.... 24 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 You'd maybe remember when the restaurant was the landlord's living quarters Pooh? The bar is still much the same as you would remember it. A real pub. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,334 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 The Woodlark at Lambley has a roaring fire in the little bar in winter and welcomes dogs. I'll take SWMBO next time we're in town <weg> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,334 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 It's heartening to see that there are still a few public houses that have not been completely "Traditionalised". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poohbear 1,360 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Like a visit to the Star at West Leake in '76...Two of my mates,contract farm workers called in on a blazing hot day with a raging thirst. They were refused service as they appeared 'not to be appropriately dressed' The pub was full of the Volvo brigade chomping on Ploughmans Lunches.....but they denied service to the only two ploughmen in the pub...

Limey 242 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Last I heard, "The Star" at West Leake was closed! It is locally referred to as "Leake Pit House" because, many years ago, it was the location of the local cock pit! Many years ago (1970's) it was a great pub! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pixie 162 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 The Woodlark at Lambley has a roaring fire in the little bar in winter and welcomes dogs. ..Is this place still called the woodlark or is it the one thats now called the 'Lambley'? On the corner of catfoot lane & at the bottom of spring lane? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 24 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 No, the Lambley restaurant is what used to be the Nags Head. Further down the main street is the Robin Hood and finally, turn left into Church Street and the Woodlark is up past the church on the left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,334 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I once performed a Morris Dance Jig in the Robin Hood - that was about 1980ish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
