Lion & Lamb in Northumberland

We recently visited the Lion & Lamb for a special family Sunday lunch. We were a large party aged 7 months to 70 years, and a dog!. The whole meal was fantastic from start to finish. The portion sizes were amazing, but quality was not overlooked as is so often the case. The whole team were friendly, attentive in their service and really accommodating, even preparing some basic steamed veg for our baby. My nephew loved the outdoor play area, and we're looking forward to returning this summer and making use of the beer garden and the lovely views. Well done Lion & Lamb, we are excited to return!

Really lovely pub, so much character inside and a cracking outdoor area. The perfect place to stop in any weather. Being good Friday we all had fish and chips, nice meaty cod, crispy batter and the sides were so moreish. You can tell the chef is passionate about producing good quality plates. It’s a must stop in Northumberland!

Chicken supreme, cauliflower cheese, and fries was great. The desserts were delicious. We sat outside and had a great view of the surrounding countryside. Not far from Wylam.

Just eaten the most delicious Sunday lamb roast. It was perfection, the side order of cauliflower cheese that was recommended did not disappoint, the whole meal was sublime. Happy to recommend, still sat enjoying our drinks, what wonderful staff.

A fantastic country pub great food good beer and very friendly staff. The porsions are of good size and good quality, If you were going for Sunday lunch it would be advisable to book as they get very busy and have to turn people away. The views from the garden across the Tyne valley are spectacular they have a good size beer garden with play area for the children. It's that nice we have booked for a family meal in the run up to Christmas

😋😋😋😋We went for my birthday Sunday lunch and weren't disappointed.Staff were very friendly, we were shown to our table and drinks orders were taken, after 5 or 10 mins the waiter returned to see if we were ready to order, yes please.I went for a monkfish stater, having never had monkfish I was thoroughly impressed, decent chunks cooked in bread crumbs and served with tartar sauce and samphire, delicious.I opted for beef (pink) for my main which was beautiful, served with roasties, greens (leek, cabbage, green beans) and the biggest Yorkshire pudding I've ever seen.I'd thoroughly recommend giving this place a try if you like good food.There's a few negative reviews on hear relating to the management, many are written years ago and I know the place has recently been taken over so I'd ignore these comments and give it a go, we had a great time and will definitely be back.Oh there's a decent sized garden with a small play park for the kids too.

Outstanding food, and I mean OUTSTANDING food, every single time. The menu is constantly refreshed with incredible creativity and skill. Every time I visit, I have the best steak of my life.Staff are friendly and attentive, no matter how many tables they have on at the time. Drink selection is great, and there's plenty of space for the kids. Do yourself a favour and go here.

Staff were so helpful and friendly and went above and beyond to help. Food was amazing, infact I can't fault anything even from before I stepped foot inside. Will definitely be going back and would highly recommend others to go too.

Great to to see one of my favourite places for Sunday Lunch still serving top notch food. It’s famous for the roast leg of lamb and it did not disappoint 10/10! Great service from the waitresses. Can’t wait to go back soon!

I'm basing my 5* rating on visits made to this pub before lockdown. What I loved about it was the amazing menu which was head and shoulders above regular pub offerings in its interesting additions and flavours. Everything I'd tried was delicious and even their club sandwich - my favourite lunchtime choice, and excellent value - was not something you'd find at most pubs.When we went for Monday lunch at the beginning of August, we took advantage of the Eat Out scheme to almost halve our bill.The menu that day was very prosaic pub food which I found forgivable under the circumstances, but disappointing because it's not what I choose Lion & Lamb for. Having said that, the food we were served was tasty and beautifully presented. Just not my first choice.We were able to eat outside as there's a large number of tables outdoors, complete with umbrellas for when it's too sunny.Without my previous experiences, I'd probably have rated it 5* anyway, because I'd not have known what I was missing. But I sincerely hope that they'll be able to go back to their regular menu before too long.
