The White Lion in Nuneaton and Bedworth

Another lovely afternoon with great food

Ignorant bar worker, place was filthy soulless.never to visit again.

Place as new owners a young family. .the food is very good . places needs support so they can make the lion. a great pub and food good atmosphere is good when they have a events on very popular plenty of parking. Oh Yeh very large selection of draft and bottle to choose from.

Great Local Pub. Was quiet on Boxing day but well worth a visit

No heating on ,not good food plates cold some food cold no customers

Very friendly landlord and landlady, always make you feel welcome and have worked hard to build up a nice community atmosphere. Sunday dinners are excellent and the landlady's homemade cheesecake and pavlova is to die for. Would also definitely recommend the curries on a Thursday evening, excellent authentic punjabi cuisine.

Not been inside for years and years now but I must pay them a visit soon

Really nice starter Bacon and Black Pudding Stack very yummy and well presented. Large Roast Dinner ,one beef one chicken exellent roast potatos ,a full size pig in blacket and a good selection of veg and plenty of gravy. Didnt manage to leave room for a sweet ... next time. The White Lion has a good size garden with a play area . The young couple who are running the pub have made a really good start in makeing this pub a success .

Great beer, great food, very friendly.

Good friendly bar staff and a very clean pub

Toilets worst I've been in, staff friendly

Really nice burger options, 2 very very good boys and karaoke, it's great x

Fantastic friendly pub with some great outdoor entertainment and a fantastic selection of beers, cider and shots.

This is a great pub. Recently under new management and it shows. The couple who run it are friendly and we have eaten their a few times now, Including their new burger menu and it was refreshing to see fresh food served this way in a pub. The Sunday lunch was great too, the pub has a really warm family feel too it with a party atmosphere at the weekends. We have also seen a few singers here. In summary it's what pubs need to be now with a mix of good food, good choice of drinks and entertainment. So glad this place has been given a new lease of life.

Great place. Nice beers. Needs more customers.

Great pub. Watched a great Rock band, "Johnny & the Rockers" . Monday.

Amazing. food served Amazing atmosphere amazing prices Will def eat there again rap being local :-) .

The meal Sunday Lunch was lovely and great value for money although we did have our doubts raised when the barman didn't know what a bitter shandy was.

Nice clean well run pub beer is a bit expensive can add a lot to the price of a meal

We used to visit very regularly Wishing the new people good luck in their new venture Been in recently and will revisit in New Year Friendly people

Brand new people (a nice couple ) took over the Lion in the past few weeks. I’ve been in a few times and see they are slowly and surely turning the place round without fuss and stupid promises. Had our Sunday dinner in there last week and have to say it was excellent. You had to Pre-book which is fair enough as they explained they are building up the business so why spend so much money on stock. Really good home cooked meal so definitely will be back and brilliant value. 3 courses for £13. Well done and keep the good work going !

Under new ownership. friendly,welcoming staff, lovely sunday roast. Great atmosphere Quiz night on a wednesday always a giggle.

Fantastic night! Had such a good time! Entertainment was on point... well done Jack Alexander.... beautiful vocals as always. Will deffo be back very soon xx

Came here for a meal and some live music. Food was no more than ok, no live music and the beer was not the best. Lesson learnt.

Just had a nice meal friendly staff and a nice welcoming pub recommend to anyone that wants pub food

Eat here on a regular basis! The food is delicious! All fresh and home cooked! The lamb shank is one of my favourites! The portion sizes are huge at exceptional prices! Marc the chef goes out of his way to accommodate you, if it’s not on the menu do not hesitate to ask! Keep up the good work guys

Visited The White Lion Again Today The Ginger Staff I Think His Name Is J Was Very Rude. Didn’t Have Any Respect For His Team. He Was Very Blunt And Didn’t Want To Help And Didn’t Look Like He Wanted To Do His Job. Nice Beer Garden Good Band On. Does Good Meals. Would Recommend Certain Staff Are Told About Manners.

Came to try the new menu, had Hunters chicken and homemade chips, food was spot on and the service was just what you’d expect. Highly recommend to anyone for a family meal or a friend get together!!

Good vegetarian options on the new menu. New staff and family friendly atmosphere. I had the tortellini with parmasan shavings and homemade chips. My friend had gammon, chips and eggs. Absolutely delicious, highly recommend!

Went to the white lion with my family coudnt be be any happier with the service and food!! Warm welcome defintely come again and recommended friends also family.

