Popped in for a beer whilst staying in Builth, very warm welcome, dog friendly and sunny beer garden out back with music and a couple of garden games. So cheap too (less than £5 for a 2 pints, and 1 was San Miguel!)! Highly recommend it, they have reopened after 3 years and are trying very hard to attract customers. Was so nice we had to have a 2nd pint! 😁👍

Overall pretty good but probably not as good as last year. Service was a tad slow but then we turned up a bit late so, fair is fair! No real ale on which was disappointing. Not bad though so would return.

Came here with my family, as soon as we entered, the place feels cold and not nice smelling. We had travelled quite a bit that day so decided to stay and eat. On arrival the bar was empty no staff to greet us. Finally we were handed menus. We ordered drinks and meals at the bar. Service was extremely slow, the waitress seemed more interested in taking alcohol into the kitchen than serving other customers. Finally the meals arrived, not nice at all, warm and greasy. During our time here, the chef was in and out the back door,from the smell I can only assume she was smoking in between service. Not hygienic at all. Need less to say we will not be back. The place could be amazing with right management but from what I have seen from my visit it is a massive let down!!!!! Avoid and save your money

After seeing the mixed reviews we decided to give it ago, sadly the service was shocking after asking if we could order we got our meals which were all very nice apart from my daughter who had the tikka masala which although tasty was luke warm and extremely spicy but as the staff didn’t come back to table check we couldn’t mention it, at no time were we offered anymore drinks even though we sat with empty glasses for sometime, we ordered puddings from the menu only to be told 20 minutes later that they didn’t have 3 out of the 4 puddings we ordered, something they should’ve known at the beginning of the evening and we shouldn’t have had to wait 20 minutes to be told they didn’t have it! No staff at the bar for long periods, not something you would expect on a Friday night and what is one of the busiest weekends of the month, so all in all a big disappointment

My husband found this place online and read the food was good , so after a long trip we decided to stop and eat here ! Beautiful place from the outside but as we walked in we felt like aliens , obviously more of a locals pub, we weren’t greeted, we had to ask if we could sit down as their was only one table not reserved and it wasn’t laid up , all we could smell from this table was the toilets, and quite a few flies around by the kitchen : toilet area . upon using the toilets , the ladies had no toilet seat and the other cubical the door wouldn’t shut or lock! We were close to walking out , then our food arrived and it was gorgeous , the young girl serving was doing a fantastic job considering she was on her own , she was attentive to the customers once they were seated , waitressing and running the bar ! Probably won’t visit again the food was nice but overall not a nice place inside

My husband and I decided to eat at the The Lamb Inn based on the good reviews on tripadvisor. Initially we thought we had gone to the wrong place and considered walking straight back out. After checking on trip advisor again that we were in fact in the right place we decided to stay and eat dinner as planned. The food was excellent, really tasty and generous portions and based on this would recommend the place as somewhere that serves a decent meal if a little slow on its delivery. Everything else was terrible. The service was probably the worst I have ever experienced. The front of house couldn’t have been less attentive and was clear that he was more concerned about chatting up a girl who was sat in the kitchen all night and only popped out to help herself to another pint (couldn’t tell if she was supposed to be working or just entertaining the chef). Tables were left uncleared and in order to place any orders you’d have to go to the kitchen to get the lads attention and you’d still have to wait for him to come out. At one point someone was behind the bar but was using the main line to make a personal phone call. You needed to prompt the waiter to get anything, like menus or cutlery. The music was deafeningly loud to the point where you had to shout to speak to each other. The overall set up was a little strange as there wasn’t an atmosphere to the place and seemed as though it was trying to decide if it was a classic locals pub or an Inn that serves good food and I could probably go on from there about how the lad also open up the fire door to either have a fag himself or to continue talking to the girl letting all the cold as well as the cigarette smoke into the rest of the pub whilst we were all eating etc. This was a mid week visit and you may be received differently over the weekend but I wouldn’t ever be going back I’m afraid.

After reading the reviews we thought we would try the lamb and what a good choice that was. On arrival we noticed how clean the pub was. We were greeted by a happy young lady who managed to find us a table as the restaurant was very busy, I had the baked salmon which was cooked to perfection and my husband had the mixed grill. We were told that there would be a little wait but the 30 minute wait was worth it. What a lovely little place, amazing food friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. We will definitely visit again when in Wales.

