The Slaughtered Lamb in Islington - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very friendly staff, but disappointed with food which was ok but not great and very expensive for what we got. Had the Meat Sharing Board for £33 and there really wasn't enough even for two to share. Once we added a pint of beer, a pint of diet coke, and a service charge there was very little change out of £50 which left a bitter taste in the mouth for what was supposed to be a nice pre-gig treat. I'll stick to just the gig in future which was brilliant with two tickets costing me half what it did for the pre-gig food & drink!

I went with my work colleagues to have dinner here and it was great - really lovely food and great atmosphere. There was a good choice on the menu and great wine

Really good food, fabulous service from very happy people working there and overall a fantastic and happy atmosphere; the beer was great too!!

Dinner and the excellent Amelia Coburn for dessert. The staff were lovely, even though they couldn't find our booking. The food was excellent and the gig afterwards was well worth the trip across town. A most enjoyable evening.

Good food and service. There was a range of food on the menu. Very affordable. We had an enjoyable evening. We would go back again.

So very glad I chose The Slaughtered Lamb for after conference drinks and dinner. Both the food and the drink was good, but the staff were exceptional. The bar staff were really pleasant and extremely efficient and the waitress/host Charlotte (I really hope I remembered that name correctly) was something else. We were so well looked after and didn't even have to ask for another drink before it was offered. Just brilliant. Well done Charlotte and the team.

Visité el domingo para ver a Ryan Hamilton tocar aquí, inmediatamente me cautivó la decoración y el ambiente únicos de este hermoso lugar. Tiene un ambiente de bienvenida y un ambiente muy relajado. Las cervezas tenían un precio promedio para Londres, una gama decente de cervezas artesanales me convenía. El menú se veía bien y tenían una amplia gama de otras bebidas también.El lugar de la música era íntimo y memorable, el sonido era perfecto para una noche de música acústica.La mejor parte fue la encantadora dama francesa que servía detrás de la barra. Ella fue muy acogedora, amable y atractiva. Un verdadero activo para el pub, y cabeza y hombros por encima de cualquier servicio que generalmente recibo en bares. Es muy recomendable este lugar. Definitivamente regresaré pronto también. Transmita mis saludos a su encantadora dama también. Una verdadera joya

Fabulous pub with good welcoming staff. The basement bar where we saw the gig was excellent and all 4 acts were superb. A snip for £8!!

The pub part is on the ground floor. Crowded, even on a Monday night. Had fish (haddock I think) and chips which was tasty and satisfying. The room is quite dark, so not great for reading while you eat! Actually came for a gig, to see the wonderful Chris Cacavas. That's downstairs. It opened at 7:00pm , and I was pleased to find that there was some seating, so grabbed a comfortable space with a good view. I'll add the Slaughtered Lamb to my list of great places to see a gig in London. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonable prices and good food. Well done!

Siendo estadounidense y una de mis películas favoritas es An American Werewolf en Londres, tuve que comer en un pub llamado The Slaughtered Lamb. Monté la línea Circle específicamente para comer aquí. Tuve el pescado y patatas fritas y las patatas fritas de cangrejo. El pescado y patatas fritas eran geniales. Sin embargo, la verdadera estrella aquí fueron los Cangrejo Frito. ¡Ellos fueron increíbles! No hace falta decir que solo en el Fish, no tenía las patatas fritas porque tenía estas increíbles papas fritas de cangrejo.

Fui a ver a un músico en el lugar de música del sótano. Llegué temprano para comer algo. Las hamburguesas con queso eran muy sabrosas y la comida era abundante. Me encantó la decoración de estilo victoriano / steampunk.Abajo pudimos conseguir un asiento justo en frente del escenario y el sonido y la experiencia de estar tan cerca del músico es increíble.No es especialmente amigable para las sillas de ruedas, aunque el personal ayudará de cualquier manera que pueda. Hay un umbral en el bar, un baño para discapacitados en el nivel del suelo, pero los otros baños y el lugar estaban abajo.

