The White Lion in Chiltern

It’s a shame the new Asian menu didn’t work out. We have tried it several times and it is just not serving authentic food. The outside is now looking shabby and the beautiful hanging baskets are no more. The outside area is covered in weeds. It’s a shame I’m sure the main aim here is to turn the site into flats.

Gone down hill. Not really a proper pub anymore. A real shame as it is in walking distance for me but doubt I'll go there again.

Nice atmosphere, really enjoyed the vegetarian paneer curry. Great value, excellent service. Definitely will be making another visit .

Good food, apart from the steak states that it comes with peppercorn sauce and it didn't come until we asked for it. The witness messed up the order, plus when we asked if we could order our pudding so they came out with the kids, so we can have it out the same time. But she got the kids and didn't come back to order the adult puds. Just left us waiting. Wasn't the best that we had service wise. The food was good

I have been several times to the White Lion and now twice in a week. The three course meal we had for a 50th celebration was excellent value for money. I had the perfect vegetable samosas, salmon and the chocolate sweet was amazing and could be easily shared with three others. The Ritz would happy serving the sweet up! Ro gave remarkable service as did her colleague. Good selection of wines too. I went back the following week and had the samosas which were again superb.

A week before Christmas and the food was excellent. A perfectly cooked ham hock and two seasonal burgers later we had no room for desert.

Lots of space, clean and Christmassy already. Drinks/Food on the more expensive end of the spectrum but it is Amersham…. Nice staff. Would return

This is a nice pub. The staff were welcoming and interior is lovely. The prices are high! Not overly busy on a Sunday evening.

Welcoming staff, great service and good food and drinks. Been regular at the pub for the last 5 years and it has always been consistent with its standards

I was invited to a quiz night with some friends, really entertaining quiz master and extremely informative and friendly staff, gerry looked after us all and told us about future events, we will be coming back.

Great pub. Called in several times last week when working in the area. Staff friendly and welcoming with good choice of food and drinks all at a reasonable price for the area. Plenty of space to sit and watch good selection of sports on several screens or just chill.

I came in on Sunday for dinner with friends and to watch the football. It was very busy and the staff handled it very well. A young lady, I believe her name was Gerri served us drinks with a smile and was very friendly. Food was good. Would definitely come back.

We booked a table of 9 to celebrate a birthday and were really disappointed. We came in and were pointed to two tables not together so had to push them together, no cutlery on table etc. We then waited for some time before having to go to the counter to ask if we could order, we were told they were on their own and could come and take the order if everyone was ready. Cutlery dropped in the middle of the table. We then waited 10-15 minutes for the drinks to arrive (it wasn’t busy in there) and were asked if we could distribute our own drinks out, one drink was forgotten and we had to go and order at the bar, the food arrived some of which was dry, and a lot luke warm, again a meal was forgotten and we had to wait (although they were apologetic at this). No one checked if anything was okay, it wasn’t. Booked based on previous reviews, and although we originally would have stayed for dessert after our experience we paid up and left.

Food was cold . Took almost an hour for it to arrive . Very poor . Bar service was the best part of the experience. Don’t understand why it took so long for the food to arrive when the place is quiet .

We were disappointed at the appearance of the pub, and the loud music as we entered did not appeal. However, the music was turned down when I asked and the food was excellent. We had a mixed starter which was very well cooked, followed by meat pie and fish and chips which could not be faulted. The Eton mess was good and the cheesecake was okay but a bit heavy on the coconut. The service was not fast, but we were very busy chatting, so not a problem. The soft drinks were not cheap, but the food was very reasonably priced.

The pub is a well presented, modern and comfortable facility with a good selection of beer, wine and spirits. The only thing that lets it down is the quality of the food. We were advised when we ordered that there would be a delay on the food, however our starters came quite quickly but the main courses took over an hour, which is excessive by any measure. Also, the quality of the food was quite poor with many elements of each dish dried out as if they had been held under heat-lamps for an excessive time. We will certainly re-visit but will not be eating again. It is a shame as we had great expectations of it being a good alternative local dining venue.

Was actually really surprised about how lovely this pub is inside. The staff were really attentive. Although I didn’t eat the food looked lovely. As it’s not far from where we work we all said we would come back again! Thanks guys

I will start with the positives. Well decorated and bright interior, very welcoming atmosphere with friendly proficient staff. Good selections of beers, wines and spirits. Food however was very poor. I had the Hunters chicken. A piece of flavour free chicken was covered in a sickly sweet glutinous barbecue sauce which stuck to the teeth, other ingredients were tasteless. My wife had the seafood pie which contained six small pieces of unidentifiable fish. My whole meal tasted like a poor quality frozen meal pinged in a microwave as did my wife’s meal . We were hopeful, as we living within walking distance of the pub , this pub would be a alternative location to eat. We would return for a drink but not to eat.

