The Lamb Inn in Vale of White Horse

Great little pub, food is very tasty and well priced.

Been there with a crew of bikers and the staff was welcoming, food quick and warm and beer cold. 5*!

Good food, good staff. Good service. Well done. Recommended.

First time, and also took my mother here who was visiting from Wales, so a bit of a risk with a few loud but friendly drunkards at the bar, but food was decent and tasty enough, served by a polite young lady. I liked the old school choices on the menu. Recommended.

Had a fantastic evening in the pub. It is a traditional pub with family at its heart. We were made to feel very welcome, which Is important The staff are friendly and very hard working . The meal we had was excellent my rib eye was served just how i like it .. The service was attentive and it was great value. We enjoyed seeing pictures of the pub past and present. Congratulations on 30 years

Great pub and amazing food, best veggie nachos around!

I would avoid at all costs. Went in with our children for tea when visiting family. The food was awful. Cheap frozen food and over cooked. Ordered nachos and had a hair in it. Took it back to the man at the bar and told him. He said ok and walked away. No apology or offer of refund. Very quiet and nobody else eating but know why now. Very expensive for low quality frozen food

Very cosy, welcoming and friendly place, good food and drink. Very popular recommend you book to avoid disappointment.

My son had just moved into this area and we decided to go out as a family for dinner in Wantage. The pub is actually very large and the prices of the food dishes are very reasonable . at least compared to London prices . We had the big breakfast with a special offer of any draught for £3.00 per pint . The mixed grill , the steak and ale pie which was excellent ad home made , and the giant filled Yorkshire pudding with a portion of chips. All the food was excellent, served piping hot and quickly. The staff were very friendly and the guest beer was Theakston's best which I had not drank for years. We all enjoyed ourselves and said we would be back. This is what a real pub should be like.

Very friendly staff, decent food, and they even have a wonderful playground for the kiddos

Had a lovely dinner here for father's day. Would recommend! Host was accommodating in changing our when we requested so. Food and drinks came out quick!

Lovely family run pub! Best in town!

Have been using this establishment for the past 14 years for lunches and dinners. Good menu and reasonable prices. Spacious with a pleasant outside seating area. Have over the years taken a number of guests there who have all enjoyed their visit.

Dropped in minutes before kitchen closing. Waiters attitude was miles above the average, helped with recommendations and patiently served late guests. Great choice of beers and drinks, lovely atmosphere! Would certainly return!

A good experience, reasonable food Desserts are better than the usual for a pub.

We came down for dinner on Wednesday evening. What a happy suprise that on that day, there was jazz live music. It was absolutely fun, really enjoyed the music. Kudos for organiser to arrange this fun night. Our dinner were great, husband had steak while I had large yorkshire pudding, both meal are excellent. Best pub food in town with 5 hygiene rating. This has become my favorite pub, the staff and owner are friendly, the building has such history, its grand. One thing that if I can suggest improvement towards the yorkshirepudding dish, instead of putting the bacon as bed for the sausages, I would fry them crispy and crumble them on top of the dish, or just serve them crispy, to add texture. but overall, without that, its nice dish already. Will definitely come back to try other dish.

very nice pub nice garden and food is nice staff are very lovely and the food wait time is very good prices are incredible and worth it for food and its a lovely pub in general would go again

Having had a fabulous afternoon in Wantage arrived at the Lamb and orders drinks . Lager had a massive head overflowing the glass and raised up in a mound . Tasted disgusting. Asked for it to be changed . Bar man refused, We were made to purchase another drink. Absolutely disgusting service and beer to two random strangers 😑 visiting the area

Came across this pub on a drive around the area, lovely welcome awaited us on entering, prompt service, good food, waitresses lovely and friendly, recommend to anyone , well worth a visit.

Popped in here with a group of friends. On a Thursday lunchtime with reserved tables enough for 20.

We popped in for the first time here, and the food was good.

A good pub. We enjoyed the beer and found a decent spot in one of the older parts of the building. Not pleased to see football screens on in the main room and the food we had was pretty bog standard. Having so many different offerings (several menus) must make it hard to achieve anything better than average.

Great cosy pub! Always been a great place for years. Kids welcome with wooden play area in the garden. I can't comment on the food recently but lovely place to have a drink for sure.

Food was lovely - we had the lamb shank and the ham hock - meat was so tender it fell off the bone and the mint sauce gravy with the lamb was lovely. Choice of chips or new potatoes, salad or veg. The veg was standard frozen, but cooked perfectly. Followed up with treacle pudding and spotted dick with custard - both really nice. Large range on the menu and specials board, including lots of baguette choices. Whole meal - 2 courses plus a lager each was just under £47 = pretty good these days. Staff were friendly and helpful, food served quickly (allowing for cooking). Nice decor. Has a car park, 5 minutes walk from the town centre.

Lovely food great service very friendly staff

Took my bf here when I came home for Christmas. Felt as homely as I remembered it and had some lovely drinks!

The food was great and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Nicely furnished, a tad pricey but not too expensive!

