The Lamb Inn in Wiltshire

A Beautiful traditional pub with an extensive menu, fabulous food and attentive staff. Will definitely return when in the area.

Absolutely first class pub and stunningly good food. Attention to detail and customer service is exemplary. Will be back again ASAP

We visited for a meal on a wet Tuesday afternoon and had a lovely table in the window overlooking the forest. The menu is excellent, plenty of options to suit any taste. Service was friendly and efficient - Bethany was excellent and took particular care of our dog ! The food was great, quality and quantity both above expectations, and the desserts that followed finished off a 5 star experience. We will definitely return when we’re in the area.

What a beautiful country inn, went for the first time today and will say, won’t be the last, staff were super friendly, food was out of this world, best liver and bacon ever!! Beautiful location!!!

Went with family good service from the French Batman Meals generally very good 2 liver and bacon I ham egg and chips I mushrooms in wine O Mac mac n cheese and pulled pork All very tasty only criticism might be traditional bubble and squeak just mash with veg added afterwards Chips slightly overdone Clean plates all round would revisit

We stopped for early evening meal. It was nice to see some Veggie dishes on the menu, our meal was excellent . The young man from Annecy looked after us very well. All in all a very good experience.

We wanted a lunch stop in the New Forest on our way to Weymouth, and we couldn’t have picked better. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, and the food was lovely. The ponies outside were an added bonus. Hope I can call again in the future.

Food arrived after a long wait- Meals (roast beef) were not great - meat was hard and no taste - drinks were practically thrown at us - all in all a laughable excuse for a pub! The only reason I suspect it is still open is the lack of competition in the immediate area - There are other great pubs in the New Forest - I would recommend you explore and give this one a miss!

Wow …. Best food in the new forest, we stopped on our way through and so glad we did. Food and staff fabulous. Will definitely be back

Loved it. Saw Trip advisor review regarding best pie! It was great, chips perfect, veg fab gravy yum Def going back with family and baby. I was told Best to book if going Thursday to Sunday. The New owners since January make you very welcome. Lots on menu I’d like to try.

Delicious food best steak and ale pie I’ve ever had, great atmosphere with friendly staff and locals. Good pricing for the quality of the food too.

16 of us had lunch to celebrate my parents anniversary. We had all pre ordered our meals and from start to finish everything ran very smoothly. Lovely attentive and friendly staff and delicious meals were had by us all. Thank you .would definitely recommend

Another outstanding meal with family & friends and our family dog . We were all made to feel very welcome from start to finish. Great food and friendly and helpful staff . See you again soon . Well worth a visit .

Friendly and attentive staff. Opp field in the New Forest. Not much of a view from inside the pub. Outside tables and chairs a bit tatty. Back garden closed in and not inviting. Food was good. Especially liver. On the expensive side. Old fashioned theme.

Came across The Lamb at Nomansland purely by chance on a tour of the New Forest. We only wanted a beer and a sandwich. We were greeted at the bar by a very pleasant girl who chatted with us and took our order which made us fell at ease immediately. We ordered the Ham and Mustard baguette which came with a small salad and a bowl of chips. Probably the best chips ever. The girl who served us outside was also genuinely friendly. All in a very nice establishment with delightful staff. Would definitely go again.

We visited as a group of friends, we all really enjoyed our food. The chicken, ham hock and leek pie was delicious and I understand its made in house. Would recommend!

I visited with my sisters for a birthday meal. Two of us ordered the fish & chips. The fish was a large piece it was unfortunately mostly batter. The third meal ordered was the pie & chips which was ok. But for the prices charged you would expect better. The drinks are very expensive at £7.40 for a pint of Draught Coke. All in all not impressed.

We met our friends at the pub which was their suggestion we visit. All four of us were delighted with the food and service -3 cottage pies with their ‘secret’ recipe and one lamb tagine. We all enjoyed our lunch and the only criticism is that we would have liked some green vegetables to accompany the cottage pie. Two of us had deserts which were also very good. A bottle of Merlot accompanied our meal. We finished with coffees. Bethany gave excellent happy service and the new manager, Dan, also looked after us. After starting our lunch at 12.30 we left at 3 pm after a super lunch on a wet day.