Slow service and food was burnt. My son had a burger and it was at great! My other two meals were ok but my sons food made us have a bad experience. I will however try again in the future.

I came to The White Lion with my friends, was a great atmosphere with the Sky Sports, and the Grill Night promotion. I had a Mixed Grill and it was the best meal I’ve had in a pub for a very long while! I was served by Nick who made our visit unforgettable, giving us table service which was not expected! He made our night unforgettable! Cannot wait to visit again. Thank you, White Lion :)

I say surprisingly as I have lived in the area for 50 years and always skipped past this pub as it doesnt have real 'kerb appeal'. It's on a busy road. But appearances can be deceptive and inside it was very nicely done out. The food was excellent and the best value around. I love the idea of a bottomless sunday roast! The drinks were varied and overall we really had a good time. We would go back. PS the two staff - two chaps - were excellent as well.

The food was excellent couldn't fault it. But it was a hot day and we sat out side and we was overrun with flies and wasps. May Suggest some citronella candles be put out on the tables. Kind regards

Matt was the best bartender I could ask for Made my experience so special Couldn’t do enough for me and my friend 100% recommend Give this boy a raise

Fairly standard pub food, but numerous menu items not available on a Monday evening. However they did inform us before we ordered that all pies, salads and other specific dishes were not available. The chicken burger I had was very good though, as were the...

Having not seen my daughter for over a year I chose a ride out and a small dinner and drop her off. On my drive I noticed a well lit, clean and very presentable building. I pulledin the spacious car park and went in, greeted...

Looked forward to Sunday lunch at this pub. Very disappointed that all vegetables cooked from frozen, not a fresh item in sight. Coffee unimpressive. Nice warm & friendly place for a drink, but will eat elsewhere in future.

Once again visited the White Lion for the live sports channel and recieved a very warm welcome from Pete and Gerry who looked after us and made it a very enjoyable evening.

Had a lovely visit yesterday, once again the Roast dinners were fabulous, children’s menu hit the spot for the 6 year old, and one member of our group had Fish n Chips. All throughly enjoyed the visit.

Another great evening in the Whitey watching England vs Hungary and being really well looked after by Geri and Pete well done guys.

Great place to have a few drinks on a Friday night! Great service from Vic and Heather - check it out if you are passing

Few of us popped in for a couple of drinks after work only to find out it was grill night, some of us had the rib-eye steak which is great value for £9.99 and good size steak the mixed grill looked amazing to everything was...

Nicely decorated and pleasant but they won’t serve you food unless you book days in advance even though they don’t seem very busy. Takes away the spontaneity of popping to the local pub for food. Shame.

We have visited this pub a few times over the years. With the new staff that are now there it is better than ever! It is always clean and tidy with a very welcoming atmosphere. Myself and my daughter had breakfast today which was absolutely...

Came in for Sunday rost with the family, it was AMAZING. We got given extra roasties and gravy free and it was the roast I’ve had in a very long time. Much nicer atmosphere than it used to have and the garden is now lovey

Popped in a few times, the place is always kept clean and tidy. Love the atmosphere and staff who are always friendly and kind, big shout out to Vic and Nick who always go the extra mile. Keep up the good work 🙂

Was in town for a wedding up the road and dropped by for an evening meal. Very welcoming and friendly staff, lovely food, good value for money and a lively but chilled atmosphere. We had a lovely evening - thank you!

We're regularly seen here playing quizzes, watching sport and catching up with friends. The staff know the regulars by (and by drink which is always a good thing 😁) Friendly, quick service and a great atmosphere always. The staff make the pub and this place...

Me and my friend came here to play the quiz and have some dinner. The food was excellent and service was also fantastic, thanks to everyone at The Lion!

Been in for food and drinks a few times recently and each time it's been excellent. Can't fault the quality or the service. Nice to have a local that is usable again

I don’t usually write reviews but felt like I had to tonight! The staff were absolutely brilliant. Friendly, fun and welcoming.

Apparently under new management and unfortunately they have a lot of work to do to get anywhere near our previous experiences. Food used to be great, now it's just OK. Service started off friendly but soured when we asked for the excessively loud speakers to...

Yes ot is dog friendly but it isn't kids friendly, Yes it has a beer garden but nothing for kids to do, so much so that there aren't even basic things like pen and paper for drawing. Please don't ask me again for my children...

