A 16th-century pub that’s around 25 minutes from Oxford by car has been named the best in Oxfordshire by one of its visitors.

The caption of the video reads: “The best pub in Oxfordshire!

“It’s hardly surprising the food is so good when the head chef is Michelin-trained Head Chef Nat Berney.

“The seasonal menu is genuinely the best menu we’ve seen at a pub.

“Add The Lamb Inn (Little Milton) to your list and you will come back again and again.

“As well as being awarded Two Rosettes, they can also be found in the Michelin Guide”.

On the pub’s website, customers can get to know more about it: “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.

“Recently having been awarded Two Rosettes and gaining Best Upcoming Gastropub in Oxfordshire 2024 by LuxLife Magazine, 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.”

Is The Lamb Inn worth a visit?

At the time of writing, the pub has an impressive 4.6 rating on Tripadvisor from 107 reviews, with customers sharing their experiences.

One visitor said: “We had lunch at The Lamb today to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary.

“The Rack of Lamb and Rib Eye Steak were both done to perfection.

“And the service was friendly and attentive throughout.

“I’d go as far as to say it’s the best meal we’ve had out in either Oxfordshire or Bucks.

“Thanks to the team there.”

This customer said: “We had a great time, the building is full of charm with a cozy and welcoming feel.

“The food was excellent, beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly made with care.
