Booked 2 x table of eight side by side but when arrived we were all on a long table making chatting hard from one end to another.Having said that is the only negative.....The staff were well trained in there job and very attentive.The food was fantastic and the portions were huge.Every one of the family loved there time there.The menu has something for everyone and while some may think it's a tad expensive I certainly didn't given the size and the quality.We were in the restaurant and the decor and the ambience was great.Five stars from me and would recommend to anyone.

It's a pub. Serves good pub food. Huge servings and inexpensive.

My wife and I had just flown in from Australia and by 5pm were struggling to stay awake. We chose the White Lion from previous experience and we're glad we did. By 5.30pm was full. 2 appetisers followed by Meat Pie and Chips for me and Fish for my wife. 3 pints of lovely Ale and a couple of glasses of wine for my wife. £33 for the lot. A bargain and the quality of the food was good. No foam, no sous vide, no nitrogen. Just good Pub Grub.

Wow!! I had the chicken fajita and my partner had the gluten free haddock. Food was amazing we will definitely be returning. Recommend booking a table here before arriving as the venue was very popular. Staff were attentive and had a gluten free menu available. This venue is also dog friendly with a dog menu with treats!

After remembering how much I enjoyed this pub we visited again for lunch. Let's hope I dont leave it as long between visits again. The pizzas have always been very tasty and did not disappoint. I also thoroughly enjoyed my sundae for dessert. I left feeling very full indeed.

Called in here for a breakfast on a cold morning after a walk! Breakfast was delicious with more than enough to keep me goin until Teatime! Staff were lovely, polite and very helpful 😊 We sat outside with a heat lamp over us and cushioned seats....perfect!

This may seem a bit strange to say but it is far easier to give a damning or critical review than it is to give one that contains nothing other than praise and compliments! We were a tiny bit concerned given that they have a lot of reviews and some of the more recent ones have been a bit variable. However, we are grateful we decided to visit. We were greeted very politely and shown immediately to a spacious outdoor pod with a decently powerful overhead heater (this was given a test when there was a sudden blustery gusting few minutes of wind - full marks for the heater). Great outdoors seating and pods - all very neat and comfortable. Service throughout was pleasant and done politely with a smile. Right through to settling the bill everything was carried out efficiently and happily. Not to forget the reason for our visit the food was good quality as well as being served fairly speedily and absolutely piping hot. They even had french mustard available - which is a test of the quality of most pubs or restaurants who serve meat dishes. There, obviously, has to be one issue which was the chips were rather puddingy - rather more boiled than deep fried! After all of this the toilets were absolutely spotless and fresh smelling but the single electric hand drier in the gents failed to work. Overall full marks for ambiance, atmosphere, staff efficiency and food quality. Thanks.

Lovely place. Reasonably busy Wednesday evening without a booking and seated straight away. X food/drinks delicious and service with smiles. Had to go to reception to get cutlery, and 2 other tables around us had to ask for cutlery also, so that was the only point to make, but not an issue.

Been on a couple of visits now. Once for a birthday breakfast and today an impromptu visit on a cycle ride. Both times the staff were really friendly and the service, food and atmosphere were excellent. Will definitely be planning more visits here.