Visited the white lion today with a friend I found the meal to be of excellent value for money ,plenty to choose from the menu including home made chips .the manager and staff were very friendly checking that everything was to our satisfaction

Very nice place very pleasant an homely

Visited today for a Christmas meal with several other Foster Carers. Food was ok. We paid £10 deposit each. We spent £200 plus drinks. Was asked to pay the balance before today. Never heard of having to pay the bill up front before. I disputed this. It was agreed we would pay remaining bill today. One person was ill so couldn’t come. Despite the pub having her £10 deposit we were expected to pay her remaining £5. We found this atrocious !! We won’t ever go there again !M

Decided to give it another try now it’s been taken over by new owners. Wasn’t disappointed. Soup was lovely. Sunday lunch was really nice and hot and so much better than we last come when it was inedible. Good variety of vegetables. Great news as this always used to be a favourite of ours. Hope you do really well you deserve to.

Well recently thought that I would try the food again as the last owners didn’t do to good And I wasn’t disappointed the starter was lovely home made pat’e we lovely the roast beef was delicious and the roasted potatoes cooked to perfection and puddings we all had well try for yourself you won’t be disappointed I’m now using the pub regularly as I was avoiding it the new owners are very polite and talkative about time we had some young owners Well I’ll go now but give it a try

Excellent food ,fast friendly service. All our meals were first class, quality food, could'nt fault anything. Will definitely be back.

Pub under new management,give it a try,excellent food and very friendly staff

Very clean and Friendly pub Nice staff I would like to visit one night .

Nice little pub but when i went barmaid was quite grumpy

Went for Sunday dinner had a poor excuse for a starter then 1 and a half hours later the dinner turned up! Peas looked old, mash potato had a kind of skin all over it where it was left under the light, 3 burnt roasties aswell! Sent the dinner back and left.

Have had many a fantastic Sunday lunch here in the past but after a negative experience we thought we would try it again to see. Have to say we were a little disappointed. Would have been nice to have had a better choice of vegetables and also would have been nice to have had some roast parsnips. The meat was ok but the gravy had an aftertaste which I think was wine. It was average.

Just ordered drinks when two customers decided to have a very public argument . Bad language and threats to each other. We cancelled our order and hurriedly walked out. A bit rough for our liking and would not consider returning any time soon.

Got in just before 7 p.m. The three of us had steak and chips. Very tasty and good value. The food was hot and the steak was cooked just right. The Doombar ale was very good as well.

Lovely steak, reasonable prices.

Great place with great staff and amazing food

Good home cooking and nothing is to much trouble for the head chef

Recientemente reformado muy bien el personal amable. Desgraciadamente, la comida era muy mala.

Llegamos justo después de las 6 en una fiesta el sábado, el bar tenía unos clientes habituales pero no hay nadie más para comer. El menú era típica de un bar pero de precio un poco por encima de la media local. La comida fue decepcionante por el muy pobre verduras judías verdes eran incomibles, duro y sin sabor. Decidimos no riesgo del desierto y a la izquierda

The white lion is a lovely village pub with food served all day and lovely home make chips and food.there is a paying area with bouncy castle when warm a all round great English pub.

Went for mothers day, pate starter was ok but the cucumber was dry and like a crisp, definately not fresh. An hour later and the main had not arrived, so we asked for it. 5 mins later it came, cold i mean really cold and roasts were like bulletts so we sent it back and left. The cutlery was also dirty.They also had the cheek to charge us £18 for starter. No appology for the poor service and food.They had ran out of veg so no choice beans or peas.The landlady needs to learn to smile and appologise and the landlord needs to get his act together instead of stamding around talking and blami g all the staff for their poor food and service.

Well we waited for an hour for our main after the starter the food was cold when it came out and they only had peas and green beans And when I sent the food back they still charged for the starters and no apologies for the food or the time it took Not very good at all we will not be returning to this pub again

I think that the last 2 reviews are bit unfair I was there with my wife and her mother the food was absolutely to die for,presented well and was really nice and hot.a good selection on the menu where there was a 4 meat selection all to which was cooked to near perfection and the deserts just finished a lovely day I will be back .Well done to all the staff as I know it was really busy at the time I was there .All the best for the future and thankyou

We popped in yesterday having never been in and were greeted with a warm welcome from friendly staff and locals alike. The beef melted on the plate it was that soft. The Roast Potatoes and veg were a plenty. We will be back very soon.

Popped in for a sunday lunch and was welcomed and found food and service to be very good for price, since the first trip I have revisited and found general consistency good beer is also kept well although a little short on Real Ale selection.

The best pub food I've had in a long time nice portions presented to a high standard and cooked the way I ask and the new chef wore some amazing trouser which put a smile on my face.theres a very good selection of draught beers and bottled beers.bar staff were polite and attentive I would definitely recommend the white lion to everyone.good luck to the new managers and the team see you again and thankyou.