Mi esposa y yo visitamos The Slaughtered Lamb durante nuestra primera visita a Londres y descubrimos que era un pub agradable. Nos quedamos en el área de Spitalfields de Londres, pero fue el nombre lo que nos llamó la atención. Ambos hemos jugado World of Warcraft, y para los primeros jugadores, The Slaughtered Lamb fue la taberna en Stormwind en la que los brujos humanos y gnomos se entrenaron y recibieron misiones.La selección de bebidas fue muy buena, tanto para cervezas como para licores. Y a un precio muy razonable. Las opciones de comida eran algo más limitadas, y más en la línea de los tipos de cosas de aperitivo / mordisco / plato pequeño. Optamos por la opción de tres controles deslizantes y seleccionamos uno de cada tipo. Los encontramos muy buenos. Las patatas fritas de cangrejo eran increíbles. Pero lo que tuvimos fue sabroso y bien preparado. El personal fue atento y proporcionó un muy buen servicio.Llegamos a media tarde un domingo, y estaba muy tranquilo. Disfrutamos nuestra visita y pensamos que si realmente viviéramos en el área, sería un pub que frecuentaríamos bastante.

Este lugar era espacioso y estaba amueblado de forma sencilla. El menú de comida se crea de manera extraña y se basa en hamburguesas simples y una variedad de otros platos, como los controles deslizantes. Mi hamburguesa con queso era sabrosa pero el bollo de pan no genial. y mi sidra bien. No es tan barato. El personal está en apuros para hacer frente a nuestro grupo de 25

A real treat to visit this lovely Pub & listen to the incredible Croshaw family in the basement room. Friendly staff, good beer & good location.

Este es mi lugar para ir al local después de trabajar para tomar una copa o almorzar con colegas. Me encanta cómo se posiciona el bar en el centro y las mesas están salpicadas de un ambiente peculiar y agradable. Puede estar muy ocupado a la hora del almuerzo, así que venga temprano si está buscando algo de comida.

Estuvimos aquí por accidente, ya que la banda que habíamos reservado para ver se mudó aquí, ya que el lugar original tenía que cerrarse para poder realizar el trabajo. Qué lugar tan fabuloso es este, nos sentamos en el bar por un rato, muy ocupados hasta que nos permitieron entrar al bar y el lugar de la bodega, era muy agradable y cómodo, las bebidas eran buenas, no tenía que hacer cola, excelente personal. La banda fue fantástica al igual que la multitud, definitivamente volvería a visitarla. Precioso edificio antiguo en una bonita zona.

Busy and very popular real ale pub restaurant with cellar bar for bands. Had excellent range of beers, lagers etc. in the pub itself on my visit. They do seem to like to watch the pennies by giving short pints, so don’t be surprised if you need to ask for a top up. Downstairs bar offers severely reduced choice but still OK and you can always pop back upstairs. Band area is smallish and has low ceiling hence getting sound right can be a challenge, can also feel quite claustrophobic but overall a good option if not too crowded.

Arrived here on recommendation of good country music and it was, she was a good singer but, the sound was far to loud for her voice at times. Nice area down stairs though a very intermit warm space for £7 entry.

we were there in the aftrnoon. the pub was almost empty. we orders wings, that were served in a minute and tasted very delicious! burgers are also very good.

Delicious food and great drinks and great prices too.

Reservamos una mesa para 23 colegas en un viaje de trabajo en equipo en Londres. Eran muy flexibles: podíamos elegir lo que quisiéramos del menú y no tuvimos que esperar mucho tiempo para nuestros pedidos. (Nota: llegamos a las 12: 00, que parecía bastante temprano ya que más y más personas llegaron después de las 13: 00). Todos estaban contentos con la comida. Pedí una hamburguesa vegetariana de queso que era muy sabrosa, incluso el "queso fundido", que no es fácil de encontrar. Los camareros eran amables y su humor era muy apreciado. Así que tuvimos una experiencia muy agradable!

