Lamb Inn, Yaptonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
7 pubs ticked in Arundel so onto the Lamb we thought….however after a 6 mile £17.00 cab ride later we arrived at the now demolished Lamb Inn!
If only the cab driver knew this and had indeed informed us!!

Another closure. But unfortunately unlike the Holly Tree at Walberton, this one seems to be lost for good. There is a line of hoaring alongside the pub with new housing developments nearby. I suspect the bulldozers will move in soon.

My family visited the Lamb Inn, Yapton on Mothers Day 2011. We declined the set 3 course meal for �15, but decided to go for the "Walk-In Carvery" for �6.95 and my 15 year old was charged a child price. Very happy with the meal, a fair price, lovely carvery, thought it was great. Will visit again. TB 13/04/11

If you haven't visit the pub since the end of April 2010 please go and meet the new manager Doug and his staff team. This is a return to how your local pub should be; friendly staff, a range of lagers and real ales, a wide ranging menu, with excellent fresh fish choices. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and everyone will go the extra step to ensure that your visit is the best expereince it can be, whether you are just popping in for a drink, meeting friends or planning to eat.
If you have previously visited prior to April this year and been let down by your visit, please try the Lamb again, this time you won't be disappointed

Ate there last night ( June 25th 2010 ) New landlords since the last reviews , and it is a good pub to eat in . The service was good and fairly quick and very friendly . The food well cooked and well presented . The soup was excellent as were the Pate and the Potato skins . The Lasagne was excellent , and the steak tasty . The food was certainly not greasy as described earlier . the salads were fresh and inviting . The bill for four , two courses each including drinks was under �15 per head . The young couple running it now have certainly turned the food around from the reviews previously . I will go back there again .

Visited this pub last Friday and as usual it is full of local riff-raff swearing, burping in your face and gossipping about everyone in the village. I can't believe how this pub has gone downhill so much in so little time. The overpriced drink tasted as though it had been watered down and the atmosphere was generally the worst I have ever experienced. Everything has changed abut this once charming village public house and not for the better.

Oh dear, what has happened to the Lamb? Went there for Sunday lunch yesterday and despite arriving at 1.25pm, all the Sunday roasts had gone! The dining room had only 4 customers and the bar area was practically deserted. The whole pub had an air of neglect about it. How different from my last visit when the food was delicious and the place was buzzing with life. No wonder rural pubs are closing at an alarming rate if the Lamb is typical of the standard on offer.

The last time i visited this pub the beer was excellent and the Sunday roast was very good as well. Unfortunately I discovered that standards have declined considerably after my last visit there yesterday. First of all my friend telephoned the pub in the morning to book a table for Sunday lunch. We then took at �20 round trip taxi ride to this country pub. Upon arrival we were greeted by cheap, tatty signs advertising extremely low priced meals interspersed with meals at more normal prices but absolutely no consistency between the two. Inside we were shown to a dirty table with a stained table cloth, soiled 'clean� cutlery and water damaged colour photocopies of the Sunday menu. The place was deserted which should have set the alarm bells ringing! Unfortunately, the waiter told us, the Beef and Lamb was off because they had already had rather a busy day; two tables of 6! All that was left was turkey which we ordered. The waiter then returned to tell us that the turkey was also finished and that we would have to have the normal menu despite numerous other meals being listed on the Sunday menu. Steak & ale pie at �6.95 was listed besides sausages and mash, ham egg and chips and other alternatives at prices ranging from �2.50 - several pounds. My friend ordered the steak & ale pie only to be told that that was off as well. My ham egg and chips was alright, although admittedly it arrived with one rather than the two eggs advertised, and at �2.50 wasn't badly priced. However, another friend's sausage & mash, also at �2.50, was more smash and grease whilst the advertised "100%" meat content was a vast overstatement. The only saving grace was the only real ale on offer, Harvey�s, which was well kept and the waiter's frequent apologies You might have thought we'd get a free round of drinks for our considerable disappointment... think again! The table who came in behind us walked out; we should have done the same. A normal pub would have warned us at the time of booking that something was drastically wrong in their kitchen� but a pub filled with Garden Gnomes (probably another cheap publicity stunt) anyway is far from normal� In a village which has already seen two of it's pub's close I don't think it will be long before this one closes also. In short horrible food, disgusting dining room, ridiculous prices but thankfully one good beer.