Popped in for a quick drink and something to eat to find out it had new owners. They were great nothing was to much trouble and the food was amazing so glad I went in. I will be back again soon thank you

One of the best home cooked roasts I've had in a very long time. Great Value. The Roast Potatoes were amazing, I could have ate them with gravy on their own. Service was excellent, polite, friendly and prompt even though the resturant was clearly very busy. I will be back very soon. My Thanks to Chris, Imojen and their team.

is an excellent place to spend your time out.with very good food and value of money .friendly staff nice and clean as well.

had an amazing start to christmas with the family opening presents together and sharing christmas dinner here thanks for the amazing food and service again

My family had the worst ever Christmas Day meal today they paid the deposit plus the full amount and staff were arguing that they had not booked, they did not have a table ready, and no discount was taken off

An excellent meal in the White Lion. There was 4 of us and each had a different meal and we all found each meal very good. Thank you to the chef and the staff. Will highly recommend

The service was second to none and the food was beautiful I can honestly say that was the best Sunday dinner we have had out for a long time, the beef on the Sunday dinner was melt in the mouth even my two young children could cut it with a butter knife superb

every time we cist for drinks or to eat they treat us like family and today's food was amazing the Sunday dinner was out world from family members and was only out done by the chefs amazing specials the belly pork was best meal my sister ever tasted and her husband said the Barnsley chop was a dish he never forget keep up the good work service and food amazing thank you again for making us feel welcome special and appreciated

We went for a week day meal, after a personal recommendation. Three of us ordered beef pie and one chicken pie. All food was red hot when served and the pies were fabulous lovely crust, tender meat and great flavour. The kids were happy too. Nice for Bulkington to have somewhere serving tasty reasonably priced food locally.

Sunday lunch - the pate arrived with just plain untoasted bread, which was a disappointment. The chicken goujon starter was literally 5 chicken dippers (obvious from the shape). I had the beef which was lovely and tender, my family had the gammon which was average. It was a shame it all came with microwave mash and frozen roast potatoes and frozen Yorkshire pudding. Just spending that little bit of extra time preparing their own potatoes and Yorkshire puddings and not using frozen items would make a massive difference. The price is very reasonable but I would rather pay more and have freshly prepared food. The Prosecco was also expensive for a local pub, £14.95. The staff were lovely though and nothing was too much trouble. We all left feeling very disappointed.

Squeezed us in at the last minute on return from a mini break. Friendly atmosphere, good food and we'll kept beer.

I went hear for Sunday lunch and it was very busy and I was made very welcome and got a table straight away the Sunday lunch was amazing the best I have had in a long time definitely be visiting again

Fantastic place and warm and friendly service and great food. With a great garden to relax afterwards

Have been here several times over the past couple of weeks...my boyfriend with some friends for Sunday Dinner, me with my friend in the week for a catch up and both of us together tonight. At no time could we fault the food or the service. We have recently moved to the village and very happy to find somewhere that has decent food cooked just right. Service is friendly, food is faultless and it's a perfect village pub! Would recommend!!

after visting several times with partner took all family for sunday lunch found food amazing especially the blade of beef and outstanding value for the money and even when especially busy on the sunday the speed of service and quality of all the meals made it even more special day with family

After a few months away, we wanted to enjoy the high standards we were used to. A change of management has seen a dramatic change on the plate. Sunday dinner felt like it all came from a freezer and the pate starter that was served with sliced multi-seed bread that was UN-toasted was a clear sign to us that something was wrong. When dinner had arrived we simply did not eat it and paid our tab and left. Dramatically gone downhill, really disappointed!

This is one of my favourite pubs around this area, I don't come here often but when I do the food has always been well cooked and tasty. I also like the atmosphere too. Perfect for Sunday lunch or a last minute meal.

Some places know how to prepare decent food. That's not one of them. The soups were heavenly scrumptious, and after them the meat was "just" pleasant, tender and juicy... It was a dinner to remember. If we ever come to this part of England again, there's no doubt where we're gonna eat!PS staff was friendly, place was nice, prices were decent and main portions were bigger than we could've possibly managed. But who cares about all that, when their food was just sinfully magical?!

Food is to die for the t-bone was the one i've ever had and very welcoming all round love it and we will be eating here more often Just try for your self and see

Food was good I went with three friends and all meals seemed good and what I expected for the amount of money they cost.

The food and service deserved more than a three but not quite a four. Attentive service, decent well cooked portions at a fair price. Vegetarian sausages were very good. Would go back.

To look at the White Lion you would think of just a local pub. It seems to have been converted from a spit and polished pub to an eating pub but still is for the locals.We had a Sunday dinner and for what we paid you couldn't argue about our meal.All in all the meal we had and what we paid I would give this pub a 4/5.

