Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Booked a table here for the first time for a midweek lunch with a friend en route to a conference, and was unsure whether it would deliver on the hype. From the moment we walked in, however, it was obvious that its reputation was deserved. The building and interior is delightful. All low ceilings and dense, glowing natural wood. The lighting they have used makes it feel warm and inviting, and we received a friendly welcome from the maitre d and one of the waiting staff. We went for the set price lunch menu, which was astoundingly good value at £27.50 for three courses. A grilled goats cheese salad was flawlessly executed and gave rich flavours and textures in just the right size portion. I had a main course of salmon and leek supreme, which was comfort food at its best. My friend had the Cajun chicken which she pronounced delicious. Neither of us wanted to plump for just one pudding, so we did halvesies - a hazelnut parfait and pear and almond pud. These were both gorgeous, the perfect end to the meal. All of the food was so very beautifully cooked, and achieved that amazing quality of being wholly satisfying and flavoursome whilst perfectly weighted (I can’t find another word) and portioned. The service was kind and friendly and unobtrusive - shimmering like Jeeves into view just when needed. So in summary, Lamb’s delivers on every score. It’s rare for me to say this about a restaurant, but I cannot think of any area at all in which the staff could look to improve. Five stars. Would recommend.

We had excellent, friendly service from all staff involved - from the moment we walked through the door until we left. Both of the ladies who served our food were very well-informed about the menu. Four of us ate and all four of us would rate the food as excellent. The only negative criticism is that the cheaper of the two Pinot Noir wines available was average. This is the second time that my wife and I have visited and we are glad that we invited our friends to join us this time A wonderful time was had by all!

We visited Lambs Restaurant in Stratford recently for my partners Birthday. This little gem of a restaurant is in a central location with lots of character. Our table was perfect on the upper floor in the window overlooking Sheep Street, the staff had even put a small wooden “Happy Birthday” sign on our table which was a nice touch. The meal was absolutely delicious, with plenty of choice on the menu. I had the Pork Chop and my partner had the Steak with Peppercorn Sauce and the homemade Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert – which was divine. It has a really relaxed and romantic ambience, the service was excellent and our waitress Andreea was so friendly and helpful. Outstanding in every way, would highly recommend and definitely visit again.

We are local to Stratford and eat out most weekends . We went to Lambs with some friends for the first time. It was a busy Saturday night and the service was slow and not attentive. Food was average. Our friend mentioned that it was our birthdays - which was true! But the waiter completely ignored the fact! It’s not the end of the world- we aren’t 10 but when you are paying £300 for dinner a gesture would have been nice. We won’t return. Much better restaurant next door

The Lamb on Sheep Street is a lovely venue with genuinely friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. We both had the 3 course set menu lunch which was very tasty, well presented and reasonably priced. Of note, the food was not only tasty but was served piping hot, as it should be. A nice experience to be repeated when next in Stratford.

I have dined at Lambs very many times and look forward to visiting. However on Saturday 4th January my husband and I visited and we were very disappointed red with the service and portion size of our mains. My husband had rack of lamb and I had the duck. Meat was delicious however the vegetables were very very very small portions. My duck was £26.75 and here is a photo of it. The green beans on the left is from my husbands main. My Rick came with some cabbage and 3 croquette potatoes. Very disappointing not to have some separate vegetables sides to accompany the main. My husband's was equally small. No photo but a small rack of lamb with a very small square of dauphoise potatoes. Barely half a potato size. That main was £29.50. Sooo one might think that it's not all about the food but also the service. The service was very mechanical. No care. When we left the female maitre d grimaced saying good bye to us. We will not return.

Having had a lovely Sunday lunch at Lambs before we had no qualms about booking it for our anniversary meal. However, after our experience today, we are regretting that decision and feel very let down. The food was good, don’t get me wrong, but having waited over 45 minutes for it with no communication we were frustrated and didn’t enjoy it as much as we should have. We’ve both worked in customer facing environments so appreciate that it’s tough, but being told “we’re busy today” when the food eventually came out just wasn’t good enough. There were plenty of members of staff around to appease disgruntled customers (we weren’t the only ones) and they chose not to. It just felt like every customer was an inconvenience, the communication and attentiveness was poor and so overall a very disappointing experience. In hindsight maybe we should’ve asked to speak to a manager but to be honest the time it took to even get the bill and pay for it we couldn’t face waiting even longer!

Really pleasant and good quality restaurant that is also convivial and unstuffy. A decent menu and wine list plus cocktails. You can sit outside or on either of the two dining floors, each of which is appropriately Elizabethan in feel. Plenty of atmosphere for our early pre-theatre supper. Service is attentive and also quite characterful, which we appreciated. The waiting staff appeared to be enjoying their jobs. Also, they were skilled at timing the service such that we enjoyed our meal either time enough to spare before the theatre began. It’s not especially cheap, but for us at least, it was a memorable occasion.

