The Lamb in Wiltshire

Service is good. Staff are heplful, atmosphere nice. However, the quality of the food is most certainly not proportional to the cost. I had the Trout Pastrami as a starter, it was dry, the teaspoon full of horseradish sauce was so over powering, that instead of complementing the trout it just killed it. All of this was pulled on a dry old piece of soda bread. The side vegetables were tasteless and also dry.

Excellent friendly service. All four of us enjoyed the well prepared lunch from a widespread menu in a comfortable dining room.

This was our first visit to The Lamb. Lovely setting and a warm welcome. Food and drinks were excellent. Would recommend.

The moment you walk in the door you receive a warm welcome. The room we stayed in was amazing, four poster bed! And a luxurious soak in the big bath tub 😊 food from breakfast to dinner was delicious. Cannot recommend enough

I called ahead because I wanted to check that lunch would still be available at 3.00 pm. You can only speak to an automated system. It took and confirmed by text my booking for lunch at 3.00 pm. When I arrived, there was no lunch available, only sandwiches. Had the 'robot' said that the kitchen closed at 3.00 pm, I would have stopped earlier elsewhere. The waiter merely observed that "There's not a lot I can do about it." If The Lamb is going to rely on a robot, they need to give it the right instructions!

Wonderful lunch, beautiful pub and atmosphere. Parking is easy, everything is beautifully presented.

We had a delicious lunch - service was friendly and efficient. Loved the small pudding concept!

Great food, attentive service and a fine selection of drinks. Would absolutely visit here again.

A truly fantastic stay, staff were super friendly, welcoming and extremely good fun. Our room was absolutely wonderful even a doggy hamper supplied! The food was brilliant with a wide range of choice.

We had a lovely lunch at The Lamb on Saturday 26 October. Service was excellent and the food outstanding, we would definitely recommend.

We visited the Lamb during our holiday stay and found all staff very welcoming and nothing was to much trouble. The food was delicious so the Lamb became our "regular" for the remainder of our holiday. Highly recommended.

We popped in for lunch with our dog on the way to a weekend break on the south coast. What a find!! It’s a lovely little village and the pub was wonderful. Really cosy and inviting and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful Our lunch, sat by the fire, was perfect, really tasty, we particularly liked the mini pud and coffee. Just the right size to finish off our meal. Would totally recommend.

Lovely pub. Good beer.Delicious food. Excellent service. Pretty village.

Excellent Sunday Lunch for 12. Everyone had a great meal and the staff were excellent. Would recommend. Visited the Lamb last year and would have given it two stars being kind. Only went there after other choices were already booked for a large group. Vast improvement under the new management and I’m delighted to see such a legendary local hostelry back on its feet.

The exterior of the Lamb on first impression is beautiful. Stepping into the place was a lovely warm welcoming environment. The very attractive inglenook fire place had the fire going, the place was buzzing with people either sitting by the bar having a few drinks or people in the restaurant area having a meal. We was staying for the night so made our way to the Inns reception desk. We was greeted by a member of staff who was very helpful and showed us to our room. The room was lovely, warm, very clean, nice hot rainforest head shower and nice selection of teas and condiments on the tea tray. We went for dinner in the restaurant and was greeted by a man called Ian who we believe is the restaurant manager. What a lovely gentleman he is. He took care us from start to finish. He was very friendly, very professional and clearly knows his trade. We really wanted the 35 day matured steak as we previously looked at the menu online, but just before we ordered a table of 12 cleared the place out of steaks!!!! Very disappointed we was. We explained to Ian that we drove a long way from north London for their steaks and he said leave it with me. He came back a little while longer and said he can muster up an offcut but as a starter to share. We said absolutely and we both ordered the beer battered haddock for main course. The steak was melt in the mouth, extremely well cooked by the hard working chefs and the Fish and chips was amazing. Absolutely no complaints and totally clean plates. Ian made all this happen. What a top guy. You can see the way he has a system and connection going with the chefs to produce the quality of service. Well done Ian 👏. We had a fabulous night's sleep and breakfast was also a great experience. Quality ingredients make the full English top class. The morning staff were also lovely and helpful. Great experience all round and we will definitely be back to stay again. We are currently in exmoor now but we loved the food so much we have booked The Lamb for Sunday lunch for 2:30pm today on our way back to London.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere and a delicious, unhurried lunch with good friends. Be aware of the steps! We've been before and will go again.

We enjoyed our visit for lunch with family

On an Autumn Saturday, with the village playing host to a wedding party, we were nevertheless greeted and seated faultlessly. A friendly member of staff showed us to our table, allowing time for the rest of the party to arrive. Nothing was too much trouble, including bringing a vast selection of mustards when my husband requested one!

