Despite the rather cute old pub being located on a back street, they have contrived a frontage on the High Road through a patio area. Inside is posh modern, especially in the restaurant area at the back. Sadly both handpumps were glassed with reversed clips (one of which was Tribute) leaving some moderately interesting if typically overpriced keg craft. I can't personally see any reason for coming back.

A pub of some sorts has existed here since the mid-18th century, becoming the Barley Mow then the Lamb Brewery in 2012, truncated to the Lamb in 2013 when brewing ceased.
Up front on approach, there’s a gazebo-style patio with upholstered benches. Thereafter, the pub has clearly had a substantial makeover in the seven-and-a-half years since Rex’s visit. I had thought that this was going to be some ‘ye olde world’ pub, but essentially it’s like some sort of boutique hotel bar with lounge sofas in the front area, then bare brick and modern tall furniture in the typical modern cocktail bar style, with some patterned wallpaper and rococo gilded mirrors or if you prefer, a cream of mushroom soup colour scheme in the mid-section, with an attractive carved bar array, spoilt with tediously repetitive shiny ceramic tiles, the pub scourge of the 21st century. It’s in this section where you can rest your eyes on oh-so un-pub-like trendy prints and potted palms, the one saving grace being a real fire, though as yet unlit. And all this described on the pub’s website as ‘A standout pub in Chiswick, full of quirky charm’.
Just two ales on, with Landlord then – hallelujah – Titanic Plum Porter at a steep £2.90 a half, slightly too cold and served by a highly confused barmaid, who eyed me with suspicion throughout my brief stay.
This place is probably ok for people who don’t really like pubs, are up for more of a formal meal or are meeting on a first date, but it didn’t really do it for me so I can’t really recommend it. But if you like Shredded Duck Salad, Roasted Garlic Chicken with Truffle Dauphinoise or Octopus with Calabrian Nduja…

The brewery operation here is no more, and the pub has truncated its name to The Lamb. This pub stretches between Chiswick High Rd and Barley Mow Passage, with entrances at both ends. The Chiswick High Rd one looks like the main entrance. There's a good amount of outside seating at this end. There's a bank of 6 handpumps at each end of the pub, but when I visited on Tuesday afternoon only the bank at the Chiswick Rd end was in use. The ales on were Andwell 5 Little Fishes (£2.10 a half); Doom Bar; Windsor & Eton Knights of the Garter; Harviestoun Broken Dial; Wild Beer Bibble; and Ilkley Mary Jane. Sandwiches are from £7 upwards - the fish finger sarny, including fries, is £7. Main courses are from £11.25 (beefburger) upwards.
Seating is the usual mix of tall tables/tall stools and normal tables and chairs. There's a fair amount of copper about the place - the bar top's made of it, it's wrapped around the pillars, and the centre of the T bars are made to look like copper fermentation tanks. Presumably this was decor associated with the erstwhile micro-brewery. There are various prints on the walls, and a large mirror on one of the exposed brick walls. Blankets were stacked in a basket by the front entrance for those who have to sit outside when the weather's a bit on the cool side.
The bar back might well be an original piece, but otherwise there's nothing of heritage interest remaining inside. Nonetheless, this is a much better pub than when I visited a few years ago. The beer selection alone makes it worthy of a visit
