comment_iconOpinions

Food presentation is abysmal; every course is served in bowls. Starter Fenland Chicken served in small desert bowl, on top of a very small salad (a garnish), not at all easy to manage to cut etc really needed to be on a small plate, I just gave up trying and my husband managed to eat most of mine as well as his. The mains then arrived in bowls too...Mine had sloppy mashed potato, topped with a small lamb shank then covered with red cabbage, not an appetising sight. I scrapped the cabbage to one side and removed the bone which I had to put on a napkin as there was no space for it, and once again cutting was very awkward at an angle and I had to move the meat off the potato, not an enjoyable meal... My husband’s meal of Porchetta (Stuffed Belly Pork) also arrived in a bowl stacked on one half of sloppy mashed potato and the other half red cabbage which looked very messy and not at all appetising. The pork was tough and hard to cut made even worse by being served in a bowl, and was very bland tasting. We ordered desert, a couple of scoops of ice cream for my husband which my husband said was the best part of the meal as it came as expected and had not been messed about with. I ordered Treacle Sponge with ice cream which arrived in a deep sided soup bowl (about 5 inches deep) with the ice cream on top of hot sponge, Although the angle of maneuver was awkward I had to agree with my husband that the sponge was the best part of my meal too.

Called in when in the area hoping they could fit our family in for Sunday Lunch having not booked. So pleased they squeezed us in. Food was fantastic, 3 of us had the turkey and one the nut roast. Portions were generous, lots of vegetables, piping hot, really tasty. Service was excellent lovely staff, can't recommend enough. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Excellent Sunday lunch, we had beef, pork and lamb which were all cooked to perfection. Good selection of vegetables and a boat of full flavour gravy. Desserts of treacle pudding and custard that was traditional and scrumptious. All in all this is an excellent venue for a good well presented meal out. Looking forward to a return visit soon.

This used to be THE place for Sunday Lunch , in fact we never go anywhere else , was bitterly disappointed today . Firstly the generous slices of roast beef were replaced with meat so thin you could see through it . The abundance of vegetables were replaced with 2 small portions between 6 of us , with barely enough to go round and the gravy , well it was so watery and tasteless it completely ruined whatever taste the meat may have had . I told our waitress my thoughts who said oh yes I will tell the chef . A bit late when the hot water posing as gravy had already diluted any taste . Coupled together with £7.95 for a dessert this will no longer be our “ go to” for Sunday lunch . There are better pubs doing far better roasts . Such a shame

Travelled 22 miles round trip on recommendation this evening to visit the Lamb and Flag. First impressions, not a particularly warm welcome, the locals at the bar seemed hard pressed to pull their chairs in to let people pass into the restaurant! However the pub is nice, clean and we were given a lovely table for 2. Quick service from the waiter who took our drinks order and shortly after came back and asked what we would like to eat. I ordered olives and my partner ordered the prawn cocktail for starters and both lamb shank for mains. So disappointed, as the almost £6 olives were clearly from a cheap jar as they were small and tasteless, no dressing. There was no chance of buttering the focaccia this side of Christmas, the chunks of butter were so hard. I complained straight away and I presume it was the landlady who came to ask about the problem. Sorry to say, as polite as I was in my genuine comments, I felt I was met with a Fawlty-Towers- Basil like response! No real concern, just an offer to warm up the butter! Prawn cocktail at over £8 was, according to my partner ‘ok’ but the sauce was a bit watery and prawns were very small. The saving grace was the lamb shank main which was delicious. Quality touches were missing, such as the cheap mint sauce we were given and we noticed sachets of the cheapest sauces for fish and chips a nearby table. Sad to say as much as we were looking forward to our visit, it fell well below our expectations and we won’t be back. To summarise, average pub food at restaurant prices.

