The Lamb Inn-Nomansland — Restaurant in England

A Glorious Feast at The Lamb Inn, Nomansland

If you’re after a proper pub meal in the heart of the New Forest, look no further than The Lamb Inn in Nomansland. This gem of a pub delivers everything you could want—hearty portions, top-notch flavours, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The Pies of the Week menu is a stroke of genius, offering an ever-changing selection of handmade pies packed with rich, satisfying fillings. I had the chilli con carne pie, and it was an absolute knockout. The balance of spice and flavour was spot on, with a generous, meaty filling encased in a beautifully crisp and buttery pastry. It’s the kind of pie that keeps you coming back for more.

And then there’s the Big Daddy roast dinner—a towering plate of perfection. Three roast meats, each cooked to absolute tenderness, accompanied by all the trimmings: crispy roast potatoes, perfectly cooked veg, a fluffy Yorkshire pudding, and a rich, flavourful gravy that tied everything together. Easily one of the best roast dinners I’ve ever had—generous, delicious, and cooked with real care.

With great food, a friendly team, and a proper country pub feel, The Lamb Inn is a must-visit. Whether you’re stopping in for a pie, a roast, or just a pint by the fire, you won’t be...

We had a lovely meal here food was tasty and great portion sizes. However who knows if they do pudding?!?!? We got greeted with a nice hello but then service was very slow. When they came to take our order they didnt know what they had or what they didnt have and two items my husband ordered told where ok to then come back to the table to tell us they didn't have it in tonight. Eventually the third item they did. The waitress was rather miserable and not very happy. After a long wait we received our food. A table who ordered after us with the same amount of people as us got food before us. They had then finished there meal before ours arrived. Once it arrived it was a good portion size and very yummy. We then watched the bar staff cleaning the bar at 8:45 and look at us and see we had finished but never came to clear our table or check if we enjoyed the food. We ended up paying at the bar after waiting a while for service and watch them chat. We wanted pudding but where never offered it. Maby they...

Sadly, today 21 August 2022 was the first and last meal we shall have at The Lamb, Nomansland. The Sunday Roast was by far the worst my wife and I have ever had. Whilst we did manage the meat OK (I had chicken and my wife had beef), the vegetables jwere ust dreadful. The advertised crispy roast potatoes were like soft rubber and chewy, the blob of chicken stuffing was like jelly ( I couldn't even bring myself to put it into my mouth), strings of cabbage were dry and tasted awful and the cauliflower cheese actually tasted stale so most of it was left untouched (as were all the vegetables overall). We complained to the waitress, received the expected ""I'm so sorry" platitudes followed by the bill for the full amount with no relief for how terrible both meals actually were, not even a visit to the table by the manager to discuss the issues we had. Never again and cannot recommend it at all. We would give it a zero star rating...
