High Street, Little Milton, OX44 7PU

Owner's description

Situated in the village of Little Milton outside of Oxford, this charming 16th Century thatched public house has been serving elevated British pub food since its reopening under new ownership from 2022.

The kitchen, run by Michelin trained Head Chef Nat Berney, provides delicate to hearty dishes within this family run business.

Having been nominated as Best Newcomer last year in an Oxfordshire food awards ceremony, the teams are constantly striving to provide best in class service all round.

With a seasonally changing menu and a curated wine list (mostly by the glass), of small producers from around the world, The Lamb Inn is perfectly placed for destination lunches, long dinners and planned Sunday Roasts.

“A very knowledgeable team with an interesting and varied selection of dishes” wins praise for this 16th-century thatched village pub near Oxford (under its current ownership since 2022). Ex-Manoir chef, Nat Berney, produces a seasonally changing menu that’s of restaurant quality rather than being especially pub-like (for example Côte de Boeuf to share or Whole Lemon Sole in Rose Harissa Butter). More reports please!

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
