The Lamb Inn in South Oxfordshire

Super tasty food .amazing choice of gluten free options even had battered fish and charcuterie options gluten free . Really attentive staff . Recommend the pork belly starter.

It was exceptionally good food. The service immaculate. The ambiance was comfortable. I would highly recommend for any occasion.

Truly amazing experience. The food was exceptional. My husband and I went for Sunday lunch and having travelled from London for the weekend we found this beautiful gem where we soaked up the great village atmosphere along with the extremely attentive and friendly staff. Ben the owner could not have done enough for us! The choices of food and fine wine were incredible! We would highly recommend the roast beef and roast chicken. Cooked to perfection with great flavours with every mouthful and great quality. We will definitely be returning very soon. Thank you to Ben and his team for an unforgettable dining experience, 5*

Recommended to us by the Manoir on our first night there. Charming place with the most amazing host - Ben. Great menu and wine list, excellent service and great food. What an amazing start to our celebratory trip to Oxford.

Excellent food and service. better than the best west end restaurants at half the price. Will definitely be returning

Everything was superb from the location, the service and the food. I highly recommend the Lamb Inn at Little Milton Oxfordshire.

This isn’t your average pub. This is truly a hidden gem that has amazing food and fantastic service. The staff are very kind and accommodating. Highly recommend this place to all my friends, I will be returning!

The lamb is a hidden gem for those seeking culinary bliss in an unassuming pub setting. The excellent food, accompanied by friendly service, makes it a standout choice. Whether you’re a local looking for a new favorite spot or a visitor exploring the area, this pub is a must-try for a memorable dining experience.

5 star service - staff so accommodating and super friendly 5 star food - impeccable flavours, cooked to perfection and displayed on the plate wonderfuly. Amazing chef! Fantastic location and beautiful surroundings, most welcoming venue I have been to in a long time. Looking forward to my next visit!

Wonderful Village Pub serving super food, it’s not your normal pub food, but a great menu delivering super food and served by great staff in a friendly environment, can’t recommend enough! We were a family birthday lunch and even though we were a large party the Lamb Inn were excellent ensuring great service, atmosphere and amazing food!

Where do I start? the facts: 1. Booking for 3.30 pm. Sat down at 4.15 pm. 2. Only 2 starters left available. 3. Have you ever had monkfish served with roasties, parsnips and overcooked Yorkshire pudding AND topped with gravy? 4. If you ask for your lamb to be cooked so that it is no longer pink would you expect it to be rare? 5. If you sent your lamb back to be prepared as requested would you expect it back within about a minute in the same condition it went into the kitchen in? 6. All the mains were served with no vegetables. The bill was discounted by all the food costs. that probably tells you all you need to know. Actually, what I think actually happened is that the chef went off duty at 4pm and they tried to muddle through without telling us. I guess they should have declined our booking if they knew it would give them a problem. Very poor management indeed. You have been warned.

We had planned to try the Lamb Inn for some time but something always prevented it from happening. Finally got to have lunch there yesterday and we are so pleased that we persisted. Great service, warm and welcoming atmosphere and excellent food. We will definitely be returning.

We discovered this little gem a few weeks ago and have since returned as it's now one of our firm favourites. Lovely warm ambience in charming surroundings. The food quality is excellent and the host is welcoming and knowledgeable. Highly recommended .

We arranged Sunday lunch for 14 plus 4 young children for an 80th birthday in the family. Four generations together. Ben and his team did a fantastic job getting it all organised. The Sunday roasts are absolutely brilliant anyway, but to get all the meals out at the same time while maintaining the excellent quality was a real feat and deserves special praise. Thank you for a fantastic meal. It’s easy to say “the best roast I ever had” but trust me, these are special.

Another delicious meal at the Lamb - group of 10 for family and friends on a Saturday night. Paige and Reece (Rhys?!) as welcoming as ever, relatively small menu which is always a good sign from a kitchen where the new Chef is working wonders. Superb vegetarian squash risotto-type dish, vegan option available without the ricotta cheese. We are very lucky to have a pub like this in our village.

A wonderful experience! Welcoming and friendly, an elegant selection of menu choices in a casual yet elevated pub environment. The food was delicious! Quaint historic building in a charming village!

