The Lamb in Sedgemoor

Reluctantly writing a review about the fantastic Lamb in Axbridge. I don’t want you to know how brilliant the food is, or how wonderful the staff are, you might fill the place. But, feel compelled to share we love this place for lunch, dinner or just a couple of pints! Don’t go, it’s fantastic! And definitely don’t have the superb fish n chips!

A wonderfully accommodating pub even when they were fully booked. lovely staff always helpful meaning you’re served with a smiling face and old fashioned British hospitality. The manager was great to chat with and offered great advice on local trips sightseeing spots. The pub was a very memorable part of our trip to lovely Axbridge

Had a really nice meal here. As we hadn't reserved a table, there were none left in the restaurant but they told us we could sit in the pub area and eat, which we preferred because it has so much character and the Olympics was on. The food tasted really nice and was reasonably priced and my husband especially enjoyed the beers on offer. Easy to park in the main square for the pub and can also sit outside.

Realky nice food. Found as we stayed at near by B&B. I had the trout salad and hubby had gammon egg and chips. Great meals. Lovely dinner inside. Great service.,

I don't usually write reviews but I have just eaten the beef burger and I am devastated that it is finished. One of the best burgers I have ever eaten. It is very special.

Best steak I’ve had this year, better than Miller and Carter. I have to faff now because this site insists on 100 characters and I don’t even count as one. Anyway thoroughly enjoyable meal

My family and I had the pleasure of eating here on Sunday 22nd October. I had called the Lamb Inn at 2.30pm whilst we were in Paignton Zoo in the hope of a table for four that night at 6.30pm. Holding out little hope at such short notice the receptionist placed me on hold to check with her colleagues and amazing she arranged a table for us at 6.30pm. When we arrived we were shown to our reserved table and offered a menu. We ordered an assortment of ciders, soft drinks and cocktails which promptly arrived and then ordered food. Reading the menu it all sounded delicious but my daughter was hoping for a Sunday roast. She is a vegetable and gravy loving monster, but due to the time this was no longer being served. Seeing her disappointment I asked the staff member if it was possible to have a Sunday roast and she stunned us by saying that she would have it made especially as long as we didn't mind receiving a multitude of different vegetables instead of the ones in the menu, my daughter was over the moon. When the food arrived it looked amazing and tasted delicious. The Sunday roast was staggering. There were mountains of vegetables, crispy potatoes, parsnips, cabbage and peas and two large thick slices of beef hidden under a huge Yorkshire pudding smothered in gravy. Then the waitress brought out a full boat of gravy just for my daughter. Just above and beyond. This Inn is a real Gem. Quaint, Friendly and accommodating. Thank you everyone working at the Lamb Inn you are all a credit to your employer. Keep up the great five star customer service.

Having had a very good Sunday lunch on the 10th September my wife and I knew we'd be back in the Axbridge area for a week staying at our son's house and arriving late on Saturday 7th October. Thus when we paid our bill on the 10th September at the bar and engaging in a lot of chat we 100% booked for Sunday 8th October and this was entered onto the Lamb's system.. We were even asked if we wanted the same places but said we'd like a change and this was all booked in. Having just returned from abroad, I thought out of courtesy I'd check our lunch time as well as confirm we would be on time. To our great shock we were told our booking didn't exist and the Lamb was full. So someone at the Lamb seriously fouled up. Apologies no good since for some reason our booking had disappeared and there was no compromise. What I thought should have happened is an admittance of an error and an attempt to fit in 2 people but this did not happen. Needless to say we are still quite disgusted after leaving it a few days to reflect on this gross inefficiency. We support local food outlets but no wonder they are closing down in the area if that's how customers are treated. J.Breen

We ate at the Lamb Inn on 2 consecutive nights during a short stay in Axebridge after finding it by chance. Can’t speak highly enough of this place from the excellent service and friendliness from its young well trained staff, the cleanliness of the interior and the quality and presentation of the food. The Sunday roast was one of the best we’ve ever had, fresh vegetables, generous portions , really tasty. It offered my husband a separate gluten-free menu, something that is often hard to find and really appreciated as it just added to our wonderful experience. The only downside, we don’t live close enough to be regulars.

