The White Lion - Table reservation

What a very pleasant pub! We had not visited for many years and decided to it was time to ‘give it another go’. The dining room was very pleasant, the beer was excellent and the menu, if not as cheap as many, was quite interesting....I had their home-made steak mushroom pie, which was a good size and packed with meat. Mercifully it was a proper pie not the oft-presented casserole with a puff-pastry lid! All the meals ordered were well cooked and well presented, though we didn’t go for the rather more expensive options of loin of lamb or hake. Overall, it was an excellent experience (apart, perhaps, from the ubiquitous piped music) though upon request it was turned down off might have been be...

Just had one of the Best meals we have had for years (and I know we haven’t been out much recently but it was AMAZING The mains were truely delicious with the duck and beef being the favourites clearly freshly made and with very...well cooked vegetable and sauces! We made room for desserts and the sticky toffee pudding was divine I think it might be one of the best I’ve ever tasted! The prices were so reasonable we questioned the bill! We had had a lovely night at Stourhead and would highly recommend you visit here afterwards as less than minutes away! We hope to be back soon as many other dishes we would like to sample!

warm, warm wein, expensive chips for a tiny part and stressed, untrained staff. we were asked to stop our and year old game with a mini football in mini-garden, as they had a "no ball games" policy. the garden was. empty bar some people playing boulle at the other end. it seems a little bit nasty, because we didn't go to the main beer garden to be respectful of others, and there was no one where we were. if non-existent customers are happier than a family that had already spent in an hour, then no probs, but it is not a surprise that pubs close week after week when the decision-makers are as out of touch as here.

It was such a treat to be out after so long in lockdown and the White Lion certainly didn't disappoint. The garden is well laid out with tables and a really attractive space to dine in. All staff were very efficient and friendly and food...was excellent. Between us we had bread and olives, a burger and chips and chicken supreme with bacon in a stilton sauce. The chips were the best we'd had in a long, long while really crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We can't wait to return. Thank you so much to all at the White Lion!
