The Lamb Inn in West Berkshire

Food was excellent and lovely service. Would return :) we enjoyed the roast dinner

The pint of Fullers London Pride was excellent and consumed in the sun.

For some reason rubbish from this pub keeps getting thrown into my carpark

Perfect little pub went for a charity gig was amazing

Good pint of London Pride, very busy when I visited, probably more of a locals pub but glad I popped in.

3 mates were away for the weekend & called in there. The Ale was OK but we were the only ones there quite

Land lady's a treasure please go

It is what it is a pub that hasn't been messed with ideal for a quite relaxing pint.

A community hub. Good pool table

Good Sunday lunch, inside and outside dining.

The Lamb is a typical 'Local', a little way out of the centre of Town, but in easy walking distance. The spacious interior is still divided into different but undifferentiated bars, supplied from a central counter. There is no car park, although cars park on the forecourt at night, and if you are lucky, you can find parking on the adjoining roads. I go there about once a month, after a local meeting. The real ale choice is uninspired, usually consisting of two or three well known session beers, such as Fuller's London Pride, and Sharp's (Coors) Doom Bar. They are usually in good, if not prime, condition. The prices are typical of local pubs.

I had not been in this pub for at least 25 years. It was late afternoon and the landlady was outside, and offered to serve a pint. The pint of Fullers London Pride was excellent and consumed in the sun.

Great local pub that serves London Pride ale

Landlady was incredibly rude. The service was slow, was stood at the bar a while before being served. Pub could do with some updating. Wouldn’t go back.

A cock up I have not been there ?

Make sure you hold on to your drink lads or drink it slow as they will take your glasses away and then threaten to kick you out for not having a drink

So I am driving so only ordered pepsi had 2 drinks and my glasses were taken away and then got told I had to order another drink or get kicked out for not drinking not really good customer service... But quite spacious and got free hot dogs so give it a 3 star :)

Friendly local with a great vibe

Average pub .has lots of locals and regulars.

Encantador anfitrión, muy acogedor y el servicio rápido. . Lo recomendaría para una reunión de negocios de correos, tranquila. huggle

Great local pub. Good selection of ales

Nice, spacious pub with a good atmosphere

What a dive of a pub wile waiting at the bar with my wife the bar man was to busy on his phone some other bloke started to bang his glass on bar with that the bar man came rushing through and stated having a go at me telling me if I did it again he would Chuck me out when the person that did it pointed out it was in fact him he still refuses to apologize to me for the way he spoke to me IL never go there again rude people a complete dive of a pub and would not recommend it to anyone

Basic old fashioned pub with a great welcome great ales and good choice of beers, Bt sports shown and pool and darts available. Very important to me and my other half the toilets were spotless. If you want a pub and a bit of banter this is the place for you. Couldn't disagree more with 007 minted comments. Try it for yourself and make your own mind up, i guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Queridos bebidas, servicio horrible, no es un pub de la familia solía ser un gran lugar para ir, pero ha caído en picado mucho, tuve una bebida y la izquierda no regresaría a menos que oiga es cambiado de manos

Muy grande y agradable local unos 800 metros de la calle principal, pero merece la pena una visita. precios razonables.

La comida aquí, tienen un auténtico chef! Todo está preparado desde cero, no hay cenas o budines calentados aquí!! primera clase y también ofrecen carnes asadas, vale la pena una visita. hemos comido aquí muchas no tenía una mala comida todavía.

As part of a carnival touring band we travelled from Luton to Newbury on 5/07/14 to take part in their carnival on arrival there were a couple of our younger members needed to use the toilet we approached The Lamb public house to use their facilities to be informed by the Landlady " This is a public house not a public toilet and I dont want your lot stinking up my toilets" Well landlady Anne Ayliffe of The Lamb Public House, Newbury the only thing that stinks in your establishment is you may I suggest that you drink a pint of Domestos Bleach to cleanse yourself as I believe that particular brand kills all known germs dead!Unfortunately we were unable to sample their food or drinks because of the above incident.

