Food was very average, my salad had some ingredients missing. Ran out of Prosecco glasses so was served prosecco in a wine glass. Very noisy inside and sat in front of a window with sun beating down on us. Won’t be in a rush to return.

Food was fresh and delicious and staff were attentive, I had the Harissa Cauliflower steak and when I finished it I was thinking how soon I could go back to eat it again!! It was that good! Others in the group had Fish and chips, Sea Bass and lamb, all were very tasty although I would say that I advise an additional side dish with the lamb.

The venue is lovely. The atmosphere friendly. But some chairs are higher which wasn’t fully suitable. The service was poor. We had to call a waitress over just to order the first drinks. Main meal was lovely. Portion size was ok. Had to beckon the waitress over after waiting 20 minutes for the dessert menu. Dessert was nice but wrong. Was told it was summer berry crumble and apple was served. And again staff were not to be seen To pay the bill. So whilst we had a pleasant evening, the service let the place down.

I attended this restaurant with a friend and was pleasantly surprised as to how lovely the interior was. We both order roast lamb dinner with mint sauce. The dinner arrived within 3 mins which is quick by anyones intentions. Thd food was hot but quite clearly microwaved to ensure speedy service. The potatoes were bland and rubbery. Anyhow we had to ask for the mint sauce as none arrive with the meal. It took us about 15/20 mins to eat our meal and the mint sauce never arrived. When the waitress brought it over we pointed at our empty plates and she walked off with disgust as if it was our fault. Surely the sauce should have arrived with our meal???? We both had a sticky toffee pudding dessert which was perfect

The Sunday Roast (Sirloin of Beef) was absolutely outstanding. Top quality and excellent value for money. In these days of Brexit, Covid and Ukraine war hospitality has been hit very hard and the three areas of quantity, quality and value for money have often taken a hit. The White Lion scores highly on all three. Thank you WL!

I think due to the economic situation the White Lion for a Sunday Lunchtime wasn't very full....compared with two months ago I couldn't reserve a table...we had only a main course and a glass of wine...I think at £8:00 the Desserts were well over priced that were bought in....eg An Apple Crumble....The service was good by very pleasant girls and the food was up to expectations....The seating arrangements on some tables for two were very close and uncomfortable.

We chose the restaurant for vegan options Vegan choice ordered but when arrived no sauce as sauce not vegan although stated VG Dry cauliflower steak If this had been stated before we would have chosen alternative option.The sauce of yoghurt and mint could not be that difficult to make. Service and other meals very good.

This was our first visit to The White Lion and we will most definitely be returning. The first thing I noticed was that every member of staff, whether serving you or not, acknowledged and smiled at us throughout our visit. The service was great, the restaurant is outstanding and the food is absolutely exceptional. Can’t believe I live only 15 mins away and I’ve never been before. Can’t wait to return (again and again :-)

This was our second visit to the White Lion,on the first occasion we really enjoyed our food as a party of 9 people this was excellent on all counts, but yesterday the food was disappointing, 3 had Roast Beef of which the beef was quite fatty and stringy, roast potatoes were hard but the veg and gravy were delicious. We will think twice before we return for Sunday lunch considering we had all travelled quite a way to get there

Music was too loud, we couldn’t hear each other talk. It would have been better having the music bar side and a more quiet atmosphere while eating. We found ourselves rushing our meals. We ordered the steak which was lovely but the chips were undercooked and too oily. Service however was fantastic! The bar side was much more quiet so once we finished our meal we sat there for a more chilled atmosphere.

Very disappointed with the main course. I ordered braised leg of lamb which was with some red cabbage and mash. The lamb came in a cup size mound of shredded meat which was very dry with no taste. First time visiting since the refurb, not a good first impression.
