The White Lion

I made a booking for 16 people, put down a £10 deposit per person which I got back promptly after the booking. We were allocated a private room. The food was excellent, having preordered 48 hours in advance. My guests and I were on the clock as we were doing a canal cruise and needed to return a boat promptly later that afternoon. The food came out quickly, was fresh and tasty. Would recommend the White Lion for anyone booking large parties.

Great food, great service. I've never had a bad meal here. Can't fault the roast dinners too. Probably up there as one of the best roast dinners i have eaten out, as they rarely hit the spot. Would recommend

We recently booked the private dining room at The White Lion for a 16-person family and friends gathering on a Sunday afternoon, and it was simply brilliant from start to finish. Kia from the reservations team was wonderfully attentive and accommodating in the lead-up to the event, making the whole process stress-free. On the day itself, Ben and his team took fantastic care of us. Because we were a larger group, we’d pre-ordered our food, and everything was served seamlessly. A lovely surprise was the team bringing out extra Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, and gravy during the meal which was completely unprompted but hugely appreciated. Because it was a beautiful day, we decided to move to the garden, and the staff made it happen effortlessly. I can’t speak highly enough of The White Lion. I’m not local to the area, but my in-laws are and now I’ll be looking for any excuse to come back. Thank you for making our celebration so special.

This is an easy review to write, it's wonderful when you find a new 'go to' place and this one certainly qualifies! Great food, great service and great management. The first time we came they made a mistake with our bill and that was put right and more with free drinks and desserts on our second visit. Thank you Kia, your a credit to the team over there, see you soon!

Amazing Sunday roast! Great service from the manager, Rob, and our server, Freya. The extra potatoes and gravy are also a lovely touch, although I was too full to take advantage of them. My husband had the lamb which he said was amazing too!

We knew this pub from years ago and today we revisited it and very glad we did too: Walked in the front entrance to be met by a beaming smile from Hannah who immediately took control, listening to our needs, directed us to the best area for us and with her staff ordered and served an excellent meal with refreshments at a very good price. Thoroughly great experience with lots of humour and warmth . Looking forward to our next visit. Well Done !!

Exceptional service catering for all 26 of us. Staff very attentive, friendly and professional

Another 10/10 Roast dinner here, best in the area by far… always great service. Had a few requests for the waiter Ben (and waitress but didn’t catch her name ) and chef… all was no trouble at all. This place always gives genuine service and always bring me back. Never deviate for a roast in Leamington as I’m always disappointed. Well done Team White Lion !!

Such a fabulous meal. The lobster special was outstanding. Service is always great. Thanks

Super meal, friendly welcoming staff ... had a lovely evening

Great family pub, garden is kid proof which is great, as i have 3. Great staff very friendly. Fairly priced.

Such a beautiful venue, it completely surprised me how lovely it was. The staff were spectacular helping us select a table, helping us move when it was too sunny where we were sitting, providing real support and insight into the menu, uneven offering me blankets because I'm a baby. The food was fine, though not overly amazing. I wouldn't let that stop you though it was a lovely afternoon, in such a gorgeous back garden.

I have visited this lovely pub several times now, and I haven't been disappointed once. And I haven't found anywhere else that quite matches this place, for service, food quality, cost and atmosphere. The staff are lovely.

We just called in for a coffee this morning and had a fantastic welcome from the staff and what's more we had lovely hot drinks ( not tepid which you sometimes get!) You'll have to try it....we looked at the breakfast menu and are definitely going back!

A wonderful welcome the staff are amazingly friendly and helpful and the food is amazing venue is very nice 😀 👌

Really great food and lovely staff here. We went on a very busy Friday evening and the staff were obviously rushed off their feet trying to keep up. This did mean there was a bit of a wait for food to come out. But it was worth the wait, every dish was delicious (and we are quite picky and judgy when we eat out!). And staff were really kind and obviously doing their best to give good service on a busy evening. The setting was lovely too, dining outside. Thanks for a great evening!

First visit but definitely not the last. The Sunday lunch was delicious and the cauliflower cheese was the best we've had out of all of the many many restaurants and pubs we've had Sunday lunch in. Nice atmosphere, good service, extra roasties on offer 👍 an all round great eating experience with the added bonus of a sunny day to be able to have a drink in the garden

A really great place. Food was lovely, staff were nice. The garden is enclosed and gets the sun for most of the day. Gluten free and Vegan options available.

Popular village pub part of the Peach pub chain which has several in Warwickshire. We did not have a booking but they were able to seat us. An old pub but modern decor. Service friendly and attentive. Good menu choice, which varies by season. Vegetarian choices. Both enjoyed our food, we will be back.

Only popped in a couple of times recently for a drink. Great friendly service, good atmosphere and food looks nice but haven’t tried yet , but intend to do so. Reasonable prices as well👍👍

Best roast I’ve had in years - staff were friendly and the atmosphere was nice

Very friendly staff, good selection of beer. Very clean toilets. Service throughout our meal was excellent. Correspondence during booking, confirmation and reminder Very well carried out. Very large car park.

Superb! Thoroughly recommended. The staff are friendly and efficient. The food is good quality, nice cooked and presented. Nice that you’re offered extra Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes, not that they were required as the portions are ample.