Drinks took a while to arrive. As did the food, the batter on both the haddock mains were overdone which was a shame as the lamb cottage pie was good. When mentioning the issue to the waiter He said “no worries” which was a strange response

We were two couples meeting up as a halfway house for an early lunch on a Wednesday. The food was a cut above most pub food, and we enjoyed excellent service. It is a definitely a quality pub which we're happy to frequent. As it is a Young's pub, their beer is superb, of course.

Perfect lunch stop just off the A303, highway to the sun.

Always great food, atmosphere is excellent. Highly recommend taking friends or family for a decent time out.

What a lovely place for all the family. The room was lovely and clean. Food was amazing and breakfast was even better. Staff were amazing but if in doubt ask for John he's your man 👌 Will be coming back again.

The hotel is a typical old English style. Very cosy beautiful building nicely decorated.

Our first time at The Lamb Hindon. We met with some friends and were looked after by Ruth. The.pub was heaving, being a bank holiday. Ruth was an absolute gem: lovely, friendly, fun, laid back. We all 4 enjoyed our dinner and would definitely go back.

12 of us had a family Sunday lunch.Food and service was good

Lamb inn … Rob was brilliant ! Thank you !!

Excellent service and food. Friendly staff and great decor and cleanliness. Thoroughly enjoyed a family meal out.

Great pub! Lovely food! Comfy bed! Good range of beers!

A great spot , beautiful visit and handy for those regular trips on the 303. Staff were helpful and friendly and the wine was excellent although pricey! However, the starter didn’t provide sufficient bread for the camembert so more had to be ordered and the meals ( all roasts) were really disappointing as the Yorkshire puddings were overcooked and verging on burnt, and the roast veg felt like warmups from lunchtime. We were asked if our food was alright, but when you are treating friends to a meal out, it spoils the atmosphere to say anything negative. We will probably choose another venue next time we need a break in our journey.

Great service. Excellent food (with compliments to the chef!). A broad variety of wines and ales (Cornish IPA Proper Job, my favorite). Garden on the other side of the road. Dog friendly.

We used the restaurant for the 2nd time. For the 2nd time we were blown away by the quality of food. I will be suggesting that Wilton Rotary Club pay a visit here.

So glad we found this pub! Credit to them for having a kitchen that is open all day, it benefits travellers like us who can’t always co-ordinate travel with limited kitchen hours. The sausages were AMAZING!!! Extremely clean and charismatic pub. The owners clearly work hard to produce a quality experience. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This hotel seems to operate on the idea of just serving the guests. It does not matter what the request, even if the staff are off duty, they will try to do their best. I would like to especially commend Rob, who went above and beyond to help, and Mandi, who is just the most lovely host you could possibly ask for. If you are looking for a hotel in this area, then this is the only one you should try. But book fast, the word of their service is getting out.

Called in on spec - we’d not been there before - and what a find it was. The food was excellent, the team looking after us were cheerful and friendly and the pub is split into a number of small rooms so it felt cosy. Everything about The Lamb was spot on. We’d happily return and would wholeheartedly recommend it.

Absolutely delicious lunch and friendly lovely staff. We were breaking our journey from Cornwall to London and The Lamb is a favourite place. We were an hour late arriving for our table (we did call to let them know!) and they were very accommodating and fitted us in an hour later. Dog friendly too with treats for our dog who was drooling at all the delicious smells emanating from the kitchen! Would highly recommend. A lovely pub with a great atmosphere and consistently good food.

Well, what a find! We stopped off en route East Sussex > Cornwall and found a warm welcome and an extensive and delicious menu, expertly served by Rob and Alex! The food was served quickly and was superbly cooked. Fish and meat equally good with beautifully prepared vegetables. And the prices are more than reasonable. We had such a good time that when travelling back from Cornwall three days later we lunched there again. Equally good. Congrats to all in the kitchen and to the serving staff. Cannot recommend too highly!

Lovely pub with many seating options - inside, patio and raised garden opposite. Very attractive interior with plenty of seating. Good menu with pub classics - burger and chips were both excellent. Very friendly charming service.

Excellent stay and food amazing. Nice and clean and I can be a bit fussy! Great welcome pack for my dog too. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. It was a real treat and good value.

