Voted Runner-Up Best Gastropub by Time Out in 2006. It has a great selection of real ales, ciders and continental lagers, and a fantastic daily changing menu.

In a delightfully British take on the New York style Sex and the City brunch, I found myself sitting down to roast beef with 3 gal pals to ruminate over respective careers, dates and the Times university guide on Sunday. The food was good, the locale and decor good and freebie supplements appreciated. However, nothing made it past 'good'. Trying to get served at the bar to order our lunch was irritatingly difficult, the bar staff were friendly but too busy entertaining each other to take our money from us and allow us to go and sit down. I'm often in heels so this seriously irritates me. I would go here for Sunday lunch again but would pick somewhere else for a special Sunday treat.

Great, fresh food. Menu is diverse and changes daily. And a nice selection of ciders. Definitely will return. Service is nice and friendly.

I am not sure I would agree that this place is a "gastro pub" but it is definitely a great find. It feels hidden away behind Angel and I felt taken back in time on a Tuesday night. It has a down to earth feel with heathers on the table and candles in the fireplace.
I had a Lancashire hot pot which was very tasty and the smallish blackboard menu had a varied selection of food.
This place makes a refreshing change if you are heading out.

I love this place. It's quite a small, yet quaint, free-house pub. The staff are very chilled out and extremely friendly, The Sunday roast is one of the best I've ever had, and they stock St. peter's organic beer. What more could one want?
There's outdoor seating as well for those sunny days.
Throwing caution to the wind - get there early because this place fills up very, very quickly!
The pub dog, Mascha, kicks back and mingles with the patrons every day. She is very friendly and the staff tell me that she even has her own MySpace site!

I love the Charlest Lamb. It's an unassuming charming pub tucked in the side streets of Angel in Islington, off of Regent's Canal. Their sunday roasts are amazing. The beef is great but they always have something a little different than what you'd expect like duck. And my favourite is their trimmings such as roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings and sweetpotato or carrot & swede mash with gravy. Yum! Great selection of organic beers and microbrews from the US, as well as wine by the glass. This place is a jewel of a find.
