The Lamb at Longdown in Teignbridge

Fantastic food and friendly service! Food presentation and the quality was just perfect. Actually it is better than a couple of Michelin star restaurants we have been to. So, do not miss the opportunity if you are around Exeter.

We just stopped here for a quick coffee break today whikst passing through and we received a very friendly welcome. The hot chocolate here us extremely delicious.

Very good Sunday lunch , beef done to perfection, veg and potatoes equally as good, would recommend booking

Amazing food, portion size just right Able to flex requirements for our 6yo. Missed out on sampling the beer as i was driving... Great staff. Wish they were near me... would be my local hands down! Thank you team

Excellent food, excellent cider and excellent service, would highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed!

Utterly delicious meal. Everything we ordered was original, beautifully seasoned and lovely to look at. Can’t wait to go back.

Impeccable. Despite being a quiet night for them the service from Lewis was brilliant. From the menu and the website the food looked great. But it completely exceeded even those expectations. With fresh, local ingredients, great presentation and fantastic tastes, there was absolutely nothing to fault. We will absolutely be back. And very dog friendly.

Lovely roast, and great lads working - all very nice! Has been on the list for a while.

Amazing service while I was there Welcoming staff, tasty food worth driving there. IF YOU PASS THIS RESTAURANT AMD DONT EAT AT IT YOU ARE MISSING OUT.

Had the best time and meal (and dessert!) here last night. I wanted to book something lovely for my husbands birthday and having never been here before, I relied on the great reviews for this place. So glad I did! Amazing staff, amazing atmosphere and food to die for! We will definitely be back and recommending to everyone!

Amazing food, great service. Highly recommend this exceptional place.

We stayed in the area for Christmas and booked the Lamb Inn for dinner on Christmas eve. The food was good and tasty. Prices above average. The staff were friendly. There wasn't much of a Christmas atmosphere which was disappointing. None of the staff were wearing masks and came quite close which we found uncomfortable due to the current pandemic. They added a tip of 10.00 to your bill before asking if you want to leave one. We dont mind giving a tip, however it would be good if they asked you first.

3rd time here for food. Absolutely stunning. Difficult to choose from the menu. Excellent roast. Staff friendly and professional.

Fantastic food and service. Went with family, all enjoyed what we had and the experience we received. We definitely be going back.

Had a fabulous lunch there. Will definitely go back again

A fussy foodie family giving this pub restaurant a massive thumbs up! Fine dining is too formal for us these days with young children in tow, so we're always on the look out for good pub grub and restaurants that have a combination of good food and a relaxed atmosphere. The Lamb came recommended via the Old Inn in Drewsteignton. On appearances, it doesn't look like much but it's what's inside that counts! The menu is attractive and imaginative without being in the slightest bit pretentious. And most importantly - the food is delicious. All a big cut above your average stogey British fare. Fresh, very well cooked, there is obviously some talent in the kitchen here! Big thumbs up. Service was tip top too.

This is good quality restaurant food with some pub classics thrown in for the less adventurous. Great service from the young staff who did an excellent job!

We drove a long way based on reviews and were terribly disappointed. Impolite staff and changed menu without warning.

Lovely food and staff. very quiet, relaxed atmosphere. There isnt a huge amount of parking but that wasn't a problem when we visited.

Excellent and inventive food. The burger was especially tasty! Cod loin and scallop dish was well cooked but could have benefitted from the recommendation of a side dish for a more substantial main course. Desserts were delicious and innovative- clearly some skill here. Good service and reasonably priced. Would return if in the area again!

Fantastic food and great staff, plenty of free parking and amazing views from the beer garden, would highly recommend 👍👍

Great food and attentive service. We enjoyed the duck and the pork belly . The scallops were caramelised perfectly and soft in the middle

Gorgeous evening meal and great service in a quiet village pub. Belky pork and black pudding with dauphinois on one plate, monkfish, scallop and keralan curry on the other. Empty plates, that's how good it was. Did look amazing when it came out though. Highly recommended

The Lamb pub is an old building but has been modernised inside - tastefully decorated. Could be described as a 'Gastro Pub' and the food was really really delicious and all freshly cooked and beautifully served. Very friendly staff. Certainly 5 Stars from us!

Had a lovely meal with my family for my mums birthday. Both the food and service were great, very friendly staff. The creme brulee was especially good. Highly recommended!

