I stopped in here on the way home, with my daughter and two friends and we felt welcomed immediately… The facilities were clean and checked regularly… The service was quick and we were greeted with a friendly smile. The atmosphere was welcoming and accommodating to someone with a young child. The food was lovely and the staff are friendly, & even made me laugh. Will be stopping in again soon.

Took my two nephews here for an evening meal where the bar staff politely and patiently took their orders was great for my nephews confidence :) Then we sat in the restaurant playing games at our table while we waited for our meals which came out faster than expected and were very yummy that we sent back empty plates and ordered desserts and another round of drinks. After our yummy desserts my nephews spotted the pool table and they were welcomed by the staff to play. They had such a great time that they have requested to go back every weekend! Thank you very much to Zoe & Dale for making my nephews feel so welcomed and included, was indeed a great confidence boost for them both.

Come by today for some lunch and was served by the amazing Zoe! Her service was nothing less than perfect, she recommended some amazing cocktails and the food was absolutely brilliant. It was honestly a pleasure, we will definitely be returning. A massive thank you to Zoe for making us feel so welcomed. Great place & even better staff!

I was extremely disappointed with the service at Ewe and Lamb. While they advertise themselves as child-friendly, our experience didn’t reflect that. Our children, who were being supervised by an adult and encouraged to sit quietly, were told off twice for simply moving around. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere, and we felt unwelcome as a family. Because of this, we ended up leaving early and didn’t order dessert or an additional round of drinks as we’d planned. I hope they reconsider how they handle situations involving families, as the experience left us reluctant to return. we brought colouring books, stickers and cars to occupy them. Crayons were provided. They could not remain seated for the duration of the wait and eating the meal. They were not loud at any time. No one complained. Infact, customers commented on the fact the children had been told to stop walking/running around twice by the staff. X2 adults were happy with their meal however my meal was cold. Food is fairly priced but we will not be returning

What a great place . So there was plenty of parking spaces. The staff were really helpful and accommodating, they gave us the freedom to choose where we sat. The venue is quite small but it was clean, and there was a calming atmosphere. There was a sport area , which I would image can get very busy. The food we order was great, there was a great selection of food and the sirloin steak was cooked perfectly, which has been an issue we us at other venues. I would definitely recommend taking a visit and we will definitely be returning. Thank you guys for a great experience,

Average food but not an average price, people swearing out loud drunk during early afternoon & as the staff couldn't care about that I told them myself to stop swearing as I had my 2 young grandchildren with me which in all fairness they did so & told the problem individual to show some respect for other people,he then staggered out of the pub into the carpark where he proceeded to get into his van & drive out onto the road, would not recommend this establishment & will not return.As with regards to your reply to my review there is nothing that you can do for me to change the situation & circumstances ongoing at your public house it is what it is & I have no intention of returning,the resolution is within,a simple matter of preventing unruly behaviour of occurring.

After not visiting for a long time to the poor food and service, I have to say its really improved! The food I had was cooked well and very enjoyable, especially for the good price. The service was fantastic and you can tell they are working hard to keep a good standard. The only downside for me is the football being on TV, although if you're into it I can see it would be enjoyable.

myself and my family, have been long term customers of this pub for many ,many years ( from when it was first a pub ) , we have had many a birthday meal , Christmas meal , our late grandmother and grandfathers wake have been held here . Over the years we have been loyal locals and always thought of our local pub first in any of our family plans ..... until recently... we had a table booked and confirmed for our elderly fathers birthday on new year's eve afternoon, the ewe and lamb a couple of days later cancelled, explaining that the person that booked it has left & shouldn't have, as its a big booking and they can't accommodate for this on such a day .... we understood this , and reduced the numbers and booked online at similar times separate tables ( the tables were free ) We followed the bookings with a phone call to the ewe and lamb said we were fine with being served as separate tables , and not all at once ( all that matters to us is to make a nice day for our father ) . The lady at the ewe and lamb was happy ,and said see you all tomorrow.... we offered to pay a deposit ( she said it wasn't needed ). Tonight at 9 pm ( the night before) we all get an email cancelling our bookings! We rang the pub again only to be told the manager that cancelled them has gone home & although it was 2 minutes after our tables got cancelled, the tables are all full ! This is very unprofessional and as a family we feel very let down by the ewe and lamb ! I understand this is a busy time of year , but we have never had this problem at any point throughout the years ! And at no point have we asked for special treatment, They have ruined my father's birthday, the same customer & family that have stuck by you for years ! Rest assured we will no longer be visiting or recommending the ewe and lamb to anyone.

