What they say
16th century country pub with large gardens, cosy bar and dining room, real ales, wines by the glass and excellent food

Well-run and friendly, The Lamb is popular for its good food and welcoming staff. It was originally two cottages and at its heart is the low-beamed bar with a log fire in the original inglenook fireplace, nice pubby furniture on the floor tiles, lots of old photographs of nearby Henley-on-Thames and various agricultural and other antique knick-knacks on the walls. Loddon Leaping Lamb, brewed exclusively for The Lamb plus 2-3 guest ales on handpump, ten wines by the glass and several malt whiskies; piped music. The dining room next to the bar is a cosy place for a meal. Outside is a large garden with woodland area, seats on a sizeable lawn and roaming chickens.

Four of us had dinner here last Friday - a most enjoyable experience. Imaginative menu with emphasis on home or locally sourced ingredients. Food generally well flavoured (although the rice-ball starter was a bit bland) and service attentive but discreet. Ambience delightful - everything you would expect from an ancient country pub. Beers include 'Leaping Lamb' - specially brewed for them by the local Lodden brewery.
Will certainly return!

We are regulars of The Lamb at Satwell and cannot believe the comments made by Gordon below - mind you coming from someone who can't even spell Brakspear what would you expect? The Lamb is always a warm and welcoming place and the beers are second to none as well as local, coming from the local Loddon brewery 3 miles away. The food is also excellent. It's a shame there are people like Gordon who clearly have no idea about good food and ale. Never mind, he can always go to Wetherspoons!

We popped in during a walk. We had a nice cup of coffee, soft drink. The food looked pretty good and the menu interesting. My wife said the coffee was especially good. At the bottom of the garden is a hen run - in fact they were around our feet by the tables at the back of the pub. BBQ's weather permitting on Saturdays.
