Lamb and Lion in South Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Had a lovely Sunday Lunch at the Lamb and Lion. Great value for money would definitely recommend. The gravy was amazing!!

What a great place to eat! They have a lovely venue, with traditional old beams and open fires in the cold. The food is homemade and generous and the price very reasonable. We had the grilled goats cheese salad with a side of chips and it was delicious. The goats cheese was mild and perfect in texture, complemented with a balsamic glaze. It was a very generous serving too. Our friends had the lasagna and that came with salad and chips. They said it was delicious. If you’re in need of a friendly, homely pub and you’re near Langport, try this.

We stopped in for lunch and had Steak which was amazing and very well presented - very large portion and excellent value for money. Great atmosphere and lovely staff.

The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive. As a party of 7 plus 2 small children we sampled most of the menu, everyone agreed the food was excellent. Good selection of veg and plenty of gravy to please my husband. The lemon posset was to die for. Lovely traditional pub with plenty of room, also lots of outside seating although we didn’t sample as cold and raining!!

A right result. Went there because I heard food was okay. Absolutely correct, all 4 meals were very good, desserts also good. Everything was reasonably priced including drinks. We shall return.

A very enjoyable lunch of chicken and bacon salad, a rather large ham & cheese omelette, a steak & kidney pie and lastly a chilli jacket potato. Portion sizes were generous and all the food was tasty. A choice of real ales was available and both the Tribute and Proper Job went down well. Service was friendly and efficient and there’s plenty of seating inside and out and there’s a large car park to the rear. We’ll worth a visit.

My partner and I decided to go for a meal at the Lamb and Lion, as a last minute thing. We had to wait until 6:30 before food was being served, but I can only say well worth the wait. The food we had was lovely and very good value for the money. We will be returning soon. Thank you for a lovely evening.

A very disappointing visit for Sunday lunch , with very curt service . Our family of of 9 arrived for a get together after a year apart after recommendation from another family member . Only 7 of us were eating and two joining later for drinks , the table we had was most uncomfortable for the 7 of us with 2 of us having to sit in a window seat which meant the position to try and eat in was nearly impossible unless you engaged your core and we're prepared to almost slide of the cushion . The menu for main courses was adequate but the side dishes were very sparing . The dessert menu was extremely small and as a type 1 diabetic there was nothing suitable on offer . I asked if it were possible to have a cheeseboard but was most rudely told no by the waiting staff , so was left unable to eat with my family . I tried to speak with the manager at varying times throughout the visit as didn't want to make a scene but this wasn't possible . All in all a very disappointing experience and we shall not be returning any time soon .

As usual, a warm welcome and lovely attentive staff. Only issue is that Sunday lunch is quite minimal for the price. Three small roast potatoes per person and a very thin ( but nice) slice of beef. You can ask for more potatoes but were told you have to pay extra. Will return but not for Sunday lunch.

We had a friend staying with us for a few days and decided to take her to the Lamb and Lion. Excellent food, good sized portions, staff were friendly, polite and efficient. Prices were average but not over the top, really enjoyed our night out.

We first called for Sunday lunch, it has been several years since we have been in the area, so glad we booked, the food was amazing and the service fantastic, it was that good we called another 3 times for lunch whilst we were on holiday, We'd like to thank Jules especially for making our visits to the Lamb & Lion so special

Best food and lots of it at great prices cleanest pub i have been in for years staff great can not wait to go back five stars all round Bill and Maggie

Great pub in a charming village with a locals and visitors welcome atmosphere providing well kept ales and a menu of well priced pub grub.

A nice village pub. Pub is really nice inside. Excellent home made food. Steak and mushroom pie and pavlova for pudding. Pint of cider. Very nice indeed. Staff were really lovely

Another fantastic visit. All the staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. Food was as delicious as ever. We will be back next time we come down here on holiday.

We stayed locally for a Hen Party, the food was lovely and would highly recommend if you are in the area. We had a group of 10 and did a pre order, food was served hot and was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble we even were given extra roasties! Pudding were nice too! Lovely venue with a nice set up! Thank you!