Came in briefly on a Saturday afternoon and it was very chaotic. We brought our small dog. After wandering around both entrances for a bit wondering if we needed to wait to be seated, an older lady behind the bar told me my dog is allowed to be by the entrance but not in the restaurant. So we left. Not dog friendly at all.

Very friendly family oriented pub. It's run by Greene King so the range is fairly standard but it means when you're catering for vegetarians and people with allergies it's reliably safe. The staff are really very friendly, chatty, and bend over backwards to help out. Live music and quizzes in the evenings apparently, and there's also a wheelchair accessible car park.

We tried the new menu today. Really recommend the Pulled mushroom chilli. It is delicious. You don’t need to be a vegan, vegetarian to enjoy it. Not overly spicy thank goodness, as I am not too good with chilli heat, but had bags of flavour and depth. Served with beautifully soft avocado. Thank you to the head chef for recommending it. Hubby had the Katsu curry which also went down very well. We are looking forward to trying out the new lunch menu tomorrow. 😋

Good friendly service but the food was very poor, i know the food is reasonably priced here but i still expect something that is remotely edible. i ordered the Fish and chips, i got a plate of batter with stale chips and peas that tasted off, i needed a microscope to actually find any fish within the rock hard batter. Very very poor experiance i am sorry to say. I was given a refund .

Food came out in good time and was absolutely delicious!!! Dessert was just as good as the mains .... I was also really surprised and happy with cost of the meal, given today's economic climate. Overall, I can't fault the service, food or entire experience. Well done everyone, we'll definitely be back.

Dunno what happened today. After initial fiasco with the bill and using my blue light card being less of a discount than the 2 meals for £12.49, my food and the service wasn't the best. No knives and forks, except the dirty one on the table when we arrived, had to wait ages after going to search for them myself. They failed to tell me that half my meal was missing with no coleslaw or onion rings, so I asked for popcorn cauliflower instead, needless to say it never did arrive. My hunters chicken was not much bigger than a chicken nugget. A shame as this is my local, but it won't be for a while. Disappointed.

We booked afternoon tea for four about a week in advance, this was dealt with by the event organiser who couldn't have been more helpful, When we arrived the staff were waiting for us and conducted us to the old library where a single table was prepared for us. We had expected to be in the restaurant and to have a private room was a real treat. Our party included a vegetarian and a gluten intolerant guest. The Chef had prepared separate plates of sandwiches for these two as well as a seperate stand of glutent free cakes. There was a good variety of sandwiches which were obviously freshly prepared and well presented, the cakes and sweets were varied and excellent. The service was A1 and unobtrusive, fresh tea being brought in on request. We all really ate too much, but the food was so nice we just had to clear the plates :-) A very special afternoon for us and we shall return. We do enjoy an afternoon tea when we can ~ our overall service experience here was far better then at Woburn, much quieter and personal than that at Frosts at Willington and better service and fresher food than the at the Swan in Bedford,

First thing - empty at least 7 mixed tables free THIS WAS Empty AT LIKE 945 AM , Staff looked down their nose as if we knew they were FULL! Then said after being approached- we are full , never even asked what we wanted - and that would have been what 15 minute drink? We had no wish to eat I am shocked in attitude and ethos of the place - would not be willing to recommend or re visit
