The Lamb and Flag

The Lamb and the Navy

A big old pub, long, with lots of nook and crannies. A secondary meeting place of the famous Inklings club, the literary grouping of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and friends. Above the main door is an inscription in Tolkien's Elvish. Quite reasonably priced for its location, and often less busy than its literary fame would lead one to expect. Its kitchen was renovated in 2022.