What a wonderful, quaint and beautiful pub in a rural location. We went on a hike around the estate from Tisbury and come across the Lamb in Hindon. I’m so glad we did our welcome to the pub was amazing, lovely smiling welcome with a run down of the pub and the menus on offer. Choice of where to sit and then the menu, typical pub grub but boy oh boy was the food magnificently delicious. Having the beef burger on offer and the haddock and chips (with curry sauce and tartare sauce) it was mouthwatering looking at it. The batter on the fish was cooked to perfection the correct golden colour to crisp. The chips with chunky salt and then the condiments well the curry sauce was perfect, right flavour even on a small amount and then the homemade tartare sauce perfect combination for this magnificent meal. The beef burger was perfectly cooked with the moisture of the meat, with the thickness of the meat it was succulent.

When you’ve been on the A303 for several hours with at least that to go this place is a perfect stop off. Real ale and quality food, friendly service

The room, service, and food were great. They were very accommodating with our 8 month old son. We would recommend and stay again. Thanks.

Service was non-existent. Food was average at best.

Very disappointing from start to finish. After arriving at the bar we were not offered a drink, instead staff continuously walked past. After being sent to our table menus were brought over a good 15 minutes later. No one returned to the table to take our order, and when we asked it felt a chore to them. We were not asked if we wanted more drinks instead after drawing attention we were shouted at from the bar to be asked about what we wanted. Again the same story for dessert, We were made to feel we were a real hindrance from start to finish and we will not be returning. This is a shame as the food was good quality.

Shared a lovely 3 course Sunday roast with good friends in this friendly relaxed pub. Service was really good and so was the food. Definitely recommend dining out here. Dogs were welcome, even though we didn’t take ours on this occasion. Enjoyed ending off the meal sitting in the courtyard with coffees, listening to birdsong. Great day out.

Amazing place. We had a Sunday roast for a lunch and then a nice flat white coffee in the garden.

Lovely country pub but expensive.

Had an amazing lunch here, was a real treat! Perfectly placed for anyone walking the Wessex Ridgeway as well - well worth popping in!

Had a yummy lunch at The Lamb recently. Great service, fab sandwiches and light meals washed down w yummy ale! Perfect

We didn't eat or have a room, just a couple pints but the Lamb seemed busy and the staff were very welcoming.

A lovely, atmospheric coaching Inn with very good pub food

Good food and a lovely cozy pub. The staff were friendly but a bit slow, and the kids desserts weren't available when we went. If the service could match the setting it would be perfect.

Stayed for two nights, enjoyed comfy beds and great breakfast in beautiful village with great staff

Such a shame. We went for a roast with my mum. The service was slow. Things were missing from the food and had to be brought out later on. We gave up when the desserts had bits missing from what was stated on the menu. The meat I thought was very good. The veg was good, but the roast potatoes were terrible. When paying £25 for a roast it should be exceptional.

Lovely atmosphere and good fooc

We were staying overnight and had dinner as well. Really welcoming and very well run hotel. Dinner was very good and service great

Totally underwhelmed. Basic food, heating not working, and nobody asked if the food was OK. Will not return or recommend this business to anyone.

Underwhelmed by the food. Heating was not working, nobody came to check on the service , and the food was very basic, berger and chips was exactly what was on the plate. Lack of attention was the impression we left with. Will not be returning anytime soon....

Great pub, lovely atmosphere, fabulous food and attentive service. The ambience inside is very comfortable and the rooms are warm which was great having visited on a chilly day outside. The food choices were exciting and a little different - lovely to not know what to choose. The food did not disappoint in any way. The team involved were cheerful and attentive throughout - they handled allergies and GF request with respect and attention to details - well done!

Excellent pub with good rooms and food and staff. Ideal halfway stop off point on way to Cornwall.

Delightful English country pub, full of atmosphere, log fires, friendly staff, and charming bedrooms. We came for two nights but stayed for three, hard to leave this relaxed atmosphere.

A lovely homely pub, acoustics good, not too nosiy despite it being busy. Food was good, but arrived warm and so didn't stay that way for long; please heat the plates first and ensure food is piping hot on arrival at the table. A little bit dispapoointed in the cauliflower cheese though; once the roasts were delivered, we were asked if we wanted any and we agreed on 3 between 5, assuming they were part of the roast dish. On paying we were charged an additional £18.00, a bit of a shock as they were very small (souffle pot size) for the cost and misleading on the menu as we think it was called 'Pitchfork Mac & Cheese'. Think the waitress should have made us aware they were not part of the roast costs.

We stayed over night at The Lamb and its was absolutely lovely. The 12th century building is beautiful and the inside is tastefully decorated. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. Our room for the night was perfect, the shower was amazing! Bed very comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. Before dinner we headed to the bar area for a few pre-dinner drinks. The open fire was so welcoming. We got chatting to another couple who were stopping over with their dog. They were returning customers. Dinner was fantastic and super tasty. Probably the best 'sausage and mash' I've ever had. Portion sizes were perfect and the restaurant setting was lovely. All in all we couldn't fault it and would happily return next time we are in the area.

