Lamb Hotel in Salford

You know, when I think about the Lamb Hotel, it really warms my heart – it's one of those classic pubs that feels like a step back in time, with its Grade II listed Edwardian building full of original touches like tiled walls and polished brass that give it so much personality. The beers are an absolute highlight; they've won awards for their real ales, and it's clear why, as they're served up in top form, making it a go-to for anyone who loves a proper pint. The staff are just lovely, always making you feel welcome, and there's plenty to keep things entertaining, whether it's live music in the function room or a game of pool with mates. They've got some cracking deals too, like their Fizz Friday offers, which add a bit of extra cheer without breaking the bank. On the downside, though, if you're hoping for an early start or something beyond the usual pub fare like a meat and potato pie, it might not quite hit the mark, and depending on where you're coming from, the location in Eccles could mean a bit of a trek. All in all, it's a smashing spot for a traditional pub experience – I'd say it's well worth seeking out if you're in the area and fancy a pint in a place with real soul.