Para este concierto tan esperado, llegué temprano en la calle lateral de Clerkenwell donde reside el Cordero sacrificado. Las aceras fuera ya estaban atestadas de ansiosos bebedores jóvenes. A medida que se acercaba el momento del concierto, sus números aumentaron. En el interior, en realidad había menos personas, por lo que llego a la conclusión de que este tipo de bebedor preferiría pararse en la acera, hablando en voz alta, que sentarse dentro de un pub. A pesar de los comentarios en revisiones anteriores sobre la comida que se servía en el Cordero sacrificado, no vi que se comieran, ni adentro ni afuera.

After eating at a number of pubs throughout England the Slaughtered lamb had the best fish and chips. The service was great. Abit of the beaten track but worth the effort..

Good old Slaughtered Lamb aka Slam - always good for a drink after work especially in Summer when the sun shines down Great Sutton Street. Quite busy at times but they have good staff so they know how to handle it. Definitely worth a visit!

He estado visitando este pub durante mis visitas a Londres por muchos años. Al estar justo al lado de la calle. John Street en Clerkenwell, se coloca en un fácil acceso a un montón de tiendas, bares y restaurantes. El ambiente va desde relajado donde la gente viene a charlar y hacer trabajos de un pic después de trabajo y un lugar de abajo para espectáculos.

The upstairs area of the slaughtered Lamb is a very pleasant, light & airy pub with a decent amount of tables and TV's scattered around (great for watching the football on). The staff were friendly and the sides of food we had were pretty tasty. The only small let down is the selection of drinks, unless you like various ales or are in the mood to drink spirits, there really isn't all that much choice.

We had beers upstairs while a gig was happening downstairs.

Mi esposo y yo visitamos para ver la tan esperada Patrick James concierto. Teníamos intención de comer allí antes de la música, pero me decepcionó, ya que el bar principal estaba abarrotada. Había algunos asientos y aunque llegamos de lo que pensábamos era temprano a las 5:30 pm no pudimos llegar a la barra para la gente y no había esperanza de conseguir asientos para comida. Un gran bar para los jóvenes que quieren una bebida después del trabajo en la ciudad, pero no fue pensada para aquellos que habían viajado por el tocatas poner. Ahora para el espectáculo en el sótano. . . . Totalmente lo contrario. Una gran zona de asientos y con poco espacio para el espectáculo permanente que se ponen. Un montón grande bar suficiente para la cantidad de gente a la que atendía. La zona era íntimo para un concierto personalizado y sin duda alguna volveremos otra vez. Patrick James fue tan increíble como esperábamos.

You know when a place is very good as it shines out through in the positive attitude of the staff.Nothing was too much trouble from being attentive at table (I had not even sat down but was just scanning the slightly limited menu) to bringing my drink over to me but also quick and efficient service.

plus hadn’t even realised for the longest time that there was an excellent venue downstairs. Ended up booked the place for my birthday and it was awesome. The venue is great, good location and friendly staff. Whole experience was really good, now a regular place to swing by when i’m in London!

We went for a working lunch and it was a great venue for that as enough privacy at the tables to be able to talk freely and it was fairly quiet. The staff were very friendly and even offered to bring more drinks to the table without us having to go to the bar. A fairly limited menu but what they served was good and just what you needed. Look forward to seeing it more lively as per the reviews.

Vinimos aquí a las 7:00 p.m., así que fue después de la inicial quietening rush trabajo post, aunque todavía estaba muy ocupado. Había mucho espacio, así que nos las arreglamos para encontrar asientos. Hay una buena selección de cervezas (Camden) y algunos pubs clásicos en el menú. El bocadillo de palitos de pescado es, sin duda, merece la pena ir.

