White Lion - Menu

My Partner and I frequented the White Lion when it was run by it 's previous owners; however, it now has 'personality ' and is worth a visit.

This used to be the worst pub in Essex, but since the new landlord has taken over it has become friendly and busy with a small range of well-kept beers.

Been in here a few times since the landlord Brett took over and he has turned this pub restaurant into a very friendly and comfortable place serving good food and beer. Highly Recommend

We have been visiting this excellent pub for quite a few years, it has been under new management since 2016 and as far as we are concerned it has been changed from a Good Pub to an Excellent Pub .

We visited here as part of a group of 11. They knew we were coming and it is best to book a table but we did not pre order food. We all enjoyed what we had though thought the service a little slow but it was Saturday lunch time. Good pub atmosphere and the beer was also goo.

We have just had lunch to celebrate my mother’s birthday, we went for the special chicken leak pie which I could only have had two pieces of chicken in the pie if it hadn’t been for the fact we were celebrating a birthday I would have complained there and then , I’m giving it three stars because my husband said the beer was good

What a lovely fibe, first time visiting on recommendation of one of our group. Great food, perfect chicken pie, pastry top and bottom, crmbly pastry packed with tasty chicken and bacon, lovely crunchy chips and quality peas. Followed by a gorgeous sticky toffee pudding and custard. All served by friendly staff in lovely surroundings. Very reasonable prices as well

Called in the White Lion after hearing new Landlord had turned the pub around. Received a very warm welcome on arrival and could tell locals were already returning. Good selection of Ales and lagers on offer including Timothy Taylors Landlord. There are a host of interesting black and white photos on the walls showing the history of the area including the pub's links with the Peasants Revolt and Wat Tyler .If you know the area check out the photo of The Five Bells (now a Harvester) with the Essex Union Hunt meeting outside.