Roast was fantastic but sauces slow to come.

The place was nice, the staff were nice, the food was hugely disappointing. We had great reviews but it didn’t live up to expectations and after eating out almost every day, this was our worst meal in two weeks in the area. We ordered two roast beef dinners, a fish and chips and a burger. The roast dinners were ok - nothing special but the beef was 50% fat which had to be cut away. The burger was largely inedible because the fat juices and sauce soaked the bread making it soggy and it was all too rich. The fish was too greasy and mainly soggy batter and (I don’t know how they managed this, but…) the mushy peas were inedible. The fries with the burger and the wedges with the fish were nice enough though, and I had a lovely glass of Shiraz. Overall ‘ok’ is a generous review and it wasn’t worth the money paid.

A gorgeous lunch at a hidden gem of a pub. Short drive from Exeter, close to the M5, it has a strong emphasis on local quality ingredients.

Great pub, super food but limited menu at minute due to Covid. Plenty of choice though! Eating there again on Sunday as roast comes highly recommended.

What a lovely meal! We were just passing by and decided to pop in for a beer and some nibbles, but ended up having the 4 course tasting menu (as you do!) It was a really lovely experience! The food was special, very tasty and beautifully presented. The service was professional. Everything was very Covid-safe and they had clearly thought carefully about that. My only criticism was that the ambience could have been enhanced, everything was immaculate and clean but it just looked a little bland. The room would have benefited from some atmosphere. A roaring fire and some eclectic decorations would be a nice compliment to the good food. Tables had scratches in the gloss, and gloss tables ar old fashioned. These aren't real criticisms, just a matter of opinion....it's the food that counts though and I couldn't fault it!

Fantastic. The food was sublime, Lovely wine and beer. The decor was well done and we had a Kat Lightfoor art exhibition too! Service was timely and low key and professional.

My partner and I have been here twice while away on holiday in Devon. The food is amazing! The staff are lovely and very accommodating. The service you get is fantastic, just a lovely restaurant with high quality food. Will be going there again soon!

We went to the Lamb with our family, the food was very good with something to suit all ages

Delicious Sunday lunch. A wonderful birthday treat. Would recommend the creme brulee!! Very tasty.

We collected a lovely roast from here yesterday, easily the best roast in and around Exeter!

Looking forward to the end of lockdown so we can book ourselves in again. Two great chefs run The Lamb at Longdown and people come from miles away to dine here.

Lovely food and excellent service

Fabulous evening. Superb food although menu was interesting! Listed ingredients rather than how cooked. My duck was sensational. Gammon was also fabulous. Chips of both types were fab. Creme brulee had run our sadly! Sticky toffee pud was fine. Malteser was excellent. Great beers especially home brew. Staff were also lovely. Definitely worth a visit.

We live locally and We’ve been looking forward to going here for so long but Were a bit disappointed. Although the food tasted good the portion size was pretty stingy. We had the Sunday roast, We noticed the veg that should have been shared between 2 people was shared between 3. When we complained that there wasn’t enough the waiter apologised and bought out a little more which we were later charged for!! My sister in law paid the same as us ( we had meat) and she got half a tiny aubergine. We all went home and had toast.Such a shame as a bit more veg and better service would have given this a much better review.

The food tasted really good, but the portion sizes were small. You shouldn't leave a pub after a sunday roast and still be hungry. We complained about the amount of veg, they gave us another very small portion, then charged us.

Delicious. They're taking COVID seriously unlike a lot of restaurants.

Lovely food. Proper Covid-19 management and good atmosphere. My only "complaint" is that I prefer to cut up my own Sirloin, rather than have the chef deliver my steak to me in precut slices.

A meal to celebrate my belated birthday! Food absolutely delicious and to a very high standard, compliments to the chef! Professional service by friendly staff. Good to see social distancing pratice in place and working well for all. Thank you!

Went for food last night, every course was exquisite and we left very full! The complimentary bread was amazing, staff were friendly and helpful and overall what a fantastic evening for my family!

We had roast beef and roast pork....both were excellent. All served with great veg and all the trimmings. Fresh and cooked to perfection with great service. Very highly recommend. We must support these local pubs and restaurants and will be going back. Bravo to all involved.

