Square Meal review of Lamberts: ? Write your review

With its kitchen applying many of the better elements of gastropubbery, Lamberts is the destination restaurant for Balham foodies, who warm to the ‘friendly & knowledgeable’ staff. A pared-down menu makes a feature of its British sourcing – soused Cornish mackerel, Donald Russell grass-reared beef, Herdwick mutton. Some dishes work better than others. An intensely sweet, rich starter of black pudding-stuffed squid is terrific & halibut & mussel fish pie shows off an attractive mix of sophistication & comfort. But crispy pork belly can be dry & its accompanying trotter fritters, lacking in flavour. Inexpensive mid-week set dinners & a great kids’ menu keeps the house full, though.

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!