Nice pub, lovely staff and really nice food. We were meeting two friends for lunch and we decided on the Lamb in Hindon and it was an excellent choice.

Lovely food in an atmospheric old pub. We both had steak, from the excellent selection butchered for the pub, listed daily on a chalk board. It was well cooked, exactly to our liking, served with triple cooked chips and we added a selection of sides of our choosing. There was a good choice of wine to complement the food. We were staying over and the lovely rooms, excellent food and friendly service will definitely tempt us to come again.

We had a brilliant meal here as a party of eight, including two children. We’ve visited before and were pleased to come back. The food was great, the service attentive, and the atmosphere lovely. Highly recommended - take a stroll around the village while you’re here.

Had a lovely time with my family the pub was beautiful the fires were lit and was very cozy and warm. The food was outstanding and staff couldn't had been anymore helpful. Will definitely be returning very soon. Would love to stay and see what the rooms and breakfast are like and bring our dog and take him on one of there dog walks that the staff were telling us all about Thank you again to all of you at the lamb

Food is excellent the room are really comfortable and have really nice touches. Staff friendly and helpful will definitely be back

Thank you for the lovely meal. It was my father's 89th birthday and you made it feel special. Thanks for bringing out our cake and joining in the singing! Such a nice country pub and restaurant. Thanks again.

Stayed here on a business trip, rooms are very nice, well presented and have all you would need from a Nespresso machine to snacks. Bed is very comfortable and large walk in shower. Food is also very good & would highly recommend. Have already booked to come back again.

We had a superb Sunday lunch. Friendly welcome and service. Perhaps the beef could have been just slightly thinner and pink (but this is a personal preference). Will be back!

Having booked in to stay at The Lamb, we decided to subsequently book in for a meal with them on that same night. Ruth had checked us in for our stay and answered any questions we had before we could ask them, Rob was our server for the meal, he was attentive, talkative and very welcoming. The only reason that it isn't 5 stars across the board is that the atmosphere was slightly lacking, but this was a rural pub on a random Tuesday in January, the atmosphere was never going to be perfect. However from our meal and through our stay, Ruth, Rob and the team at The Lamb were all fantastic and that's not even taking time to talk about the amazing quality of the food (the baked camembert was one of the best we've had). We both had a full 3-course meal, plus drinks and it was all awesome.

Superb breakfast. Didn’t expect anything less, as we love the Sunday linch here. The Lamb is always so warm and inviting. I feel like staying for hours after eating there, curled up with a good book - which they also provide in the little nook at the end of the pub!

Very relaxing 2 night stay straddling Christmas Day 2023. Room perfect and food excellent. Highly recommended.

Lovely Food Lovely Service and Amazing Staff Really nice atmosphere and it was lovely and warm The place is so clean and Great Menu Actually makes it quite hard to choose but means a return visit is a must Quality of the Food and Service outstanding This place is a real credit to the management

Warm, friendly and welcoming. Great food with a good selection for different tastes and a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you

Lucy was courteous and informative. Food was absolutely fantastic. The beer battered haddock was awesome. Great atmosphere, siting of tables in different dining areas may contribute to the dining experience. Also lovely Argentinian melbec. 😍

Had a lovely family Xmas Lunch. Food ,Staff & Service were excellent.

Mandi was our server and was amazing. The whole team went above and beyond by giving us a private room as we were a large group, gathering for an early family Christmas.

Visited lunchtime for the Christmas Party meal. Lovely pub and efficient staff. Starter of Crab and Lobster good but main Turkey meal lacking somewhat in vegeatables. Too much Roast Potato and Parsnip and no Pigs in Blankets, Red Cabbage or Caulflower Cheese. Carrots were mushed up which I don't like, prefer them whole. Spouts were so hard you could barely get your teeth into them. We've had better.

Enjoyed Sunday lunch at The Lamb. First visit and was impressed will br back.

We (4 chaps) had booked for a gentleman's evening out to enjoy a nice steak dinner. Pub was very quiet and all night it remained largely empty with 1 other visible dinner plus a shooting party of around 12 in one of the other rooms. Atmosphere suffered and whilst its not in the team's control it was very surprising on a Thursday night in the lead up to Christmas. Main two issues were the very limited steak options which given its one of their 'big' selling points was very disappointing. Just 6-7 sirloin steaks left, everything else not available! Either they had a significant run on steaks or are not managing the rotation in the air dryer for the meat to ensure good supply. Once ordered we waited on the food and when it arrived it was luke warm to the point it could not melt the accompanying Confit Butter, needed the sauce to add some warmth and basically required you to inhale your steak just to have a warm meal. Server noted this but offered no apology just asked if we wanted them reheated...turning medium rare to medium or well done! Would have understood if the kitchen was very busy but at this point could not see any other occupied tables, even the shooting party were still just drinking. At £38 a steak it would have been a better experience and perceived value to have a hot meal that you could saviour. We have all eaten here before and had lovely roast dinners so very disappointed. The value versus price did not match and for a destination for steak, will think again before going back for a nice steak dinner with friends.