The best pub food I have had in years. So obviously home cooked. Amazing friendly service. Worth the drive from Bristol for

Stopped here on the off chance whilst passing through on a Saturday afternoon, so glad we did. The barman/landlord seemed to be on his own apart from the kitchen staff behind the scenes. He was ever so helpful and accommodating the wife and I were seated in the bar area with our three small children as we had brought our dog along but this was perfect, plenty of space and close to the open fire that was roaring away keeping us warm from the December air outside. The food was to die for, between us all we had a range of what is to offer and it was all fantastic ( the chips are out of this world ). Four meals ( youngest still on bottles, I didn't leave a child out, don't worry lol.) Four meals drinks and 15% tip came to £50, now that can not be argued with in my book. Lovely Pub, atmosphere top notch, food is excellent and service was impeccable.. definitely will be returning in the future.

We have eaten here on a few occasions recently and found the food to be good. We came for Sunday lunch today and were very disappointed with the general experience. We sat down at 1.30 to be told there was no roast beef (surely you would hold some back for your bookings?). We ordered a pork and a chicken. We had starters first which were ok, the garlic mushrooms were lukewarm. The mains turned up with very very small portions of meat and 3 dried up roast potatoes each that had been hanging around for a while, the vegetables were also lukewarm. I asked the waitress for some more pork only to be told they had run out (one of my slices of pork had even been cut in half - was this so that some other poor diner could have his portion?). So I spoke to the landlord Jerry, who found some more pork (where had it been hiding!). To be honest we got the impression that they had run out of food and our meals were cobbled together with the last scraps. The whole experience was a let down; when I paid the bill and voiced my concerns to the barman he was not the slightest bit interested. What a shame; we are locals and eat out often. We won't be back.

We tried to visit this pub on a Monday night in November but it was closed, the website needs updating. We tried again on a Thursday evening and got in. All the crew are friendly and helpful. The inside looks recently decorated and is smart and functional. The menu is not large but has enough choice. I went for cod n chips. Service was a bit slow but our meals arrived pipping hot and comprised a plate full of food. The fish was uninspiring but the chips and peas were super. A nice pub serving reasonably priced food with friendly service. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

What can I say. The Lamb and Lion were incredible! They went above and beyond for us. We had a small wedding so just wanted a quiet meal after. We booked the skittle alley and the team kindly decorated it for us. The service was wonderful and everyone loved the food. Thank you for helping to make our day perfect.

Great food great atmosphere and super service although short staffed but made aware of delays well happy with all Waitress at lunch today was doing a great job as very busy

This was a strange experience! The pub was busy and people clearly love the food. The place is friendly and the staff are relatively attentive. I am not going to give a poor star rating, business is tough and we all must support our local...

Very good food! Service very good and very friendly. Price about right. Had a wonderful Time. Would visit again. Thank you Dave and Val

Lovely pub, very friendly, Even managed to fit us in for Sunday Dinner on Fathers day at a days notice, Food is excellent with great attention to detail.

A fantastic Sunday roast. A selection of 3 meats. Just the right size portions to have clean plates at the end of your meal. Sweets looked amazing, but too full to try them. At great looking evening menu from what I could see from the...

We took our family to the pub for a nice drink and a spot of lunch. We sat outside with the dogs & the lovely sunshine. Our sandwiches were very good.

My wife and I stopped for a light lunch - we had a very nice sandwich with a bowl of chips we would rate it a very good.

- The cider barn closed at least two years ago. - the cheese and port room is now a laundry/ironing room. - The skittle alley is a dining room On the plus side, they have a fab view and the meal we had was lovely.

I always enjoy my weekends in Hambridge, singing with Somerset Chamber Choir, with lunches taken these days at The Lamb and Lion. For me a sandwich on Saturday and a roast on Sunday. All spot on. Good food, good beer and cheery service from Gerry...

We had a great lunch on Saturday at the Lamb and Lion. We were greeted by the charming and welcoming publican. The food was delicious and the service attentive but discreet. I can’t wait to go back!

Lovely pub visited while on a mini break from the Midlands. Nice warm atmosphere, friendly efficient service. Very welcoming. Lovely food. Fitted us in at very short notice. Large portions, good value for money.

We stopped here for a quick lunch on a bike ride! It was a warm and welcome stop! Staff were really friendly and it has lovely outdoor space with great views! Inside there is a bright but cosy atmosphere with a lovely fire!

