"Food very nice but not particularly memorable. The curry portions are very large so I prefer to share number of them with a group. It’s a shame they only serve Thali at lunch so I couldn’t order for dinner. Ambience it’s one big room with the tables spaced out nicely so not too cramped. We had a nice table in the corner. Staff they were pleasant but it was hard to get their attention. It’s one of those places where specific staff are looking after your area of the restaurant so you can’t just ask anyone for something. Overall, it was a nice choice to go there with a group of friends and some good food."

"I made a reservation two months in advance, but when we arrived on time, they told us they couldn’t find our booking. Instead, they allowed a party of six without a reservation to enter. Even after I showed them my confirmation email, they informed us there was no space available. Just when we were about to leave, they somehow managed to find some emergency chairs and seated us right in the middle of the restaurant, despite many empty booths and tables scattered around that remained unoccupied throughout the entire hour we were there. Overall, it was a terrible experience from start to finish. I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone."

"The menu is great, good prices and lots to choose from.The desserts were also very good. Sadly that was our only positive. My steak was freezing cold, fries were hot so that was a bonus. The whole place was freezing, we all ate with our coats on. We received the bill and noticed the 20% discount for January hadn 't been applied. When we raised this he said well you didn 't ask for it and he then applied it begrudgingly. Their Facebook posts advertising the deal make no mention of needing to mention the discount, check your bills before paying!!!"

"I've visited this restaurant multiple times and it usually is a great place to go if you don't have a booking and struggling to find somewhere to go in the area then the staff are really good at squeezing you in. Firstly, the first time I visited back in 2018 pre-pandemic the menu seemed to have a lot more variety and better options and the food was really good despite the service being extremely slow. 3 years later, it seems that the food is now mediocre/ very average and the slow service has gotten a lot worse. I visited earlier in the week with my friend on Tuesday and our starter arrived before our drinks. It took over 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive and we had to constantly pester waiters on the status of our main and drinks. When our mains arrived, we both had ordered the chicken schnitzel it seemed quite bland and lacked seasoning. I ordered the truffle mayo and parmesan fries and it wasn't the best, it seemed like it was a lot better in previous years. This place is OK but it could be so much better if they had more variety and if dishes had seasoning and something interesting about them. Also please do not continue to serve paying customers when you have a big corporate function, the service was unacceptable and whilst I am grateful for not paying for the drinks or service charge we still paid £40 for bad service and overpriced food."

"The decoration was great... That's pretty much that. The food was a tasteless mixture in between cement and disgust. The nachos were horrible, the cheese wasn't even melted at all. After 2 minutes on the table the cheese started to cut up and to form small balls of cheese. When we told the waitress she said that she will pass the message to the kitchen, and that's it. The Mac n cheese had crumps of something very funny looking on top, as long as I remember it wasn't mention on the menu, and to be honest, a pinch of salt would have save it, maybe. The burgers were floating, like literally floating in oil, and the bacon was falling in pieces on the plate. The worst part was that the Yates in front of us was full of people while this place was fully empty, we could have spent our 28 pounds there instead."

"Living locally I was looking forward to eating here for the first time. Overall everything scored highly, the experience was just a bit let down by the service. Everybody working was extremely polite and I appreciate the restaurant was busy but my friend and I waited an hour for a burger and fries each. I’ve no problem waiting, and thankfully the food tasted great but it would be nice to be checked on once or twice or at least acknowledged that there was a bit of a wait. Just a bit more attention to waiting customers and a bit more urgency is needed and it would have been perfect. I’ll be attending again soon so hopefully it was just a one off."

"Lovely decor and a chilled but lively atmosphere. The menu is a Cuban, Havana inspired one that boasts 24hr marinated chicken as it's speciality but unfortunately falls flat on promises of flavour. The sauces and glazes, while nice, only sit on the meat leaving it a little bland once you get through the initial layer. In fact, bland was the recurrent adjective that came to mind for all the dishes I tried including the curry, the rice and the cassava. Nothing had great flavour bar the chicken wings in honey glaze starter. I went during happy hour but was unhappy with the prices at only 4 cocktails being available to choose from and each costing £9 and then the second costing £3. £12 for two drinks from a incredibly limited menu was just not my cup of tea. In fact a cuppa would have been much more welcome! The butterfly chicken main was thin and bland again and for £12 comes with some salad in the form of rocket leaves and a few other green bits but no chips, no rice, nothing. Any of that is extra with refried and sweet potato chips being around £4. Not the most expensive but certainly no bargain. All in all disappointing as it has all the potential to be lovely but sadly falls short on weak flavours and high prices for me."

"Firstly the decor and staff were lovely. They were attentive and had a smile. Everything else was awful and I will not be going back. Firstly, the restaurant was boiling! They must have had the heating on or something because it was unbearable. Loads of people fanning themselves with menus. One woman I saw sit down and after 5 mins left because she said she was too hot and felt faint. The toilets had no loo roll. I informed a member of staff, when my friend went to the loo 40 mins later still no loo roll. So she took napkins in with her. The food was ok. It’s a lot of money for what it is! I had butterfly chicken and chips which with a drink came to £30. I also didn’t think they had a good selection of food either. I wouldn’t go back."