The four of us had a lovely evening, the old pub building is lovely, full of character and the staff most welcoming. The menu had plenty of choice without being too big, so you new all the food would be fresh. The prices area reasonable...

Amazing venue, lovely atmosphere and the food was out of this world! Really friendly staff, dog friendly, highly recommended.

Very interesting menu in a relaxed setting. Attentive staff when needed otherwise left alone to enjoy the food. Worth looking out for if you are in the area- we walked!

We've been coming here for many years, mainly to meet midpoint with friends for Sunday lunch. As ever, we were not disappointed. The roast sirloin was excellent, with plenty and varied veg, and service was quick and efficient. We have no doubt we will return...

A wonderful stay at a lovely pub. Rooms really well appointed and comfortable, a fabulous Sunday roast and the staff are delightful and helpful. The surrounding area is beautiful, lots of great walks. Highly recommended.

Stayed for a few days. Recently refurbished. Warm fires, warm bed and warm staff. Definitely go again!

This pub/hotel has the most friendly staff I have ever encountered, they go out of their way to make sure we're enjoying our time and even get involved in our jokes. The food is absolutely delicious, and the rooms are lovely, I would 100% consider coming back here whenever I'm in the area 10/10

Hands down the best Sunday lunch I've had in a long time. The food is beautiful, service friendly and welcoming, especially as we had a large group last minute with kids and dogs and the venue itself is a perfect country pub with fires and couches so you can settle in for an afternoon on a cold wet day. We also stayed overnight and can highly recommend as a weekend getaway. Clean comfy rooms with a great selection in the honesty bar as well as oat milk for the morning coffee. Breakfast was amazing, great selection of cooked food that was perfectly prepared as well as pastries, fruit and cereal. Nothing was too much trouble and we wished we'd booked for longer! We'll definitely be back! Thank you for making our stay so wonderful!

we have visited this pub a few times over the years & it has been v good, but sadly it was disappointing, we were a group of 6 & all had roasts, the gravy was like water no taste, the roast potatoes were not crispy at all, the red cabbage was tasteless as well, they had run out of cauliflower cheese, all in all not good & cost a lot of money. we wont go back im afraid.

We enjoyed a really delicious lunch in this lovely pub. As a large family party with young children, we were very well accommodated in a beautiful room and looked after very well by the very friendly and efficient staff. They were very attentive and made...

Disappointed that the Salt Marsh lamb was not available but 3 of us plumped for the lamb pie with brown beans and peas instead. Unfortunately no broad beans were found in anyone’s pie which was disappointing. We all felt the filling was lacking in quantity....

Fantastic food, great atmosphere, good service. What more can you ask? Will be returning as soon as possible.

We have been lunching at The Lamb for over six years now. After the recent refurbishment we visited yesterday and enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch. Great service and a very happy atmosphere. Thank you team.

We visited for a Sunday roast. The scallop starter was excellent, but the roast was fabulous with a selection of all meat choices. Only slight criticism was the temperature of the room was slightly chilly, but the hospitality was very warm!

Dinner was, on the whole, a very positive and highly enjoyable, experience. The heating was not working, we asked to move by the open fire, but couldn't. Staff did their best and brought an electric fire. Food was excellent, though the Sabayon was more like...

After reading a glowing review of Sunday lunch here in the Times (and how impossible it was for the reviewer to finish the 'generous' portions) we popped over the day after publication, and sadly, after a (fairly overlong) wait was served a not very warm half plate (at best) of genuine disappointment. We didnt have daft expectations, being fairly easy going (honestly!) but the request for feedback motivated me to follow up where I would've otherwise left it to the 'oh well' nevermind file. I have no idea if the reviewer had mixed up notes with Lore of the Land pub in that London, or a.n. other more proficient kitchen closer by (we live in Wiltshire btw), but I've never eaten anywhere where the reality was so substantially disconnected from the media write up. On the plus side, kind staff and much better decor than its previous tartaneverywhere incarnation, but I can't believe a food centric pub with this many covers can get away with only 2 actual toilets - for the whole place?! The queue during a v. quiet part of Sunday mid afternoon for same summed things up rather. Ho hum.