Living down the road I’ve been meaning to eat at the “new” Lamb for a long time. It did not disappoint. Service at the bar was friendly and welcoming and the food was incredible. Everything was cooked to perfection. Plus we had a delicious Sancerre...

Ideal Spot for Lunch Good food, served with a smile , and beer well kept. Lovely pub with nothing to fault. Menu varied and some specials available. Sat outside which was pleasant.

A true example of the great British pub. Friendly and inviting staff and the food isn’t your average pub grub. The best roast dinner for miles around! And their gravy is to die for!

This is one of the friendliest, warm welcoming Inns we have dined in for a long time. We have visited several times and the welcome, friendliness, service and atmosphere have never failed. It is simply amazing, every aspect of our experiences.

Fabulous Sunday lunch, crispy yet fluffy roast potatoes, tender and generous roast beef, and crispy, slow cooked pork belly. Very big portions and very good value Best bone broth gravy.

Hi, just a quickie that I'd be grateful if you could pass onto your chef and kitchen crew. I had the fish and chips last night and it was really good. Then it occurred to me this morning that the presentation of the dish was...

The food and service were exceptional. We ate outside on a very warm September evening Thank you for a lovely evening

Unfortunately, I had lunch here today. I had a burger, no bun and chips. The cheese in it was so thin, it was transparent. Yhe exorbitant price of £19./50. I had an americano, no milk. I got 1/2 a cup of coffee. It was disgusting....

A delightful detour from the busy M40 . Excellent non alcoholic beers for the driver. Prix fixe menu highly recommended with vegetarian option. Cherry clafoutis a delight. If warm enough,plenty of tables outside ; if not cosy snug interior.

Waitron service is impeccable!! Food is carefully thoughtout, prepared, cooked and served. Drink s selection is endless. Brilliant place.

Stopped by for my birthday a few weeks ago. Staff were very accommodating even with it being fairly busy. Just an all round perfect evening. The Menu was elevated pub ‘grub’ but something for everyone at a good price. I’ve recommended family and friends to...

lovely country pub, definitely stop by if you’re in the local area.

The lamb inn is a very beautiful country restaurant with lovely staff and good vibe. The owner was very welcoming and gave us his time talking to us and making us feel very welcome. Would highly recommend visiting. Guiness was perfect thanks

Had the most delicious Sunday Roast, slow roast lamb, crispy & fluffy roast potatoes, lovely veg, perfect Yorkshire pudding and a wonderfully reduced and flavorsome gravy! Difficult to find a roast that beats a home one, but this was 10/10! A must try 😍😍

Great pub and restaurant. We went for lunch. We didn’t want a lot but went for their 2 course inclusive lunch. The food was good and hot! The ambiance of the place is lovely with good parking. Of particular note were the essential toiletries provided...

We’d been here before and had a great meal so returned for a special occasion. It was so quiet in there and I can only think that’s because it’s so overpriced now. The menu is also very limited. The girls serving were lovely but the...

Stopped off here for a bite to eat. Fish & Chip's was absolutely yummy, came with peas & homemade tartae sauce. Cooked beautifully, lovely non greasy batter. The pub itself is very cosy and staff are lovely. Would definitely recommend.

Outstanding Sunday lunch Set out for a drive and find this little gem.. food was amazing qbs great to have a choice if small or large Staff friendly and accommodating

We selected this restaurant based on other very positive reviews by other visitors. Everything they wrote was true. Very welcoming staff (including Monty) and a nice local atmosphere. The dishes were lovely, rich taste and very well balanced. We didn’t have such a restaurant experience...

Our second visit to this fabulous pub/restaurant. Could it possibly be as good as the first one last October? It certainly was! Gorgeous setting in the beautiful garden to the rear for pre-lunch drinks which including a great recommendation of a lesser know champagne which...

Excellent service. Food was great too. Would definately go back and recommend. The manager was very knowledgeable and explained the menu very well.

A friend recommended this pub/restaurant and for lack something to do over the Easter weekend we drove there from west London (just over an hour) The village was beautiful and as traditional English and charming as you can imagine (thatched houses and the rest). What...

