"Please don 't be deceived by the beer garden with garden toys in it. This pub is strictly NOT child friendly. I joined a couple of friends there for a bank holiday pint and made the mistake of taking my kids with me. John, the landlord, clearly can 't be around children. He spat his dummy over our kids playing a little loudly in the garden. To be clear, we had the garden to ourselves and were disturbing nobody (except John, clearly). He announced that he 'd already had to tell them off for riding their bikes in the car park , and that if I didn 't control them they weren 't welcome . Don 't worry John, we won 't darken your door again. Such a shame, because aside from the management, it 's a decent village pub."

Came here for lunch today. Made to feel welcome. We had the roast lunch which, as ever, was delicious.. Can’t fault this place. Love it.

John and Val could not be better hosts. Very warm and welcoming learned our names within 5 minutes. Great food, lovely atmosphere, very dog friendly and locals very friendly. Would highly recommend the Sunday Roasts.

Stayed for one night and what a gem The White Lion at Wicken was. Fabulous hosting with delicious evening meals. The breakfast was also a highlight. Our room was well decorated and very comfortable. Looking forward to returning.

I recently stayed at the wonderful White Lion for 2 nights and had a very pleasant experience. Viv and John were amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Viv's cooking was exceptional. Thank you both for a memorable stay. We look forward to returning in the future.

This restaurant was a fantastic discovery and we only wish we could have stayed longer. They are incredibly dog-friendly here, with attentive and friendly hosts. The food was excellent for both dinner and breakfast. The restaurant is located in a peaceful village with rooms that have lovely views of the countryside, creating a charming country pub atmosphere.

Came here for a surprise birthday bash for an old friend, beautiful location, easy to find. Very friendly staff, great selection of beers and wines and the food was delicious, the roast beef was succulent and perfectly cooked, the ham was also fantastic. I wish I lived closer, I'd be here every week if I could. I'll definitely be back, just not as often as I'd like.

The White Lion represents my ideal of a country pub. It 's cosy and warm with low lighting, a buzz of conversation, rustic but tasteful décor and cheery staff. The beers included two of Cornwall 's finest session ales Doombar and Tribute. As for food, the menu is quite traditional you might say 'pub grub ' but that could give the wrong impression. This is well cooked, fresh and generously proportioned.

Lovely pub, friendly staff, good grub! We visited The White Lion as its in the next village from us and thought we would give it a try, we were not disappointed. Very welcoming landlord, the place was spotless and clearly set up well for covid rules. Service was swift and I had the mussels as a starter EXCELLENT! The lasagne as main was lovely as well we were too stuffed for pudding. Overall a really good find for us and we will definitely return! Great local pub thanks guys!
