The Lamb Inn - Pub in Oxfordshire
Sheep Street, Burford, OX18 4LR, Oxfordshire
England,
United Kingdom
On Sheep Street, of course, The Lamb started life in the 15th century as a simple weaver’s cottage. Now the feel is altogether more luxurious… cosy in winter, lovely in the sunny, sheltered courtyard garden. After browsing the handsome High Street with its medieval, Tudor and Georgian facades, an aperitif or a pint by the magnificent fireplace is a fine way to start the evening. You dine in a light, elegant and slightly funky restaurant overlooking the garden, on great quality, locally sourced food like trout from Bibury, lamb from Barnsley and Wye Valley asparagus. Come with your dog - there’s delightful walking in the Windrush River Valley - and your brood who will love the children's menus, which include their own Sunday roasts. Afternoon tea is a treat, by the fire in winter or in the pretty, poppy-strewn garden in summer.
