  “Had a brilliant experience, the chefs Gary and Tony really excelled with the baked scallops and the duck special was delicious, honey on the bar kept the ashahi flowing which was crisp and clean. Top notch guys well done”

  “We have been twice in three weeks and cannot fault the superb service and beautiful food. Plenty of choice on the menu. Had different each time with starters. We tend to come a little earlier for dinner, as it’s a little more quieter. We got the best service from Chloe she is Amazing, very attentive and always asking if everything’s ok, she just genuinely cares about her job. Good on yer Chloe for going above and beyond. Food is spot on, the chef Mitch is very good could not fault. All in all coming back again and highly recommend The White Lion.”

  “Food was incredible and nothing was too much trouble for Sophie our waitress. She took the time to go through food allergies and find alternatives. As well as making sure the littlest one at the table had everything she needed. Will definitely be back again!”

  “Went into The White Lion, a lovely historical country pub in Allesley on the outskirts of Coventry. It was early afternoon and four of us went for lunch. It is a lovely welcoming place. There is a very good choice of beers, wines and spirits and the food was lovely. It was very well prepared and presented and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Also the atmosphere in the pub is very good, no loud bumping music, so we could chat and enjoy each other's company peacefully. Do give The White Lion a try, it is highly recommended. 👏”

  “We visited The White Lion last night and overall had a really pleasant evening. The food was very tasty and well prepared, and we both enjoyed our meals. There was a good choice on the menu and everything was nicely presented. We were a little unsure at the very start as there was no one at the bar when we arrived, and another customer next to us was quite dismissive and unfriendly, which made things feel slightly awkward at first. However, once the staff came over, they were genuinely lovely, welcoming, and pleasant, and they quickly made us feel more comfortable. Service felt relaxed and unhurried, and the friendly attitude of the team really stood out. Overall it turned into a nice evening and we’d be happy to come back again.”

  “Come here last night and was pleasantly surprised by the food we had and the service we received. The menu had a wide variety of options & was quite difficult to settle on a decision. The sticky platter i shared to myself but definitely needs a side to go with it. Everyone's food was exceptionally tasty & was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The drinks were good also. Puddings had to many choices & so I had to settle for the trio of puddings and safe to say I made the right choice cause each dessert was sublime. Gina who served us, I hope theyre paying this woman good money because she deserves a lot of praise as she was friendly, attentive & knowledgeable & not only that tried to ensure we were well looked after at all points. Definitely recommend coming here if you enjoy good pub food, albeit its not actually just pub food.”

  “We had another great evening out here at the White Lion on Friday. Mark, Gina and the staff here were friendly and very accommodating.. Very pleasant comfy seating with tea light candles on the tables for a that more personal and romantic meal experience...❣️❤️❣️ The food was fresh, tasty and came out very quickly even though there were many people dining. Very pleased with our evening out so will happily return again soon. Great job guys and ladies (D)”

  “We try many places for Sunday lunch, and this was the most expensive one in a while. It was also by far the worst. Honestly, I don't like leaving negative reviews, but this was particularly disappointing. Had I been asked about the meal when we paid the bill, I would have said plenty; as it was, they didn't seem interested, I suppose. The food was served mainly cold. I had the plate sent back to be warmed up, a full roast with cold vegetables though, how does that leave a kitchen? I was offered a fresh plate, for some reason, but I just asked for the food to be warmed. I also told the waitress that the roast potatoes were 'almost cooked'; they were chewy, small bullets with a greasy texture, and were about 80% cooked. Horrible. The beef was suitable for soling a stout shoe, nothing more. The turkey was dry beyond dry, and the tiny triangle of belly pork, though OK to eat, was laughably small. The tiny jug of runny gravy was surprisingly nice, but I needed to ask for more, which was fine. £22.95 for this food is outrageous. The place wasn't busy, and I think I know why.”
