Lion & Lamb in South Cambridgeshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I keep seeing closed today at the car park entrance. Is the pub operating?

Food was sooo great, worth the money and nice background music 🎶! ☺️ Great service, was very kind

Went for weekday lunch. Service was great and choice of food is just right. Took a little while to get the food but I think that most of it it cooked to order which made it taste even better !!

Great place good food, friendly knowledgable staff children's play area, outside undercover seating area. Reasonably priced also has kids menu My grandkids reckon their burgers are a lot better than mcds and bk.

I have visited this pub for years having lived in Milton for 20 years and visiting the village since to see family. This pub has always been one to go to for the food, atmosphere and children’s park. Today’s visit was an incredible disappointment and will be the last visit. Staff seemed miserable, the food was awful and such a disappointment. No soap or toilet roll in the unisex toilets either

Went for a quick drink with distant relative, what I saw food looked ok, nice seating area and staff polite and friendly.

The staff were very nice . Sadly the food was terrible . I would say the roast dinner meat is sliced frozen bulk buy packet stuff it was dry and rubbery and the beef couldn't even be cut with the steak knives they supply. Gravy was like water . I don't know if they have recently been taken over, But last time I visited about 3 years ago it was nice .

A really cosy atmosphere. Felt very clean and well thought out. Jason was extremely accommodating and made us feel entirely comfortable. An excellent choice of drinks and really knowledgable with drink pairings. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Sue's mince beef & onion pie is the best I have had for many years. Cannot praise it enough. Go and visit, you wont regret it.

We went here for a family birthday and we had an amazing experience. Nothing was too much trouble, as we have a child with particular eating habits and they made sure that he was happy with everything. The portions were adequate for a family of people with large appetites and nobody was left hungry. Everything was reasonably priced and we will definitely be coming back soon.

Just awful… waited at the bar with the two girls walking past us multiple times ignoring us, while children were going in and out the kitchen. Finally got served and then waited another 1 hour or more for food. Which when arrived was cold… the pork was chewy, all the veg was cold. The potatoes were obviously packet frozen ones as hard in the middle. We would have just walked out but wanted something as had waited so long… wasn’t worth it. Tables around us all looked far from impressed. The server too had chipped nail varnish and dirt under her nails.

Sunday lunch for 5. Very slow service, food poor quality. Frozen roast potatoes clearly used, gravy watery as sin, veg stewed to oblivion and meat both dry and tough. One of our party had crispy chicken and chips, which was clearly the best meal on the table despite Sunday lunch being the only main offered on the day. Drinks were fine, albeit there was no white wine available. Cannot in good conscious recommend for Sunday lunch.

Very quaint country pub, looking forward to returning for a full meal as we had a snack on this occasion

Not great experience....First time my friend got food poisoning from calamari. Second visit, another friend ordered Lasagne and couldn't eat a quarter as like a brick... Oh and vaping, not three foot from us eating was openly taking place....at least four people.....I wasn't aware it was allowed by this chain.

From start to finish the staff were friendly and attentive no obstacle was too great for them even dealing with autistic person ensuring that no part of their meal was touching and making quiet checks to make sure everything was OK with him. Food was perfect, starters were well presented and the main courses were sensational between all 11 of us we tried all the meats on offer and we all agreed the meat just melted in your mouth. The price including drinks was reasonable as well. I recommend that you book to ensure a place as they seemed to get very busy. The portions were good as well.

Had a family dinner there at weekend was fantastic meal great service there was 12 of us eating ranging from 2 years to 60 years old. Catered for all ages meal size and what was on offer even our autistic son who is runny about his food touching and keeping the music down just for us. Food was out of this world. Will most definitely be going again.

I'm very happy! Quality food! Service! I can only recommend! Perfect!

The pub Is lovely and really nice food.

Nice food, good service in a nice traditional pub.

Greeted warmly which makes a pleasant change from other venues. I was offered a variety of choices. Without being pushed (very professional) I settled in a very comfortable, supremely clean spot. Clean toilets, I’m funny about that… Music was appropriate, and an open fire just added to the whole great atmosphere. Then, out of nowhere. Came a taster of Chefs homemade Christmas Cheesecake. This is a taste sensation like NO other. What a triumph. Delicious!!!!!! What a cracking place to spend an afternoon with a newspaper and enjoy clearly well kept top notch beer. Great staff, great beer, amazing Cheesecake, great venue… I will return very much sooner than I expected. First Class without question. Thank you chef……

Fantastic place very friendly warm welcome.