Sat outside front of pub, for lunch, sadly local workmen were spending their lunch hour drinking, smoking and swearing standing around the front doorway right by the tables where we were eating our food. My fish cake, saag aloo and egg dish was swimming with oil so was swapped for the fish goujons in a roll which was at least edible. All the meals are way over priced for the size and £4:50 for a very small potion of chips is ridiculous when they should be included (as with most other establishments) We definitely would not recommend visiting for lunch

We popped in for dinner although we were a bit early and ended up having a drink and waiting until they started serving food. Have to say, the food was lovely and the staff were excellent. Very friendly and welcoming. Beer's good too, a decent selection. I loved the Butcombe "Tall Tales" IPA which I can definitely recommend.

Lovely pub, I stopped for lunch, friendly staff, delicious food, lovely atmosphere and sensible prices. I would highly recommend this place.

Went on a Saturday night. Despite pub being very busy we were seated promptly and well looked after throughout the evening. Food when it came was excellent - generous portions and all tasted superb. The steak was a particular highlight - the best I’ve had in a long time. Everything was very reasonably priced. The pub itself as a venue is lovely - very traditional and for a high end pub meal as opposed to a restaurant type experience I would strongly recommend.

We walked from Cheddar Woods Resort and Spa which took approx 20 mins which went along The Strawberry Line. When we arrived we got greeted by a lovely lady behind the bar (can't remember her name but she had two plaits) We had booked so got taken to our table which was ready. We got given our menus and got asked what we would like to drink. We saw some specials on the board (2) also. My husband had Chicken & Ham pie,mash and brocolli, myself a small portion of Haddock & Chips & peas, my son Fishcake & Chips & peas and my daughter Chicken Thigh, Chips and brocolli. My husband said the pie was quite bland, my fish and chips were quite greasy but the fish in the batter was lovely and fresh. My son & daughter enjoyed there meals. From there the service went downhill, we constantly had to ask for things and the wait for the desserts was long. My children had the Brownie Sundae and the biscoff doughnuts which were children's portions at £4.95. My daughters was quite good value but my sons doughnuts were two small balls stuffed with biscoff and a small ball of ice cream which we thought for the price wasn't good value. We thought the food was expensive for what we got and had better elsewhere on the holiday but we visited on a Wednesday which you can get 25% off using the Butcombe app as they are part of this group. Overall probably wouldn't return.

Sturdy-looking pub in a lovely little square in a fairly niche location. Interior nicely done. Efficient and friendly service and solid level of cooking. Good beer too. Safe bet if nearby.

Well, the old adage in the restaurant business of, 'you are only as good as your last service' certainly fits with todays visit. 02/07/2023 Very sadly I have to say that the Sunday roast at The Lamb Inn was just about OK and certainly not up to previous standards when my wife and I have eaten before. I had the beef roast which was described as being cooked as medium rare with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and seasonal veg, finished with red wine gravy. The beef was over cooked, one slice being a little crispy. Neither slice was medium rare. The potatoes were cooked ok but certainly not roast. The parsnips were quite underdone and not roast either. My Yorkshire pudding was well done on the top and the base a little soggy. The gravy was possibly being of the packet kind and a little salty. My wife had the turkey roast (originally supposed to be chicken roast) which was a turkey roll, not as advertised as a turkey roast! The stuffing was tiny and the the complaints about the veg apply to this meal as well. On the plus side, both meals were hot, served on hot plates and were edible, but, and I stress but, nothing to write home about. Very sad as local residents (Cheddar) we have always enjoyed coming over to Axbridge to visit The Lamb. The pub has dropped off my local list.

lovely welcome from the staff..and the locals. good choice of beers,cask,keg and 0% alcohol. the food was lovely,huge portions.part of the butcombe beer trail within the area. axbridge is a lovely old town

Found by accident , was very busy for a Monday and after eating there I understood why . The steak and ale pie was fantastic , couldn't finish my meal . Lovely staff , service was slow because they were so busy

Great evening, fantastic food and lovely friendly helpful staff. Great garden too. Last minute decision to come, so glad we did.

