Square Meal Review of Lamberts ?

‘Seasonal’ is too often a meaningless watchword in London restaurants, but not at Lamberts. An October menu at this comfortably furnished, if modestly proportioned establishment bursts with autumnal flavours: from beetroot, apple, walnut & celery salad, to mallard breast with caramelised endive & girolles, or glazed boiled bacon with butternut squash, artichokes & sage. The kitchen celebrates its Britishness both in its ingredients (suppliers, breeds, even varieties are carefully sourced & specified) & its dishes. The extensive wine list, helpfully divided by style, has plenty to offer, too. Local foodies beat a path here, & although weekend lunches tend to be family affairs, the professional, on-the-ball staff help make this a proper grown-up restaurant. The new set menu, at £20 for three courses, makes it more affordable as well.

    Eaten here 3 or 4 times, the last time being Friday 21st October 2011.

    Food is always superb, and the menu is ever-changing. I had a rabbit terrine to start, then a herb-crusted steak for the main – both excellent.

    Not the cheapest place in Balham (dinner was £130 for two, although that included a £36 bottle of wine), but always worth every it.

    I'm a Balham local and have been to Lamberts a few times now – it's a great alternative to Chez Bruce (which is AMAZING but v expensive) and to Harrisons (smart crowd & decor, indifferent food). Sunday lunch is great value at £20 for two courses or £24 for three and always yummy – the menu changes regularly to include seasonal produce but some house favourites (e.g. twice baked goats cheese souffle) apear regularly. They also do kids portions, which is very civilised!

    Great wine list with bottles from £15 or so, including a few English wines, including the yummy sparkling Chapel Down Brut from Kent.

    Service is smooth & friendly, the restaurant itself is modern & quite minimalist in a non-cold way and there's always a good ambience.

    Looking forward to a return trip already.

    My girlfriend and I spent a wonderful evening at Lamberts. The staff are welcoming, attentive (but no overly so), knowledgable and happy to make recommendations.
    The atmosphere is more suiting to couple and dates than raucous family events but I dare say that large groups would be made to feel equally as welcome.
    The menu is short and seasonal, championning british ingredients. The Sharps Sheep in 3 ways (mutton, wether and lamb) was amazingly well cooked and conceived whilst my girlfriend's gressingham duck was also delightful. And anywhere with a Neals Yard cheeseboard is good in my books!
    The set menu is fantastic value (£18 for 3 courses) and the saturday/sunday lunch menus look equally good. The wine list offers plenty to choose from both by bottle, carafe (300ml) and glass and offers as much for those with both deep and shallow pockets!
    We'll definitely be returning… I fancy another go at that lamb!
