| Pub in [[Locale Chiswick|Chiswick]]. Previously known as the Barley Mow <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/2447330586/ photo]</small>, it was refurbished and renamed to the Lamb Brewery in September 2012, and renamed again to The Lamb in late 2013. The name refers to the historical Lamb Brewery, which brewed in Chiswick until 1922 but has no connection to the present-day pub. |

Until late 2013 it was owned by Convivial London Pubs, but has now been taken over by [[Category Mitchells And Butlers|Mitchells & Butlers]] as part of their [[Category Castle Pubs|Castle]] sub-brand. Under Convivial, it was a brewpub <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/9385252037/ photo of brewing equipment]</small>, but according to the Dec 2013/Jan 2014 <i>London Drinker</i> magazine, they ceased brewing at the start of November 2013, following the M&B takeover. |

We haven't visited since the relaunch, but on [[bob]]'s Friday evening visit in March 2008, the London Pride was very drinkable. It was getting crowded by 7pm, but there was quite a bit of seating including at least one sofa and several armchairs. The menu was typical gastropub with three starter and mains specials on blackboards; in April 2008 [[bob]]'s lamb burger special (£7) was okay. |

[[Kake]] visited on a sunny Wednesday afternoon in July 2013. The patio garden was pretty full when I arrived around 2pm, though there were still a few seats left outside and the interior of the pub was almost empty. Peaceful folk-ish music was playing quietly inside. The handpumps offered five real ales, including two of their own — Dark Ale (£1.85/half) and One In The Bush — as well as Kew Green (possibly the one from the Botanist in Kew?) and two from the [http://www.singlehopale.co.uk/ Marston's Single Hop] range (Pacific Gem and Endeavour). They also had four more of their own beers on keg fonts, including an oatmeal stout. A pint of lime and soda was a very reasonable 95p. Cured salmon ciabatta with dill and citrus dressing (£7) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/9385263317/ photo]</small> sounded good but was only average in execution; the salmon itself was fine, and the accompanying chips were skin-on (which I like), but the ciabatta was stale (to the point of inedibility in parts) and the chips were rather greasy. [[Kake]]'s verdict: The food was pretty disappointing, but I love that they had two dark beers on, and I'd come back if I was passing just for that. Child-friendliness: One of the ladies' cubicles has a pull-down baby change table. Accessibility: A step to get in at both the front (patio) entrance and the back (Barley Mow Passage) entrance. It's step-free throughout once you're in. There are two heavy doors to get to the ladies' toilet, and the cubicles are tiny. |
