"We stopped into The White Lion for a quick bite while driving through the area, and ordered two chicken sandwiches and chips. We waited nearly an hour to be served, the sandwiches where mainly maionese with a tiny piece of cold chicken, the bread so stale it had already crumbled into little pieces and the chips where stone cold. The waitress brought the food out asking sheepishly if everything was ok, clearly embarrassed to be serving such poor food, and agreed when we said it was awful. Hands down the worst food I have every been served in any pub or restaurant – and ‘trying it on’ when food is so visibly inedible is an insult to paying customers."

Booked a table for food, for 3 adults and child for dinner. Turned up on time (4:30pm, 4 and a half hours before the kitchen closes? . Got told they aren’t taking anymore food orders. Had to find somewhere else with a table, with a hungry toddler in tow. Can’t really understand why they didn’t just call and say sorry we can’t do food, rather than us turn up, pay for parking, then send us away. Really weird. Can’t really give any stars for that Food: 1