Popped in for a drink and a spot of lunch while Passing through Amersham , never been here before but will be back. Great service and food and plenty of free parking

Delicious roast beef with all the trimmings. Found myself envious of my friend's dish of cauliflower cheese. Wonderful device and both members of staff were very polite and friendly.

Popped in for a couple of with friends, good selection of beers and the burgers are spot on, really friendly and welcoming staff will definitely be back

Great food, great customer service. All the bar staff and chefs are fantastic. Very clean and tidy pub Highly recommend!

I came for some drinks and food, although seated outdoors in unfavourable weather, the staff were friendly and enthusiastic and made our night fun!

Visited recently for drinks with friends,you can see the difference straight away! Beautifully done beer garden ,friendly staff and the new manager Heather,what an angel! Would definitely recommend to everyone as I honestly think this place deserves some credit! Well done guys,keep it up and...

Served by someone who honesty did not have a clue what they were doing. Did not know what drinks were available, what food was available, and printed the wrong bill. How embarrassing- people are competing for jobs at the moment and what with there being so few available and they have filled out this place with morons. The food was also pretty substandard. Up your game

Service; wonderful; the young man who served us was friendly and prompt. Food; the tomato and basil soup was delicious although the bread was on the stale side.Drink; the coffee was awful! No taste whatsoever!The real downer for me; the cuttlery was plastic! The knife fork, spoon and napkin arrived in plastic wrapping! Very cross about this as I avoid using plastic as much as possible. Don't quote COVID as an excuse White Lion as your dinner service was china; it would have to be washed and so you can wash the cuttlery too! Industrial dishwashers wash at very high temperatures (and your waiter confirmed this when I asked) so be responsible and ditch the plastic! When you have, I might consider returning!

My wife booked a table over the phone for us & our 2 kids to come & eat during the eat out to help out 50% period. She was told on the phone that it will be very busy but to dont worry just say we spoke to "Woody" on the phone when we come and we will be sorted out. Usually when we book tables we are asked for our details but this did not happen, the man on the phone didnt even ask for a name she had to remind him he may need it. When we arrived at the pub surprise surprise when we told told the lady at the bar we were here for our table she asked for our name which wasnt on the list. She asked if we are sure we booked because all the tables are fully booked & there is nowhere for us to sit. Luckily a group of people left a few mins later & we were told we could take there table & that someone will come take our order soon. After a very long wait we eventually waved someone to our table to take our order, they served us a round of drinks and then brought the menu over. We were then told 80% of the menu was unavailable with no sausages no burgers no chicken no fish & no pizzas. If they had taken our details down we could have been warned in advance and we wouldnt have bothered coming. In the end we ordered a selection of starters as we already had drinks, but the food took over an hour to come, if we knew how long the food would have been wed have drank our drinks & gone elsewhere. This place has the potential to do well, but didnt deliver

Sandwiches are often never spoke about.Let’s change that I’ve just had an amazing Hand and Cheese toastie. It may sound simple but that’s OK What you may not realise is that it still takes effort to do it right and right does not do it justice. If you are hungry but not hungry enough for a scrumptious burger, then have a toasted sandwich instead, trust me, you will not be disappointed with your decision and o highly recommend you give it a try.it comes with fries and leaves and when it arrives on your table, you be surprised at how great it looks.

What a wonderful find! Food amazing service very friendly. Good COVID-19 ruling in place super organised and easy to follow. Nice new local for us!

booked a table with a view of the screen to watch the football 3 days in advance. All confirmed up. On the day we were told they dont do bookings and we didnt have a table despite having a confirmation email. Confusing. Ordered food and was told there was no chicken, fish or scampi left which is very poor for a Saturday at 4pm. Ordered double beef burger. One patty was raw. Nothing special about any of the food. Overall very disappointing.

The food wasn’t that great we had to keep asking for things the pizza didn’t have enough cheese on top most of it was tomato sauce, sausages and mash was good but it didn’t come with onion rings when we asked they come out with one bowl when we had two sausages and mash the burgers didn’t came with bacon inside the burgers we had to ask again the drinks was great

