The White Lion is a lovely thatched country pub, now fully restored with cosy snugs in the old beamed building and a sunny eatery opening onto large covered terraces and a secluded garden.

They have a beautiful garden at The White Lion which is where we had hoped to eat. Unfortunately, the sun didn’t shine today and we asked to move inside, which the staff happily accommodated. The only negative point was the time taken for the food to arrive but when it came it was very enjoyable. The staff acknowledged the delay without us complaining about it; this was greatly appreciated. Definitely recommend.

We had a fantastic meal at The White Lion! The pie and mash was absolutely delicious, hearty and full of flavour. Just the kind of comfort food we were after. Big shout out to the lovely Australian waitress who looked after us so well — she gave us brilliant food suggestions and was genuinely friendly and welcoming. I wish I could remember her name! Highly recommend if you’re after great pub food and warm, attentive service!
