Lambs is a popular restaurant in the centre of town, a favourite with theatre-orientated folk and lunchtime crowds alike, they offer quality and good value. 12 Sheep Street is one of the oldest buildings in Stratford; it dates from the early sixteenth century, probably during the reign of Henry VIII. In 1933, the house reverted briefly to private occupancy, since then, however, it has been in continuous use as a cake shop, tearoom and now a restaurant.

The kitchen breathes creativity into the menu, opening with starters like crispy pork with mango and watercress salad, and Wiltshire honey roasted ham with breaded free-range hen's egg. The sharpness of bitter orange and lime in sauce bigarade brings an appealing spin to a main course of Gressingham duck breast, while pan-fried calves' liver is accompanied by creamed potato, wilted spinach, crispy pancetta and red wine jus.

Alice's Room at Lambs can accommodate 12-16 guests and is well suited for private dining.