We went for a family Sunday lunch. We were shown to our table almost straight away and told someone would come over to take our drink order. We waited quite a while before this happened and then again waited almost 20 minutes in total before getting our drinks. We all ordered our Sunday roasts and these were brought out very quickly. We knew before going that the prices are on the high side but thought we’d give it a go so expectations were high. The roasts themselves are pretty basic and the veg is very minimal. A family of 4 adults had to share 2 tiny dishes of veg consisting of carrots, broccoli and cabbage. There was one piece of broccoli each, about a tablespoon of cabbage and a few carrots, didn’t really understand why more wasn’t offered. My husband asked for extra gravy which never turned up. Nobody came to ask if everything was ok or to see if anyone needed more drinks. My husband had to go to the bar mid meal to order another pint. You have to pay an extra £3.99 if you want extras including roasted parsnips, cauliflower cheese.. we ordered some parsnips, these were so disappointing, they were basically boiled! No colour on them at all and couldn’t taste any honey. Drinks are pretty expensive too, a pint of peroni costing £6.45 and a pint of lime and soda £3.00!! All in all a bit of a disappointment, a real shame as it’s a local pub to us.

Took my wife here for her birthday dinner, she doesn't eat large meals so generally has a starter and chips for her main course and then a dessert. She chose the pate, when it arrived it was semi-liquid in an egg cup and proved to be utterly tasteless. She said she had had better pate from the local supermarket. My fish and chips were very good, although at £18.99, were just about the most expensive in the 'Forest'. We split an apple crumble for dessert which seemed to have burnt bits of apple in it, not the best we have had. As a birthday treat, it was a disappointment, especially having eaten here many times over the last 25 years with Lee and Sarah who's standards were always exceptionally high. With new owners/management and we have known Duane and Debbie also for 25 years at the New Forest Inn, things will have to improve especially with the summer influx of holiday makers in the coming months.

Friday nights are busy but well worth the trip out if you are not local ! Great pub, bigger than it looks with bar, hard working staff and fabulous food, ok it’s not a place rated by that tyre company but its great honest food with generous portion sizes, well presented and tasty !! Which is pretty much all you want from decent pub food, four meals with friends all different all arrived pretty much together, staff are brilliant hardworking but seem happy ! and genuinely pleased to see you ! Can’t rate it high enough, but you will need to book especially at weekends I would say. So good we booked to go back in a few night time, oh and lovely village set in the New Forest so what’s not to like !!

£6.40 for a pint of peroni! Lots of tables squashed in. Didn’t try the food but menu not very interesting. It wouldn’t stand out for a return visit

Came to inspect new team! No beer as long overdue inspection of system underway. No worries as wine list well presented and informative. Kitchen in good form for chicken roulade and lamb tagine!

Haven’t been to this pub for a few years, but so pleased to have returned since under new management. Atmosphere was so lovely and friendly, made to feel really welcome and relaxed as soon as we had stepped in the door. Log fire was lit and the pub was warm and cosy . Loved the fact that you could stand by the bar, chat and order drinks that way. Whilst eating , food and drinks orders were taken and bought to the table. Not sure how anyone could not like the food served, proper homemade and deliciously tasty food. Will definitely return very soon. New favourite place to eat

Always a nice venue, but recent change of ownership has not carried forward the usual high standard of cooking. We chose a Chicken Kyiv. It was NOT a Chicken Kyiv. There was no filling in the chicken breast. It should be filled with butter and herbs. This was a dry piece of chicken, overcooked and coated in what was referred to as a 'jus' (pretentious), but was so dry it had no juice at all. Trade descriptions act! The other dish was a chicken pie. The good bit - it was a proper pie. Not just plonked in a pot with filo pastry top stuck on. But again it was dry and overcooked. The interior was lacking in any moisture. The added gravy pot made it edible, but drowned the taste. The veg was good. All in all, a major downward step in quality from the previous owners. We went on a Monday so our experience may have been down to the main chef having a day off. But! It should not have been that poor. The new bar staff are very good and offer excellent service. We hope the cooking problem can be fixed.

Haven’t been to the lamb in quite sometime but heard it was under new management. Very positive difference, warm, friendly and inviting. Great menu with options for gluten free. It’s a lovely location and would definitely recommend. We are local and will be back now it is much more welcoming.

Came here last week after a long break from the Lamb. The new owners are firmly in place and the standout to me was just how friendly and welcoming the team were - great atmosphere in a warm cosy pub. Good food, good beer and a great wine list with lovely glasses as well. Will be back - soon!