Evening meal with 6 colleagues. Service exceptional, paced to the table - which appears to be a rarity these days. Advise and guidance on food and drink when requested. Variety of options from each course taken across the table and every plate was of high quality, fair portions and piping hot. Left feeling that our custom was valued and to deliver service to such a standard that we would have no choice but to return if we are in the area again - which of course we will!

My sister and I have never been to Lambs before but our Auntie and Uncle who invited us to join them last night have been many a time before. Our experience from the get go was very positive, we were served throughout the night by one lovely Bulgarian lady in particular who was warm and chatty. Personally I was very impressed with the range of wines by the glass, in relation to the size of the wine list. The food was hearty and very tasty I had the crispy duck starter (refreshing and not too filling) breaded corn-fed chicken (also very nice but not outstanding) and the hazelnut parfait (very light and flavourful and something you don’t see very often). Overall a very good food and service and will be coming back soon! Thank you.

After reading rave reviews went for special birthday starter came and was fine then my main came John dory fillet -goldfish ! with 3 very small new potatoes and 4 asparagus spears not good value for £25.00 called server over and said not happy with the meal portion she said thats how it is ? after eating it another server asked if we were happy told no and why he took the bill and a barman came over threw plate on the table no apology no chat at all so if your looking for small overpriced meals served with a bad attitude then this is the place to go -very disappointing after reading all the hype !

Visited here with some customers and we all left speechless. From booking the reservation to ordering food it could not be faulted. We were a group of 5 and we ordered a mix of starters, Bread Basket, Pan Fried Halloumi, Crispy Sweet Chilli Duck Salad and 2 Crayfish Cocktails. Mains were Supreme of Salmon, Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb ( nice and pink and juicyyyyyy ) and Chicken in Breadcrumbs. On to desserts, Marbled Chocolate Mousse Cake( WOWEEEE ), Sticky Toffee Pudding ( more please ) Pear and Almond tart and some Bennetts Farm ice cream. This has to be one of the best nights out for food in a very long time. The food and service was 10/10 and I'm sorry we were the last ones to leave, we didn't want to go. Thank you for making our evening perfect.

Went here for my wedding anniversary whilst staying in Stratford. Although we hadn't booked, we turned up and didn't have to wait long at all to be seated. Our table was in a delightful spot in the corner of the upstairs room, and the food did not disappoint! My wife had the Ribeye steak which she said was cooked to perfection, and I had the delicious Cajun chicken. Bearing in mind this is a 16th century historic building in the heart of Stratford, prices are not as expensive as you might think. Overall, a fabulous dining experience, and excellent service from our lovely Bulgarian waitress (Lilia?).

I was with a colleague in the area for work and we looked at various options to eat out. We settled on this restaurant as their menu looked good, not the cheapest but you have to pay a reasonable price for good food. We were able to walk in with no booking at 6.30pm. We sat downstairs which was pleasant. We both had 3 courses, with mains being the lamb and the duck. All of the food was exceptional, really tasty, well presented and enough to make it enjoyable without being stuffed. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Toilets are upstairs so we were able to have a little look and didn’t realise there were so many tables up there, which also all looked nice. Toilets were clean and smelt fresh (which isn’t always the case). Just mind your head if you’re tall as there are some low beams! I wouldn’t hesitate to return here, just a pity I live so far away!

Perhaps it was just bad luck but we were seated on a table that was between the toilets and the kitchen. This meant that people were frequently walking past, the old floorboards were making our table bounce and we kept getting smells of sewage. In terms of service, we were given no time at all before being seated in our bouncy, smelly table to then ordering drinks and food, it felt more rushed than McDonalds'. Random radio music was blasting out and an very bright light was pointing down at our table, not an atmosphere for a relaxing meal. As a vegan, I had checked the website before for potential dishes, these were then not available and I was told that I 'should have come yesterday' because I could have had more choice then. No effort was made to check if there was any alternatives to the one vegan starter and one vegan main (there was no vegan dessert). The starter not being to my taste, I opted for the bread while the guests I was with had their starters. I asked if I could have vegan spread/butter with this and they said no and again, no effort was made to check. The bread was stale. The waitress had also asked if we would like some olives, to which we agreed. The guests I was with had ordered soup. On the arrival of this soup, they were told 'just to let you know your soup doesn't come with bread you have to tell me to order it if you want some'. This meant that if they wished to have bread with their soup (a normal expectation, surely) they would have to pay £10. My guests shared my bread and they were allowed butter from Lambs as they were not vegan. No olives arrived. Finally, I ordered the one vegan main on the menu, again it wasn't to my taste but I had no other choice. It was edible. My guests enjoyed their fish courses though, despite the smell of poo that frequently lingered in the air next to our table due to the toilets. Still, there was no sign of the phantom olives and no one around so that we could enquire about these. A bill was slammed down on our table, we paid and left. The whole dissapointing experience was over in 1 hour and 20 minutes. I would not recommend attending Lambs and experiencing the same as us, I do not understand how they can justify the prices they charge for their food. It was not enjoyable. We will not be back. Still waiting for the olives.
