142 Lamb Hotel - Halliwell Road




First  visited : 10  August  2017

The  Lamb's  name  was  changed,  around  2010,  to  The  Claremont  Arms. possibly  due  to  confusion  with The  Lamb Inn  at  Astley  Bridge  which  is  barely  a  mile  away. It's  divided  into  two  rooms  Best  Room  to  the  right  and  Vault  to  the  left. "Vault"  is  a  bare  games  room  , "Best  Room" is a  large  open  room  with  a  stage  in  the  corner, nice  enough  and  clean  but  not  not  enough  to  warrant  a  recommendation. The  pub  proclaims  a "25  and  Over"  policy  ( perhaps  due  to  an  incident  with  an  imitation  shot  gun  a  few  years  ago )  but  I  can't  really  understand  why. The  pub's  not  in  a  nice  enough  area  to  attract  a  more  gentil  clientele  and,  judging  from  my  visit  today,  they  can  ill  afford  to  shut  anyone  out.