Terrific not overlong menu of perfectly prepared dishes. A wine list that is interesting and sensibly priced. A welcoming staff who looked after all their customers carefully.

We had a lovely evening at The Lamb Inn last night. Our host was absolutely charming and very knowledgable. The menu was interesting and a bit different and the food when it came was absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend The Lamb Inn.

I've eaten here once but have visited many times and its a fantastic pub. Super friendly with lovely staff. The food was fantastic and I've never heard anything other than this. Everyone I have ever spoken to about the food said it was fantastic too....

The Lamb put on a birthday party for me and my son. We had twenty guests and we ate everything on the menu. Each guest was bowled over by the quality of the food. Service was friendly, but unobtrusive and the drinks list comprehensive. They...

We recently came across this cosy 16th-century old pub just down the road from Le Manoir (in good company with Chef, Luke Selby + bros having just moved in) complete with creaky floorboards, thatched roof and according to Landlord, Ben, a ghost upstairs - all...

Visited tonight for a family celebration but we were told that the wood-fired oven was cooling and therefore the beef wasn’t available. As 3 out of 4 of us wanted beef that meant that we had to leave! Seems odd to have such a limited...

Such a gorgeous place! A wonderfully warm welcome, absolutely exceptionally good food, great wine selection, charming service and a beautiful Little spot. Just gorgeous !

An absolutely amazing experience! We looked over the menu and my wife and I both decided to get the turkey burger. I expected ground turkey and it said that it came with cheese and bacon on a roll. What I got was an incredible turkey...

Been several times since Ben took over, every time has been fabulous, great food, amazing wine list and fab service in a lovely setting. Well done guys . Will be back soon.

Popped in to see new owners and food and drinks prices. Wow how you can afford to go there, God knows. You would think they were in the centre of London. They really need to lower their prices, plus their Larger was awful. Won’t go...

We were driving near Oxford when we decided to call in for lunch at the Lamb Inn in Little Milton. We found a lovely country pub with very welcoming hosts. Lunch was delicious.

We happened upon The Lamb Inn whilst filming nearby and booked our group of 18 for lunch. Ben and his team coped admirably with the large group, looked after us all with excellent service, talking each of our tables through the locally sourced menu, which...

On our way to Windsor we decided to come off the motorway and find somewhere for lunch. Driving through the country lanes we came across the Lamb Inn a 15th century pub. We were warmly greeted by Ben who we found to be the new...

A truly wonderful eating experience. What a find! Under new ownership since April this year, we were warmly welcomed by Ben and Charmaine, the new proprietors, to this delightful thatched-roof pub with a welcoming and homely feel and an idyllic garden to the rear. Guided...

We’ve eaten here twice over the summer as have family who live locally. The pub is under new management who are professional and friendly. Food is truly excellent, especially fish cooked on the grill. Reasonably priced compared to other local offerings... We love it. Highly...

We went to this amazing pub for lunch on Friday. The food was outstanding and is all locally sourced. The owner Ben talked through the menu telling about each dish and where the ingredients had come from. I am gluten free and that was no...

We were looking for a pub near the M40 junction seven to meet some friends and The Lamb was perfect. We have tried other pubs nearby but this was the best of the bunch. A lovely patio for dining out, great food and friendly service.

I've been to the Lamb before and it's always been great. This time, under new management it was exceptional. Delicious food and such a friendly welcome. Ben demonstrated his love for quality food and his knowledge of delicious drinks to accompany each course. Will definitely...

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch here last week. The food and drinks were excellent and the service was warm, friendly and helpful. The new owners are doing a great job and it was lovely to meet them. Highly recommend this place and we hope...

We picked this pub off TripAdvisor and took a detour from our route to get there but left wondering why we bothered. The welcome was friendly enough but the service that followed was less than you would expect. The menu did not really excite on...

What a beautiful little pub. We have driven past so many times and have always said we should go. This is now our new favourite Oxford pub! Host Ben managed to squeeze us in for a table last minute. The setting was beautiful, the pub...

Really excellent place. They did everything to make sure we were happy. They made you feel like you were there only customer despite being busy. Great gluten free selection and very tasty food.

Delighted to visit & dine at local pub under new management retaining lots of charm and showing enthusiasm. The rough edges will be smoothed with time as the experience was a little disappointing.

