The White Lion Walkern

They agreed to take our booking of 14 people for lunch as long as we were there for 12 o'clock, despite having a party on later the same day, which we were grateful for. The menu was on scrappy pieces of A4 paper, most of which could probably have been thrown away and new ones printed. However, there was a good range of beers etc, so it didn't really matter. Not a big range of food, but sufficient for everyone to find something to eat. We were there at midday, we ordered (in three batches) at about 20 past, and then waited. First order came out (which was the 3rd one we'd placed), about 45 minutes later. The last one came out about an hour after ordering. The White Lion burger was good, but the rest of it what we ordered was just okay. We sent back the very badly burnt halloumi wrap (quite how this left the kitchen is bizarre), and the jacket potato with cheese and beans looked/tasted like a microwave jacket and had literally a dessert spoon of beans and a sprinkling of cheese on. We went outside as they needed the room back, and the garden really was a bit of a mess and needed some basic TLC. So, wouldn't rush to return here although the staff were friendly particularly the young lad (12-14 yrs old) who was bringing out the food, and the toilets clean enough.

Awful awful dirty no atmosphere everywhere a mess beer garden broken down. Animals around food. Wont return. Shame as we used to enjoy it!

Not good Sunday lunchtime, asked about GF menu, told it would be basic roast without gravy, Yorkshire, stuffing etc other restaurants do all those.. keep up?????

Called in here for lunch,with our dog. Food was just want we needed after our walk. Very dog family friendly. Clean,tidy friendly staff.

This place has rapidly gone down hill. tacky tacky tacky. rude staff, bad service and whatever they pass for as entertainment. avoid
