The Lamb, Surbiton

Randomness Guide to London - Lamb entry

One room winding around the central bar. A slightly unusual interior with rather eclectic decor ranging from 1970's style lightshades, modern art on the white walls, a variety of non matching chairs at tables of differing sizes. Tables have candles and there are cacti on the window cill. Some years ago this pub was like a 1970's museum piece, particularly with the fake black beams and posts screwed to the walls. The beams remain but have been painted over. The old red Skol sign is still displayed on the outside gable wall. The pub is home to a cheese club, and a selection of more unusual cheeses are available served with bread and home made chutney. It may sound a bit trendy even pretentious, but I felt the place to be relaxing and enjoyed my stay. Good beer helps of course, there are three handpumps; the selection was Ringwood Best Bitter, Wychwood Hobgoblin and Titanic Lifeboat. There is a large garden/patio area to the rear.

Slightly strange pub. Seems to be trying to turn from a local boozer to upmarket, but hasn't got there yet. Recommended for cheese lovers!
