What fire6441 doesn't like about The Lion:
A rather unusual experience of entering a proper locals pub and not being stared at like I'm somekind of alien. The locals were lovely, the landlord and landlady were excellent, the decor was absolutely beautiful, comfortable, clean and welcoming, but, I went in for food and a beer, the Scallops were some of the best I've ever had in the UK and the fish main was perfect. Well done to everyone including the locals for... View all feedback. What Ash Lovejoy likes about The Lion:
Very rare we leave reviews for places but just wow to this b and b and its owners. Viv and John went over and above for us during our stay. We couldn’t fault anything from the bbq hunters chicken, bread and butter pudding, the love they showed to our GSD, the dog treats, the comfy bed. The list is endless. Viv John are kind, friendly and have such a lovely warmth about them. We couldn’t recommend a stay here highly e... View all feedback.

A wonderful 80th Birthday celebration, perfect space and lovely environment, huge thanks to Viv John for a lovely day and the wonderful buffet.

The White Lion offers a unique and welcoming experience, with excellent food and a warm atmosphere. The scallops and fish dishes are standout items on the menu. While the pub is not child-friendly, the cozy restaurant area serves up traditional and unique dishes with friendly staff. The hosts, John and Viv, go above and beyond to make guests feel at home, with delicious meals and comfortable accommodations. The village pub boasts a lovely garden, perfect for families with small children. Overall, The White Lion is a gem worth returning to for its excellent food, friendly hosts, and charming atmosphere.
