Enjoyed a relaxed Friday evening drink with my partner. Staff are friendly and efficient. We didn't order mains, that will for another visit with kids, but the snacks were nice. We tried something new for a dessert and absolutely loved it!!
Really clean and tidy pub which seems to have more ante character the more you look! Great variety on menu I tried the beef prop and smoked bacon lasagne and genuinely think it’s best lasagne i’ve ever had, served on sizzling skillet, superb! Great pub for food and service!
I like the White Lion, but yesterday it was a full football evening plus a very big quiz night, and there appeared to be two front of house staff and a last minute agency chef. They all did a really good job, an excellent job and the food was good! but there just weren’t enough of them - management needs to do a better job of resourcing this pub at busy times.
Not been to this pub for a long while ..but after hearing good things decided to give it a try again ..on the whole it was good a roast and a pie lots of meat in the pie and nice and hot my husband had the roast plenty of meat Fresh vegetables but far too much gravy on plate need to put it in little jugs much better that way They did get order wrong and charged for 5 meals even though we were a four .. But I would go back and try other things on menu as its quite local
I took my mum yesterday for afternoon tea, late Mother's Day / Birthday treat and what a treat it was! We were greeted warmly, and shown a table. Asked for our choice of tea and then brought the most delicious range of goodies. There was plenty of sandwiches / wraps with a tasty choice of filling. The sundried tomato/avocado wrap was amazing, huge prawns in the marie rose, a BLT, it was all delicious. Then brownies and profiteroles and a huge scone with jam & cream. We sat for 2.5 hours and devoured the lot, completely stuffed and enjoyed a blissful afternoon of chatter and good food. We will definitely be headed back.
Excellant! Worth more than 5 stars. Food delicious Staff friendly Environment clean Custer's that go in are also friendly Children welcome,will even take time to speek to the children if not to rushed of there feet.
This was a first time visit for me and my family after it was well recommended but our time was not good. It seemed they were very understaffed to deliver any kind of service. The guy we saw at the bar to let know know we'd arrived for our booking was absolutely clueless and just shrugged his shoulders and said I think you might be over there. Then ignored our presence, didn't check or anything, or seat us, or even tell us to make our way over. So we just went and assumed it was for us. No one came to greet us/ take a drinks order or even let us know the service may limited due to short staffing. Eventually we went to the bar to ask if we were expected to go and order or if we were actually meant to he waited on. When the lady came over she was nice enough but there was no apology for the lack of service so far, missed a drink off the order and when they were brought over she seemed irritated by the fact and said we'd have to sort them as she brought each of over. The table was not set so a wodge of cutlery and napkin was brought to the middle, again for self distribution. My meal was nice of chicken pie with a good amount of meat in it, and veg and potatoes were also nice, this is only reason for the 2 star instead of 1. The amount of each thing was weirdly small, a spoon of cabbage- zero exaggeration, another spoon of root veg, some roast potatoes and mash ? To make up for the lack of everything maybe? But then my partners beef roast had roast potatoes and a literal spoon of mash- goodness knows what the thought process was. Everyone else was quite disappointed in their meals, especially as one of them didnt even turn up! - greasey, tough and dry meats, tepid chips, the same pitiful amount of veg, lack of garnish/ fillings etc. And then continued to be ignored, not checked in on at all or checked if the food was alright. We went to the bar to pay, obviously no tip, and thankfully left. Our experience was naff and although it was understaffed, there was little to no effort and zero sh*ts given. Defo one to avoid.
A lovely find with a welcoming atmosphere, decently priced and amazing food. Staff very welcoming. All family friendly. Will be a regular to take family and friends too when they visit.
Staff really need a rocket up them, so slow. Food is cold, had the pork Sunday roast and very disappointed, potatoes not crispy, gravy cold, carrots boiled not roasted, no crackling on the pork, despite the menu. Bottomless topups non-existent, I have asked 3 times now…
45 minutes and still no food it's only a sandwich for gods sake terribly service and very poor attitude by staff. Food finally arrived this was rated a 1star only because it wouldn't let me rate it anything else