The lamb was recommended to me by a friend who regularly has a roast dinner here and rates it . I planned a Christmas meal based on their great set Xmas menu You can have two courses for under £20 or three for under £25 . Great options and something for everyone ! Our table was ready in a nice area away from the families with little kids , we were greeted and our drinks ordered quickly even tho the bar was busy with regulars . One of our party wanted something off the set menu and the staff were happy to oblige and keep the price the same which we thought was really obliging ! The starters were hot and tasty , the mains were mighty with plenty of veg and the most wonderful roasties , crispy with a fluffy inside mmmmmm!! We had the salmon which was huge , great value, others had the steak which fortunately was cooked perfectly , altho no one had asked us how it was preferred , maybe we should have asked but despite that it was lovely and not over cooked . Great choice of puds too. Then hot drinks were offered and lovely warm mince pies came out ! The Lamb you excelled yourselves , Lovely food , cosy pub, attentive friendly staff , brilliant value considering more “popular” pubs in Wantage have set menus for more than £30 which honestly would not compare to this! Compliments to the chef!! W

Stopped here on a car journey from Cardiff to London with my grandmother - loved it!

We held a gathering here after my husband's funeral. The staff and service could not have been better. The atmosphere was relaxed. Nothing was too much trouble from the playlist to the food. They made it so easy for us at a difficult time. Buffet was freshly cooked. Thank you all very much indeed. See you soon

Best chicken burger in Wantage forget about the takeaways come here. Thanks

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Service was good and efficient. The pub looks great, however the food was a bit disappointing. Starters were not made from fresh ingredients. Our burgers tasted like McDonald's. No lettuce, no tomatoes, no onions...nothing but beef and cheese on bread. Chips were served warm rather than hot just out of the frier. For that price I was expecting more quality rather than being served frozen food.

Great place to dine freind staff Great service and great food . Would recommend this place to any one

An old pub with a great range of food.

Brilliant service and very helpful. Food was excellent and well price .well recommended

Lamb shank was lovely. Staff were friendly, just a nice local pub.

Our local, food is always good as is the beer. Well worth a visit.

Great food, great price and service. We will definitely go back. They even do Banana split, woo woo

Really welcoming and bike friendly. Good value food

What a fabulous pub! We had a lovely lunch, steaks cooked to perfection, piping hot chips with first class customer service and the prices were very reasonable. Would highly recommend

Traditionele herberg met Engelse gerechten. Goede kwaliteit-prijs verhouding. Vriendelijk personeel. Gezellige sfeer.

We received a warm welcome on arrival and were offered a wide selection of drinks, impressive! Nice friendly helpful staff, great service and we really enjoyed our meals and desserts. Sensible portions, great quality and value for money. Well done and thank you very much indeed! Dave, Jayne and Sandra, cheers!

I love The Lamb. The staff are the friendliest and most helpful people. Always a pleasure to visit. Thank you

The Lamb is perfect, whether you come with family or friends, food is lovely and staff is amazing

Had a brilliant lunch here, service was quick food was hot and it was a proper pub lunch with plenty on the plate. Pub doesn't look that big from the road view but was surprised how large it was inside with plenty of tables, has an outside covered seating area and a play area for children Very friendly and helpful staff Loved the quips on the timber beams One of Wantage's best-ALFRED the GREAT Would be proud !

The artist's plaque on the side of the building identifies the Lamb as once belonging to Morland's Brewery. More recently it has been owned by Fullers but it now operates as a free house. On the bar, inevitably, is London Pride alongside a couple of well selected mainly local ales - at the time of our visit were offerings from White Horse and Ramsbury. The pub claims to be the second oldest building in the town, after the church, and the only thatched building but despite this and the exposed wooden beams and stone floors, the place lacks the atmosphere of a traditional pub. Several gaming machines don't help either. There is an extensive menu which is reasonably priced and has something for everyone, although you won't find anything to really get excited about. Service is good an staff are friendly and welcoming. Overall there is little to really to pick fault with but somehow this pub just lacks the wow factor. Borderline between 3 and 4 stars, but I have rounded up on the strength of range of ales available.

Great service - average food that is a little bit pricey (for lunch). Good range of drinks. Dog friendly.

Great randlge of foos and drink, tasty food friendly polite staff

Great Food, Great atmosphere… very friendly staff, highly recommended to go with friends or family

Food is hit or miss, some nice tables and some crowded ones in a much darker space. Overall not great but not bad.

Dog friendly , nice food and chilled atmosphere

Well, a very nice place inside, very old with a very English pub decoration. Senior atmosphere, those of the people, come on. Occasional live music. Ideal for having a pint in a good atmosphere. I went there recommended, it was worth it.

The meal said chicken breast but it was chicken strips. The vegetables were not really cooked. The cheese had not melted. We have been here a few times before and had lovely meals perhaps it's a different chef.

Good food, nice atmosphere, pleasant staff.

Chicken Kiev over done baby potatoes under done but the pub and beer nice

Nice friendly pub, will visit again

Nice ambience, nice staff, nice food.

Our favorite place for family reunion dinners

Had my mum's birthday today at the lamb inn. Staff food absolutely brilliant. Thanks very much. Andrew.