Called in for lunch earlier in week. Very warm welcome from both people behind bar, shown to table and attentive service throughout visit. Very clean and good varied menu. Food excellent and staff on hand checking everything ok. Would visit again if in area

We stopped off on our way back home after a visit to Chard Nature Reserve. What a great hostelry, friendly greetings, fantastic food and even better Ale!! Service was excellent and very reasonable prices - well done to all involved, we will be back!

What a splendid hostelry, a real lovely local Ale and food house, this is the second time I have visited this pub and both times have not disappointed, service with a smile and lovely ale served just as it should be. I didn’t eat here...

We stopped for lunch and were greeted warmly and served promptly. We had fish and chips which was very good but not outstanding and a generously filled and perfectly cooked omelette. This traditional pub is spacious but cosy, immaculately clean and well run.

As a large party we were asked to order in advance which made life easier for all! A few changes on the day was dealt with promptly and without any problem. Food was very tasty and portion were very substantial, so much so we couldn’t...

We stopped off in Hambridge for the night on our way to Cornwall. The Lamb & Lion is a lovely traditional village pub with a very friendly welcome. Generous and well priced pub food. The veggie lasagne was tasty and my husband enjoyed his gammon...

Excellent food on a busy Saturday night in a thriving village pub. Good, honest pub food with plenty of choice as well as excellent service and a warm welcome.

First time visiting since its rebuild, First impressions were a rebuilt pub but with traditional lines, oak beams, original leaded windows, flagstone floors, warm fire, our idea of a good old fashion pub, but up dated. Menu was short, but ample choice for lunch time,...

Safe in the times of COVID Really nice atmosphere, nice and secure against the virus. I am not vegan but would recommend the spicy beetroot burgers, a real treat.

Great food, well laid out tables, Covid safe. Pleasant staff and good price. We had a group of 8 and they insisted we only sit in tables of 4 to keep Covid safe, which we happily did and good to know they are truly looking...

Making the most of the last day of the Eat Out scheme we chose somewhere local to meet friends on the bank holiday Monday. We haven’t eaten here for a while despite it being just over the hill, but have liked this pub since it’s...

Four friends visited for an evening meal. Booked in for an early dinner. Good choice of cuisine. All chose something different and all said how much we enjoyed our meals. Steaks and gammon were delicious and cooked to our choices.

Food was very average, the chips Def not triple cooked. Plate lacked care. Ihave eaten here, pre covid, many times and it was always very good. However I would not recommend now.Friend had lasagne which was dried up and came with chips and no sign of garnish. Staff just dumped cutlery, sauces, menus etc on the table with sullen faces, no warm welcome.

We booked to visit for our daughter's birthday. The bar staff on arrival were pleasant however the table waitresses were not of a happy disposition! The meal itself was £10.50 (it did benefit from The Eat Out to Help Out scheme but I don't feel that should account for the size of meal!!). My daughter had lasagne and my husband had beef burger but both meals came solely with chips. Not a vegetable/salad leaf in sight! The chips were supposed to be triple cooked but they were clearly just frozen chips and were also hard. When we asked for condiments, we were just given some sachets which gave the feel of being in a cafe. Really disappointed that a special family meal out was not done justice

It is some time since we visited this local pub, not having appreciated the previous owners. We booked for a Friday lunchtime. We were greeted pleasantly and served with drinks before being seated. The menu was mainly ‘the usual suspects’ but, this time, it was exactly what we wanted. We chose scampi and gammon. It came quickly and was cooked well. I like chips but do not eat many as I am fussy. These were the best chips that I have had, in quite some time. We have had a few meals out since lockdown eased and this was , by far, the best of the lot.

Took advantage of the 'Eat Out to Help Out' and we were not disappointed, excellent food fresh and great quality, service, two steaks order and very tender didn't even need a steak knife and boys had burgers four empty plates were returned to kitchen, highly recommend will be visiting again shortly.

Having pre-booked directly with the pub for an evening meal with friends and family we were disappointed they'd not only missed the starters, but when we pointed out pretty much told us they'd prepared the main courses now so we'h have to have them. The owner didn't make much of an attempt to apologise and initially suggested we'd not sent the full menu choices through. In future perhaps it would be better to check the prebooked menu choices with your customers and then if you make a mistake at least be prepared to own up to it.

