Staying nearby for a wedding, we visited on a Friday night and were seated straight away despite not having booked and the pub being busy. Cannot fault the service, all staff members were super helpful and attentive throughout the evening. We had the duck and a burger, both of which were good, and the triple-cooked chips were exceptional! Blackberry Bakewell tart was also delicious for dessert. Would absolutely visit again if in the area.

Had a lovely dinner in the garden with my wife, seems everything here is home made! From bread to noodles to ice creams, a real fresh food kitchen! Absolutely delicious, we had the the cod curry and duck breast and i am still quacking about it now! Followed by a rocky road fondant, home made marshmellows! Truly a gem, cannot wait to return, nice olive trees.

Visiting this lovely establishment on a whim with my partner. We arrived early and decided to have a drink in the bar. Very prompt service! After our drink we were escorted to our table and proceeded to order. We had the arancini and beans on toast to start. Where do I begin? I should imagine they have managed to obtain the Heinz recipe because it was simply incredible. So flavoursome and a beautiful amount of smokiness. Now for the main event, we had the pork belly & scallops and the penang cod curry and OMG what an amazing couple of dishes they were! Scallops were incredible! The house made noodles were to die for! I am simply in awe with this establishment. What a transformation this public house has had. Thank you to the Kitchen team and Dean for a wonderful evening, I cannot wait to dine again ?

Googled pubs for food as we were in the area and i'm glad we chose this pub, we had a salted beef wrap and fries and prawn and crayfish with cocktail sauce wrap and fries (we could have had salad instead of fries) and the wraps were fully loaded with the filling, I had a pint of real ale which went down a treat. The staff were great (very polite and helpful) , I will visit this pub again the next time i'm in the area or even for a change from eating in my local area, worth a visit, my opinion 5*

Exemplary food and service. I very much dislike being forced by the app to write a minimum number of characters in my review.

Would never go there again. Chips were undercooked chilli sauce was watered .down. Very expensive for what it was. At 9pm staff started to pull down the blinds and move tables around as if they were trying to tell us to leave.

Boohoo! Still charged $20 for lasagna dinner that was returned. Skip the appetizers, and dinner menu. Fish and chips are the meal they?re best at making.

Not your average gastro pub. *This* is how it's supposed to be done. Of course the food was excellent (bacon jam chicken wings...delish), but it's the attention to detail, the extra level of service, which makes the experience. Little touches like making sure the champagne cocktail was spot on. The staff there really know their stuff. Someone is putting the effort in to make sure they all know their job well. This in turn brings confidence and friendliness and just makes it the top notch experience it is. Shared the Lion and Lamb steak board for two - again, well cooked, well seasoned, well rested and well appreciated. Cheese board was just the right amount of cheese biccies and chutney, and the port that went with it, perfect. Not our first time dining there and it won't be our last. Well done the team at The Lion & Lamb. PS - you should update your Trip Advicor profile, the pics are way out of date. Everyone else reading this, check the website, it's had a total refurb and is way slicker looking now.

Dreadful service had to ask twice for cutlery whilst food was on the table. Medium steak ordered which was raw inside. Sent back to the kitchen. Came back reheated ( microwave?) still raw in the middle.. not pink but raw! Assistant manager refused to take it off the bill said it was standard to back the chef! Totally unprofessional approach to the complaint which left us with no choice but to withdraw the service charge. Still had to pay for an inedible meal. Never going to return not even for a drink which is a shame as it?s very local.

Walked here early evening as we live locally. Starters were good but we had to ask for cutlery. Had to ask again for cutlery when the main course arrived. Meant meals were getting cold rapidly which was not ideal. Two of us ordered ribeye cooked medium. They were far from medium and in fact were basically raw. Made a mistake by sending mine back to be done again as it came back really tough and inedible. Left nearly all of it. Discussed with the Asst. Manager who refused to accept anything was wrong with the steak. Started by explaining to us how sirloin cooks even though it was ribeye. He refused to compromise at all or accept our views and walked of muttering to himself. We refused to pay the service charge and left very unhappy. The owners run a decent pub in Fyfield but they won?t have much of a pub left in little Canfield unless they sort out the food and attitude of their Asst manager. Perhaps he is under orders to not accept any customer issues.? Who knows. It was clear he was being totally unprofessional and couldnt give a damn as to what we thought.

Absolutly awful, portions pathetic for average food and over priced , steer clear --- why do some pubs still think that they can treat clients so bad?

Fantastic outside space with amazing view. Also love the huge fireplace inside. Been twice times now and food was great both time. Sunday lunch, and mid week lunch

this place has gone so far downhill - ordered 3 bar vibes, chicken wings, chunky chips and seasoned chips - not cheap - food turned up with no side plates for the 3 off us nor any serviettes or napkins - really poor service. Also am i wrong - ordered a lager in a pint glass with the crown mark and slash of lime - charged 80p for the lime but obviously took lager way from the legacy shown pint glass - is this legal - also 80p - what a total rip-off - will NEVER go again to this place and was an often usr !!!!