Service as usual, brilliant. I sat in bar area, table for two right under tv, added bonus radiator warmed me up on that cold ice temp day. Had spicy butternut squash soup, warming not too spicy hot, served with toast. Next was a piece of Beef and Ale pie, the ale part for me was too strong, so couldnt eat it. (Seeing the fish and chips on next table - that looked much nicer). Depends on taste, quality brilliant. My dinner I had skinny chips and peas. Dessert I had chocolate tart and vanilla icecream. To drink I had coffee. Love this little pub. Lunch was amazing, thank you for your hospitality once again xx

We visited for a Sunday roast. The food was great, decent portions, nice servings of the meat, plenty of veg. Well done 👍 Kids menu as well available on a Sunday is a plus. Reasonably priced as well.

Came with friends for lunch, I'm a Coeliac and the staff and chef were extremely friendly and helpful in sorting out my food

Came with friends for lunch, I'm a Coeliac and the staff and chef were extremely helpful and friendly in sorting out my food. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Broke a long drive to Suffolk for lunch at the Lion and Lamb. Dog friendly with a really efficient, attentive and pleasant bar staff. Selection of decent ales and a really good light lunch, their pies looked food too. Would highly recommend

Good food, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere, with limited but nice vegetarian options. A good spot for a weekday lunch day with colleagues.

The food here has deteriorated over the past few months, but today’s Sunday roast was simply terrible. The calamari entree was stringy and tasteless, and the roast beef main was chewy and overcooked. My wife ordered pork…and was also served beef. There was no shortage of quantity, but that didn’t make up for the lack of quality. My work colleagues have been meeting here on a monthly basis, but their recent experience of the food has been poor. We won’t be going back.

Absolutely amazing good decent food & brilliant customer service! Lovely local pub filled with such a hapy atmosphere. I will always come here now I’ve found it! Perfect!

Lunchtime midweek, food not great. "Homemade Spaghetti Bolognese" - very little and tasteless Bolognese, very unhomemade Spaghetti.

Not very busy but a very nice pub

Went there for Sunday lunch with my grandson. Food was great, good friendly service and, important for us, very dog friendly. We have caravan near by and will visit again.

Best pub in my village. Super friendly, live music and always someone to listen to. Today's menu was Lamb mince and was lovely. But the Lion and Lamb is very well known for their deserts. Give them a try. Thank you guys!

Dicided to go out at the last minute and popped into the Lion and Lamb. Glad we did. The food was lovely and service great. Will definitely be going back.

Plenty of choice on the menu. Lovely food and pleasant service. It was a bit quiet tonight because of the rain, but we had a delicious meal.

Spent a week there whilst.working great pub fantastic service never tried the food but if as good as the rest of the boozer will be spot.on

Had a great experience on a Friday evening with family! Turned up at 5pm on a sunny Friday afternoon, two adults and two children. Kids had a great time on the garden play equipment. The menu had pub classics and kids favourites. The food was well cooked and served promptly. Good deserts too. Good range of ales and lagers in excellent condition! We were particularly lucky as we caught the last day of a couple of special offers - kids eat for £1 when you order an adult meal (during school summer holidays) and also the beer festival beers for £2.50 a pint. When we left my eldest daughter accidentally left her phone behind. The pub staff immediately called us to let us know it was safely behind the bar. This is an excellent pub! Will definately be back soon.

Great pub with friendly, helpful staff, nice interior, nice beer garden. Will be back.

We visited for the first time in over 10-years, on Friday afternoon (11th August). We sat outside in the garden. The food came out to us in reasonable time and was as expected, if slightly on the small side, portion-wise. What was a bit of a surprise was the cost of a pint of Guiness and a single Gin and Tonic - over £13. I would expect to pay this in a four star hotel. The G&T was around £8. That is some mark-up. Having spent over £40 for two main meals, one of which was fish and chips and the other a burger and chips, along with the two drinks, we came away a rather underwhelmed and as a result, unlikely to return to the Lion and Lamb, anytime soon.

We recently traveled over to the Norfolk Broads for a family break. We contacted the pub to see if they would be open for the Lionesses game vs Columbia. The staff opened the doors a little earlier for folk to join them in the bar and garden to enjoy the game. Both sets of fans were in the garden and everyone was made to feel welcome with a great family atmosphere created. The pub was busy and food was being served hot and prepared and presented very well. We had our 3 year old with us who had the sausage chips and beans and was very happy with her meal. We will certainly be back soon for a visit when we are in the area. Well done to all. Thank you again.

Eaten here a few times now absolutely amazing

Food was mediocre, Abit over priced for what you got & quality. The bar staff were lovely. And the facilities were good. Great deal with the kids eat for £1, good addition with economy right now.

We visited for the first time today for lunch. It’s a really beautiful clean pub inside and out. The food was nice but a bit pricey, but we took advantage of the kids eat for £1 when buying a main meal. So it worked out very well. Service was great, the staff are very helpful and friendly. I will definitely be visiting again when I’m next in the area.

Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Since being taken over by new owners/management I have no complaints. Went for coffee and cake morning but ended up staying for lunch. Great choice of coffee and very tasty cakes . Great menu and plenty to choose from. Staff were friendly and helpful and...

Went for a Sunday roast, we had the lamb not the lion… Great tasting roast, efficient service and an amazingly tasty cheesecake! Having the veg in a share dish was great for those of us who don’t need quite as much broccoli as your average human.

Smashing BBQ! Loved the freshly marinated Jerk Chicken burger! Relaxed atmosphere and engaging Chef chatting with customers.

11 of us arrived for a business meal pre-booked for 10, we took drinks outside while we waiting for our party to all arrive into the huge nicely laid out outdoor area. When we went to sit for our meal we asked for a bigger...

Whilst eating my fish and chips I had to leave the table to vomit in the toliet. I spoke with the waitress, who then spoke with the chef. Although I didn't ask for my money back the waitress tried to get something back for me...

My mum and I had a late lunch here one afternoon and it was fantastic. The food was delicious, every staff member we saw was kind, helpful and really welcoming😊 We'll definitely return!

Great place to a beer after game and the food is always awesome

Somewhat of a regular, I took a couple of friends this time. New chef, some new dishes. Not a huge menu but you should find something that suits. One of us had sausage, egg and chips - the sausages were great (and looked it!), his...

Came here with 3 other friends for drinks and some dinner. The service was amazing, really friendly staff. The food was delicious and got us everything we needed. Would recommend for all, even have a play area for kids!

Lovely meal last night with a friend! Sitting outside in the garden which has lots of tables and chairs and even patio heaters if the night gets chilly! Staff are so friendly and helpful! Food was delicious and promptly served will definitely be going again!...

Not a great experience today The landlord (I think she was?!) Told us that they were having issues in the Kitchen so we knew we would have a wait! But it was a very long wait! When we asked how much longer we were told...

Good pub - went for lunch. Right next to Little Venice

Is all happening at the back,is a nice pub ok atmosphere will visit again.

Lovely visit to this pub polite staff

We had a lovely Sunday roast here this weekend. There are new owners and they made sure that our meals were delicious and took excellent care of us. They even came out with extra Yorkshire puddings for our children when they heard how much they liked it. A fair price for delicious food, a little bit more meat would have been generous. The playground is perfect to keep the younger kids entertained and parking was easy.

We enjoyed a Wonderful Sunday Lunch , Delicious 😃👌😃 Lovely relaxing environment with friendly staff 😃🤩😃 Highly Recommend ⭐️👍⭐️

Had the best fish finger sandwich with my mate. What a wonderful boozer.

Nice pub shame about the food. Sunday lunch - tough meat, frozen vegetables ( some still uncooked) , ready made yorkshire puds. Definitely not a traditional English pub Sunday lunch . Wouldn't recommend.

One of the nicest burgers I’ve had! Really nice little pub just outside Cambridge. On the pricey side but absolutely worth it. I hope to stop by again.

Great little local pub, filled with the kind of old world charm you'd expect, but with a complimentary modern decor. Good choice of ales and ciders, and the food is anecdotally very good too

Great food, staff really polite and helpful. Group of 16, kids and toddlers and it was a really great experience. Would recommend. Great garden for the kids too!

Had a lovely Sunday roast, plenty to eat and well presented. Staff very attentive, very enjoyable meal. 😀

Food was absolutely fantastic great staff friendly and really know what they are on about great Sunday thanks and cheap !!!!

Absolutely perfect roast dinner . Our 2nd visit since the new landlady arrived and we love it here . Food is always piping hot and tastes amazing. All the girls serving are lovely and polite , landlady a lovely lady . We will definitely be back .

Very nice roast dinner and dessert, just a bit annoyed with 10% service charge on bill, think it's cheeky and would put me off returning. I do tip with cash I don't like to be forced into it bit rude I think!

Beautiful food , lovely staff great service..will definitely visit again.

Nice pub , friendly staff good traditional pub food . Gluten free available, I had the gluten free fish and chips which was delightful . Would recommend.

Enjoyable atmosphere and great service. The food was great, tasty and hot. Unfortunately it was a bit cool for sitting comfortably without a coat.

Really nice place. Friendly staff and great food.

Great service from the nice lady serving, good wholesome pub food delivered really quick. Thanks for a nice lunch guys.