Came here last week with a group of friends. We’re very warmly welcomed, the pub was lively. We ordered our drinks at the bar, via the barman Rob. He was very chatty. We were then seated promptly to our table at a quieter end of the pub and given the menus. Within 5 minutes we had our order taken. Between us we had two lasagnes and a cod and chips. Within 20 minutes it was on our table. Was honestly the best lasagne I have ever tasted, portion sizes very generous. Overall a lovely meal. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants an enjoyable and memorable meal. Will definitely be returning soon. Thank you

Dropped-in on Sunday as out for a drive. Had a drink and then asked if we could eat - we hadn't booked (whoops) and all tables reserved. but owner went to the kitchen and returned to say that they could manage us at about 1:30, which was fine by us. We both chose the Hake, on mash served with roast vegetables. It was extremely good and reasonably priced. The pub has a great atmosphere, pleasant gardens, but on a sunny day, climb the steps to the roof terrace and enjoy the vast views from there whilst enjoying a refreshing pint. Plenty of parking, a clean, smart and attractive pub with large open fire.

Good food in a sympathetically renovated village pub, This was our fourth visit this year. the staff are friendly and efficient, last night they were very busy with a big party and still managed to make us feel special in an upstairs dining room. The food was very good and the real ale exactly as it should be. We especially enjoyed the butternut squash chilli Yummy..

We spent ages trying to find somewhere open for lunch and eventually ended up in Hambridge. The pub was busy, but we was served quickly and the service excellent. However, my partners ploughman’s was distinctly average. Nothing wrong with it, totally acceptable, but not brilliant. I had the burger, again well cooked and presented, but just average pub fare.Nothing wrong with the place, good solid pub food.

We booked for two at 7 p.m. on a Fridy night. Big mistake-bar was full of horrendously loud skittlers, not the management's fault but they could have asked them to keep it down a bit. We couldn't get near the bar for them but were eventually spotted and shown to our table and our drinks brought to us. We soon ordered but waited 40 minutes for our food. Our food was very nice except that my friend had the pie and mash and when we were asked about sauces she asked for a little gravy. That'll be a £1 extra she was told so we said no, on principle.The food is quite pricey anyway. Another waitress came over and asked if all was o.k. so we mentioned the need for gravy but received the same reply. This petty meanness really spoilt our evening and has put us off returning to this pub.

Dropped in on the off-chance of lunch and was pleasantly surprised - the interior of the Inn is interesting and very well done the food was lovely and the service excellent - we live a distance away, in the next county, but if we find ourselves in this neck of the woods again, this is our 'go to' place to eat

So good to find this place. The welcome is warm and genuine and the whole ambience is very relaxed. We had a light lunch and it was definitely the best jacket potato that I`ve had in years.

My wife has recently undergone a serious operation and today was her first outing for months. What a delightful, charming and atmospheric place. I had a the chicken and tarragon burger. Unusual but delicious. The chips could have been a little crisper but none the less very good. My wife declared the Lamb and Lion burger very good as well. (I can agree with her as I just had to help her finish hers!). The staff we very friendly and helpful and the whole place spotless. Quite a job for a rural pub!Wonderful setting and super views over the lovely Somerset countryside. Will definitely be back

Lovely atmosphere with sun shining great views, good singer and generous portions of well cooked food. Kids and dogs made welcome with water and games for both. Landlord very helpful. Will visit again.

We had a Sunday lunch for 4, the meat portions were quite stingy and the vegetables not really enough, they did give us more when we asked. Nice old pub and good atmosphere.

Lovely pub and lovely staff. shame about all the stuck up customers that frown upon a family with children like we didn't have a right to be in there. The food is of poor quality the chicken was dry and inedible. Its fair to say we definitely wont be going back.

Reviewers are right to highlight the good atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. However, our last two visits have been spoilt by really long waits for our food to be served. Close to an hour on both occasions. We will now only go early in the week in the hope it will be better and hope that weekends will get sorted soon.

Went out for dinner with the family, 7 of us.

Family celebration, 7 of us. We were served by very friendly attentive staff, the food was great tasty and plentiful.