Reviewed this place last year and wasn't impressed so thought I'd give it another go. De ja vu! A small group sitting in the sun outside the door shouting and swearing loudly, very intimidating. If this goes on all the time I feel sorry for the surrounding houses as it's in the middle of a residential area. I shall not try again.

We went across the other side of town to check this pub out, as it's highly rated on TripAdvisor, and we're always interested in new local hotspots. I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about though. I notice most reviews are for their Sunday roast, whereas we went along in the afternoon for a drink. The place may as well have been closed, there were maybe 3 others in there watching sport on TV with a huge dog roaming around. One of the regulars had to shout for the bartender to come out from the back and serve us. Granted, the drinks were good, but we sat on our own in a corner of the pub, drank quickly and left (the outside courtyard is made up of 2 or 3 small tables and chairs down a side alley, basically a smoking area). There is really no atmosphere here at all, and it could use a refurb.

Went with business friends food is ok but place is lack of atmosphere.its been a bit away from the high street aswell so need to improve more attention from service.

Excellent traditional British fare with nice updates. Sensible portions. Excellent bar. We'd go back in a heartbeat.

Many places locally offer "Homemade Pies" but here they really are, chicken and chorizo, steak and stilton to name a couple, they are above and beyond. Will be going back to try another one, The specials are also good giving a great choice. Tried to book this Friday but they were fully booked so must be doing something right. Will book net time for sure

Went with friends for a pre booked xmas meal. Great size portons And great value for money. Would recommend the meal to anyone. Chef is amazing with amazing food. Will be going back again :)

We called in here last sunday lunchtime for a roast. We had not booked (recommended that you do). However as there were only two of us, they were able to accomodate us between some very large parties of diners. Firstly I would like to dispute the previous comment that this is a "locals" only pub. I am a local living about 10 doors up the road and I did not see anyone I recognised from the local area. I can only assume this comment was made as there were a few people in the main bar playing crib and cards. I was not made to feel an outsider. We both ordered roast turkey and it was absolutely delicious. As others have mentioned, it was no frills, good wholesome food. It felt home cooked. The portions were adequate, with roast turkey, stuffing, yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, carrots and brussels. There was then a side dish of cauliflower cheese and extra gravy. Despite being very full ...... we decided to try the puddings. My partner had a pavlova thing, which was very nice and I had a banana fritter. It was one of those puddings which is very very sweet, but you have to keep eating it as it was delicious. It came with a vanilla custard and a scoop of toffee and honeycomb ice cream. I was in heaven. Both meals came in at under £10 per head (I think they do a deal two courses for £9.99). The host and waitress were very accomodating and friendly and were keen to ensure we had everything we needed. Thank you and we will be back!

Cannot rate this pub highly enough, went today for Sunday lunch, the food was brilliant, all home cooked good pub food, and so nice to have such a good selection of fresh vegetables. I had lamb and potato pie and it was the best pie I have ever tasted. The landlady was extremely welcoming and really went out of her way to make sure we had all we need, and was very accommodating with my young son. Overall the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and food excellent and incredibly good value, can't wait to go back, a real gem!

A pleasant welcoming dog friendly pub with attentive staff that offered appetising home cooked food.

This was our first time at The Lamb Inn. The food was to an excellent standard, generous portions for a good price. Friendly staff and Ann is an excellent host. Would highly recommend and will be going back soon.

The Lamb serves a no frills, well cooked, well priced meal in the style that you would expect when going round to mothers for a Sunday Lunch. The chef and staff are personable and willing to help out with any reasonable request. Both the stomach and the wallet will not be disappointed.

Absolutely fantastic food! Highest compliments to the chef!! Friendly service and a good atmosphere. An all round great pub!! Will definitely be returning and thoroughly recommend! ;)

Absolutely Fab place to eat great food and really friendly and attentive staff, also extremely child friendly.all home made good traditional food, great portions and really good prices! And not forgetting the outstanding service, they really make you feel welcome! I shall be returning very soon.

