The White Lion

Seem to be less and less old fashioned pubs around so it was nice to stumble across the White Lion. The pub has a nice quaint and cosy bar/dining area and the service is very pleasant. The carpet looks a little dated, but adds to the charm a bit. Good range of drinks available with several beers on draught. I ordered a bowl of chips which were more like potato wedges, but still very nice. Other meals are available and all seem very affordable. I sat in the beer garden which is in a nice setting.

Visited this place whilst in the area and did not know what to expect. On entering the pub, it displayed the Cask Marque which for me tells me this place knows how to keep it's beer. An excellent choice of 4 ales were on offer. 2 of which were local. A large menu of home cooked food was available with a number of specials. The food came in large portions so you definitely won't leave this place hungry yet the quality was high. A children's menu was also available which included an ice cream. Home made chips are worth a mention. All more than fairly priced. The interior was classic pub and this was complimented by a large beer garden with roaming chickens. Plenty of parking available too. The staff were very friendly, making us feel welcome which added to an overall great Saturday lunch.