Un gran pub, para tomar bebidas por la noche, o después de trabajar, no estoy tan seguro de identificación como para estar en lo más tarde como se pone tan concurrida. El personal era bueno y hablador, pero no tan bueno para ver quién es la próxima persona que te sirvan. En el bar. Mi hija, que es solo una pequeña chica tranquila, esperamos algún día ser servido hasta que nos levantamos y nos de servir no tan bueno.

Una experiencia decepcionante. Algunos amigos visitar Londres desde Nueva Zelanda (no había visto estos chicos por unos 3 años) y yo fuimos allí porque el lugar de enfrente (increíble lugar y personal) estaba cerrando.

Vinimos a ver Ethan Gruska, un nuevo cantante/American youngish sola. Lindsay Lohan El pub está en una calle lateral y era bastante completo y muy ruidoso. El personal era amable y servicial, y disfrutamos de una agradable comida bien preparada y bebida antes de Ethan Gruska. Él era excelente tocar la guitarra, piano y cantando sus canciones emocional. Elliott Smith/Paul muy Simon - gran Slowmotionary nuevo CD.

Estuvimos de acuerdo en conocer nuestras dos hijas aquí bebidas antes de un concierto en el cercano Barbican. Este es un amplio, abierto, con muebles boozer bastante sencillo, dirigido a la multitud de diseñadores jóvenes que trabajan en oficinas cercanas y talleres de las industrias creativas. Estaba lleno de bebedores felices disfrutando de tragos después del trabajo, pero también ofrece un menú de comida. Un poco ruidoso para nuestro gusto, pero sin embargo muy divertido viejito.

Really enjoy this place. Friendly staff and some nice beers - regularly changed - and some really good food choices. Highly recommended if you are in the area or work nearby - for a nice pub lunch in a good atmosphere.

Fuimos allí para una noche o dos jueves pinta. Tardó 30 minutos en servirnos. El personal del bar son lentos y no tienen sentido de cómo trabajar en un bar animado. No mirar a la encuesta el bar para ver quién estaba al lado. He trabajado detrás de un bar muchas veces, así que tengo una idea de algunas de las formas más eficientes de servir a clientes en lugares concurridos. Ellos necesitan claramente con ellos mismos. Nunca iré allí de nuevo.

Stopped by for a solo dinner. Very busy and loud, not necessarily a bad thing. It was about 8:30 or so and it looked like they were getting ready to move into lounge/party mode from dinner service. Fish & Chips were delicious and hit the spot!

Sometimes it's hard to find a place where you can hang out on the weekend with enough space and have a drink. This plays allows that! Saturday and Sunday are the quietest times which makes for a good hang.

Sampled the goats cheese and sweet potato salad between the two of us as we weren't that hungry....it was fabulous. The fish and chips on one of the neighbouring tables looked great too. Excellent range of beers and good wines by the glass.

Great venue! Great atmosphere. Service was good. All very friendly. Loved it! Food looked really nice but I'd already eaten

Elizabeth Hunter's gig on a weekday night. Seeing the pub half full on a weekday night is not so common but "The slaughtered lamb" is popular.Well, it's also terribly understaffed: at 19.15 there were 3 people (including the kind guy who seemed a manager) serving at least 40 clients; it took 10-15 minutes to order a pint. Frustrating, even more for a constantly busy venue. I can only imagine on a Saturday night.Moreover, you have to order food upstairs (the stage is in the basement) if you want to eat downstairs, even if they have a bar counter there!Sausages & mash were definitely quite good: gravy a bit limited but great taste. It took a while to be served but keep in mind the same 3 people are the ones to serve food to tables, still more reasonable than for drinks.Music: the event was ticketed so predictably a bit empty; sound was well balanced, one supporting act ridiculously poor (i.e., Catgod), others much better (i.e., Charlotte Enegren). In this case, pub showed its better side and delivered...

I go because it's literally next to my office. The food is very meh, in my opinion and the service is hit or miss.Once I have to wait 1 hour for curry fries with an empty bar, for example.There's better places around the area.

