Twelve of us celebrated my birthday with dinner at the Lamb. The food is always great here, and this was no exception. The venison and lamb were particularly good and so tender. The atmosphere and service helped make it a really special evening, and I cannot thank the staff enough for the trouble they took. The menu is reasonably limited... More

This is now my favourite gastro pub ever !! I'm not sure exactly why I say this. The food is very talented and very tasty and just that bit unusual. The sunday roast is supremely good the weekday evening menu I think even better.The quirky atmosphere of genuine old pub and interesting looking people is augmented by easy happy and... More

We have visited The Lamb on numerous occasions, lunchtimes, evenings and Sunday lunch. The food is consistently good and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I have no hesitation in recommending a visit to this Pub at any time of the day. Very understated and worth the drive out from Exeter!!

An atmospheric pub with great food and great staff. Our room was lovely with a big comfy bed and pedestal bath. Dinner, breakfast and staff faultless. Two small problems, limited parking and tv had to be retuned every time it was switched on but no big deal, I would still highly recommend the lamb inn.

A very traditional pub, with roaring fire, small, cosy and the bar staff friendly and helpful. Atmophere wonderful, busy but not crowded, considering it was Easter weekend.. I agree with previous comments about the car parking, but once you are there and have sampled the food, it was well worth any journey and frustration. Well done Toby, an excellent chef... More

Great pub in a beautiful village. Stayed for one night on the way down to Cornwall. Really warm welcome from the owners and they very kindly upgraded us as a better room was available for that night. The room itself was lovely... Nice bath, massive bed, and slightly separated from the pub itself. Food in the evening was amazing... We... More

All the elements for a fantastic weekend are here! A lively and bustling pub with clear emphasis on high quality beer and food. A short but interesting and fairly- priced wine list complements the well-cooked and locally-sourced food. Imaginative cooking and friendly staff make this village pub a place to come back to again and again! Should have a thatched... More

On a wild and windy afternoon last week our first impression of The Lamb wasn't a good one - no designated parking space to offload luggage and having to park some way down the road (we were subsequently told there was extra parking at the village hall although unclear whether a space would have been available). After attempting to get... More