Me, my husband and a few friends came in To the white Lion pub for a meal earlier in the week to enjoy the 50% off scheme that the pub is doing. We ordered at the bar from the lovely young lady on the bar (I'm afraid her name escapes me) but were told there were quite a few options not available. I understand that it is busy so you wont always be able to have everythibg on the menu, but there was rather a lot you did not have. However the young girl explained this and we chose our meal. Then, as we sat down at our tabble, all we could hear from the kitchen was swearing. We were only sat a few tables away from the kitchen and unfortunately it was busy so we couldnt move. The swearing was non-stop and happened for well over the first 10 minutes we were sat there. It was a man in i would say his late 40s in there, and i couldn't believe how volatile he was. There was a tray thrown across the kitchen and also i saw the same guy shouting at the members of staff on the bar about a food order that was placed. Eventually after our food came after a long wait, I couldn't believe it when I asked the person who brought us our food if that was normal behaviour from the chef and i was amazed to be told that thats in fact the general manager of the pub. Me and my friends were in amazement. I do not want to get any one in trouble but we were told that was only just the half of it and they said they're not allowed to say any more than that or they would get in trouble. I hope someone in an HR position or at head office sees this because I do not think that this kind of environment is nice for young staff members to be working in under somebody like this, especially with covid going on at the moment. I want to give a special mention to the lady that served us because she was professional and so polite, but the evening was completely spoiled by hearing the F and C word every few minutes and other general shouting and tantrums that you would expect from a toddler.

I'f you haven't tried the vegan burger yet, may I say that you are missing out.Don't let the word vegan scare you, this burger is full of flavor and will leave you feeling thoroughly satisfied and I highly recommend you try it on your next visit.

Had an evening out with friends from work. Very authentic feel, clean, service was great..very friendly and with good food at reasonable prices. All topped of with an excellent selection of drinks to enjoy in the beer garden! Definitely recommend, perfect for friends and families

Come here if you’d like:Going to order at the bar for everything but most others getting served at their tables. Locals perhaps?Enjoying the choice language from a family of chavs who come near you when you have just started eating. You have been warned.It’s a pity as the good was ok, but couldn’t enjoy as we just wanted to leave. Glad that gov scheme is on !!!

If you love your burgers the I highly recommend the spicy chicken burger. You won’t be disappointed 🤓

Well presented lovely food that doesn't cost the earth. Great decor and great service. Would definitely eat here again if in the area.

We had a table of 10 booked for Monday night at 8pm, and would firstly like to say a big thank you to Nick who greeted us when we arrived and informed us that there was a food option that wasn't available. The food was very nice, I had steak which was cooked perfectly how I like it (Medium-Well). I've been in before but not since the new menu was launched and the addition of steak is a great choice. I am very surprised to come on here to see a negative review of the staff, who dealt with an incredibly rowdy table that night very well. We were sat on the table next to a group, and they kept going up to the bar to order many drinks and were causing quite a racket. Me and my friends were trying to have a quiet peaceful meal (which again I have to say thank you to Nick for moving us to the side of the pub that the quiz wasn't) but were frustrated that what looked like a group of teenagers/young adults constantly shouting and giggling hysterically (don't think they could handle their drink clearly). When i went to the bar to order another drink with my meal, I tripped over a phone charger that they had plugged in, charging their phone, which they just laughed about. However I did notice on their table at that time they had some empty plates, so not sure the food could have been that bad (ours certainly wasn't as we all finished and enjoyed our meals). Just as we were finishing our meals, the staff brought them over many desserts that they had ordered too, which I'm not sure why you would order dessert if the food was as bad as they say. As I came up to the bar to settle up for the food we had ordered, a few of that table were at the bar ordering more drinks when one of them asked for a Double whiskey, her friend said she couldn't afford a double but insisted on ordering it anyway and adding it to their tab. It's not easy working in a busy pub, my son works in one and you can't always clear empty plates and glasses straight away especially when there is a busy night like Quiz night but I have to say I thought the staff were excellent, they dealt with these rude customers very professionally and politely from what I saw and were able to give us a great night in difficult circumstances. Will be back again soon.

Very underwhelming...food was poor, the pizzas were served undercooked.The staff seemingly can’t understand how a tab works as random drinks that weren’t ours were added to the tab.For most of the time we were there, the two men were who were working were stood behind the bar doing nothing. Given that there were a huge number of things that need doing, including a lot of empty glasses being left on the tables around the place, this was surprising to say the least. The service was just plain rude from start to finish. I’ve been to all the pubs around amersham and this experience was different from all the rest in that it was shockingly bad...avoid.

Came for a catch up with friends, worst food and service I have had in a long time. Two gents behind the bar were just rude, served undercooked food. This could be such a good pub, needs a serious investment in staff training and an attitude readjustment.

Had Christmas Dinner with 8 friends on Thursday. Service was excellent, drinks good as always and the food was really, really good. We have visited monthly for several years now and so far have never been disappointed.

We visited this lovely restaurant as a family and I have to say from start to finish the experience was amazing friendly staff and the food was out of this world large portions great value for money well worth a visit
