Had a delicious Sunday lunch today with a party of eleven. Choice of meats was good as were the excellent selection of vegetables. First carvery I been to that served spring greens. Had an adult size roast which gave a generous serving of meat. I had pork and turkey both of which were delicious. This was followed up by a shared dessert of rhubarb and strawberry crumble with custard. It was yummy! The service was good if a little slow at times, but nobody minded waiting. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

If I could give zero stars I would. What an utterly awful experience. Booked a table for Mother’s Day and not once during the booking process (or even on their fb page) did they state it was only carvery. We had a large party including young kids who don't like roast dinners so we had hoped there would be some other choice, even just chips would’ve been good. As there wasn’t, we opted to get them just a dessert each, to eat whilst we have the carvery - something which the surly bartender did not approve of. Secondly, the offer of the day was a free dessert for mums, which could only be obtained after answering a tirade of questions. Honestly it would’ve been easier to just bring along my children’s birth certificates! And back to the bartender’s delightful attitude - I made a brief comment about how I was letting my daughter have some of my free dessert and was told that’s against the rules as it was for mum’s only!! What utter nonsense! Surely it should be my choice whether I want to eat it all myself, chuck it in a bin (which would’ve been the sensible thing to do, considering the brownie was well and truly stale), or give to my kid - it wasn’t as though we were trying to scam the system by getting extra freebies, I was simply sharing what was mine. On to the much anticipated carvery... Totally unappetising is an understatement! The turkey was still pink, the Yorkshire puddings burnt to a crisp, the veg stone cold, the stuffing was just a lump of miscellaneous chunks. Not a single person in our party even managed half a plate full. How on earth they can justify charging £15.95 for such poor quality food is beyond me. After the half-eaten roasts were taken away, some of our party ordered desserts as they were understandably very hungry. After almost 25 mins of waiting for just 2 creme brûlées and 1 child’s sundae, I chased them up and was told they’d be out any second. In reality, it was another 5 mins for the 2 creme brûlées - though again the quality was so bad that the people who had them wished they didn’t! We ended up just asking for a refund for the missing sundae, as it shouldn’t take half an hour just for one scoop of ice cream with a squirt of cream on top! Surely nothing else could’ve been a let down, I hear you ask unfortunately, you’d be wrong. We ordered 2 cokes, which for some inexplicable reason were poured straight from an already opened 1.75l bottle, resulting in room-temp flat drinks which again we didn’t finish. For the price we paid for just 1 of those drinks, we could’ve nipped down to a supermarket for a full bottle that would’ve at least been fizzy. The other lowlights to mention include the dirty cutlery with food debris still lodged between the prongs, the lack of spoons supplied when served a dessert, the expensive drinks (£10 for a G&T is outrageous), the slow service at the bar, the lacklustre decor, the non-existent atmosphere and best of all the way customers were allowed to let their dogs put their heads on the tables! My mind is utterly boggled by all the recent glowing reviews. The only possible reasons I can think of are either the positive comments are all fake, all the staff mentioned in them were off sick, or the previous customers have just never had a decent meal in their life! Had it been any other day we would’ve immediately turned round and left, but unfortunately everywhere else in the vicinity was fully booked. Even though we did leave still hungry and extremely disappointed at least we learnt a valuable lesson: NEVER eat at the White Lion again. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