Staff are great - really friendly - helpful - attentive.Great selection of beers and a few different gins too.Lunch time menu has a good variety and the food is pretty good :-)Overall - worth a lunch time visit. Sometimes very busy - and a nice atmosphere.

Had a brilliant meal - Cheeseburger with Sweet Potato fries was top quality. Fish and chips equally good. Nice beer and a great way to pass a Sunday afternoon.

I've been to the Slaughtered Lamb a few times for beers, but today was the first time I went for food.The beer selection was great as it always was and the food was fantastic. We had the Whitebait, Scotch Egg, 3 Sliders and Chilli Cheese Fries to share amongst us and it was all great.

Plenty of tables and a lovely rustic atmosphere. Enjoyed their burger and it was enjoyable, if a bit messy.

Was quite quiet when we went, decent enough larger (Camden Hells), but ales were off "expecting a delivery tomorrow". Standard London prices. Pleasant decor and comfortable - decent music not too loud. Great looking little venue downstairs with pa and own bar.

Popped in a few times and it's much improved. The new manager Mike is great, good gigs, food and beer in a great location. It's lovely to sit on the benches outside mid afternoon watching the world go by, well recommended.

Tappa veloce per pranzo. Tipico e atipico pub in una zona molto trendy alla moda per l'arredamento. Birra inglese ... se vi piace. Io preferisco quelle belghe !Mangiato carne macinata con pure OK ... niente di eccezionale. Prezzo giusto. Simpatica la zona.

Was relatively quiet at 13:30, so no problem getting a table. I had the 3 sliders which were very good and the sweet potato fries. The fish finger sandwich was very popular with my group and the waitress was very polite and helpful. Would definitely go back. Downstairs had was closed but looked like an evening venue.

The only time we go here is when we are going to a gig downstairs, but that's only because its not our neighbourhood or anywhere near.The pub has certainly changed over the years and now has a great vibe, good food and a fairly decent range of beers. Trendy of course it is, but don't let that put you off!The food ranges from about £9.50-£11.50 and I have loved the fish finger sandwich, the burgers and the fish and chips. I think the food prices are spot-on.For the drinks it can be more mixed. They often don't have all the beers on that the pumps show (what is it with bar staff and turning the badge round these days?) - and the beer can be pricey. I am pleased there is finally a tiny trend starting towards pump pricing happening in pubs - but here you need to ask. My partner ordered a pint and it turned out to be £7 - the staff member really should have pointed that out before she poured it since it was way more that even their usually expensive prices - she did at least look sheepish, nevertheless a tasty pint and I would say what it was if I could remember!Downstairs the live music room is great. It is small and if you want a seat you need to be in the queue before the doors open. Otherwise its a long evening standing. It also gets unbelievably hot down there - and I have yet to go to a gig where the musicians haven't mentioned this. I think there may be air-con but its noisy so its not turned on (perhaps the pub could confirm?), even so - a terrific venue would turn into a brilliant one if that was sorted out. There is a bar downstairs as well but doesn't have the full range - no beers for instance, but easy to pop upstairs.When you walk up to the pub you could be forgiven in thinking it must be packed out but that's just because everyone is standing outside - lots of tables and seating inside, makes it a great place to visit.Highly recommend.PS: Once again this is neither Cheap Eats, quick serve or self-service - or Mid-range, casual, table service but I have selected the Mid range option. I would say the food prices are very good, the beer is expensive by comparison, its not table service, but otherwise it is mid-range 'style'. Hope this helps!

I stopped by here based on other reviews and while I did not make it in during the busy after work hours, it was a great pub with a good selection of traditional and newer beers. The staff was always friendly. I particularly liked the fact that it stays open later than some of the other nearby pubs so I can have that last pint of the day while sitting on the comfy couch and partaking in the wifi. I would definitely come back here again when I'm in the neighborhood.

