What SteveMalkin likes about The White Lion:
Paid my first visit to this venue the other day and was extremely surprised by the quality of both the restaurant and the food. I chose from the lunch menu this time, and the steak was excellent. The actual interior and layout is excellent, and the staff were very pleasant. Will be returning soon to try the evening menu. Highly recommended View all feedback. What jeffreyj224 doesn't like about The White Lion:
Used this venue regularly over last 10 years .Food was always good service good.Prices gone thru the roof since Covid ...£5.25 for 125mm red wine is city price! The pub is still a very nice place BUT last visit marred by a younger group using excessive bad language ..not nice when ladies are present is it ? ! Management need to curtail this as it disrespectful to customers bar staff ! It deserves better ambiance than... View all feedback.

Went here sometime ago with past owners so thought I would try it again. Not a good experience . Food was really poor quality and the expresso coffee was served...

The White Lion, once celebrated for its quality food and service, now presents a patchy experience. Recent diners encountered an array of issues, from overcooked and misrepresented dishes to lackluster service, including slow response times and disorganized billing. Complaints of loud patrons detracting from the ambiance and a disregard for basic service standards were also noted. However, there remains hope; some patrons have lauded the lunch menu, praising the steak and pleasant staff. While the restaurant offers a charming setting, it must improve consistency in food quality and customer service to re-establish its former glory.