Ruddy lovey! I'm sat in the pub now, leaving a review becuse we've been blown away by the food and staff here. My daughter just said....."if I have to eat the same meal for the rest of my life, it would be this!" She's 7! They bring a finger bowl with the chcken wings. I'l leave it that!

This is my first time here. I was on holiday with my fiancée and very good friends. Firstly, the building and ambience are absolutely lovely. Secondly, the food was good and very tasty if not a little overpriced. Thirdly, the service was excellent, made particularly...

By far the worst roast I've ever had. The 'beef' was so tough I couldn't get my knife through it, and it was too rare, lots of blood. The roast potatoes had obviously been cooked a lot earlier on and tasted like it. The veg...

AMAZING FOOD. HOMEMADE PIE WAS DELICIOUS. STAFF EXTREMELY FRIENDLY, HELPFUL AND VERY WELCOMING. WILL DEFINITELY RETURN.

Love this pub and love Axbridge. I also love most of the food here and the staff are on the whole attentative and friendly. What I don’t love are their Sunday roasts. This is the third time we’ve attempted a Sunday roast with family and...

We visited for dinner during our stop off, after sitting in hours of traffic the staff let us phone through our order so that we didn’t miss out when the kitchen closes at 9pm. The food was so delicious and excellent value for money, the...

We chose this pub after a google search and duly booked a table. The Lamb is a real gem and has it all. Excellent staff, cosy ambience, and superb food. The pint of Butcombe original was the cherry on the cake for my husband. Would...

we had fish and chips served by a welcoming young man. The food was very good. Pity they had run out of the ice cream we wanted for dessert.

Great night in the Lamb, Axbridge. Although busy, they found me a table right in the heart of the pub. Locals are brilliant and very friendly. The menu is not too large and very tempting and the Butcombe beers delicious. This is a proper pub...

A great evening with great food! Had the black pudding salad with optional poached egg, bloody delicious! Great beer with really friendly service, a gem amongst pubs!

We went here for our anniversary meal on a Tuesday evening where it was surprisingly busy. From the moment we entered the Lamb Inn to the moment we left I cannot fault anything. I had the pie of the week which was delicious and my...

The food was ok but not amazing. The heritage beetroot, whipped feta and candied walnuts starter was a bit disappointing and did not match the description on the menu. This dish came as cubes of what looked like store-bought beetroot, cubes of feta (not whipped)...

I know the Lamb of old and yesterday's Sunday lunch confirmed to me that it keeps getting better and better. Beautiful local beef and really tasty sides. Great meal (at a very reasonable price), great staff, great pub in a great location! I'll be back!

I came here with my partner recently for a Sunday roast, having read some reviews. Not being from the area, we thought we would give this place a try. We ordered two roast dinners, one chicken and one beef, and a side of cauliflower cheese....

We came for Sunday lunch today for my mums birthday. We were sat at a lovely table in the restaurant area of the pub - the atmosphere was very cosy and relaxing. We shared a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc which was lovely and...

Fabulous food,great service Lovely atmosphere Very warm and welcoming. Staff very helpful and attentive Really enjoyed the food and paced out well, so we were not rushed at all. Catered for lots of age groups Food was delicious, hot and lots of it. Every request...

This is a very friendly traditional pub, set in the middle of Axbridge, right next to king Johns hunting lodge, well worth a visit.

I'm a little late doing my review as I went in Oct'22 but i couldn't not review when the steak i had was the best i'd ever had (and i have had a few). I had the 8oz Flat iron and my compliments to the...