I was part of a 25 people group that went to The Slaughtered Lamb for celebratory drinks after Clerkenwell Design Week. Despite it being very busy we were pleased to enjoy attentive service from the staff. This is a busy and bustling place which spills out onto the pavement on warm evenings. Though a touch tired, this place has lots of character and will definitely be frequented by us again.

Bit of a dive inside and always about 4 in at the bar - I might be missing something though, as this place is always rammed to capacity whenever I walk past/inevitably pop my head in for a drink with work colleagues. Not my favourite place but seemingly, might be the favourite of everyone else who works in Clerkenwell!Go if you like to drink in crowds in the sunshine - its certainly good for that :-)

I went for the first time with a group of six early evening on a Tuesday (so not exactly peak period). Service was pathetically bad. I was at the bar for 15 minutes - they seemed to struggle with pouring a pint of beer and there were only two people serving. When it came the beer was ok but nothing special and not cheap. It's a shame because it's a nice enough place. The music was at a level which meant you had to shout which didn't seem necessary at that stage of the night either.

Pro's - Two good ales available when I visited and a large selection of beers on keg and also bottled - always great to have some Hitachino Nest, also the weaker beers were well priced (for the area) at around £4.20 a pint not bad.Con's - We went on a Friday after work and the place is unbelievably loud - we had seats but were shouting in each other's faces by about 8pm. After an hour of our voices going hoarse we decided to leave. Not my kind of place sadly.However! If you want to go to a place to drink good beers in a loud and lively atmosphere I cannot recommend it enough! I may not have enjoyed it but if that is your kind of thing you certainly will.

Had a friend over visiting and arranged in advance to have a large group table here. Cool pub, very large so not too cramped. Music was good and the staff were generally nice. Good selection of whiskies I've never tried before.I didn't eat but I was told the food was very good. Fish finger sandwich seemed to be a favourite with our group

A big group of us had a great night here. Great selection of drinks at the usual prices and lots of seating. Staff were friendly and good recommendations on drinks

Before this past Friday I have been here a few other times, mostly on weekdays and the bartenders were so friendly, quick to serve, and overall really amazing! Which is why what happened on Friday night was really off-putting. Went with a large group after work and I wasn't impressed with their "Friday night Service."From my experience in the industry you put on your quickest and best bartenders on a busy night, like a Friday, to keep the drinks going out and customers happy. I saw none of that on Friday night. Watching them pour one drink, go to the till, enter it, then come back, take another order, make the drink, go to the till, and enter it again was painful and really time-consuming.Not only that, no one could add the drinks up in their head. I am not asking for super-skills here; I'm talking basic math. I watched as one bartender had to go to the till, to ring in three £4.50 beers and then come tell me the total. Is that where we're at? Yikes!Not to add insult to injury but the staff seemed really out of it, maybe it was a cocktail behind the bar, maybe they were tired, but there was no "pep to their step" and I felt like I was taking up THEIR time by coming to the bar to order.I might go again, but definitely not a Friday night.

Great selection of beers, fantastic atmosphere, the staff super cool and helpful, good crowd, excellent venue downstairs, what more do you want?

big place with a big bar but it needs to be as it can get very noisy and busy, especially Friday nights. great selection of craft beer, real ales and fine spirits especially whiskies, gin and rum. staff are great know their stuff if asking for recommendations. Food is also very good if peckish try the very good sliders which are a choice of 3 min-burgers.

Last night I played downstairs at the venue. I wanted to review the venue bexause it was really special. As a musician it's hard to find small venues that care about the music. The sound on stage was incredible the best I have witnessed at a venue that size and we where truly looked after with refreshments. The staff at the venue where superb. .Little gem of a venue

Came here for a lunch meeting and we were not disappointed. An old style pub done up for the modern age but with plenty of the original tiling and woodworking etc. It got very busy but we were one step ahead of the game and in before the crowds, food ordered, sat down and enjoying the drinks. Food was above par and got a thumbs up although not particularly exceptional. Would have liked a few more options to choose from to give it the fourth star. Took a deep breath and went back for a second round of drinks when the bar had got rammed but wasn't kept waiting long at all as the staff were on it. Will return, more regularly with a few more options on the menu.

