About
We can’t resist a pub/hotel whose website has a dedicated classic cars section and includes the phrase “In addition to managing The Fat Lamb Hotel for almost forty years, I have more recently been able to indulge my other great passion – owning, maintaining and driving Classic Cars.”
Lots of car clubs meet there and owner Paul Bonsall is very active in car events and car-related charity work (the Sporting Bears). Here’s a summary of Paul’s conversation with us:
“We don’t just welcome classic car owners to the Fat lamb – we thrive on them, car tours forming a very large part of our business these days. We host over thirty visiting car and motorbike meets per year, mostly residential, and offer a full tour planning service to event organisers – planning routes, printing off tour notes or tulip books, booking lunch/tea/coffee stops, arranging visits to a variety of interesting venues en-route and designing and supplying personalised rally plates. We even have a fully equipped workshop complete with four post lift to keep everyone on the road.
Danny Hopkins, editor of Practical Classics magazine has dubbed us ‘The Ultimate Classic Friendly Inn‘ and the PC team have stayed with us on many occasions. Our bar is full of petrol pumps, old oil cans, fuel cans and other motoring memorabilia.
We offer individual members of any Classic Car club an immediate 10% discount off our standard room rates for two nights just for putting a nice car on our car park whilst larger groups qualify for our special group rates if taking nine rooms or more.”

A lovely pub with rooms and food
Great pub in the middle of nowhere, quiet, tranquil, safe parking, good beer and homely food – what’s not to like! Dave (via iPad)
This Inn has got the lot
Having spent two weekends here with our car club I can honestly say that this is some of the best driving country in the UK. Add to that a very welcoming host, good beer, decent food, and great value it is about time you guys paid a visit and upgraded this to Gold! Paul is great company and always willing to help out with route planning and recommend places of interest.