Lovely pub, full of character and very friendly.

Really good food and atmosphere. The place was quite busy for midweek even though it's out in the country.

Second time at this lovely pub, great food and friendly staff. We will be back

Excellent food, amazing service and best of all great beer!

We were the only customers. Saying that the meal was very good. Have a very good chef . Will visit again. They deserve to succeed.

Delicious food, very pleasant surroundings

The best sunday lunch I have eaten, even better than mum's but don't tell her.

Good friendly staff, in a quiet location

Great little place just off the A30! Amazing food and atmosphere

Turned up and the place was empty. The waitress told us there was plenty of spare tables but the manager told us they only cook to order. How can a restaurant not accommodate walk ins, even when just for 3 people. To tip it off, the manager was also rude in letting us know. Will certainly never entertain going here again and will certainly not be recommending it to anyone!

Highly recommended little pub. It's had a stylish makeover and is well worth a visit. Friendly staff and extremely good food cooked to a standard higher than the average pub.

Excellent food and service for a special anniversary meal. Pre-event organisation was also excellent. Highly recommended. Spread the word.

Nice village pub. Had the Sunday Roast. Presentation was good. The cauliflower cheese and roasties were lovely. But the roast beef tasted raw, no flavour. It is served pink, which is how I like it. But it tasted a bit off. The desserts were lovely.

The food here is outstanding and I hugely look forward to eating here every time I visit. This week, for the first time, I attended one of their guest chef evenings with the talented Luke Fearon. I can not recommend it more highly - the food was creative, delicious and up with the best I have ever eaten. Even better, as is always the case with The Lamb, many of the ingredients were sourced locally. Well done and thank you Dolton, Luke and the whole team at The Lamb

We have been are times now and each time we were served by friendly staff. The menu is regularly changed and the quality of food is outstanding.

I visited The Lamb with some friends on Saturday 15-06-2019. There were 12 or 13 of us in a minibus touring several pub's in the area. As we were going to be visiting 11 pub's, half pint's we're the order of the day with some having tea, coffee or other soft drinks instead of beer. The beer at The Lamb was £4.00 per pint, which was a little high for the area, but not too bad. THEN CAME THE SHOCK! As I've said we were drinking halves. The Lamb wanted to rip us off by charging an EXTORTIONATE rate of £2.50 per half, that's a 25% increase to £5.00 per pint. We quickly got back on the bus & left, heading to our next venue. While we accept that some pub's charge 5 or 10 pence more per glass when serving halves, 50 pence was too much. No other pub that day charged any extra for drinking halves so remember , if you're thinking if going out with some friends for a meal or maybe a family celebration where you could be spending lot's, you could get more for your money by going elsewhere!

Booked at the Lamb on Sunday and I can say this is one of the best pubs in Devon. The roast beef was out of this world, accompanied with the most amazing yorkshire pudding and four substantial side plates with a variety of vegetables cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing making dining a very pleasant experience. We will be coming back very soon!

Staff extremely polite and welcoming.

Very smart pub with great food. Friendly staff and patrons.

Great food and a lovely, friendly service. Welcomed bikers

Fantastic local food, great service, very knowledgeable and friendly front of house. We would definitely go back!

Excellent food, fab restaurant, lovely bar area

Fantastic local pub. Delicious food (much of it sourced locally) Service is super friendly too. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Fabulous food, exquisite dining experience.

Good food but very small menu and limited size good decoration Good parking

It was closed but the seat's outside were handy..

Nice food & drink, a little on the pricey side. Staff can be a little cold at times but otherwise nice place to be

Excellent layed back atmosphere with amazing food

Had a fantastic time at the lamb inn just over a week ago. Family Sunday lunch out. Food was fantastic and I just want to try more and more. All cooked to a very high standard. Very reasonable on service time, when you consider what is being cooked. All staff are friendly and attentive, can't wait for my next trip to the lamb inn. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing food. Had a really lovely evening.

Hadn't tried The Lamb before so booked for lunch. The food was excellent being beautifully cooked and thoughtfully presented. Ingredients are locally sourced even down to the delicious coffee. Will definitely be returning.

visited a couple times now & couldn’t complain! staff are very helpful and polite, food was beautiful, & the atmosphere & decor is lovely. will definitely be back.