"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."

"We made a reservation for two before a concert. Upon arrival, there was a slow-moving line to get in even though the restaurant was only a third full. The meat barbecue deal we ordered was good, but all the meat seemed to be heavily salted. The beer was reasonably priced at £4.80 for a pint of Brahma, but the wine was expensive at £6.20 for 125ml. The service was good with staff frequently checking on us, creating a busy atmosphere that may suit those looking for a pre-concert meal, but not ideal for a relaxed dining experience. The buffet had a good selection of dishes, but lacked fish options. Overall, it was a decent meal, but the saltiness of the meat was a concern for my blood pressure."

"The restaurant is themed as a Rio Street Food venue and the décor is lively and colourful. The restaurant was not particularly busy when we arrived and we had good service from our 2 waiting staff. Our starters arrived and were delicious, we had the spicy prawns and the chicken croquettes. As we were eating our starters we noticed the restaurant had really started to fill up and that's when the wheel fell off the service wagon! Our main course arrived and the chicken skewer I ordered was dry and overcooked, the sweet potato fries were stone cold and to be fair were replaced quickly. We had to walk over to the tills to request the bill as we could not attract any attention. We noticed people walking out due to the quality of the food and the lack of service. This is a real shame as the concept is very good and the waiting staff are very pleasant but they can't seem to cope when the restaurant becomes busy which I also think is down to the chefs."

"We visited here after a bad experience somewhere else and thought we'd give this place a go as we were absolutely ravenous. We found a table, chose our food and drinks and waited for our order. It looked extremely busy on entry and thought we made another error as team members were flat out on the service. To our surprise our starters came out in good time and our main, and team members were still smiley and chatty even though it was a busy service on our visit. I found the team there very commendable as even though it was a very busy service they coped admirably. The food was hot and very tasty, the tables were a little messy with used plates and glasses left, but would let them off for that. Would visit again if at Gunwharf Quays."

"The food here was absolutely fine. My flame grilled chicken with a malagueta glaze was lovely, when eventually it arrived. Sadly that eventually was an issue; the staff, while perfectly amenable and friendly, seemed very much to take the view that service should be let 's put this politely casual and relaxed, or to put it more bluntly, slow. So on arrival it took an unusually long time to actually be shown to our table, and once there we had to make more than one attempt to flag down a waiter and order drinks (you will see from more unfavorable reviews that this is not uncommon at Cabana). Two of our group ordered the same main course, and one had finished his before the other 's arrived. That shouldn 't really be possible, should it? But we had a nice evening, and I do recommend this blistered padron peppers with lime and salt, but don 't go if you have a show to attend. You 'll either miss the show or not get dinner. Hence the title of this review."

"pho is a great option if you are looking for a vegan clear broth nudel soup and have no time to go through all mother and pop lists to find something more authentic (and vegan.) what is beautiful at pho, they offer at least two vegan broths, one is closer to normal broth and the other is a spicy broth (but tends to be very keen. I was sincerely a bit underwhelmed by both broths at several Pho sites, but they can still add many sriracha and other toppings to their tasting. I love her tofu, which is very porous and holds a good volume of broth in the inner. the phosuppe is with the very thin phonos (not my favorites) and the spicy suppe is with the thick/round noodles, like spaghetti noodles (I love this nudel option.) my general judgment is that is great if they are in an prise or have to find a place that will satisfy vegan and nonveganer equally, as it is virtually everywhere that there is phospie. but I am more inclined to choose a local mother and pop if it is an option. I also found the version that is incompatible with Pho sites."

"The service was absolutely terrible. I was there for a birthday celebration and the entire experience was appalling. Waiters spoke very limited English so orders were being incorrectly processed. Once we had settled the bill, we were not even informed that the sum of the bill was incorrect and a second bill was simply brought out and left on our table without any explanation. No apologies were given for the entire evening."

"We had to stand at the door for 5-10 minutes until someone came over and showed us to our table, it was only half full too. We ordered drinks, then food. Our food came first and we had to ask again for drinks. Food was ok, not amazing. Perhaps that was just the dish we ordered. Slight confusion with the happy-hour drinks so ended up accidently ordering two drinks each. Then when we went to pay we recieved a bill that wasn't ours. Only until i questioned it was our bill brought over to us. All in all, it was a fair price if the standard and service was there. Just attention to detail missing."

"I wish I could write a 0 star review the most ignorant customer service I have ever dealt with. Uber driver stole my pizza ok but the man I rang in the restaurant was beyond unhelpful he was so rude and so aggressive he didn’t care I never received my order because he was closing. I will never order from this restaurant again absolute ignorant customer service and I work in customer service myself so I know good customer service. Sort your staff out it’s a disgrace!!"