4 friends new to Builth Wells stumbled into this place late afternoon looking for food. Service was excellent and food was lovely. We all had something different and no one felt they'd made a bad choice. The chips were properly made, to order, it seemed. They were lovely. Battered cod excellent, as were steak and ale pie, gammon and chips and peri peri chicken. Pub food at its best. We booked for Sunday lunch which looked like an excellent deal for £8 but we were too hungover to turn up and had a big breakfast at our BnB. But we'd all like to visit again.

We decided to have a meal out on the last night of our camping trip. Upon arrival they were very welcoming, but before we ordered food the restaurant was empty and the service was very slow. The soup was like a paste, the beef lasagne was not what was expected, but the lamb shank was delicious. Overall the pub was a bit of a disappointing trip. The service needs massive improvement, and quality of food needs looking at.

After a hard days work, 5 of us popped into the lamb for a meal. It was 8:15 so time was pushing on. We were a bit worried we wouldn’t be able to eat. But it was no problem. The lovely waitress came over to our table recommending what she thought would be nice. A few of us didn’t fancy full meals, but they were more than happy to accommodate to whatever we wanted. First my pint came. As a man who likes a lager, I ordered a carling. Great pint, icy cold and tasted as if the lines are regularly cleaned. Then our food came. The boss of the family had salmon. It looked devine when it first came out, the governess later confirmed it was one of the best pieces of salmon she had. My girlfriend has a childish meal so we won’t mention her. My sis’ boyfriend had a chicken platter. Looks very well presented and well assembled. Sis had a special request which looked to die for. I wasn’t too hungry so just had a Chicken, Bacon and cheese burger. My lord it was nice. Fresh chicken breast very succulent. Homemade coleslaw very tasty and well seasoned. Everything was fantastic and will definitely be returning. Ahoy can see from the photo it was not a small meal, but of course big dog smashed it. 10/10

Dined here whilst attending the Winter Fair for the first time. Good selection on the menu and reasonably priced. Food took a while to get to us but was well worth the wait, think this was because we got our order in behind another largish table. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals although one steak wasn't quite up to scratch. My halloumi starter and chicken main were superb. Staff were friendly. Special mention to the Bread of Heaven bitter, superbly kept, a very good pint!

Friends booked a table for Sunday night for 7:30 - when we turned up the pub was only half full. The Barman sent us to our table next to a big chalk board entitled "Sunday Menu" telling us the menus were on the table and he would be with us in 5 minutes; after 15 minutes and asking a waitress if we could order he turned up. At this point he said the "Sunday Menu" wasn't available on a "Sunday Evening" - possibly might have been helpful before we sat we thought, so we ordered from the table menu only to be told that all of our first choices were off (again we thought it might have been helpful if he had told us exactly what was available before we sat down!!).

We booked with friends for a Sunday dinner, it took at least 20 minutes for any of the staff to greet us and that point it was to only let us know that they had run out of beef and only had pork left. We understood as we had booked for 2pm. As we were ordering the only option left we noticed a couple refuse the dinner they were given and leave the restaurant. We took this as a sign to leave and very glad we did as we went to the ‘White Horse’ and had the best Sunday dinner I have ever had in a pub.

There was only one gent serving at the bar and delivering the food which is ok as it was quiet when I got there but that soon changed and the bar became busier so the food took longer to arrive. Although it wasn't his fault he was apologetic and the food was definitely worth the wait. I had the chicken to start and gammon for main. The gammon covered the plate and tasted amazing.

This is a lovely little restaurant with really lovely staff but the food and drink was very disappointing. I ordered a pineapple juice with lemonade and it tasted foul. When I went back to the bar the waiter looked confused and said they didn’t have pineapple juice and didn’t know where they found that from!! It was clearly out of date!! We both ordered lasagna and they were the smallest lasagnes I had ever seen. But more disturbingly was that they they both looked so different. One looked like lasagne but the other looked like it had been dropped, scooped back in the dish and was then covered with cream. I really don’t know what the white liquid was on one of them but the other didn’t have it and it tasted terrible. The portions were small and not worth the money.