Booked a table for 7.30pm. When we arrived they put us outside, no mention of this when we booked. When the waiter brought our drinks we asked if there was a table inside because it was too cold to eat outside. The waiter went in...

It was a case of ‘just passing’ for me. I was on my own and had spotted The Lamb on my way to Harcourt Arboretum and made a note to stop off en route back. I’m glad I did. I really only wanted a drink and a small bite to eat. The pâté starter and a cold glass of Sauvignon was just perfect; plus a delicious (really good!) coffee for the road...served with an all-important biscuit! Really easy-going, friendly, gentle, attentive service from the staff. Just what I needed and would definitely return. Thanks so much. Happy reopening! Flo

The place is great and nice to visit and the food is delicious to eat and the staff is very polite and impressive

We were recommended to the Lamb particularly the actual food. However my Texan BBQ chicken was tasty but small and the Pork Goulash special was below standard expected.To serve the Goulash with large junks of bread AND rice with no vegetables let alone the pork itself lacking flavour and being not fully cooked was just not on.We were not asked by the waitress "was everything ok" which was the final straw!!The COVID rules are well observed.

Wonderful local pub. Decided to do a last minute lunch and we weren’t disappointed. The food is even better than I remembered. Delicious stroganoff and fishcakes and my husband couldn’t resist the apple crumble which he thought was excellent. Friendly atmosphere and great service.

I live 15 miles away from this pub -but the journey there is always worth while . It is exactly how a pub should be in my view --really cosy with candles and flowers , and a fire in the winter . The food is reasonably priced and always excellent . Plenty of choice . The two chaps who own it are really friendly and clearly care very much about their business and their customers. All the other staff are also really warm and friendly . another benefit is that it is SPOTLESSLY clean . Covid precautions all in place , I always have a good feeling about life when I come here , and hope to make the journey over again soon --well worth it . Keep up the good work and good luck

Popped in for lunch after a little walk on a beautiful sunny day. Menu had a really good selection and reasonably priced. Everyone really enjoyed their meals and my husband approved of the beer choices. Good friendly service- will visit again

Wonderful gem in Little Milton near Oxford. Really lovely pub with a gorgeous garden. Very nice selection of home cooked pub grub with veggie and healthier options too. Pleasant service, plenty of parking and all reasonably priced. I will go again.

Four of us had a very nice meal last night the food was very good as was the service and atmosphere. Nice big car park and the place has lots of character. Good selection of wines too😀

Lovely warm welcome. Beautiful thatched building. Excellent covid protocols and very clean. Delicious food and a good selection of drinks.

Dinner for 4: all the starters were great and 2 of the mains also. Not so great: the pie was average and my husband's steak was also so/so. All the dishes of an asian nature were excellent (bit surprising in the middle of oxfordshire but nevermind!). Staff were great and very friendly.

We really enjoyed our Sunday Lunch at this Thatched Pub in a small village nr Oxford. The homemade food was delicious and excellently presented. In addition to traditional roasts of lamb beef and pork there were other choices of main course. I particularly enjoyed my starter of Tempura Prawns and Sweet Chili Sauce. With dessert and coffee and drinks for 3 the bill came to c.£100 which was good value. The service was friendly. At the rear of the pub there is a pretty patio and flower garden for al fresco dining. We would highly recommend. The pub is well set up as a Covid Safe Enviroment.

Booked this gem for lunch after a lovely day out touring my home village of Little Milton.The Lamb Inn oozes British charm and class. Incredibly clean and tidy. Plenty parking and lovely garden. Ian and his team engaging and friendly. Great selection of wines and real ale.The menu is traditionally British, reasonably prices, good portion size and simply delicious!We cannot say enough, this pub ticked all the boxes. We are already looking to rebook.

What a gem! We booked here for Sunday lunch as our son is studying at Oxford Brookes uni. Its a nice trip out of the hustle and bustle to The Lamb. Lovely atmosphere with welcoming real log burner and traditional and cosy interior decor. The service was freindly and prompt and a good selection of food available, we had the traditional roast beef which was fab and with tasty gravy, fresh veg and great potatoes. I would thoroughly recommend this pub, we will be returning soon!