So often you have friends that Rave about a particular this or that. Only for you to be let down or disappointed. WELL. The lamb and Flag came highly recommended by friends and new neighbours when we moved into the are almost a year ago. And let me say… we LOVE THE PLACE. The establishment itself is charming. Classic British elegant pub. Lots of hunting and fishing trophy’s etc. A warm fire awaits you in the winter. But The HOSPITALITY. By ALL STAFF is what sets this place apart The staff are Smashing. The owner is in residence numerous years and runs the place as a haven of warmth. Laughter. GREAT FOOD. Is served by delightful staff. Susie and Nana’s favourite KAT. Are just the most welcoming people. No matter what the weather. The welcome at the Lamb and Flag is inviting. We have become regulars. Sharing our special family occasions to casual drop in evenings. In a time where pubs are regularly closing. This place is here to stay. They have perfected gourmet pub food/ delicious specials. A fun pub garden. But it’s the people. The chefs. Front of house. We Thank you for making us feel like family. My Mum known as Nana. Is more often than not greeted at the door as I go park. She is 90 and escorted in and out to wherever we’re seated. With banter and warmth. Kat see’s our names in the reservation diary and actually looks out for Nana. Seriously. That is Priceless.

Another lovely lunchtime meet-up with friends, about half- way between where we live in Norfolk and Notts. A cosy, traditional pub-restaurant serving local ales and generous portions of homemade food, great flavours, un-pretentious but imaginitive cooking. Always a warm welcome for us and our dogs. A relaxing garden and close to the Washes and WWT bird watching centre. Service is relaxed, welcoming, and attentive. Booking recommended.... it can be busy!

This was our first visit to The Lamb and Flag and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the service was excellent. Although the menu is not massive there were some extras on the specials board. There were only a few vegetarian options however I chose the beetroot wellington and it was delicious. The pub itself is cosy and comfortable and had an open fire which was much appreciated on a cold February night. Overall we were more than satisfied with our meal, service and surroundings.

Went here with my Mother on a Sat eve. First time out for months with C19 lockdown. All had starters, portions are pretty big. Starters which came pretty quickly were whitebait wife & me, Mum had breaded brie. Mains we had steak & ale pie, Mum had Gammon steak & I had pork & chorizo burger this served skinny, no bun & a salad rather than chips. All were very tasty. The pie was fantastic & although not part of my diet was very tempting. We all had Puds which were nice as well. In all a nice meal, sensible bill, friendly staff & nice location what more can you want!

All the staff were so friendly and welcoming at the Lamb & Flag that you felt at ease as soon as you entered the place. They were following all the necessary C-19 guidance they are obliged to at present, so it felt comfortable enough in that respect to, whilst still having enough rustic charm. They served a great selection of food/drinks and everything we had to eat was really delicious, although bring a large appetite as the portions are large, they certainly don’t leave you going home hungry.

Dropped in for a drink and found ourselves having a meal as well. We have been visiting The Lamb and Flag on & off since the mid 1980's, whey before TripAdvisor was even considered. The atmosphere and ambience is great, the decor purely local and attributed to the Fens, you wouldn't expect anything else! There are two dinning rooms, with plenty of choice on the menu. Tonight I had the Gammon, washed down with a pint of Elgoods ale, absolutely excellent. The staff are terrific, friendly, warm and welcoming. Harry B is very happy to recommend The Lamb and Flag in Welney, although I took a chance for a table, be sure to book to avoid disappointment. Enjoy!

The food is delicious the servings are huge the staff are so nice the land lord has a great sense of humor and the pub has a true ambiance that takes you back to when a pub was ac pub. My mother uses a Walker and she was able to get into the pub with her large Walker without assistance. The pub is beautiful on the inside and out.

We must have eaten at the Lamb and Flag four dozen times in the four years we've been back in the area and, frankly, have never been disappointed. We ate there twice this last week, with Saturday evening's meal being easily the best of two very good ones. It's time for us to move on so we will no longer be regular guests two or three times a week in the Bar, so we say goodbye with some sadness. On Thursday we took some friends for lunch - really good - but on Saturday the star chef (Kyle) turned out two superb fish meals, with the top team on the bar. A memorable evening. We wish all the best to Dennis, Gina, Kyle, Ryan and the team at this very good pub restaurant.

Asked for 1 to be rare which came out medium, other asked for Med to rare which came out as med to well done. When trying to get served to ask for the bill, stood at the bar for 5-10 minutes but the staff liked to serve the locals first even when they just walked through the door.

We visited here with another couple one Saturday evening on the recommendation of numerous friends. We booked a table for 6pm amd were seated on the dot. We found the food was nice, service was good and drinks reasonably priced. The open fires were a nice touch. All in all we had a good evening and will visit again.

