Called The Lamb Inn. More of a restaurant than a pub. Moderate selection of main brand cask ales. Food so-and-so.

I actually found the staff here very helpful. I admit there is a very small selection of Real ales but breakfast was good and accomodation very reasonable.

Only two real ales but I'd heard the food was good so went for lunch. Waited with my Greene King IPA, which was nondescript as usual, but I'd heard the food was good so I waited patiently for my Suffolk-farmed sausages. Eventually it appeared and discovered I'd heard wrongly. Of the eight sausages (not as generous as it sounds - they were all about the size of a child's middle finger), four were just about edible but the remainder were incinerated to the point that I couldn't saw through them with my knife. I'm not a complainer - I usually vote with my feet - but I mentioned to the waitress who collected the plate that the sausages were inedible. She said, 'Sorry' then took my plate away. Finished my pint and left about five minutes later but no one emerged from the kitchen in that time to speak to me. I didn't want anything off my bill or a voucher or anything material, simply an acknowledgement of my comments but none was forthcoming. And I'd heard that the food was good...

Only GK for sale so left straight away. Nice building
|
Ok-ish as a pub; average Greene King beers; food is of decent standard and the staff friendly and do their best, if a bit hard-pushed at busy times. Infinitely preferable to the Minster!
|
An extremely poorly run establishment. I have personally experienced unbelievable levels of apathy and incompetence from both staff and managers through bookings made for conference rooms. Assistance received just does not represent money spent. Avoid at all costs.
|
Not having had much luck trying to get a mid-week lunchtime meal I thought this might be a good place to try.
A couple were waiting by the dining room door. They explained that you had to be taken to a table by one of the staff. Having waited for what seemed ages I thought I would check out the bar. There was a choice of two real ales (I use the term 'real ale' loosely) tasteless Greene King.
I didn't fancy staying after that disappointment and as the couple were still waiting to get a table I would try the pub opposite.

my last bar i visted in ely in my afternoon in ely 2 weeks ago. beer ok and the bar was good
|
Nice relaxed atmosphere.Clean place and toilets.Quite expensive but worth going to if you think that the Minster is too boisterous.........
|
Unusually for a hotel bar, this is rather nice. Decent service and a passable pint.
