    This was when I discovered what Yorkshire pudding really is!
    Nate H.

    We decided to come here for Sunday roast since it was so close to where we were staying in Marylebone. This was my first time in London, so I was totally new as to the process of ordering / dining in / how pubs work in general. I wandered in off the street and sat down at the table like a lost dog, waiting for the waitstaff. Note - this is not how things are done in the UK, but a sure fire way to look like a tourist, if that's what you're going for. After figuring out that you order everything at the bar, I elected for the beef roast and the Green King IPA. This beer could definitely use some work. Almost no flavor to it, and it felt very flat, almost like a Guiness. I don't think that IPAs are their specialties, but I definitely was getting a different beer from that point on. The beef roast was delivered to our table pretty quickly, and came with a plethora of other sides. This was a hearty meal, just like momma would have made, complete with potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, and veggies. Of course, no other British meal is complete unless it is covered in gravy. They did a great job cooking the roast, but I think the potatoes could have really used some extra loving. The consistency just wasn't right at all, and I couldn't tell if they were going for more of a roasted or boiled feel. My mouth is still confused from biting into those strange spuds. I didn't know this going in, but this is a part of the Green King Brewery chain of pubs which have EXACTLY the same menu all across London. I came into many of these pubs that all have different names expecting something different, and was surprised to find that they are carbon copies in terms of things that they serve. I ended up eating at a few of these over my stay, and they were all pretty good. I just feel that it should be known that these are sort of like the London version of 99 in the US. Consistent, but no twang.

    Tasty!

    Sneak down an alley off of Oxford Street and enter St. Christopher's Place. It's a pleasant shopping area including an outside court and plenty of people watching. My advice, before coming in here, is to repeat three times... "I love potatoes" Then, when greeted by a bewildering selection of chips, mash, jacket, etc... You can't go wrong! After all, remember, you love potatoes!

    AVOID THIS HORRIBLE PLACE BY ALL MEANS!! 1. Their food is hoooooorible. We had their "famous" fish and chips. The fish was bland to an extreme (I don't even think it is cod as they claim) as it must have been frozen cod or whatever the lump it was. The batter was hard as a rock. I had many fish and chips but this was most impressively disastrous. 2. The service was also terrible. We asked for water and without clarifying, he just brought a bottled water that is 2.40 pounds and opened it without asking. 3. The price was sooo expensive for how crappy everything was. It already included service charge but on the card machine, it asks for a tip again. HOW DECEITFUL!!!

    It's yo average pub. We've never had an issue with the wait staff and we've had one waitress multiple times who has been a sweet little peach! Seriously We've only dined here once but I was pretty impressed with what we got. Great location as well.

    There are some really good pubs around this way. Just walk two of three streets down, go around the corner, places like the Pontefract Castle - much nicer. Not that The Lamb is terrible, it's not but I don't really see great arguments for bothering with this one. Sure, it's in quite a good location, if you have been on Oxford Street shopping or in Selfridges wishing you were shopping. There is a pretty comprehensive food menu here, pie, fish and chips plus quite a few thoughtful sort of snack type offerings available for the more unconventionally timed hunger pangs. Also quite bizarrely, low fat frozen yogurt is a desert option. The crowd are pretty mixed so I guess they are catering for everything but they just don't seem to have got much an edge in a fiercely competitive local area.

    I love this charming little place. It is in such a perfect location right next to Oxford Street and Bond Street Station. It is located in St. Christopher's place and there are lots of restaurants nearby, but if you just want a pint, then this place is perfect. It always has a lively after-work crowd and people like to mingle outside in the courtyard. In the summer bands sometimes play out there. It gets a good mix of people so it is a little more fun than just your average pub.

    Not to be confused with The Lamb & Flag in Covent Garden. This is an adequate pub for food, drink, service, and ambiance.

Remarkable, he scored and I literally walked around the corner and saw the long line to get into the pub first. I was seated immediately, however, and proceeded to enjoy a traditional Sunday Roast. Room was very pleasant (there are so many I got lost returning to my table from a bio brake. Roast was very good ( but no Lawry's) and the sides excellent. Could not decide if my favorite was the roast potatoes (crispy outside soft inside) or the glazed carrots. Yorkshire pudding was good but again, I am to used to the Lawry's and this is a different style. Peas were, well, peas, but very fresh. The sticky toffee cake was excellent and the Guinness fresh, creamy and a proper pour. Good thing because the selection of winners by the glass and half bottles of wine were both a little thin. Overall wine list was good but I was alone and not up for drinking a full bottle by myself. Overall, very enjoyable and to judge by the crowd and difficulty in getting a reservation, one of the more popular in town.

The history alone makes it worth visiting, and the location is perfect if you're exploring the area. It feels very classic London in the best way. We stopped in for a pint and honestly... the whole after-work beer culture over there is something I really need to bring back with me to the States. The beer was great, the atmosphere was lively without feeling overwhelming, and it just felt like one of those places where people naturally gather and stay awhile. Definitely worth stopping into if you're in the area.

Two story space - the ground floor feature the bar and handles walk in lunch; the upstairs is a dining room for those with reservations. Fun fact, as part of the history, the pub used to be the host of bare knuckle fights and had regulars like Charles Dickens. Wildfarmed sourdough - served with whipped salted butter and Guinness butter. Well toasted bread and the butters with salt were well made. Fuller's London Pride marinated steak and ale pie - served with seasonal veggies and red wine gravy, as well as either mash potatoes or triple cooked chips. If there is one dish London does really well, it's their pies. It was beautifully made and loaded with steak. The red wine gravy was decadent and added a perfect amount of moisture to the pie. Triple cooked chips were perfectly crispy but fluffy on the inside. Corn fed chicken breast - served with garlic and sage butter, mash potato, cavolo nero, and crispy onions. Only took a bite of this as it was my partner's dish but the bite of chicken I had was very juicy and well seasoned.