This was our second visit; our first was for lunch, this time dinner. We arrived a few minutes late due to the weather but we got a warm welcome from the staff behind the bar. We sorted our wine order and it was brought to our table with menus by one of the bar staff. My wife chose a prawn cocktail starter and I the fenland chicken with a dip. Our main course, we each chose off the specials board, was the beef suet pudding and the desserts being the syrup pudding and the crumble.

We got totally lost (my fault) but we were so glad we eventually found The Lamb and Flag. My son had booked lunch for us and we were shown to our table by the welcome open fire with a friendly greeting.

Had a lovely family meal here. The food was good , however ,more choice for vegetarians would have been appreciated . Friendly atmosphere and service. It would have been a 5 star review , however we did have to tolerate a cold draft from the door in the restaurant .

Have been here many times for Sunday lunch and evening meals. Sorry to say but won’t go back. Had late lunch this Sunday. Place was very busy. Plates were extremely hot as if meat, potatoes and Yorkshire pud being kept in oven for some time. I don’t know if this contributed to the tough meat (beef) and not too good roasties. Veg was ok but broccoli mushy. I took most of beef home for my dogs. Husband did say his was ok. Not once were we asked if food was ok or if we wanted another drink. Left before being offered dessert. Usually we spend a longer time over meal and drinks but couldn’t wait to leave and get home.

What can I say apart from I am so very disappointed by the food served on this visit. My partner and I had to book a table much later than we usually like to eat as they were busy Pre Christmas, but when we arrived they were nearly empty. The service at the bar was very good as usual.

Wonderful friendly staff, great menu, gorgeous food! Will definitely be returning again and again! Plus it is dog friendly which is perfect for us. This has probably now become our local pub.

First time in the area so didn't know what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised by the cosy ambience, varied menu and friendly service. The Fenmans steak pie which my friend chose was delicious, full of tender meat, and very substantial, and even the "lighter" lunch -baked Camenbert- which I opted for, proved to be a hearty portion. Good food, well presented, and even a cosy log fire to brighten up a dull November day.

Went there on a recommedation and was not disappointed. The food and service were very good. Good old pub food in a nice friendly atmosphere. I love fish and chips and although a simple dish really shows the craft of the chef.

Went to the Lamb and Flag for lunch today after a 3 to 4 month absence. It was fantastic. Paul the man incharge behind the bar was welcoming as usual with the right amount of banter, the atmosphere severely suffers when he leaves for his afternoon break. Food grear, good portions and very tasty. Glad we returned

very good meal steak cooked just right. All other meals where very well received, scampi and chips were a large portion, chicken also a large portion but very tasty. The burgers were huge, but everything was well presented and very tasty.

We first tried the Lamb & Flag for lunch, both the service and food, meat pie and lasagna followed by deserts cheesecake and caramel apple pie was so good we decided to return a week later for dinner. Once again the greeting was very welcoming, we chose our wine which was taken to our table and menus given and we were left to peruse in comfort. We chose starters from the menu and mains from the specials board, so much choice it was so hard to decide. The starters prawns & chicken were lovely and so was the main courses suet mince puddings, well cooked and good portion sizes. We couldn't leave without again sampling their deserts, crumble and sponge, with very good quality ice cream. This is a country pub with a warm welcome. a very good chef and delightful staff. We will certainly be back very soon.

Excellent lunch as part of Norfolk Restaurant week. Had 3 courses, delicious chicken breast with parsnip purée, fondant potato, cavolo Nero and mushroom sauce. My husband had bream with a Chinese twist. We both had the steamed Guinness sponge pudding with whiskey caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. Staff are lovely and very attentive despite a busy restaurant. Have been meaning to visit for ages and it was worth the trip! We will be back.

One price on menu, higher one when paid. Left without having the food so can't say if it was good. Typical "chain" overcharging really disappointing. Beer is expensive too. Shame really....Not likely to go again!!!!

Excellent meal, service & atmosphere. We had the fish platter for 2, excellent choice, plenty of it , good selection of scampi, smoked salmon, fresh mackerel pate, breaded prawns, whitebait, with salad and rye bread. Followed up with Cherry Bread & Butter pudding with ice cream, and sorbet - both delicious. Open kitchen shows their confidence in the quality served. Will definitely visit again when in the area.