Another superb restaurant in the Langport area. Parking, surroundings, dining area and staff were all excellent and added to our experience. The food itself was also excellent and the whole ambiance means that we will definitely be visiting again.

We visited on a Thursday lunchtime and things were a bit quiet but having said that the welcome and food were first class - the menu itself looked very appetising and although we only had ploughmans, it was very nice.

Having visited before and enjoyed it so much we decided to book for Sunday lunch. Food was very nice but mother in law had the roast pork and asked to swap the apple sauce for some stuffing. Although the waitress asked the chef apparently it wasn't possible. We didn't think it was an unreasonable request. Would definitely visit again but not on a Sunday.

Gone downhill. Bar staff not very welcoming, food was average and waited ages for table to be cleared. I used to really like coming here and there was always a friendly welcome.

Frequented this pub often. Not good today. Menu changed nachos which were best in the area are now on the revised new menu as for sharing at an increased price of £12.50. No option to have as a single course sadly even though the waitress spoke to the chef. When they came they were very short of cheese and just plain nachos underneath. The sour cream which is usually very good was very runny. Our other order was fish and chips and the portion of fish was small although the chips were very good. I spoke to the waitress about the nachos but really no one seemed to care. After we finished our main course we waited ages for our plates to be collected even though there were only two other tables with customers so we decided not to have pudding. This all makes me very sad pubs these days really need to keep their customers and I feel I won’t be going back.

A lovely pub/restaurant very well renovated, a great welcome, ordered a drink & shown to our table. It was busy in the bar & restaurant which is always a good sign, we were served by Tara who was wonderful & made us very welcome. We only had a main & shared a dessert as portions are very good.

Very smart pub in a pretty village on a Tuesday evening. Welcoming bar and a really knowledgeable friendly and efficient waitress. Food was delicious with good choices.

Staying with friends we were treated to dinner here. What a fantastic welcoming and buzzy place! The food is simple but fantastic, great service and nice choice of wines. Highly recommended

We arrived at 6.30 when there were a couple of people at the bar. It was warm and welcoming and although quiet at this time there was background music playing and had a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We were served drinks and shown to a table which we chose. The waitress was very polite and was asking if we were happy with everything. The food was good home cooked food and was very tasty. Couldn't fault it and priced very well too. Would definitely go back.

Nice looking pub, nice inside. Eight booked for Sunday lunch. A choice of meat, I had pork. The meals came out on plates with roast potatoes. The vegetables came out separately. I must say the portions were quite stingy and the vegetables not really enough for eight persons but tasty enough. Then we all had a pudding Eton mess. Well that was mine was! A mess! It looked horrible and compared to the others it looked stale, I had two mouthfuls an couldn't eat anymore. When the girl cleared the plates I complained also I had a chipped dish. She never came back to me, hence that's why I am writing this. I would have taken the pudding back, but why should you have to? When you pay good money you should expect good food. Won't go back!

Came here based on the number of good reviews, checked the website to see if they allowed dogs. It said they did but when we got there we were told only in the bar area not the restaurant seating section. Food was reasonable but for a country pub we thought slightly expensive. We won’t be going back ☹️

Called in for a lunch on Tuesday 26th February 2019. Premises are in a peaceful village.

Have to say, my boyfriend and I could not fault this restaurant tonight! We had a voucher as a gift to use, and had a starter and main meal... which was amazing! Neither of us finished our meal as the portions were so generous! The food was clearly of a high quality and incredibly fresh, it was definately great value for money.

Have just visited here for a birthday treat, it was faultless the food was amazing!!!! The service was amazing honestly could not fault it!!

After a visit to Barrington court we went looking for a pub lunch. The first pub we stopped at rudely sent us away due to a walking group. The next stop was the Lamb and Lion. It’s a really lovely pub, nice decor and the welcome was friendly.

WE DECIDED TO GIVE IT A TRY AND WISHED WE HAD NOT BOTHERED VERY SMALL PORTION of meat green beans hard broccoli hard we were both very disappointed and will not be returning

We eat here several times a year as part of a regional Classic Car Club meet including Christmas parties in both 2017 and 2018. Our food has always been of a good quality. Staff are often small in number and therefore work hard but they are friendly and helpful. Recommended.