We live only a short distance from the Lamb Inn and have always assumed it to be a real drinker's pub rather than a restaurant. A few weeks ago they posted a flyer through our door advertising that they had started doing Sunday lunches, so we thought we would give them a try. It took a few weeks because the bill-boards outside the pub gave the impression the only did sandwiches and snacks. Today, there was a sign advertising Sunday Lunch at around £8.00 for one course - so we called in. The dining room was almost full but there were two small tables still free. Unfortunately, a table of six people had arrived just before us - hence we had rather a long wait for our meal to arrive. The landlady apologised for the delay and explained that they were short staffed.We both ordered roast pork, but there was only one portion left, so my wife decided on fish and chips instead. When the meal arrived, we both agreed it was worth the wait. The pork came with roast spuds (nicely cooked and crispy), Yorkshire pud, cabbage, mashed swede with carrots, home grown runner beans and a separate dish of cauliflower cheese. It also came with an extra helping of gravy in a gravy boat - which is something that all restaurants should do with roast dinners! The meal was really tasty and and to be honest - as good as any I've ever tasted - and I've tasted a fair few pub roasts in my time. From my point of view the only improvement would be to cook the runner beans a little longer as they aren't ideal al-dente. I accept others may like them slightly underdone.The fish and chips were perfectly okay. Again, a largish portion. It came with a choice of peas or mushy peas. The chips were well cooked.As so often happens, the large portions didn't leave room for desserts, which was a shame because we saw the people at the next table enjoying home made sticky toffee pudding, fruit crumble with a jug of custard and what looked like Eton mess. The landlady confirmed that the puddings were homemade - which for me is an essential requirement. I can't understand why any restaurant would buy in catering packs of frozen desserts. The bill came to around £21 including a nice pint of Doombar bitter from Rock in Cornwall and a Coca-Cola. They also had two other bitters on hand-pump, including London Pride - one of my favourites. Pity I was driving. We could have walked, but it was raining!So, overall impressions. It still has the look of a town centre drinker's pub - that's not a criticism, just an observation. The food was top notch and definitely worth a second visit. I hope they can keep up that standard. The price was definitely too low, but I guess they know their own market. Good luck to them, I hope it takes off - Westfields needs and deserves a good local restaurant.

I had heard good things about this place so gave it a try with some friends, I had Bruschetta to start, the others had a mix of Pate and deep fried brie, all delicious. For main course we had; chicken burger, chilli burger, lasagne and chicken/chorizo pie, great portions and all really tasty. dessert was also good, not a big selection but one had sticky toffee and another Eton mess. Overall a really good selection on the menu, it is all home made good traditional food, great portions and really good prices! And not forgetting the outstanding service, they really make you feel welcome! I shall be returning very soon.

We visited on Tuesday for a drink with friends after a recommendation. What a great English pub, lovely landlady too. We decided to eat after watching all of food come out of the kitchen. I had the homemade Chirizo Burger, just lush, our friends said Sunday Lunch is superb, so no cooking for me this Sunday. Highly recommended.

Read great reviews about the food, so thought I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, was put off by a large group sitting outside the entrance shouting and swearing and being very intimidating. Didn't feel safe so went somewhere else. Since heard similar stories from other people, a real shame as it all looks so welcoming.

The food was outstanding as always and great service. We have eaten at the lamb on previous occasions the food is always of the highest quality. I would recommend the lamb without hesitation. Great food, Great service, Great value for money.

We live locally and were really pleased when the Lamb started doing food - there have been a few attempts by previous owners, which never really took off, but this time they have got it completely right. All of the food is cooked from scratch from fresh ingredients and they serve traditional pub dishes as well as less conventional choices and daily specials - there is definitely something to suit all tastes.They are more than willing to combine items from different dishes on the menu or up-size starters to the size of a main dish. The food, as others have mentioned, is very reasonably priced and the portions are a good size. We have had several meals there and have thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience on each occasion. We have held a couple of birthday parties at the Lamb in the past and it is the perfect venue, and I am looking for an excuse to have another one now that the present chef has arrived!A final word - the sticky toffee pudding is legendary!