I have visited twice in the last 3 months, the first time an evening meal of 3 courses, and the 2nd visit for Sunday lunch. Both times the food has been nice, but not exceptional, the starters better than the main courses which were a bit over priced for what is delivered in quality & quantity. Both times service was slow, but polite. The dinning area is nicely decorated as is the bar, but is lacking in atmosphere. This Sunday my wife & I visited for Sunday lunch, a table was booked and we were seated on time by a polite young member of staff. Unfortunately our order of just the main Sunday roast took over an hour to arrive after we were seated. At no point did anyone reassure us it was on its way, or ask if we required a drink, basically we were ignored for an hour. The restaurant was about half full. I complained and the dinner arrived with no apology, small portions and overcooked hard roast potatoes. To wait an hour for what was essentially an expensive carvery dinner is unacceptable, and we will not be returning. A shame as we travelled 15 miles both times as the Lamb has potential, but is missing the mark on service & quality.

We met some friends there this week and thought it would be just a regular pub .Quite a surprise when we went through the front door Interior decor is modern and refreshing and food amazing .The staff are young keen and very attentive .We will definitely meet there again

Great food good service friendly atmosphere would recommend to anybody

Excellent service and the food was lovely would recommend x

Delicious menu we are coming back on Sat 😍!

so surprised it had been under new management very very pricey very small amount we had to eat again when we got home not happy at all nothing special

Congratulations to the new management, they have nailed it! Tried their fixed menu, very competitively priced - all courses delicious . Will definitely be a regular customer and have recommended to work colleagues. Good luck to them.

Nice but they serve only till 10pm

Good choice of ales, stylishly decorated friendly staff. Rural location good choice on menus.

Just enjoyed a very nice meal at the lamb, nice atmosphere with very friendly staff. The food was lovely, had the carvery which was ideal and filling. The squid was one of the best I've had and the sticky toffee pudding finished it off nicely. Would highly recommend a visit.

Food excellent,staff helpful and polite and the decor makes it a pleasant place to eat. Lovely views,parking is secure all in all a great way to enjoy are Sunday’s.

Popped in for a drink and to check out the new decor. They've done a great job of modernising the place. Friendly staff

Tonight we ventured into the newly refurbished Lamb Inn for dinner and what a change! Firstly the interior has had a total makover. Modern and stylish but fun and welcoming with leather seating areas, woodburner and cozy corners that leads into into a smart but relaxing dining area. Long upholstered benches and local artist paintings certainly give a clue that the food might be something special. I ordered hake with scallops followed by fruit and nut chocolate. I have no interest in going out to eat food I can prepare at home but as this dish was put down in front of me I knew there was no way I would ever be able to replicate it. Wonderful presentation, amazing sauce and all the ingredients cooked to perfection. This is what eating out is about. Every mouthful was memorable for all the right reasons. This pub has been turned on its head and the ‘we want lasagne’ brigade may grumble but it is very clear how much time, thought and effort has been poured into this place and the talent that is now here is self evident. We can’t wait to return.

Have been to the Lamb inn under new management & very disappointed. The menu was very poor with a very limited selection on a one page menu .Absolutely no ambiance. Have been here many times with friends just happy we were on our own tonight. The food we had was well cooked .The starter & sweet menu very limited just three choices. Will not be returning or recommending to our many friends

What a lovely, welcoming place to go and eat. Service is as quick as you need it to be.Food is tasty, fresh, well prepared and delicious. We keep going back. Well done Lamb Inn.

Great food & really friendly atmosphere

Freshly cooked food, many Gluten free options, brilliant atmosphere, very clean, very friendly . Really enjoyed it

Third time we have been to the lamb inn for a meal. My wife and myself have had excellent meals every time and the sevice is very good and very friendly also a nice pint nice atmosphere. Mr and Mrs sedgemore exeter.

Great no nonsense good with smaller portion options and gluten free

We stopped in for supper and found the whole experience to be excellent, the staff were more than helpful and very accommodating. Food was excellent and they are dog friendly. We would highly recommend to anyone.

A lot of sheep décor with some really good food to match.

Really nice food here. They had a small appetite option too which was still generous. Plenty of drink options and the place is very clean. The prices for the food and drink are very reasonable.

Great pub and very popular, I have not eaten there but have received good reports. Called in for a beer and the food smelt great, will try it one day.
