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.

Still one of the best restaurants in Stratford. We had fixed price menu but food and portions as good as a la carte menu.

We booked Lambs for a birthday dinner while we were travelling. It is certainly is a place for special occasions, with a sophisticated decor and guests dressed very nicely. We started off with drinks and then I ordered the set GF menu - there were...actually two options which is wonderful. The mushroom soup was the best I have ever eaten!! I could just have had more of that and been very happy. The next course was the salmon on a cheesy potato stack. Unfortunately this course was not so good. The oily fish on top of a heavy greasy potato stack was not appetizing, although the flavours were fine. The final course in the set menu was Eton mess with passion fruit and it was delightful. Just the right combination of sweet and tart. Overall, I recommend this restaurant but would suggest they rethink the salmon dish. My husband has the lamb and said it was very good.More

Excellent set menu meal with friends in upstairs restaurant. Very good value with four options from a la carte starter and mains menu and the choice of any dessert. Hadn’t been for a while but still as good as it always was

This is a place where you can say you get what it says on the can. Reliable, tasty, not too expensive and within a short distance of the RSC. You can go a la carte or have a set meal. You won't be disappointed. There...are quite a few very ordinary or very expensive options in Stratford. Stay clear of them and come to Lamb's.More

High quality food. Great staff. Attentive without being intrusive. We had artisan bread & Halloumi starters. Both had Cornish mussels for main. Food was delicious. My wife vouches that her mulled wine was fab. My Spanish draught lager good also. Reasonably priced. Brilliant lunch! We...were a walk in and seated downstairs. Location was fine with adequate room between tables. Upstairs has low beamed ceiling and was quite noisy with much more tables up there. Downstairs may be more preferable - there are 4 of 2 seat tables. Nice touch by staff was how attentive they were to an elderly lady sitting on her own opposite from us.More

Not the first time for my wife but definitely was for me and overall it was a positive experience. A glass of champers for my other half and a G&T was welcomed whilst we perused the menu which led to us choosing the following. As...starters, my wife went with the scallops with pork belly and an apple puree jus which she enjoyed but thought it could have had a bit more 'kick to it while for me it was the beef carpaccio served with rocket, Parmigiano Reggiano and a hint of aged balsamic - loved it. Moving to the mains, for the wife it was the Cornish skate wing with a mix of accompaniments and a part share of a broccoli side dish which again she enjoyed but thought it was a little bit on the 'greasy' side. For me it was the calves liver served with croquette potatoes (at my request rather than creamed), spinach and crispy shallots. As with the starter, I loved it. We were careful with the wine, a Picpoul glass for my wife and a larger glass of a decent Shiraz for me both of which we enjoyed. Atmosphere was calm and relaxing and the staff were attentive and helpful. So, in summary, we will be back.More

Had another great meal here ... the flat iron steaks were especially gorgeous and I would like to single out two servers. The first was a well built guy with a lot of tatoo's on his forearm (don't know his name) and the second was...Klaudia (spelt with a K) ... so thank you both for some excellent serviceMore

I took my grown up nieces and nephews here for lunch on Saturday and we had the best time. For many reasons I wanted this to be a really lovely place to take them, have great food and a relaxed fun time. Lambs, the waitress,...the food and ambiance exceeded all expectations. We sat upstairs and the room has a great sense of history and charm. I am celiac and was reassured at every step, they even have a GF menu and take it very seriously (as they should but many places sadly don't) Between us we had the Mexican chicken, lamb shank, flat steak and salmon. Everyone loved their food and went for puddings too. Portions were good and presentation beautiful. Our waitress - sorry not to have got her name was absolutely wonderful, kind, friendly and made us feel so welcome. She was just the best!!!! Thank you all so much - especially the chefs who we don't get to thank. What you do here is way above so many restaurants and you gave us such a happy fulfilling dining experience that set us up for a very happy family day.More

Came for my partner's birthday. We didn't have a reservation but had hoped we could sit outside as it looked so cosy and special with blankets and heated lamps available. The food was sensational. Even just the bread basket was special! We had the salted...cod croquettes, I had the sea bream while my partner had the duck and we finished sharing the the pear and almost tart and chocolate marble cake. Everything was so flavourful and cooked to perfection. Really reasonably priced considering how fabulous everything was, especially as we came on a Thursday so one half of the meal was on the pre-fix menu. The service was amazing. We were looked after so well by Anna and Molly who were incredibly friendly and helpful with our choices. Thank you for a wonderful evening.More

Sunday Lunch very disappointing We went with high hopes but was let down. We both had the roast lamb which was very chewy and roast potatoes which were hard on the outside (not crispy) and really chewy too. The vegetables were very average but the...cauliflower cheese I have was excellent. We asked for bread to share but that did not arrive. We went to Miller and Carter the night before and that was excellent. (So would recommend going there instead!)More