OMG this is the second time coming here for food and to be honest it has to be one of the best places for food. Staff are very helpful and friendly too. Its a real pleasure to eat here.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon as a group of 9 for a birthday meal. Staff were very friendly and offered advice about the menu. Food was lovely. Will definitely visit again.

Looking around for somewhere to eat in the vicinity and took a chance on this place.Turned out to be a good choice. Food was excellent, as was the beer.Staff were very friendly and attentive.Will be returning sometime in the future.

The White Lion is under new ownership, so it is always interesting to see what changes have been made. There were two of us and we had a choice of where to sit. The service was good and also the food, well cooked and excellently presented so we had no complaints at all.We were glad that we had gone early as it became very busy later on.The only thing which concerned me was that the staff were all in black, very sombre: white aprons for the serving staff and chef would look a lot better.

After many years of trying to find a nice local place for to have a meal, we tried the white lion after a recommendation and we're not disappointed.The food is amazing, the staff friendly and welcoming and atmosphere is relaxing.We will be very regular visitors now that we have found this place.Keep up the good work!

We went to try the White Lion after hearing it was under new management and we were not disappointed, the food was second to none and the staff were really friendly and helpful, this will certainly not be our only visit.

outstanding food from presentation to taste which was complimented with friendly smiling service over and amazing dinning experience and will be visiting many more times

Popped in for a light lunch and had a sharing platter of chesses and savouries. It was delicious . The wines are first class. I can thoroughly recommend the Rioja. Friendly local pub that isn't at all off putting to non regulars.

Well presented and tasty food. Good choice on menu. Found it to be quite expensive if going for 3 courses and wine.

Thought that this looked like a typical English pub to have a few drinks and dinner. Walked in and there was a very bad stale smell in the whole place. The place was very tired looking. The beer was flat. Thought better and left without eating and left half a beer.

We went for meal in this pub after reading positive reviews on Tripadvisor. The food was great and we will come back in future.

Used to be excellent, but a big change since last time with a poor menu, and below average food. I would not recommend for lunch unless you just want cheap pub grub.

We stumbled across this pub when searching for somewhere to have Sunday dinner. Very very pleased I found it! The waitress was lovely and attentive. The food was very well cooked. Starters were delicious, best gravy and cauliflower cheese I've ever had. Massive portion of food! They even wrapped up our left over meat for our dog. Such good value for money. When we are next in the area we will be visiting again

Great food and atmosphere. Topped off with warm and friendly staff.

Contrary to my previous review, (June 2015), this visit was in complete contrast; a real disaster.We should have known on walking-in, when the Specials Board had on it " All Day Breakfast 12-3pm" and "Sausage and Mash". The Menu was pathetic; a few standard 'Pub Grub' items including Grills. Where was the inspired menu of our previous visit.? Has the pub been taken over by a new Brewery.? Is there a different Chef in charge.? The Waitress was very evasive of our questions but knew we were not happy; so much so, she refunded one of our meals. Considering there was only us two and one other couple dining, the food took about 40 minutes to reach us.The meals were well cooked, well presented, with chips in their own individual metal frying baskets. Nice. However, we will not be returning shortly, but will keep an eye on other Reviewers comments.

I came in with my partner as a new customer, I was greeted by a young women who seemed very happy and she was extremely welcoming. After sitting us down she got our drinks and took our order. she never stopped smiling for the whole time we were there. However, I did overhear someone else complaining about the food (in a rude manner), but the situation was dealt with very professionally by this young girl. We shall be coming back again very soon!

We came here for Sunday lunch -this was our second visit. The food was delicious as always. Fancied cider - the fruity ones but didn't stock own preference - when moved to the whiskey, didn't have that either. Never mind. Good service and worth a visit.

We have been to the white lion a few times for meals. They are excellent quality. The Sunday dinners are superb. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. We will defiantly be going back! ☺️

We had pretty good steak dinners here - but the staff were pretty awful - taciturn , slow and basically useless. Drinks forgotten, orders missed , coffee served cold ?? Perhaps it needs to go self service

Excellent choice of pub food, very pleasant staff always very attentive, quality food at the right price.

Food good reasonably priced friendly staff couldn't be more helpful nicely decorated.Go there every week,What more can I say!!FANTASTIC.

Went in for friends for a evening Friday night meal, steak was very dry and chewy, staff were rude like they have there regulars and don't care about new customers, took ages to get a drink because regular customers are served before you even if you have been waiting a while. Will not be returning very disappointed!

The White Lion in Bulkington has a good selection of food, including a daily specials menu .A well-presented local pub with attentive staff. They accepted a walk in booking for a table, would suggest you do book as it appears to be very popular even on a Thursday evening it was very busy. The pub is located within the village with ample parking around. The meal we had was delicious Pork and blue cheese pie which was well presented. The pub is nicely decorated which adds to a nice atmosphere for dining.
