London's best review, food and drink news
A pub for over 300 years and a fixture on Rose Street for longer, the unabashedly traditional Lamb & Flag is always a squeeze, but no one seems to mind. Character is in short supply around Covent Garden, and this place has bags of the stuff. On tap are draught Young's, Greene King and Courage Best, bottled Budvar and Peroni, and a daily menu usually including a ploughman's with a choice of eight cheeses (£5.25), roast beef pork or lamb with all the trimmings (£8.50) and cumberland sausage with french bread (£5.25). The afternoon-only bar upstairs is 'ye olde' to a fault. Pictures of passed-on regulars - 'Barnsey', Corporal Bill West et al - testify to its neighbourhood feel.
