    It was Bonfire night so it was quite lively. I had Bangers and Mash, wife had Mash Burger and the Granddaughter had Duck Leg, all meals were well presented and very nice. It was the first time that the granddaughter had joined, us as it was her Birthday. She was" Gobsmacked ", just how good it was! We were very well looked after inside while there was plenty going on outside at the BBQ and fireworks.

    Our first time visiting, after seeing reviews thought we would give the Sunday Roast a try. Certainly did not disappoint, food was really good - highly recommend adding the cauliflower cheese. The crumble for dessert was very good. Only one thing is we were in the restaurant at the upper level and it is cramped - maybe need to reconsider the number of covers up there.

    Proper food! You could tell this wasn’t the usual mass produced pub food. Excellent service and welcome. Good choice and value. Definitely recommend.

    This was our first visit to the White Lion on Saturday. We were greeted very warmly and shown to our table. The menu was very inviting, and we chose venison pie and slow cooked pork belly, both of which were very tasty. The fruit crumble and custard went down very well too. We will definitely be back.