A group of friends and I booked a Festive Meal at the Lamb. We are all local and want to support local businesses. I am vegetarian. My only choices on the £23.95 menu were mushroom soup and vegetable curry. While curry is not what I...

Yay! very rarely have I voted in favour of a pub, but this is a real gem. Historic building with sophisticated modern interior. On arrival the staff were super friendly-a rarity in tourist spots. The food tasted like it was all freshly made and prices...

We come here a few times a year & the food is always good & the staff friendly. Today we had roast beef x 2 and a pork dinner & it was lovely, served with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes & parsnips, cabbage & swede/carrot mash...

I eat here regularly and the food is very good but the last visit was on a steak night offer which was truly awesome! Two flat iron steaks with sides and a bottle of Malbec for £45 was exceptionally good … we’ll definitely be back...

Visited for a meal with my wife and daughter. The food was really fantastic and the service just as good. I had the whitebait and calamari starter, served with 3 home-made sauces in generous portions which were all delicious. Given a spoon I may well...

We visited this pub twice. It is a lovely old building with service on the square as well as in the garden behind the pub. Worth a visit !

Had a roast dinner and a couple of drinks at The Lamb Inn Axbridge on Sunday 11/09/22. This is an excellent local pub with a real friendly atmosphere. Never disappointed every time we visit and always enjoy the local company. The food is great quality,...

A mixed experience. The drinks were good and the serving staff friendly, competent and helpful. The food was disappointing. Two items on the menu that members of the party had chosen were not available; the vegan option was the vegetarian option with two items removed...

GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER! There is nothing good we can say say about our visit here… it’s was pitiful, even had a warm bottle of Thatchers cider, around May time we had a nice meal there, we went back early June the service was awful,...

We recently visited this establishment and ordered 2 ploughman’s for our lunch. The price was expensive at £14 each meal and the quality was appalling as was the quantity of food on each meal. As typical Brits we did not complain as we should have,...

I have only been to the Lamb a few times when visiting a local friend. On each occasion the food has been really good pub fair. On Monday I had the fried haddock and chips which was really good. Good company and good beer completed...

We were seated quickly. Friendly enough staff but all very young and didn’t really know what to say when we complained about the poor food. One of us ordered a chicken Caesar salad without the dressing but with a side of mayo. They came out...

This is a beautiful pub in a beautiful village square, perfect for sitting out front and enjoying the world go by over a few drinks. Good service too.

I had the best espresso at The Lamb Inn for my birthday from the lovely Verity! Wicked pub with a great atmosphere.

A chef with unselfconscious creative flair. Result: superb food that can be enjoyed for what it is, without oddity or quirkiness. Crispy beef on Thai salad provided an exceptionally good prelude to spinach and lentil curry with (again!) crunchy chicken thigh. We'd had a busy...

Not been here before but was visiting local area so booked a table online. Lovely historic building with lots of beams and character. Sunday lunch was fantastic and the staff were very attentive and service was good. I would recommend this venue for Sunday lunch.

Went to the market this morning and saw a sign outside for breakfast and temptation got the better of me and I’m so glad it did! The breakfast was absolutely fantastic, great quality produce cooked well and served by a very friendly and tentative waitress...

Sat in the patio area at the back to take in the lovely sunshine where some of the staff also sat a few tables away. Rather shocked with the bad language from one female blond member. Used the F word in every sentence. Ordered the...

Needed a light lunch after a drive in local area and called into the square Found the lamb and welcomed warmly Mid week noon so plenty of tables Welcomed by staff and service throughout was very good Drinks orders taken and menus provided I went...

Stopped for an afternoon drink and a quick bite to eat - lovely pub, friendly and helpful staff. This pub has a wonderful beer garden out the back and is dog friendly a real treasure to find!

We had an ok meal at the Lamb Inn, the service was very swift, to the point we felt like we were on a conveyor belt and they just wanted to serve us quick and out. It was a Friday evening, and it was quite...

