Paddingtons Pub — Restaurant in Lambton Shores

Good food and portions Fair prices Ample parking Cramped inside ABYSIMAL AND INCOMPATANT SERVER

Our server took our drink orders and made some saracastic remarks about me not seeing the drink list (I saw it but didnt want booze) we also decided to give her dinner orders as well to save time as we had a play in 1.5 hrs which we told her

She then forgot to bring our drinks for 20 or more mins we got our apps and had to ask the other waitress delivering them for our drinks

She screwed up my app order i asked for a rasp vinergerette dressing on a 15 buck salad not the normal balsamic when the other waitress brought it out i noticed the dressing was balsamic which is much darker I pointed it out to the server she argued with me told me it was right So i tasted it I was correct it was balsamic she then corrected it

Then the mains arrive pretty late but im trying to cut em slack as its a sat night

2 of 4 mains wrong 1 minor issue which we fixed ourselves some things ended up on wrong plates

The other one was a request for onion gravy not mushrooms which was not honoured

Funny note I said to my sister in law judging from the way this is going she was getting the mushroom gravy she dreaded before it happened sadly prediction came true

So my sister in law pointed the mushrooms she hates all over her main course out to the waitress politely her response was something to the effect she ordered it right and the kitchen cant read Rather then take it back or ask how to make it right She basically shrugged her shoulders did nothing and left

She didnt come back at all after that to ask if we needed something or get us another drink and to this point we had all been polite and tolerant she had no reason to ignore it

We finished ask for our bills and for a container for my wifes fish

She came back with bills not even close to correct and no container for fish

We then straightened out the bill with her and AGAIN asked for the container she forgot for my wifes fish

We now had 10 mins to get to the play b4 it started

So she came back again with the bills and STILL NO DAMN LEFT OVER CONTAINER

The place could be pretty good and if the service was even mediocre id go back as we all liked the food But all 4 of us were shocked at the level of bad service May have been a one off may be the norm i dont know Normally i would have spoken to a manager or owner but i got to the play with mins to spare and didnt...

Stopped in here on a whim today as we were just driving by. Usually I have these things pre planned but today I walked in with zero expectations. We were just leaving the beach & had a group of 11. So I wasn’t expecting to get in anywhere without a reservation. But the back patio was wide open & fit us all! The staff was all so amazing. I can’t say enough about our waitress either. She was dynamite! The food took about 40 min. Which was absolutely understandable. We were a big group on a random Monday so they were doing their best. All of our food was piping hot & the portions were great!! They had a lot of unique items to choose from as well. We started with the cheese dip. It was served with garlic naan and it was huge hit with everyone! I would recommend ordering extra naan with it tho. For the main I went with the fried haddock & basmati rice. It was so delicious! Highly recommend. My husband had the Buffalo wrap which was also amazing. They didn’t use franks hot sauce & so many places do! So it was a nice change. Our son went with the chicken finger meal & it was a ton of food! Pretty standard meal but the portion was great.

Overall it was a wonderful experience & definitely recommend checking out this little gem if you’re...

We discovered this gem by accident; having just bought a cottage in the area, and up during the winter, we found ourselves driving around town looking for someplace to dine, figuring we'd have really limited options (which is kind of true in the winter, since this is a beach town, but...). We noticed a plain sign reading "PUB" and that caught my eye, so we pulled in. We immediately fell in love and it's become our go-to for dinner! (especially in the winter - just something about the toasty atmosphere with the smell of steaks grilling on a cold winter night) It's small, cozy, and filled with friendly people. The service has always been great for us and the food is really good - we love the steak, the fish and chips, and almost all of the specials we have tried. Great little bar, too. Ample wine and beer choices. It's also a cool spot to catch a sporting event, as they have a large screen TV and the games are playing. This really has become our favorite spot for dinner...
