We have just had lunch to celebrate my mother’s birthday, we went for the special chicken leak pie which I could only have had two pieces of chicken in the pie if it hadn’t been for the fact we were celebrating a birthday I would have complained there and then , I’m giving it three stars because my husband said the beer was good View all feedback.

The White Lion, a beloved pub nestled in the charming village of Fobbing, has transformed into a delightful dining destination under new management. Guests rave about the generous portions of delicious, homemade Sunday roasts, paired with friendly service and a warm atmosphere. While some have noted occasional delays during busy times, the overall experience remains positive, with many praising the quality of dishes such as sausage plait, and syrup sponge pudding. With beautiful garden views, cheerful staff, and a welcoming vibe, it’s easy to see why patrons return time and time again for a hearty meal.
