Alternative Burns Night Supper
We will be celebrating McGonagall (Burns) night on Wednesday 25th January with a menu of scottish favourites, Whisky and bad poetry. Tickets are £27.50 per person which includes a 3 course set dinner and a few tots of whisky (please let us know if you are vegetarian or have allergies when booking).There is limited space and you will be sharing tables. More details about dress code and timings are available when emailing Camille. This event is kindly sponsered by Auchentoshan.
Camille is back in the kitchen...
After a 3 year break setting up a cocktail bar, collaborating on a hotel bar and being altogether a bit more glamourous, Camille is going to be rejoining the kitchen team part time. This is partly due to some team members moving to pastures new but mainly because she has missed it and wants to get back to where she is happiest ... covered in garlic and goosefat!

R.I.P. Mascha
It is with the greatest sadness that we announce the death of our beloved staffie and trusty pub dog, Mascha. She will be greatly missed. She passed away very suddenly, walking in the sunshine during a weekend away at the seaside.
Mascha came to us almost 6 years ago from Battersea Dogs' Home where she had been given up by her elderly previous owners.
We would like to thank all our friends and customers who contributed to giving her such a happy home for her last years.
If you can spare something, please make a donation to Battersea Dogs' Home in her memory by clicking here.

The Charles Lamb was voted Runner-up in the Observer Food Monthly 2010 Awards as "Best Place to Drink" (Camille's other place, 69 Colebrooke Row was the winner, so the competition was stiff!). Take a look at the results here. Many thanks to all of you who voted for us!
'Lovely old pub with a surprisingly country feel given its proximity to the tube. Good selection of board games, real ales and food.' - Observer Food Monthly
New beers from Greenwich Meantime Brewery...
The Charles Lamb has been trying to buy as much locally as possible. Meantime Brewery in Greenwich are now supplying us with both our draught Lagers, one of which is known as The Charles Lamb Lager.
This means that all our draught products are British brands and brewed in the UK, 50% of these come from within the M25.
If you have any suggestions or comments about our beers please speak to the bar staff or email us on drink@thecharleslambpub.com

The Charles Lamb House Wine has arrived!
Camille and Hobby went to visit our lovely friends at Domaine St Hilaire in the Languedoc (you may well have sampled their wares here already) and have selected three delicious wines - red, white and rosé - which are being produced exclusively for us to become the Charles Lamb's offical house wines.
The label has been designed for us by Rob Ryan.

The Charles Lamb Patron's List...
As you may or may not know, we like our wine here at the Charles Lamb. Camille has spent the last few months cherry picking a few favourites from our suppliers to keep a limited supply of special wines in the cellar. They are available by the bottle only and a mixture of traditional classics and unusual grape varieties from the old world growers... they won't be written up on the board so please ask at the bar to see this list.

dinner party image The Charles Lamb Supper Club
A regular event - the Charles Lamb Supper Club invites a guest chef (it could be you!) each month to cook (and eat) a three-course menu for an informal supper evening. Supper is served at 7.30pm, one sitting only with a set price. We put two or three big tables in the dining room and it's a fantastic night for mingling, chatting, and enjoying some great food and wine.
It is always a huge success and places are booked up very quickly!
Please e-mail us if you are interested in hosting a Supper Club event!
