The White Lyon

We saw a sign outside advertising Dim Sum from 12pm to 2pm, so decided to try it out. It was very quiet as not many people seem to know about it serving Dim Sum - also available in the evenings from 6pm (Sundays all day from 12pm). The food was really tasty and we had a nice personal service as it was so quiet. I hope more people decide to try it out as it was very nice. Maybe people are not all aware that Dim Sum is Chinese food. They use a tick-list style of ordering, which is very easy - we chose 3 steamed Dim Sum dishes, along with Chow Mein & Rice to share, probably could have managed a curry as well (might try another time). Would definitely visit again!

Nice meal, restaurant obviously relatively newly opened and they’re just trying to find their feet but owners were really friendly & service was good. Food was impressive, clearly cooked fresh to order & far better than your run of the mill takeaway Chinese food that most people would compare to. Looking forward to our next visit.

Pub & restaurant look great after being refurbished & when we visited the place was immediately clean. The atmosphere was friendly & there seemed to be a mix of locals & people visiting from further afield. Tony & Yan the new owners were really inviting, even putting on the TV for our son who was with us. Can’t wait to go back & try the food - it all looks amazing! Great to find a local pub thats not been turned into a Co-op - we need to use places like this, an independently owned restaurant & bar as nice as this is a rare find.

Whilst in the past it has spiraled into a pit of terrible quality drinks and disgusting food it has since reopened under new management. The owners are inviting and the food quality has dramatically improved. I asked to see the kitchen beforehand as a precaution and they happily obliged. What I saw was a pristine working area with quality ingredients to make fresh food as ordered. I highly recommend that people go and see for yourselves with how much it has improved over the past under the new owners.

The White Lyon and Dragon is simply the most delicious food this side of Myanmar. What makes this fusion of gastro pub come trendy Tai club truly special is the wine list. Over the course of our three meals here we have been amazed by the quality of the selection. More often than not these wines are on the recommendation of the manager Richard, who will always happily offer these up with a humerus story of their origin and a tasty desert. We where very suprised to read negative reviews on the restaurant's service, as we would consider this a strong point of the establishment. I can only imagine they read and responded to their criticisms. From scrumptious starters to delicate deserts, The White Lyon and Dragon offers great atmosphere. I recommend the Massaman with a glass of Falanghina.
