Reviews The Lamb On The Strand

This is a lovely venue in the beautiful countryside of Wiltshire. We were warmly greeted by the staff, as we came in, and the great service carried on throughout the evening. We were seated at a slightly odd table in a corner, perfectly adequate, I just felt a bit in the way. Menus were handed out, although I'd looked online and set my heart on delights already, and we had a couple of drinks to get started. We went for a sharing arrangement for our starters and had the crispy pickled root veg, the bread and pistachio butter alongside the trout rillettes. The bread and butter were lovely, different combination that worked well. The pickled veg were nice, but some you needed your good teeth for whilst others were very soft. I'm told, as I'm not a fishy person, that the trout rillette was divine. Main course arrived and as usual I went for haddock and chips. I know this contradicts my previous paragraph but everything is better deep fried in batter! The Mr went for the spicy bean burger, which looked fabulous. A couple of niggles would be that the burger was very squishy for a bean burger, it kept trying to escape from the bun. I usually order fish and chips as it's a great way to compare how different chefs manage with batter. The chips were thick, chunky and crispy as anything. The tartare sauce was really good, as were the crushed peas - sounds daft but they tasted of peas, not making them like other places where they add god knows what to them! My niggle was that halfway through the fish - which was beautifully cooked and moist - the batter went a bit stodgy and lost its crispiness. It's a small thing, not really worth mentioning on the night as everything else was top notch. Dessert arrived, as it always seems too... I had the pumpkin spiced set custard which was a delight to look at, as well as eat. The custard was smooth and not over spiced, and it came with filo shards and the lightest meringue I've ever eaten. The Mr had the cheescake which was a concoction of blond chocolate and mascarpone. It also comes with Horlicks ice cream - which I tried and can safely say it was yummy. It wasn't a cheap night out, but overall it was worth the money. Next time I'd like to sit by the fire in the little dining room, not in a hallway. Please take yourself there and enjoy.

It was lovely, and I’m fussy, best Sunday roast ever, by a country mile. The only observation I would make is it was a cold day and we had a drink in the bar as we were early, which could be a lovely welcoming area but the fire wasn’t lit. Fix that and it would have been 5 stars across the board. Definitely going back.

This was the first time we had visited and it won't be the last. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The service was discreet and our welcome very warm and the place was decorated with antique artefacts and furniture. A really good place to go for a relaxing meal. There is also a lovely beer garden and dogs are welcome

Without a doubt our FAVOURITE local pub, whether it is a outstandingly delicious meal or just a calm, casual drink, we cannot fault The Lamb on The Strand and the new management it is now under! Such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, fantastic service and an all round brilliant experience. The food truly is exceptional, and for someone who has so many dietary allergies, I have never once been made to feel like I am a pain, or be massively limited in my options, which is a hugely rare occurrence for me, so I honestly cannot thank them enough! If you haven’t yet visited, I strongly recommend you do, you will not be disappointed!!!!

We stayed in one of the cottages. It was beautiful, comfortable, clean and had a lovely view. We really enjoyed our time here. There was parking available and Internet, although the speeds were very slow due to being out in the countryside.

It was lovely to have returned to the lamb after so many years. The pub was fresh and homely, and the staff were very acomadating. The food was well presented, and the portions were adequate. You don't feel that you didn't have enough. We will be returning again.

This is a GREAT pub and restaurant, just what this part of Wiltshire needs. Been here twice for dinner now - genuinely delicious food, just on the right side of unpretentious and unfussy, great local ingredients and lovely staff.

Very good food and good staff, highly recommend anyone to come here. Great to see it open again after many years. Best pint of Guinness I’ve had.

Amazing food! Absolutely divine. Best food I've had since going to a 2 Michelin star restaurant a few years ago. Amazing tastes perfect portion sizes excellent quality food. Can't wait to go again and try out some other dishes!
