After contemplating many restaurants within a 15 minute drive from our home in Witney, my wife and I chose the Lamb Restaurant and what a poor decision it was. The Lamb has no atmospheres and reminded us of waiting outside the headmaster’s office prior to being canned for some minor offence. As we waited for our table for an hour, the waiter served us drinks, mine a dry white wine and when we say a full glass I mean a full glass; the drinks were accompanied by cherry tomatoes with melon to be exact. Our orders were taken and Nady chose the pea soup and I chose the tuna; this was followed by the duck breast and after a lot of deliberation I settled for the red mullet. The main restaurant had no ambience and very little service, the pea soup was bland and lacked any seasoning, the tuna, however, did offer a ray of light with three different tastes, however the chilli was so overpowering that the delicate flavour of the tuna was completely lost. Nady asked for her duck breast to be served pink and it was overcooked. The duck was supported by a vanilla mash, which was burnt and returned with the duck. The red mullet was well below average and the dish must have been left under a cooking lamp as the soft fish had turned into a dry slab without any flavour. I questioned the staff on the quality of the food, however, no one seemed to know if the restaurant manager was on site, and they offered no apologies for the food. The waiters had no understanding of serving wine or the correct manner of serving food. This is one restaurant that we won’t be returning to.

I was taken here by my sister and mother for a family birthday meal, and i have to say that the food was excellent. I loved the old feel of the place, at first I thought the portions were too small, but as the hostess instructed, the three course meal was designed perfectly to fill.

The service was delightful. So delightful, I will be returning with my partner very soon.