Visited here by the off chance after some air rifle shooting with the family on a Sunday. We stopped off hoping to grab a bite to eat however was told that they couldn't accommodate as it was Sunday service and we would have needed to book online. Fair enough.

Having eaten here before I decided to book the largest upstairs room for a family Christmas lunch. I was told we would need to pre order. We did. They lost it! Therefore much of what would have been eaten was now not available. We ordered from the standard menu. Only two portions of turkey left in the building....just as well it tasted and looked like boil in the bag portions (chef what chef!!).

The room was nicely decorated, had a real tree and the table was attractive. An unusual idea was place settings with each persons' choice of meal, much appreciated by some of our older guests! The meal was tasty with enough to suit everyone's appetite. Time between courses was a bit long; more waiting staff would sort that out but all staff were pleasant and helpful.

We took a friend for his birthday for Sunday lunch, we booked for 12.30 we arrived early and were shown to our table. After a long wait starters arrived after 35 mins. All very good. Then another 35 mins for the Roast to appear, a shame we had to wait so long. Please get more staff as your food is excellant but very poor service today.

What a gem of a place this is, a lovely old but refurbished pub at Hambridge. We stopped here after a busy day out and I can honestly say one of the best experiences I have had for a pub meal. It was warm and inviting (good wood burning fire providing plenty of warmth) staff were excellent and the meal outstanding, plates were hot meal was hot and delicious, it is well worth taking time to find this place!

We visited for lunch on a sunny Sunday afternoon and were seated promptly. Our orders were taken quickly but we were told they had run out of lamb which was a shame. Our food arrived within reasonable time and was tasty, we all agreed it was good value for the money. After we finished nobody came to take our plates, despite two waitresses walking empty handed past our table on several occasions. We finally had to ask for our table to be cleared but were told that we would have to wait for her colleague to do it as she was covering the bar. During the wait I wandered around the pub and took a look upstairs including out on to the roof terrace - I was surprised at how deceptively spacious the pub is and I was particularly impressed with the beautiful far reaching views of the countryside. We ordered desserts for the children and unfortunately two of the four dessert options had sold out. All in all it was a pleasant lunch but was let down by poor service.

How is it possible to run out of lamb in somerset, we ordered 4 lamb Sunday lunch dinners at 1-15 pm , orders were taken and then to be told we only have enough lamb for 2 of our party, at 1.30pm, having travelled 35 miles on recommendation, and then to add insult we then waited 40 mins for our food to arrive, nice pub poorly run , and shall eat closer to home next time ,

A large group of us decended on this pub for our evening meal. We had pre-ordered and the staff had perpared a large table for us in the dining room. A couple of female waitresses took the drinks orders from us and these were soon delivered to the table. Bottles of water were also on the table. The starters and later the main meals were delivered and eaten. The meal I had was very good and I think everyone of us enjoyed this experience. The girls cleared away and then took the sweets orders I however ordered cheese and biscuits. This was the only negative part of the evening because i never got my order. The sweets were served and consumed but despite keep asking for the cheese and biscuits they did not appear. A little thing but it let the staff down.

We travelled from Poole and called in to have lunch with an old friend. We were warmly welcomed by the waitress and then the barman and were advised that we could choose where we wanted to sit as they were not very busy. In no time at all the tables filled up and the pub was full to bursting creating a very warm atmosphere. We ordered our drinks at the bar but the food was waitress service. Our food was excellent and beautifully presented, all freshly cooked. The deserts were exceptional. When visiting again, we will definitely lunch here.

On a Thursday lunch time we had a lovely meal and first class service.I took the precaution of booking as on Tuesday and Wednesday this week The Lamb & Lion was fully booked. I could not understand the previous reviewer with “the I’ve arrived so fit me in attitude “and when the pub couldn’t they gave them a 1 star rating.

We had read about this pub and as it is just down the road from where we are staying we decided to give it a go. We arrived at 6.30pm and there was no one eating and no reserved signs on the tables. We asked for a table for 4. The response we got was; "that'll be a problem, you'll have to wait until the chef get a back. I've been asked to hold back". We were left feeling like an inconvenience and very unwelcome. We left and won't be coming back!