This place was really lovely. It was nice and warm, good selection of drinks, wine list on offer, background music. The food was hot and very tasty. They had a specials board too. My husband choose the Surf, Turf and Cluck burger at £25, it was huge! I had the hand cut New Forest Sirloin Steak, it was cooked to perfection. Surprisingly we managed to squeeze in an apple and cider crumble which was tasty too. A big thank you for a lovely evening, we will definitely be back with our dog 🐕 😊

Lovely traditional forest pub, new landlords are doing a great job. Wonderful traditional Sunday roast lunch, and great service. We will definitely return!

Pleasant pub and nice food but our visit was completely spoiled by the number of dogs. It is only a small, rather narrow pub but there were 11 dogs in it when we were there and then suddenly a party of five people came in,...

Absolutely brilliant. Food excellent and the service ( lewis) was absolutely brilliant we all had a laugh when ever we went in ( was there with my husband and sister in law) so thank you once again ( ps I was the dope who walk...

Lovely Country Pub, nice welcome, typical country pub which is very rare these days. We had a ploughman’s to share and loaded chips. The chips were a meal in themselves. The ploughman’s was very nice although not enough bread and cheese. They could have given...

Lovely pub in aovely spot. Quire an extensive menu with specials board. The steak and ale pie was superb with a tasty crispy topped pastry served with a little pan of gravy. Lovely fresh veg and tasty mustard mash. The cod with chorizo with saute...

I'm so glad that we visited The Lamb Inn during a recent trip to the New Forest. We had a dog with us (dog friendly pub!), and also my mum who uses a mobility walker. There's three steps into the building, with a sturdy handrail,...

As a family we have visited this lovely pub many times and chose it again to celebrate the recent passing of our mum, as she lived it here. The food is absolutely delicious and I particularly enjoyed my homemade lasagne. They staff are friendly, attentive...

Great location for exploring the New Forest, near the Rufus Stone and facing an open green with New Forest ponies grazing. We had Sunday lunch but opted for the light choice of roast meat in ciabatta bread, ideal size and very tasty but would be...

We ate here several times whilst staying on holiday in nomansland. The staff were friendly, and the service was attentive. They are also very dog friendly. The food was of good quality, and the portions were quite big. Would definitely recommend a visit to this...

A lovely experience at the end of our camping trip. Accessible venue, step free and lots of room to manoeuvre. The food was absolutely delicious, we had the small plate chicken roast which we were glad a small plate was available for it! The chicken...

Lovely pub, staff really friendly, food quick to arrive and extremely tasty, loos were spotless and pretty pub garden. Highly recommend and will return

Lovely new Forest pub. Great for walks and decent good value pub food. Very enjoyable. Nice garden with great bedding display

Brilliant all round!! We went for my 40th and had a group of 15. Service was great, staff so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Food was amazing. All came out same time, hot well presented and every one commented about how good there...

Such excellent service even though the pub was busy and we were a large group. The menu has something for everyone and the loaded fries were a hit

This was our second visit to this pub, and the landlord was very rude and most unwelcome to us as soon as we entered the pub . Unfortunately, I think he relies on his regular trade and finds it acceptable to be rude on passing...

We dropped by for an early supper in the pub's pleasant back garden with two other couples earlier this week, having regularly lunched at the pub over the past few years. The waitresses were always pleasant, the food good and reasonably priced, but this last...

This is a warning so you don't get ripped off like us! We spent well over £100 with food and drinks. Paying the bill we said add 10% to the charge for service. when we queried why the invoice came out well over 10%, the...

My husband and I stopped off here with the thoughts of lunch and a drink whilst out on Saturday lunchtime. We decided to sit out on the front so my husband went inside and asked for 2 pints of cider. The man that served him...

Second time we've eaten here and we were not disappointed. Food was exceptional and the service likewise, a lovely group of staff. Recommend this to anyone including families, it's easy going and very friendly. Ten out of five stars 🤩

A great pub/restaurant for lunch, especially for a Coeliac (me). My brother and sister-in-law took my friend and I for a lovely meal there yesterday. I was so pleased to see a gluten free selection and chose Liver and Bacon. It came with onion gravy,...

My first time at this pub for lunch today and what a great experience. We were a group of 4 , myself and three friends of more mature years, two of whom are a little unsteady on their feet. On seeing us arrive, a member...

Disappointing meals, not worth the money. Sirloin fatty and grisly. Fondant potatoes undercooked and vegetables means carrots. When we told them of our dissatisfaction they didn’t care. Eat somewhere else, beer good though.