After reading all the positive reviews, we decided to go for a late lunch/early evening meal. We both had the roast beef, which was very disappointing. Firstly, the meal arrived lukewarm and had to be returned. Everything was put on the plate, whereas usually vegetables...

What a beautiful pub! The lounge area is just decorated beautifully. We booked accidentally via their Facebook page after getting in confused with a similarly named pub only 5mins away. We saw they did Sunday lunches and saw they had lengthy opening hours. (Lots in...

Visited here on a recent holiday. Staff were helpful, polite and friendly. Good range of food to choose from and absolutely delicious, can’t fault the food at all. Lovely atmosphere and great service. Well worth a visit if I’m the area.

Really nice place inside very unique, staff really friendly and food was beautiful, highly recommended the Lamb burger!

We were staying locally and decided to go to the Lamb Inn for Sunday lunch. To be honest it is without doubt up there in the top three (if not the best two) destinations we have visited in the last 12 months for lunch on...

Me and my partner went here recently and we were not impressed, the food was OK but we were waiting around 45 minutes for our starter to arrive. We were informed during this time that there was only one chef working in the kitchen (which...

Great old english pub with lovely staff and great food. You can tell it is good quality food on your plate and the whole atmosphere is lovely and cosy.

Popped in for lunch after a long walk on the Strawberry Line. The Brixham Fish Ciabatta bread bap was delicious, with fresh salad too. I thought it was quite an expensive sandwich at just shy of £10 but it was scrummy. i didn't mind adding...

We stayed in the lovely square that is Axbridge. We decided to go for a drink in the Lamb Inn. The atmosphere was cozy and the bar staff were very friendly. However, we ordered 2 double gins with lemonade which cost £22.25!!!! I was in...

It was a year to the day since I last reviewed a lunch taken at the Lamb with the same friends. This year’s experience was in quite stark contrast with that of last year. It would be very easy to take a dismissive view and...

My wife and I ate here on 2 occasions whilst staying in Axbridge on a walking weekend. The food was excellent and the staff friendly and attentive. The pub itself is full of character. It was about to close for a one month refit. I...

We met friends here for lunch on a lovely sunny autumn day. There is plenty of seating outside which we took advantage of and was lovely. We decide to have a bite of lunch but didn’t want a huge roast (we had seen these coming...

Well main course was very good and dessert tasty but surprised it was served cold (Apple, rhubarb crumble & ice cream). I appreciate food was fresh but service was a little slow.

Literally the nicest pub food I have ever had. Staff were polite. Not overpriced at all. Really good experience.

Reviewed yesterday Fantabulous definitely worth a visit A traditional English olde world venue in a beautiful location ...excellent food and wine...lovely staff and relaxing but special vibe Can't wait to visit again ...Thank you for a lovely evening Colin,Katy and Freddie the dog

Very impersonal even surly service / dried up food / practically thrown on to the table - no garnish - no cutlery - no serviette. The young waiter thought Branson pickle was hoisin sauce- and questioned us when we asked for it to be changed...

Sat outside in the sun people watching with my pot of tea. Lots of interesting locals also to chat to. Very enjoyable and looks a good menu for another day

We went there last week as part of a group. The service was good and friendly although the food did not meet expectations. There was an old geezer sat at a table in the corner and he kept letting loose deafening "fingers in the mouth"...

Beer bang on, the guest and the butcombe. Had food really well cooked. Although the menu was normal pub menu it was cooked to a high standard. The staff throughout were pleasant and welcoming.Busy after 7 so would advise booking. Definitely worth a few beers...

We were staying in the area and on our drive back from Wells called at Axbridge. The weather wasn’t great so we decided to call in here. Luckily we just made it in time for lunch and we were not disappointed the ravioli was one...

Had a late lunch here this weekend. Good service and great food. Portions were very large so choose carefully.