Builth Wells is a small village on the bank of the River Wye. The Lamb Inn is on the main Street. My wife and I ordered the Shepherd's Pie, and it was extremely good. Unlike most Shepherd's Pies, which are made with minced lamb, this one was "pulled lamb" (and lots of it!), served with crunchy beans and carrots. It was a very satisfying meal after a day's walk, and washed down with pint of "Real Ale", it made a pleasant end to our day. The young man who served us was very pleasant and attentive. The Lamb is an unpretentious eatery, but well worth a visit.

A re-vamped shop-front hostelry serving modern euro-cuisine. They were very busy on the Friday night I dined, but the manageress went out of her way to seat me. Nice. Excellent potato and leek soup followed by a terrific piece of seared salmon over fusilli pasta and sliced pak choy. Recommended - but watch the busy nights!

What a lovely pub/restaurant after a busy day working decided to go for a pint. Builth is not s big place so ended up in The Lamb. On entering I was greeted by a friendly, bubbly young lady, whose name I discovered was Steph. She was working very hard but always had a smile for her customers. After having my pint I decided to have some food. I felt a bit arkward just asking for a table for one but Steph put me at ease and got me seated and gave me a menu. I ordered a steak medium. What can I say? The meal was delicious, steak was cooked medium and everything else on the plate was fresh. I lost all track of time and it was soon time to leave. This pub/restaurant is a little gem in Mid Wales. I believe they have an outside area as well. I must say I will pop in again the next time I'm passing for the food and Steph's friendliness. Hope the rest of the staff are like her.

Visited this Inn on advice from Trip Advisor and reviews, booked for 730pm we decided to eat early as we wanted to go and see a film. We tried the Friday night steak night £20 for 2 plus a bottle of wine, service was good and did not have long to wait for our meal, the meal was well presented and served and plenty of it, the steak cooked just the way we like, all in all a very good meal and experience, will definitely call in again when passing through.

I like to visit the lamb as regularly as possible. On this occasion I was greeted by the newest chef Jamie. I ordered the leg of lamb steak off of the recently re-written menu. Unfortunately it turned out that they had run out of Lamb on the previous shift. The problem I faced was a selection dilemma. Everything sounded so delicious from the menu that I had a hard time deciding. I eventually settled for the Ribeye steak, medium rare. This was at the reccomedation of both the chef and serving staff. Well.... wow. I was blown away. The steak was so juicy, with a perfect sear on the outside with a beautiful pink stripe as I cut into it. There was an explosion of taste and I can honestly say it's the best steak I've had in Builth. Jamie is a rare young talent and I hope the pub hold onto him.

Sunday evening dinner ruined by 2 out of control children being allowed to play with a football through the bar/restaurant area and one of the children screaming hysterically on and off for a 30 minute period. Parents didn't care and bar staff seemed to think it was a bit of a laugh. As a visitor to this town, the message I would give to the pub is that this is unpleasant and unacceptable to diners, and for those thinking of visiting, think again. Shame, because the curry was quite good and the beer very drinkable, but what should have been a pleasant experience was totally ruined.

3 of our party of 6 chose the gammon steak. What a plateful! The gammon was beautifully cooked as were all the trimmings. Staff were friendly. The meals took a while to arrive but this was OK since they were obviously freshly cooked. The place was full, not surprisingly since it offered such good value for money.

Very family friendly with great staff and great food,Very clean and tidy with plenty of tables and a lovely sofa by the fire on those cold nights.The bar staff even explained that there would be a delay in getting our food due to the amount of people in the pub. If they call a 30 minuet wait a delay then I am happy to wait every time as that is all it took to get our meals.Well worth a visit and a wait, if needed.

We recently stayed in Builth Wells for five nights and ate here for three of them. The food was delicious and it was difficult to choose what to have as a great selection. Personally would recommend the Thai Green Curry it was great, but everything we ordered was lovely. Friendly bar staff is always a bonus and so The Lamb ticked all our boxes thank you

We stopped in Builth Wells on a sunday on our way south. We were delighted with the lovely feel of The Lamb Inn.I had garlic mushrooms which were delicious and my request for some parmesan cheese was no trouble. My husband had the delicious lamb burger. Very juicy burger and crispy sweet potato chips. The staff were great. We'd definitely come again.