A most unfriendly greeting by the chap behind the bar on Sunday afternoon. A smile and a hello isn’t hard to do ! Only popped in for a drink after a forest walk. This pub should be a great destination pub to go to, but...

A lovely old pub in a great spot on the edge of the New Forest. Friendly staff and a good range of food. Limited options for any dietary requirements (I can’t have dairy and so there was only sorbet as dessert and they didn’t have...

We were last here a few years back so decided to resisit. Nice and cosy with a lovely fire and it wasn't crowded at 1pm on a Saturday. I had liver snd bacon and the wife had prawns and also. mushrooms on crusty bread. My...

Have been coming to the lamb for many years now probably 20 and it’s always been very good wondered how it would go with a new chef because he would have a hard act to follow,well if the two meals we’ve had lately are anything...

The most gorgeous food. The dirty fries are delicious. The ploughman's is to die for !! The brocolli and soft cheese soup was just sooo good. The staff are amazing. What a great bunch of people. Highly recommend. Will return soon as can't stop thinking...

The food was delicious, a very skilled chef. Lovely sized portions. All the staff were very attentive and extremely helpful. We had a lovely evening and cannot wait to come back. The pub had a relaxed atmosphere and it was very good value for money.

About thirty of us booked for a Friday night meal. We pre ordered from an interesting menu besides the usual roast turkey, couple of curries were reportedly very good. The vegetarian option was squash and couscous in a filo pastry wrap, also very good. Serving...

Booked a table weeks in advance for 13th November. Booked for a family get together & birthday treat for my great auntie. We ordered roasts & puddings but when we then requested coffee’s, were told they needed the table back. We asked if there was...

Lovely atmosphere, great staff and service. Portions very good great value for money. Dog friendly too.

Had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch. The staff were very helpful and the food great, (I had a roast beef ciabatta). Would not hesitate to return if the opportunity arises.

We recently came for Sunday lunch, all the food was stunning, proper home cooked comfort food. All the staff were lovely and friendly and the whole vibe was very welcoming. They do bring out the mains very quickly after finishing starter but that’s the only...

Staff were lovely, food mediocre to poor. 4 roast beef’s, inedible. A proper chef should know how to cook roast beef! It was over cooked, 3 had over 50% of their 2 slices of beef were fat, should have never left the kitchen looking like...

We spent a very nice midweek evening at The Lamb, which is a pretty pub in a quiet village. The staff were pleasant and the food was good - especially the pie! I would definitely recommend going to The Lamb for a quiet drink or...

We were a party of eight, booked in for Saturday lunchtime. Only two of us arrived on time! Three were stuck in roadworks and arrived 20 minutes late and the other three were held up in very slow traffic from London and arrived just over...

First time visit for Sunday roast to celebrate husband's birthday. Chose the blade of lamb sharing platter from the specials board, such a good choice. The meal was delicious excellent yorkshire puddings, roasted carrots with the lamb delicious, only letdown the vegetable sides were dry....

Sadly, today 21 August 2022 was the first and last meal we shall have at The Lamb, Nomansland. The Sunday Roast was by far the worst my wife and I have ever had. Whilst we did manage the meat OK (I had chicken and my...

Booked ahead and managed to get a table on arrival seated outside. Nice as it was one of the very humid hot evenings! The menu is very nice with a lot of choice but also a good variety of food for a pub setting. The...

Sunday roast was a bit of a let down, below average, the pub wasn't even that busy. The vegatables were dry, and when asked why or if we could have some others, were told no sorry, we can't waste. Thats fine, but serve the food...

Forty years ago we lived on the other side of the New Forest, and would occasionally visit the Lamb. In those days the best you could say about it was that it was ‘traditional’. Had it stayed like that it would not have survived the...

We visited here recently for a birthday. The staff and service was excellent, we were made to feel very welcome. We didn't have starters - opted for mains and puddings instead. The mains were so good, especially the lasagna and beefburger - the chips were...

A family of siblings (13) chose to celebrate sisters’ birthday. The staff were obliging and helpful. What I particularly liked when booking was that there was no request for deposit or requiring pre-orders. Everyone got a meal that they fancied that day. Food arrived altogether,...

We opted for a meal at the Lamb Inn as it was easy walking distance from our motorhome touring site. We had a couple of mixed berry ciders and then ordered our food from an relatively small standard pub menu (though there was also a...