I have eaten at the Lamb on at least five occasions and have never been disappointed. Not only are the meals fantastic the bar snacks are also great. Everything is superb value and cooked brilliantly. I'd recommend the burger with chorizo - awesome! Take the time to visit, you won't be disappointed.

I've lost count how many times we've eaten here but the menu is extensive enough that you don't need to duplicate meals. Tonight I had deep fried Brie for starters which was spot on. Followed up with a special of pan fried chicken on mash with a mushroom sauce. Oh my god it was gorgeous. If anything, there was possibly too much good on my plate.We will be going back as we are always being made to feel welcome and they accommodate our one year old without question.

The Lamb is a great community pub that has only recently started doing food. The menu contains some favourite fare but also some with a twist. There are usually specials on offer too.What makes the food special is that it is freshly cooked and tastes great as a result. All the dishes are good,though a favourite is the beefburger that has chorizo mixed in, served with plenty of relishes, home made slaw and a good helping of chips. I must have eaten thousands of burgers in my time, this one stands out as being one of the best.Lots of tasty puddings too, standards like eton mess and apple crumble. Again freshly made and it shows as the emphasis is on taste rather than stodge so they nicely finish of a meal rather than leaving you feeling stuffed.Service is quick and friendly, cost very reasonable. Main and pudding for 2 of us>£22 ex drinks. Re drinks, as a beer drinker having a choice of real ales at a casque marked pub is nice too.All in all great place to eat well cooked,good value meal in a friendly atmosphere. We have spent a lot of time in France and what this reminds of is the best type of restaurant there, not those with 3 michelin stars, but the small family run ones you find in little towns where everyone goes to eat, drink and relax.

Food was over cooked. Very small portions eg 2 tiny slices of garlic bread for a starter. Landlady waa always coming over to talk to us which was so annoying as trying to have couples time. Pub is a locals only pub and it seems they don't like strangers. Can get much better food for same price in Newbury elsewhere

So glad to have food at my local at long last! I have to say the chorizo burger is the best I have ever had! Starters range from £4 and Mains £8. All food is home cooked except the bar burgers.Menu ranges from thai fish cakes as a starter, cod and chips, curry burger and chips and a vegi option. The staff and service is exceptional, a good range of wines and seating outside for the summer. You can eat in the bar or restaurant. I would like salad dressing to be on hand at all times and maybe a couple of salads, like goats cheese for the summer. The menu is apparantely seasonal. I will be going back for more and more!!!!!!

We've eaten here twice now and have really enjoyed the freshly prepared and home made food! Excellent quality and value for money, well worth a try.Good beer as well!

Popped in for lunch today with a pal and am stuffed! But quantity in no way compromised the quality. The menu offers exactly what you want in the way of decent pub grub (including vegetarian options) but I had no hesitation in going for the chorizo burger which was beyond expectations. Homemade burger (which was more than a quarter-pounder) topped with delicious chorizo and mozzarella. The chips and homemade coleslaw were excellent also. Never usually do puddings but was tempted by the sticky toffee pudding which was just perfect! I now intend to try everything on the menu in the near future. My friend was equally impressed. Friendly service and surroundings - could not ask for more of a great little local pub!!! (Oh, and very reasonably priced for this quality of food!) Will be back soon for a family lunch or dinner - kids are made very welcome too!

Such a good meal for really reasonable prices! I had the burger as it was recommended and thoroughly enjoyed it, I'll be sure to be going back!!

What a great little pub with big food. My son went as far as to say the chorizo burger was the best burger he has ever eaten (and he should know!) I had off the bone, ham egg and chips which was delicious and my husband refused to be beaten by 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 egg, 2 hashbrowns, black pudding, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and toast all day breakfast. All this for £22!! what a bargain, we will be back very soon,
