressions. It still has the look of a town centre drinker's pub that's not a criticism, just an observation. The food was top notch and definitely worth a second visit. I hope they can keep up that standard. The price was definitely too low, but I guess they know their own market. Good luck to them, I hope it takes off Westfields needs and deserves a good local restaurant."
