"Booked for the Sunday roast for my wife's birthday as had heard many recommendations for the White Lion, they weren't wrong, absolutely fantastic food very reasonably priced. Staff were excellent couldn't do enough for us. booked again for the following Sunday :"
Such a disappointing visit. Ushered into the Cow Shed. Zero atmosphere, stressed staff. Asked for water, didn’t arrive. Had to ask for cutlery, food cold by the time we had the cutlery. Food was ok, hot or even warm would have been nice. Asked for the bill, didn’t arrive, went to pay and left. Not asked once if everything was ok, in which case I would have mentioned it. First and last visit. I suspect from overhearing other guests that they won’t be returning. £50 odd hard earned money would have been better spent elsewhere. We wanted to support new owners. I hope things improve in the future for them as they have the foundation of what could be a great country pub. Beef was good (but cold)...
We stopped by for lunch on a Thursday and found ourselves to be the only customers. The owner, a friendly gentleman, greeted us warmly. I was joined by my two children, aged 4 and 6 months in a pram, as well as my mother. He graciously opened the doors for us and allowed us to choose our seating. The service was excellent and he interacted wonderfully with my curious little boy, answering his many questions. The menu offered a good selection at reasonable prices. I ordered the homemade chicken curry, which was delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the rice fluffy and the naan bread was not the typical mini one you might find in a toaster. My son had the kids burger, which was clearly...
We visited today to celebrate our dear friend’s birthday and wow, what a magical afternoon we had. We had booked a table in the old stables as we wanted to be able to sing happy birthday without upsetting other diners with our terrible singing voices. We were given the lovely table in the corner by the fire, which was just perfect. We were served by a lovely young girl, who made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. We all had roast dinners and not only were the flavours incredible, but the presentation was perfection. My partner is actually a chef himself, so he’s not always the easiest to please food wise but he said this is now his new favourite place for a rare day off. The pub is u...
Called in on a mid-week evening for a drink and meal. It was lovely to enter a warm and welcoming hostelry with log fires burning, in both the bar and lounge, where we were seated. We tried the locally brewed Salopian and Stonehouse Brewery ales, which were in fine fettle and then had a thoroughly enjoyable meal, accompanied with a bottle of delicious red wine. We had a memorable evening, which included great company, a warm and cosy atmosphere in a lovely village inn. Well done the new owners!

Typical village pub, but with a 21st century heart. We had excellent food for our party of sixteen, all of our guests were delighted by the quality of their choices and we were all served piping hot food together. All of the staff were polite friendly and efficient. We will return there tomorrow for 'Ash Fest ', an annual music event, with food and fun in an outdoor setting.Really looking forward to a day of fun.
We stopped by this restaurant on our way home for the first time and it certainly won't be our last. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We ordered the Mac and cheese with chicken and bacon, which was amazing, and the local sausage with cheese and chive mash, peas, and onion gravy. Everything was perfect, and it's no surprise that this cozy little pub won pub of the year in 2023. Well done!
the bar area is traditional and cozy with high quality local beer on the tap. we enjoyed our lunch in the restaurant very attentive and helpful. the chef spoke to us before preparing the meal to ensure that all our nutritional restrictions could be met, which is very soothing when it comes out. highly recommended!
What a little gem of a place this is. A typical old village pub which has retained its character. From he moment you open the door you eel the warmth of the place and the friendliness of the staff. This is what a real country pub is all about. Good food to sort all tastes and good beer.

We met friends here for a pre Christmas late lunch. The pub was busy, with a lovely atmosphere a warm fire lit in the bar. There is an excellent range of beers drinks. The gin selection is great! We had a Christmas turkey dinner it was very tasty. Service is excellent too. I recommend.