Great service, great food. Went for dinner on Saturday evening for the first time since the pub reopened. The atmosphere was good, with a mix of clientel. Families in the restaurant, drinkers in the bar, everyone enjoying themselves. The food was great! I had the steak and ale pie, which was tender and rich, with a light and tasty casing. The chips were among the best I've tasted and as for dessert! The cheesecake was divine! The rest of the family enjoyed the food too, especially the kids, who got a dessert included in their meal price, which was very reasonable. Clean plates all round! All of this was served to us by happy, attentive staff, who neither kept us waiting, or rushed us to leave once we'd finished (It was busy). In fact they made us feel like we were the only ones there, chatting with the kids and amending the items we ordered (the kids are fussy eaters lol) as well as getting us extra sauces etc. I would highly recommend this place for families, especially as they have a large play area outside!

Excellent service and good quality food would definitely be going back

Slightly out of central Cambridge but this place deserve a visit. It's pretty good pub with very homey atmosphere. Has a nice garden with children's play area, dogs are welcome, has a large capacity, food is great (options for vegans and celiacs) and staff are...

We’ve visited the Lion & Lamb a few times now, it’s always been over priced for what it is but it’s local to the country park where we meet for dog walks. Last visit has really put us off. The menu was so much smaller...

What a time to start a new restaurant. Sky high food and fuel costs, and succeeding a highly rated operator. Things weren't as good as they might have been, not highly busy but had to wait and iit struck cold. However the portions were generous,...

The hamburger is EXPECTACULAR. 100% recommendable.

Went to a wake, buffet very goof and helpful staff

Slightly out of central Cambridge but this place deserve a visit. It's pretty good pub with very homey atmosphere. Has a nice garden with children's play area, dogs are welcome, has a large capacity, food is great (options for vegans and celiacs) and staff are absolutely brilliant. It is one of my top 3 pubs in Cambridge. I only regret that the owners haven't decided yet to open more pubs around Cambridge. I hope they do :)

A bit pricey. The 'aged' Roast beef was tough. The rest of the food was reasonably ok

We did a quick pop in in a busy time, the staff were welcoming and found us a table.

Went out for a works meal, food was superb! Can definitely recommend the ribs

We've been coming to Lion and Lamb for a couple of years now and we've had nothing but a pleasant experience everytime—so it was a no-brainer that we wanted to have lunch there with our guests after our kid's christening. As usual, the staff were friendly, the service excellent, and the food perfect.

This is a lovely pub with a generally good ambience. The food is excellent. But if you want a cosy meal in front of the fabulous roaring fire you will be hard pushed to find it as that area also houses a TV screen which will be put on if other customers request it and without the courtesy of asking customers sitting right beside it. And I meant at 90 degrees at the very end of the table. This appears to be totally acceptable behaviour as far as the pub staff are concerned but seems rather rude to me, as they are unregretful. The customers who wanted the TV on suggested we ignore it... it was right there though and they'd have been entertained by watching us eat as well as the TV as they are so close to each other. The staff did offer and we moved to the restaurant but it doesn't have the same ambience as the fireside without TV. I wouldn't be writing negative feedback if they had been in any way apologetic. And I'm not leaving this feedback without having addressed the matter directly with them first either. I emailed my feedback and suggested they made guests aware they might put the TV on if other customers wished it so. Their suggestion was to ask for a table in the restaurant in future to avoid being near the TV. At no time did they or have they said sorry for having to move and inconvenience us or for not asking if it was OK to put the TV on. So, whilst there is much that is good about the pub, the manners of their staff are lacking. It made us feel unwelcome and that the staff don't care if you're not happy with something. And I have also cancelled a future booking off the back of this experience. The staff are the face of the business which is in hospitality even though it did not feel hospitable.

Good food but so expensive,I don't think is worth for the price

Food was excellent, the decor very christmassy right now. Well worth a lunchtime visit.

Pokojné posedenie, pohodlné, príjemná obsluha, slušný výber pív, jedál a ostatných alkoholických a nealkoholických nápojov. Dostatok miesta na parkovanie.

Nicely decorated for Halloween but drinks were ridiculously expensive.

My mum took me here for my birthday lunch.. I had steak! Was amazing! Lovely lady behind bar was lovely! Booked in for the following week as planned pumpkin picking with my family in Milton and came here afterwards for lunch! Kids had Mac and...

Food eas really good and very polite staff

This is the perfect pub to eat in the heated marquee while your kids play in the play area! The food was very good too & they had a kids early free offer over half term, much appreciated. The pub had gone all out on...

I don’t really know how to review this place because I walked an hour here expecting them to be open til 5 and serve food that whole time, based on GMaps and their website - only to arrive at 3:31 and be told THEY STOP FOOD AT 3 and CLOSE AT 4. So I’m very unhappy to have walked all this way expecting a yummy Sunday roast at a new place. I will try again at some point but will definitely call first.

Delicious food and a warm service, recommend for lunch or dinner

Great food and service. Been several times and never disappointed. Had fish today and you could taste how fresh it was.