I loved this place despite some of the bad reviews! Good food, it was busy but its London what do you expect. We'll be back!

Haven't got a lot to say about the Slaughtered Lamb as I never managed to get there, we booked an area online well in advance for a special birthday celebration and invited lots of people, then when we called a week before to check all was ok with the booking we were told the booking had been lost - and no effort at all was made to either apologise, or find a space for us. So we went somewhere else. Really inconvenient, had to change lots of people's plans at the last minute, and obviously it was tricky to find a booking for a large area in a pub in London on a Saturday night with a week's notice. Rubbish.

This place gets very busy at certain periods which is fine. The food is good and the beer isn't bad at all. However they have some of the rudest staff I have ever encountered. Went for lunch on a quiet Monday afternoon and the girl serving food was abrupt, short tempered and just plain rude! I can understand wait staff being stressed, it is not an easy job, but when it is quiet and there are two tables there is no need to slam food down on the table, tell people to hurry up when ordering and openly bad mouthing customers in ear shot.

The pub itself it's nice, seems an old warehouse and maybe it was. Food and service are very good and could be an option if you're around.

This pub has real potential, they have a really good selection of Ale.Unfortunately the service is painfully slow, it should not take 10 mins to get served with one person in front of you. The staff are continually chatting to each other, it appears they are here to socialise not work the ramp.If you are on a hurry give this place a miss

"Possibly the worst fries ever. Undercooked, badly peeled and cold - appaling"

This pub is near my work and I've been a couple of times for lunch. The food has always been good, fast service with a smile. Quite expensive at £10 for a burger and chips but that's average for the area and the potions are big. I can't say much about the drink but I know the guys at work go there all the time and like it. Give it a go

We hosted and attended an event in "the venue" downstairs. It is a cool room for sure.The pub upstairs was full the entire time and the whole ambiance was very cool. What more could you ask for...?

Large open plan style pub near Smithfield market. Tried the Pale Ale which was very enjoyable, and also had a few sliders which were good and seemed a fair price - £8 for 3. Overall a nice place for a lunch although clientele seemed to be very much a hipster bunch with most males sporting facial hair and a check shirt!

My partner and I visited the basement venue to go to a performance although the performance was incredible the venue itself was shockingly bad. We where told that the bar would open In the venue at 8 it did not bother opening at all!! The performer we had paid to see which was an acoustic set had to struggle against the upstairs barmen coming in throughout the performance and taking drink and classes upstairs opening the doors and clinking glasses throughout!! I attempted to get a drink from upstairs several times but the service was so bad I gave up! I would go to see Lisa Mitchell again however would never step foot inside the slaughtered lamb.

It's okay if you like places like this - bit dark, very noisy, music - hard to hear each other talk in the evenings. On a sunday thought it is quieter and more my sort of place. Bear in mind i'm not the hipster target market and like to be able to hear my friends!

Generally this seems like a nice pub (although it is trying to be a bit too 'cool for school'). The upstairs bar is well laid out and nicely decorated, the downstairs bar is a really good live music venue and hosts great band nights (including 'before the gold rush' which we were at).However, it is pretty expensive for both the beer and the food and the service varied widely in the few hours we were there. Firstly my partner and I ordered 2 main meals and were surprised to see immediately afterwards that both members of the kitchen staff walked out of the pub for a long cigarette break. 20 mins later friends of ours ordered 2 plates of sliders and whilst these arrived within 15 minutes, our food was no where to be seen. Unfortunately one friend then found that one of her sliders contained a rubber band and so duly complained, sent the rest of her food back and requested a refund. A barmaid with long blonde and lilac hair then came over to over her both a refund and more food but, as our friend didn't want anymore, she politely declined and asked again for the refund. The barmaid then stomped off angrily and came back to uncereminomiously dump the refund on the table without a further word. Giving it another 5 minutes (45 minutes after ordering), my partner then asked the (much politer) barman where our food was and, when he then stormed into the kitchen, it became apparent that that had been totally overlooked. It still took one further inquiry 10 minutes later before we actually got our food, but to be fair the barman brought it over with both profuse apologies and a full refund.The food itself I should say was very nice (1 fish and chips and one TSL burger) but unfortunately other people we knew who arrived later that evening also had a problem with severely delayed food so this wasn't a one off that night.Overall, go enjoy the live music (and order some food if you are not in a rush) but don't expect much beyond average pub service, if that.

