Florian Wehnelt ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dear Team of the White Lion, we visted you two weeks ago and it was amazing. The service was nice and very fast. The food was very tasty. The drinks were very good and local. The atmosphere was a bit touristic, but that was okay. Definitely a recommendation! Thank you! ☺️
Denis Poruban ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great experience! A traditional British pub with excellent food – perfectly cooked and seasoned. We were served by the lovely Ivana, who was very friendly and attentive. Wide selection of beers, wines, and other drinks. Highly recommended!
Jose Luis Gonzalez Gamboa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We went up to the Nicholson’s dining (same place). The food was delicious and the staff were super friendly! They received us super warm and welcoming. We order a beef pie and cheese burger, both were of the bests meals I had in UK, the burger was super juicy! Thank you guys for having us !
Paul Schmutzler ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The White Lion was built in 1888 and was truly enjoyable. Most places don't serve lunch or open until noon on Sundays. If you are in Covent Garden on a Sunday, you should visit the White Lion. Harry was our server up stairs, where food is …
Tim Montemayor ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent. Caring service, really good food, and the whisky is flowing. Well priced in a lovely area. The staff were friendly, prompt, and made really smart recommendations. The fish and chips are excellent, flaky, soft, and flavorful.
Leo 263 ⭐⭐⭐
Totally average. Not bad at all but nothing great either. If you are hungry and in the area, it’s not a bad option. I wouldn’t travel or make a special trip to come back here. Service is friendly and what you’d expect at a pub. Maybe slightly more than what you’d expect.