Nice food good size portions good value for money

Fantastic food and staff, very welcoming

Clean, welcoming, efficient service of food and drink. Bit random music and seating! I enjoyed the decor and cosy feel

Standard pub grub. Friendly staff, traditional pub environment.

Great pub, good food, garden, and lovely atmosphere. Great to take kids to 😊

Good food and beer and staff very freindly

Very nice pub with good food. Service was good too. Could with the heating turning up a little!

Serves good pub grub from main menu and daily specials board, also special deals. Look out for Tom’s spicy Korean burger on the specials board.if they haven’t got exactly what you want ask and they will do it for you if they can.

Lovely pub in Wantage. We enjoyed a varied menu, good pub grub and excellent service.

Great food & service in a friendly atmosphere 😊

Lovely lunch. Very friendly, efficient staff. Huge portions of food. I enjoyed the crispy vegetables, salad & chips & my lunch companion had a portion of scampi, chips & peas. Only improvement would be a choice of normal or smaller portion for those with less appetite to reduce waste of food.

Warm friendly pub. Tasty steak mushroom and ale pie and a half chicken roast that hit the right spot for this guy and gal! Returning for the jazz evening on 30th Nov....and perhaps a Korean burger...👏

Absolutely fabulous food and service.

Excellent food and service and friendly staff. There were cosy fires burning and the music was not intrusive. Excellent pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere

We came here after a family funeral and they honestly did a fantastic job - we appreciated it even more as (unbeknown to us at the time) 6 weeks later we would be at another family funeral but the place we chose for the food after for that visit wasn't a patch on this place. They were so warm and accommodating - we honestly couldn't fault. They catered for alergies well and tea and coffee was included in the package. There was a great selection of food which tasted great - I ate that much that I didn't actually eat for the rest of the day! Thankyou for giving us a great place to share stories of our loved one :-)

Friendly staff. Menu simple and food nicely cooked. Typical English pub

Very warm and friendly lamb shanks were superb, looking forward to coming back soon

A great place to drink and dine especially with all the offers that they have been offering in recently months. Burger Meal or Curry and any pint for £10 and now the two 8oz steaks with a bottle of wine for £28. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and there's also a good selection of lagers.

This is an extremely friendly local Free House and offers an extensive range of excellent pub food at exceptional prices. My wife and I opted for the Rib-Eye Steak deal. Two substantial Steaks with Fries, & mushrooms etc plus a bottle of wine all for £28.00. The steaks were cooked beautifully and melted in the mouth; the service was quick efficient. The pub itself is situated very close to the town centre, has ample parking and although a bit quirky, a mix of old and new it's well worth a visit

The only pub in Wantage where the food and drink has been consistently good over the years. The team are amazing and everytime we come we always feel welcome, just one of the reasons we made this our local. We're moving away and I can honestly say the only thing I'll miss about Wantage is this pub and its staff. Reasonably priced food and drink and a rotating selection of ales if you fancy trying something a bit different. Nice to see an inclusion of locally produced beers on the rotation as well. Very big garden and play equipment for the kids makes it perfect for a family meal.

The oldest pub in wantage and the second oldest building In The town, a good full bar and fantastic selection of spirits. Massive car park and decent sized garden with kids play equipment, decent quality food very fitting the prices paid. Lots of table space inside and out. Child friendly for sure. Locals keep them selves to them selves but Friday nights can be very loud. In all a fantastic classic pub, the beer is fantastic and the atmosphere is welcoming

Great food awesome company lovely staff

Burger and a pint for a tenner! Absolute bargain. Really friendly pub, great service and a truly charming, thatched pub full of character. Highly recommend.

Loved my visit dog friendly food and drink was great.

Always good food and friendly staff

Nice pub, friendly staff and good service. The food was about average though and the price was quite high. Would definitely try again though.

Great, well priced Sunday lunch. Good low alcohol beer. Great service. No need to book.

Very cosy and friendly staff. Plenty of wooden beams everywhere, well it is 17th Century! There is a very good menu together with a 'Today Specials'. We had the seafood platter and salmon fillet all with potatoes, it was bostinly tasty and hot. We were left alone, no one pestering us! Well worth a visit for Bostin pub food.

Wonderful experience and lovely food. Great service from the hostess 😀

Beer Is good food isn't good enough tbh didn't enjoy any of what I ordered

Nice food Best place avaikable we could find in Wantage

Excellent pub food. Highly recommended!

We phoned at the last minute and they were very accommodating. It's great to visit an independent who can offer a good selection at a reasonable price. Thank you

Stopped for a quick pint. I enjoyed it.

A great pub . Food is always good. And a good family atmosphere. We go there weekly for a meal.

Lovely food, good choice of drinks, excellent homely & historic settings and friendly staff

Pub that let's you bring your dog in always gets my vote. Decent selection of drinks...not tried food yet. Very friendly and welcoming.

Disgusting meal and awful, unprofessional service. Management completely uninterested and staff training is clearly non existent. Would not recommend.

Good food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend you pay a visit.
