   Fantastic food and very nice and polite staff. would highly recommend. Only issue is they asked if we would like salt and pepper, which we did, but they never came back with it...

   The food was not as good as the last time we visited. The calamari wasn't a salt and pepper version as stated on the menu, just normal batter, which was also very, very greasy. The young girl who was our waitress obviously needs a lot more training. Hopefully, she is new to this role, as she was clueless. Please give her the training she deserves.

   Went to the White Lion for dinner last night & pleased to say it was back to how it used to be. The ambience, decor , service & food was all good. Met & spoke to the new owners Brandon & Lucy and wishing them every success We’ll definitely return again in the near future

   Although service very attentive the food was very disappointing- fish was dry inside the over cooked batter , gammon so over cooked was very chewy, Out of the 5 diners only 1 thoroughly enjoyed & that was the Mac & Cheese I was celebrating a birthday & staff obliged with bringing out a birthday cake.

   This pub/restaurant is once again under new management. However nothing has changed. The service was very slow and the food was cold. We have ordered starter (shared platter) which arrived fairly warm but mains were completely cold (burger, steak and warm Mediterranean salad). Even my espresso was cold. What a waste of time and money.

   My wife and I and a friend were once again warmly welcomed to the restaurant. The service was very good and we enjoyed our meal very much.

   Massive improvement with food since new management in place. Everything was lovely. Would recommend and return Only grumble was the poor lighting up the stairs but this is being addressed

   Some friends and I went to the pub quiz at the white lion and had dinner there. It was our first time there since the new owners had taken over and we were very impressed. The food was served quickly and was delicious. There was a good choice. The landlord and staff were very friendly. The only, very tiny, negative was the paintwork on the walls was a little tatty in places and the toilet could do with a bit of a refurb. Overall though it was great and we'll definitely return.

    5 of us had the roast trio, everything was cooked to perfection, service was impeccable and the home made desserts were delicious. Best homemade crumble and custard made with fresh fruit. The chef(s) do a great job and Brandon and Lucy are great hosts. We were there for 3 hours enjoying the lovely relaxed atmosphere. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu.
