What Benjamin Campbell doesn't like about The White Lion And:
Lovely atmosphere but like a sauna, couldn’t wait to leave. The roast was disappointing, small and dry. Such a shame when you have great staff and atmosphere but bad food. Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 View all feedback. What Keeley Parker likes about The White Lion And:
Went here for a club Christmas party, there was 42 of us so quite a large party. The staff at the White Lion were fantastic. They were attentive, enthusiastic, smiley and seemed to really enjoy what they do! The food was great, we had the festive menu, great selection to choose from, very well cooked and tasted amazing. A few dishes were a little more warm then hot however the staff and kitchen dealt with this quickl... View all feedback.

We get to visit this place once a year normally over the Easter weekend. The food is always good, service is good and great atmosphere.

The White Lion offers a mixed experience. While some praised the festive menu and attentive staff, others found the food uninspiring and overpriced. The atmosphere was a mixed bag - from beautifully decorated for Christmas to a noisy environment. The hospitality was appreciated, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. Overall, a hit-or-miss spot for dining and social gatherings.