We have just had the most yummy roast dinner . It was so good and everyone in our family had a lovely meal . Thank you we will return soon .

We had a large choice of celebrations to attend on Saturday 5 June and, wanting to do something to mark the occasion, we chose the tribute act here. AFTER we ordered our drinks and food the waitress casually told us the act had just cancelled...

We were so happy we chose The Lamb for lunch. There were 7 of us, four adults and 3 children. From start to finish the staff were fantastic. It means so much to be made to feel welcome, especially with little ones. The menu is...

We came to The Lamb Inn after a glorious walk in The New Forest. We came for a few drinks and some snacks, as food wasn't being served yet. The women behind the bar were very friendly and the pub itself is very nice and...

The Lamb was quite busy for a Friday lunchtime. We met friends there as it opened at midday and it quickly filled up. There was a good choice and some lovely specials. The portions were generous and all our meals were very tasty. The plates...

We have visited on several occasions now and we are yet to be disappointed! Food is always delicious and homemade. Choice of specials is great and the staff are extremely pleasant. Would definitely recommend!

Quirky, old fashioned decor combined with fresh tasty food, beer and spot on service meant for a lovely lunch. The waitress was attentive and chatty without being over-bearing. My steak was just right and my wife's sole was light and tasty. As for the desserts!...

My sister in law (and best friend) and I went here for lunch today. We have done so before, because we know we won’t be disappointed! I love the whole atmosphere of the pub, a good old traditional English pub. The service is brilliant, very...

Another visit to this delightful country pub with family to celebrate my Dad's 90th birthday. Tasty food, with very good portions, served by super friendly owner. We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to visiting again. This pub is in the heart of...

Excellent quality food. Generous portions and good value for money. Staff very attentive and helpful. 6 of us enjoyed a very nice lunch there

Lovely food, ample portions and very fairly priced. Very nice staff who were very attentive and friendly

We have visited the Lamb many times over the years and always enjoyed our visit. Unfortunately today’s was a disappointment. Luckily we both ordered the same meal, or would have been eating separately. We went for the pie of the day, which came with mashed...

Me & my boyfriend visited tonight for a date night, such a lovely find. We sat on a table in front of the open fire which kept us warm & toasty on such a cold night. The food we had was AMAZING, i had the...

We recently had a joint birthday celebration at the Lamb. Zara , Lee and their staff provided a lovely warm private area for us and our guests, we had a delicious 3 course menu with plenty of choices, all of the same good quality. Zara...

Went in for a meal and you could tell that everything was home cooked and well made. Definitely a place to stop if your in the new forest. Lovely staff and lovely owners. Definitely coming back

We always enjoy our visits to this proper country pub, it's friendly and welcoming with a blazing log fire, exactly what you need at this time of the year. Our meal this evening was excellent, there was a variety of original specials on the menu,...

Fantastic location overlooking ponies grazing on the green. The staff were attentive and the food was delicious. The winter berry pie I had for dessert was so tasty and very reasonably priced compared to the mains. Will definitely be back.

I used to use the lamb many years ago, and I can understand that times have changed, but... it used to be full of locals drinking in a nice pub, but now it's a trip out for something to eat, and a very limited choice...

A lovely pub in a great location in the New Forest. Not cheap but the food is absolutely first rate and the attention to service exceptional. Apart from being addressed as 'Guys' which appears to be the norm these days regardless of one's gender or...

We have walked past this pub a number of times whilst out walking in the New Forest, but have never ventured in. As it was my wife's birthday we decided to book a table. After a lovely walk in the New Forest we went to...

Warm welcome in the middle of new forest. Donkeys outside on the green. Open fire. Amazing homemade meals. We had the fish and chips and lasagne. The best lasagna I’ve ever had.

I found the food very ordinary - I can cook better food at home. Service was nice though, and the leafy surroundings delightful.

We had a 90th birthday celebration in November for 22 adults and 5 children and Zara,Lee and all the staff could not have made us feel any more welcome. The food was excellent, came out hot, promptly and efficiently by the staff. Great atmosphere and...

We booked for Sunday lunch with friends, Have never been to this bit of the forest before, but it was on the side of the A31 that we needed to be! No personal recommendation from anyone, but it was lovely. We had the roast, the...

We are staying at Green Lane Holiday park and The Lamb was recommended to us by The Manager of our Lodge. We could not have been more delighted with our visit. We arrived and were so relieved to see that all the staff were wearing...