. Este es un pub tradicional del siglo 22, un ambiente cálido, acogedor y extremadamente amigable. Bien diseñado con un fuego rugiente, tiene un bar típico de pub y luego un poco apartado, algunas áreas de comedor informales, perfecto para una comida informal con amigos o familiares. El menú es quizás un poco demasiado grande, menos platos podrían ser mejores, ya que la comida es buena en lugar de sobresaliente. , pero una vez dicho esto, es una buena tarifa sólida a un precio razonable. Esta fue nuestra segunda visita y definitivamente volveremos. La terraza parece un gran lugar para una tarde de verano.

We met friends here for lunch. A warm cosy “old fashioned “ pub run by friendly owners. We were surprised at the comprehensive menu and all four of us chose different main courses which were all well cooked and delicious deserts equally as good. Could not speak too highly of our visit we will return.

We visited The Lamb Inn for lunch and really enjoyed the experience. The food was excellent with really good service to match. Very relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Will definitely return in the future.

Este dueño del pub fue muy acogedor cuando nos detuvimos para un almuerzo ligero. El pub está justo al lado de la M 40 en la salida 7. Diríjase por la A 329 hacia Wallingford durante 5 minutos. El menú del almuerzo no es extenso, pero la comida que tuvimos fue muy bien servida y de muy buena calidad.

The Lamb is a real find - excellent beer, friendly service, and remarkable food, all served in a traditional thatched pub in a great location. The lunchtime menu is very reasonably priced and a varied menu is always available. Recommended.

Great dinner in this cosy pub on Valentines night with friends. A nice specials menu with some pub classics. Had the lamb pie which was tender and tasty ...generous portions.Dessert choices were great.The hosts Ian and Des (in thr kitchen) are always welcoming and friendly.

We arrived for lunch just before 2 pm, to break our journey on our way to London. It was Valentine's Day, and we didn't have a reservation but they fitted us in, despite having been really busy. The staff were very helpful and full of smiles despite being tired after the main rush. The food was served quickly and it was beautifully done.The pub itself has a lovely feel to it - cosy and old-fashioned.

amazing food and fantastic service. will definitely come back as soon as i am there. nice views too.

We were in the area for a special meal for my birthday and as we were travelling quite a way made a 'break' of it. We were staying close by and I always use tripadvisor for a recommendation. This was top of the list and very close to where we were staying. It's a very nice place with good honest food, well prepared, tasty and good value for money. The staff were friendly and the bar was full (Wednesday night) with locals as well as us tourists. I always take this as a good sign if the locals are in evidence. We had a range of food from the menu and we all enjoyed our meals.

Extremely friendly hosts, great food and service, reasonable priced and in a fab pub with a lovely atmosphere. Needs to be a pub like this in every town and village 😀

Popped in for a quick lunch, and food was great, proper home cooked grub. Lovely service. Very understanding as we were over an hour late for our booking.

7 of us chose to meet here on a Tuesday in Jan 2020. One person has walking difficulties. There is no disabled access or toilet. On top of that the person behind the bar, told us they did not have enough food for 7 people, and that they were closing the following day.. we left within 5 minutes. Somewhere else got our money.

We came here for our 10th wedding anniversary this weekend and glad we did! The staff were pleasant, friendly and couldn't do enough for us, food was excellent and reasonably priced and the whole place had a wonderful atmosphere. Recommended!

I happened to be going through Little Milton at midday last Sunday and saw The Lamb Inn, popped in and found it was already fully booked but I could have a seat at the bar if I liked. Thank goodness I did, I had the best ever Ploughman's lunch I have ever had! Avery large oval carving dish size, toast, bread roll, 3 wedges of lovely cheeses, a large slice of delicious thick ham, pickled onions, chutney, a lovely green salad, and potato crisps, Very nice atmosphere, quiet classical music playing, packed with people, but all in little rooms and spaces off the central bar, so there was no great noise. Quiet but very busy staff satisfying all these people, a ;lovely ambience altogether

Meet friends here for a catch up and meal . I’m gluten free and have a good choice of meals available for me which is fantastic. Service is very good and staff great. Definitely one of my favourite places to eat .