Thought i would give it a number of visits before reviewing. First few visits excellent well kept ales and international craft beer offerings. Over time choice of Craft beers now very limited. I also had some very poorly kept ales. Prices are about average but the price of some bottled beers is verging on greedy. Service is polite and efficient even when busy. Usual gripe about excessively loud in yer face music which serves no real purpose. Have not tried food offering but overall this has a become a much less attractive option of late.

I was in The Slaughtered Lamb on Friday after work and was very disappointed with the larger on tap that was served. It was flat and after a few minutes looked like it had been poored and left on the table for hours, I couldn't drink it with the fear of being sick from it.I changed my drinks to Cider which was fine but ran out by 11pm.The food was good.The awful larger has put me off and I do not plan to return.

Nice pub, but noisey and expensive. A beer, glass of wine, and two plates of sliders was 30 pounds!!! Very loud.

Went here for lunch and they have something quite nice. They call it sliders. its small buns with different contents. its very affordable and you can try alot of dishes without emptying your purse og filling your stomach too much.

A buzz without being too busy, friendly service, great decor, out of the way, good food, candlelit - perfect for a romantic Saturday night pub meal.

The Slaughtered Lamb has an average proposal of beers and the atmosphere was pretty nice. The bar downstairs was pretty cool.Bathrooms were clean (for a Saturday night).

I was with a group of friends, we completed a treasure hunt of the Clerkenwell & Farringdon areas of London, and settle for the evening in the Slaughtered Lamb. There were plenty of easy chairs and settees. A selection of draught "real" ales, and an interesting menu of traditional British and other food were available. The benches and tables proved to be a great place to eat comfortably and to maintain conservation with friends. I first heard of the pub as a venue for "alternative" music artists such as "Lucy and the Caterpillar" and "Emma's imagination". The music is played in a basement which also has a bar.

The music system in the pub is so loud that most customers are standing outside because it is almost impossible to have a conversation inside the pub. The staff were uninterested in the issue, insisting that the 300 hundred people outside (as against 60 inside) was just because they wanted to smoke. Nonsense. One should not have to shout or be shouted at to chat to friends or order drinks. The noise in the pub was nothing to do with the 'live' music in the basement which was loud but not at all affecting the pub upstairs.

This is a nice enough pub which we went to following a dinner in Holborn. We sat outside but don't go expecting tables, you get a bench along the outside and you can't really chat to each other as you're sitting in a line...Anyway, not particularly good service, went on a saturday night around 9pm and only a couple of other groups in there, not much of an atmosphere so pretty average. Ok if you just want to grab a drink and have a chat, but not a 'night out' type of place.

Came here for drinks and ended up having a meal. Had mini burgers which were great value for money and sweet potato chips which I wouldn't recommend. Even on a Saturday night wasn't that busy although there was a club downstairs so from about 10pm onwards the chairs were vibrating. Food came quickly and provided tap water all night. Overall a very chilled night

cool old corner pub but with great vibe and simple "something and chips" menu. fish is the main staple and the fish finegr sandwich is the main ordering item. always busy, staff normally friendly if a little too cool to be really nice but generally a great discrete spot, busy and ideal to watch people.

Nice little backstreet pub in Clerkenwell. Drinks list pretty good. The best thing though is their fishfinger sandwich. Absolutely delicious!