Fabulous visit! After a wild walk around the reservoir we were in need of sustenance! We found a table outside and despite the down pours we were happy under the huge umbrellas. Staff were a delight and very chatty. Food arrived in good time and...

This is a lovely old country pub at the heart of the village. We popped in for lunch and ordered Pizza for my husband and beetroot and walnut salad for me. The meals arrived quite swiftly but on seeing my salad I was so disappointed....

Welcomed in no problem good food choice and service for main course. Unfortunately it went down hill from here no longer were we looked after by the staff, we eventually had to go and find the waiter/waitress to order dessert. The dessert and drinks failed...

We stopped here for lunch mid week. It was sunny. We sat outside. Good section of drinks. I had a chicken ciabatta, which was excellent. My husband had a salad. Not sure they were value for money but they were tasty.

The food was pretty good for the price, but service was borderline unacceptable. We were waiting 30+ minutes for 2 desserts. Crazy.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here after a walk at Cheddar Gorge . Food all tasted great - especially the roast leg of lamb - and was also beautifully presented. The service friendly and efficient. Highly recommend.

We have just holidayed in Cheddar Gorge and happened to visit The Lamb Inn for lunch. What a treat!! The inn itself is charming, quaint and oozes character. The staff were friendly ,helpful and very attentive and the food...... We had the nicest flat mushroom,...

Walked to this pub from Cheddar Woods. Its set in a lovely village square and is very welcoming. We opted for the steak and ale pie and were very happy with our choice, the food was delicious, probably the best pie we have eaten out....

Dont try to have a meal here on your own as they dont serve to those of us wanting a meal before visiting family. Appalling and such dated behaviour.

First meal since lockdown, and it didn’t disappoint. The change of management has had an instant positive impact. C19 rules mean more space and table service.

We were staying locally in Axbridge and visited the Lamb Inn for dinner and were not disappointed. The food was superb! I had the pie of the day (steak) which had been made on site on the day and was absolutely delicious. The service was...

We were staying locally and called in for a breakfast at the farmers market. As it was full at the front we were sent to a table at the back up many steps. The area had not been tidied and was overgrown with weeds. The...

A party of 6 of us booked in for Sunday Lunch on the 30th May. A lovely, sunny day we arrived and walked through a packed outdoor seating area into the pub. We were greeted and seated, drinks and food order taken and settled down...

I was invited for a small private party so we had a room booked for the event. We were able to all be seated and had table service too - all very professionally handled. Several generations in our group - all felt safe and well...

We popped in just for a quick drink, because of COVID we had to sit outside (understandably). Luckily there were plenty of seats and brollies to protect us from a couple of downpours!! They were very COVID compliant regarding, menus, masks, distancing, and plenty of...

We’ve come here for years for Sunday lunch, but our meals today were not as good as we’ve had before. Portion size was small with the individual gravy jug dominating the plate rather than the food. Yorkshire pub info were flat. When one of our...

This is one of only three places I’ve eaten in since the start of the pandemic. I felt the Lamb had very clear procedures to keep its clients safe. The ambience and general decoration were very lovely perhaps because of it being Christmas but it looks like it’s a warm and interesting place at any time of year. All the food was excellent and worthy of a return visit. Axbridge is a delightful place with most interesting buildings and a lovely reservoir to walk around and build an appetite.

I believe the pub is under new management, and they have made it look absolutely stunning. The pub is totally covid friendly, whilst maintaining a lovely atmosphere. The food offering was delicious, with a specials board as well as a main menu. The service second to none, friendly and quick. Would highly recommend booking here, and in fact have booked for New Years Eve.

Fantastic local pub with great food and good beer. The food is excellent value for money and the staff are helpful despite these challenging times Totally recommend

Found this by accident but what great place staff so friendly great service lovely village location cant wait to go back...

Just visited The Lamb and had a great lunch as usual. The manager then told us we had been chosen for their "random act of kindness" and was given the meal for free. Big thank you to all the staff. X