Visitamos este pub por accidente, ya que tenía la intención de ir al Bull (desde una búsqueda en internet de pubs cerca de Le Manoir) pero estaba firmemente cerrado a las 12. 15 . Así que nos mudamos para encontrar esta gema en su lugar, ¡me alegro de haberlo hecho!

Just called in wet cold evening , nice log fire great warm decor. Ordered steak and chips for quickness.great service meal cooked perfect. Nice pint directors bitter. Just what you want in a good pub10/10

Elegí este pub por casualidad como punto de encuentro a mitad de camino para ponerme al día con un amigo. No podría haber elegido mejor. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. La comida era excelente, con un extenso menú de almuerzo y un interesante menú especial. ¡Los alrededores del pub eran acogedores pero muy elegantes sin ser "gastro pub pretencioso"! !

Reservé esto ya que no estábamos preparados para ir a un restaurante, muy conocido y cercano, donde insisten en dos sesiones para cenar, así que estás comiendo a la hora del 'té de la guardería' o después de las diez. Entró y solicitó una mesa de antemano, el propietario no podría haber sido más acogedor. Llegamos y estacionamos fácilmente detrás de un pequeño jardín realmente bonito, tomamos una copa y tuvimos una cálida bienvenida. Habíamos mirado el menú en el sitio web, que tiene una buena oferta, sin embargo, el menú de especialidades que nos dieron tenía tantos artículos adicionales como el principal, entrantes y platos principales. Difícil de decidir, pero de nuevo, el encantador propietario nos aconsejó y nos dio algunos consejos sobre el calor de los platos, etc. El ambiente encantador y el restaurante estaban llenos, pero esto no afectó al excelente servicio, el ritmo era perfecto. Nosotras dos teníamos stroganoff, los tipos tenían bistec y costillas, pasteles de cangrejo, samosas y calamares para empezar. El arroz salvaje estaba perfectamente cocinado y el stroganoff era filete con hongos exóticos, muy caliente y recién cocinado, el filete era mediano y perfecto, las patatas fritas y recién cocinadas, las costillas se cayeron del hueso. Todos estuvimos de acuerdo en que era de primera clase. Gran variedad de pudines caseros, grandes tamaños de porciones y puede tomar natillas, crema o helado casero con ellos. El costo es tan razonable y casi ridículamente barato teniendo en cuenta la calidad, excelente cocina y servicio. Los baños siempre cuentan una historia en los restaurantes, eran toallas preciosas, recientemente renovadas y agradables. Fuimos los últimos en irnos, no sentimos presión y nos fuimos, todos de acuerdo en que volveremos. Realmente no me puedo quejar. Muy contento de haber rechazado otros establecimientos más pretenciosos y conocidos.

Visited here with my parents. Lovely Pub, lovely staff and management and lovely atmosphere. There was plenty of choice on the menu and our food came out promptly and tasted delicious. Well done!

Esta es mi tercera visita aquí para el almuerzo del domingo. La elección del menú es excelente, aunque todos optamos por un asado. Porciones más que adecuadas, muy bien cocinadas y a un precio extremadamente bueno. El personal es muy amable y acogedor, atento sin ser intrusivo. Tengo y lo recomendaría encarecidamente The Lamb Inn.

We had a lovely dinner at the Lamb Inn. The service was excellent (we reserved a table only a couple of hours before). The food was very good and the portions were more than enough. We both had the pie and it was amazing.

Went for lunch on a Saturday, didn’t need to pre book, but we did grab the last table in the garden.

We made our first visit to the Lamb last Friday with some friends, very nice meal in a lovely traditional country pub. 2 of us tried steak, mushrooms and chips, the other two both had beef stroganoff. My chips were excellent but I didnt fin't the steak very flavoursome and not the best I've had, the other steak looked nicer so i lost out on luck of the plates. the beef stroganoffs weere gorgeous and came woth lovely fluffy fragrant rice. we all had a pudding (sticky toffee as choices were limited due to running out) which were nice but needed a bit more sauce on the top. Not the cheapest place but pretty good, we will visit again.

Great family get together for the Lamb family. We had lovely evening with home made chilli and jacket potatoes and drinks. The Inn is well run with great facilities. The owners made everyone welcome and ensured the evening was memorable for all the family.