3 visits in a week due to the excellent customer service and fabulous menu. Lived in village 12 years and visited multiple times since Peach pubs taken over. Can really feel a difference with atmosphere, food & staff. Navine & Jacob in particular. Thanks to all, looking forward to trying the Christmas menu:

Have been here before with family. It’s always a lovely experience. Had a lovely Sunday lunch today and not disappointed. I had the vegetarian roast dinner and it was all delicious. Staff come round with extra roast potatoes and yorkshire puds which is a nice touch. Staff super helpful and everything done efficiently. We will continue to come here as it’s always good food and service. Thank you all.

I had such a wonderful experience dining at the white lion Our server, Maisy, was fantastic. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome throughout our meal. Her warm personality and excellent service really enhanced our visit. We'll definitely be back, thanks in large part to Maisy's outstanding hospitality!

Impressive oldy- worldy wood beamed interior, clean and well arranged dining tables. We'll maintained facilities, plenty of parking space and good location / access to the restaurant for all customers. Fabulous menu options for a wide range of budgets, enthusiastic and attentive staff help to make your visit a memorable and fulfilling one.

Beautiful interior and fabulous garden for summer drinks with friends. Ample car parking staff were very friendly (it's a huge area to cover for waiting staff) Food was good (I'd recommend adding a side) if you have a good appetite. Room tempature was chilly a/c was up too high that however is something that is easily resolved. Dirty vegan burger £15.50 Banoffe cheesecake £8.25

Went for Sunday roast, tried the beef and pork, and it didn’t disappoint! The entire place make you feel at home, the staff is incredible friendly, they even come to offer more sides if you are not satisfied, which I thought it was a nice gesture, despite it was more than enough for me. I didn’t have space for dessert, but will need to come for the apple crumble, it looks delicious!

Friendly staff, high quality ingredients and fair prices. Absolutely would recommend anything on the menu, from breakfasts, fish, meat. Great stuff.

Came here on a Saturday evening and got a table last minute which was great. Restaurant was busy but we weren’t overlooked despite this. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The food was also nice, we ordered chips, wings and marmite butter with ciabatta. The only thing I will say is the amount of butter for the bread wasn’t enough and would’ve been better if we had a bigger pot as these ones were very shallow!

It’s newly renovated. Nicely done. Big garden as well, and good fusion with the original Tudor architecture. I just had nibbles. The truffle Mac n cheese was yummy. Pricy for Leamington Spa, but we’ll priced versus London. It was pretty busy- good sign. So be sure to book.

Service was a little slow on a Wed lunchtime, but the place seemed quite busy with larger groups of people. Staff very pleasant and attentive. Prices of food quite reasonable and we especially liked the 2 for £30 on some dishes. The fish and chips looked great. Sadly the beef pie wasn't available the day we visited as most of us would have chosen that. I chose the gammon, egg and chips. I wish I'd asked for peas instead of the rocket salad. The 4 stars (almost a 3 star) was given because the gammon was quite a small portion and a bit gristly. Chips were lovely though. Nice ambience to the pub Would definitely return there.

Had a really nice meal for 2 here. My partner had the Sirloin on the bone which was beautifully cooked and the chips were good. I had the miso cod which I really enjoyed. Thankfully I had some of my partner's chips as it was not a huge portion. We then shared 3 cheese board which were delicious but very small pieces and we should have had one each to be fair. We sat outside in the covered area which was a wonderful setting. The restaurant inside was also very busy as it was Saturday night. Service was good considering how busy they were. It was a really nice evening. The food was overall good quality but not 5 stars as it was not exceptional. Still I would highly recommend a visit

Seems to be a sister pub to the rose and crown in Warwick , as they have the same menu. The food was to the same standard , which is very nice. Absolutely love the cheese souffle! A bit pricey , but I guess the new prices we have to get use to with inflation. Service was good , maybe some of the waitress need a bit more training on some of the dishes and serving drinks 😉😉 Overall a good experience , we will be back 😊

Our booking issue was resolved immediately on arrival, waiting staff were helpful and very attentive

Usual problem when not reserving a table. Got stuck in a side area and the service suffered. £19 for a roast dinner was steep.and it wasn't great. Didn't get the table cleared and had to go and find someone to pay. Unimpressed and will not be returning. Picture of the table remaining uncleared when we left. Says it all.

We have visited the place for the first time. It's very well refurbished. Lovely pergola outside. We have been greeted by a friendly staff. We have ordered our dinner there. The drinks were quite nice. My partner ordered a chicken terrine for the starter which was nice. However, we have been disappointed by the mains and the children's meal (very basic burger, no veggies on the side). My partner has ordered a veggie burger with fries and I've ordered the crab. For the price, we were expecting more for the presentation as well as the sides and taste. The fries were not great. The food was ok. I was also very disappointed by the Tarte tatin as it tastes burnt caramel. We might come back if they make some improvements on the presentation, the portions and the sides of the meals. But at the moment, we will probably come back just for drinks but not for food.

Normally a great place to eat but was disappointed with the food and slow service albeit very friendly. Maybe just an off day for the White Lion

The staff were lovely and helpful. I was there on Sunday for lunch. I ordered roast beef pink but when it arrived it was essentially raw and I couldn’t get a knife through it. My friend had ordered well done and said it was chewy. For £24 I don’t expect top rump. They need to use a far better cut like sirloin or rib. I sent it back and had chicken instead which was very good but not what I had wanted. Vegetables and accompaniments were lovely but the meat should be the star.

I ordered the fish and chips, followed by the apple tarte tatin. The fish and chips are were decent, but the pudding was excellent. The restaurant itself and its surrounding neighborhood was charming. The service, however, was shockingly slow for the quiet afternoon we visited.
