"This was my first visit to The White Lion since its refurbishment. I’ll start with the good. The refurbishment has been tastefully done and has improved the pub, and staff were lovely and very helpful. However the food was a major disappointment. Two of us ordered the grains and greens salad. When it arrived it was tiny, it was in a very small bowl, we were amazed they could call this a main course salad. If we had ordered it as a starter or side dish then it would have been acceptable, but this was supposed to be a main course It was called a grains and greens salad. Well, there were plenty of greens but you had to search for the grains. One of the salads was ordered with chicken. There were three tiny pieces of chicken on it. We did order side dishes with the salads but were tiny too, the Mac and cheese took two or three bites to finish! We did complain about the salads and our server said that there had been similar complaints and that this was the portion side the pub owners had told them to serve. They did offer us complementary desserts, which was a lovely gesture, but hte salad should have been a lot larger to be called a main course dish. Two of our party ordered the skewers, the portion size for these was marginally larger than the scalds, but still in the small size. For this started sized plate of not much more than lettuce I was charged almost £18!!! This was not value for money. Both of us who ordered the salad left hungry and disappointed. I have eaten main course salads at other pubs and restaurants and they have always been substantial main dishes, not stater sized small bowls. The other meals that were ordered were slightly better, although the skewers weren’t very substantial either. I will not be returning to the White Lion for food, and wouldn’t advise anyone who is hungry , or who doesn’t like being over charged to do so either. All of our party felt the food was very overpriced for the quality and quantity, and none of us are in any hurry to return."

"I would have loved to rate our dining experience at the Ivy House a lot higher but we were to leave somewhat disappointed. The dining area was pleasant and intimate with well appointed decor, the waitress and waiters pleasant, polite and attentive. The varied menu looked very appetising with most tastes catered for. We chose two courses from the main menu, the Duck Breast and a Fish Dish for myself. Contrary to other reviews we were to wait over 40 minutes before the food was presented to us. We were not advised of any delays or even the expected length of time we might have to wait. The food on arrival was well presented and flavoursome although I did not consider two small stem broccoli spears a serving. I also asked the waiter why there was no Samphire to accompany my dish as stated on the menu, this comment was also reinforced by a fellow diner who ate the same dish just prior to me. The waiter advised me that he would ask the chef. I did not receive a response to my question during further table service and subsequently asked the waiter again. On returning the waiter advised me the chef said “he will try to remember to put it on next time”, a somewhat disrespectful comment. The Cheese platter we were presented with was lacklustre and sparse, quince jelly and a small dish of chutney being the predominant feature. For ourselves we did not feel that our dining experience represented good value for money."
