Fish and chips were absolutely vile. Everything was way too salty and meant that the fish couldnโt be eaten. Potatoes and vegetables on all roast dinners ordered just tasted of pure salt; along with the chips. Service was brilliant, but doesnโt make up for the disgusting food served!

10 of us went to the White Lion in Yateley for my sisters birthday. We were welcomed with smiles by all the staff. The staff were attentive and polite, the food was delicious. The real log fires added such a nice touch. If youโre looking for a nice meal and a nice atmosphere I definitely recommended the white lion

Venue for Get-together. My daughter-in law had booked a surprise 40th birthday get together for my Son. The room is semi private, so although out of the way, still easy access to the rest of the Pub. I have to say, the service we received from the Staff was Top Top Class, all meals came out on time, nothing was too much trouble, we only had to ask and the response was efficiency, smiling faces, willingness to please. The right balance between helping but leaving us our privacy too. We had a really lovely evening. Well done to the staff that looked after us, you should all be very proud of yourselves. You helped make the evening such a success. If anyone wants a family gathering and looking for a Venue, I recommend The White Lion, I cannot recommend it highly enough. You will not be disappointed .

Unfortunately the food took an hour to come out. To be fair to the waiting staff, they offered a drink to say sorry, even without us complaining about it. But we had a full drink at the time so didnโt take them up on offer. Then food arrived and my roast was cold. Meat over cooked and everything was bland, cold and inedible. I left feeling hungry, which is never good when youโre eating at a restaurant. The waiting staff took some money off the bill, but still was a lot of money spent for a meal I barely touched because of it being inedible. My husband did say, however, that his burger was piping hot and very tasty. So maybe itโs a safer bet ordering burgers only!

Although a local to me, with so much choice for a Sunday roast, and based on many previous poor experiences, I had not been on a Sunday for years. I am so glad I've given it a go again. Pauline started by helping me put my bike away, great start! I ordered the Turkey breast roast; this turned out to be delicious, excellent in both quantities and quality. Beautifully cooked vegetables and potatoes too. Great friendly service to match. Definitely give it another go if you have had poor experiences before.

We have not been to the white lion in years as the level of service and quality had severely increased. As the pub had over gone a complete overhaul and management we thought we would give it a try. And my goodness what a transformation. The new landlord Paul has certainly worked wonders and turned this pub into an absolute delight to visit. Staff were busy but very attentive to customers, very polite making sure everything was satisfactory. But the food! Out of this world we both had the Sunday roast and itโs one of the best roast dinners I think I have ever had. We will definitely be going back and thank you Paul and your magnificent team of staff for making this pub amazing once again!

Reliable local with a great atmosphere and a decent pint of Tribute. The new benches outside are a great addition. Parts of the building are getting a bit tired, and in need of a clean - the toilets being the best example. There is mould on the walls under the driers, pictures that need taking down, things falling off... and my wife says that the women's is similar (lack of toilet paper can be an issue, too). Hopefully easily sorted for future :)

Went for Sunday lunch .Ladies taking orders lovely .When my roast beef arrived it was bloody gristle ridden and fatty .Cauliflower cheese needed an axe to cut the stalks . I asked for a spoon as trying to put Cauliflower cheese on your plate with your fork is impossible. I asked for mustard AND horseradish and the eyes of the guy went up and body language said "" you are annoying" Sent back the dinner They cut more but by then rest of dinner cold . Never mind my mum ordered a pudding which never arrived . We often go to cowherds in Southampton as my son at uni .Same chain never had a meal like this one and with attitude . Never again

If you are lucky enough to be in there on a day when then head chef is in, YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT! The main was all cooked to perfection, you can select all 3 meats which is amazing, proper Yorkshire puddings which were crispy and fresh. All the vegetables were cooked to perfection and the stuffing ball wrapped in bacon completed the meal. The gravy was super flavoursome and you can tell it was PROPER gravy. They also had an Easter egg hunt on which was a bonus for my kid, the service was very quick and staff were all lovely.

Starter was nice, but rest was awful. Cold veg and potatoes, no check back from waiting staff, no childrenโs menu despite asking twice, colouring offered for our daughter and finally bought over with the dessert, daughter had starter containing cucumber - when requested some more cucumber for her (sheโs 3) was told the kitchen staff were too busy!! Too busy to put some cucumber on a plate!! Only offered a free drink as compensation for cold food. Excuse given was itโs very busy being Motherโs Day - totally appreciate itโs busy but no excuse for poor service and cold food and to be honest a terrible response regarding a request for some more cucumber! Manager didnโt even ask how our experience was and expected full payment, If you canโt cope with a busy service donโt take the bookings. Felt like a case of revenue over quality. Wonโt be back.

Wait staff were friendly and place was nice and warm but the cocktails were weak and the food horrific. Microwaved undercooked lamb that I suspect has given me a bad stomach judging by my experience when I got home (seriously guys, it's not hard to see that the fat hadn't even begun to warm up), and a roast menu that was missing about 50% of the items (alongside being clearly pre-cooked, given the meat came out drier than the Sahara). As an aside, it should be criminal to offer a Sunday roast menu then tell people you're limited on the amount of yorkshire puddings and potatoes you can have. Yorkshires take fifteen minutes to make a batch of - just make more rather than sticking to what you've pre-prepared twelve hours ago. Shame as the desserts and starters were great and the table staff extremely friendly, but the kitchen just seems to be struggling with the basics of seasoning, safety, and stockage.

Have been here a few times now for a quick stop whilst walking the dog, or to stop with friends for drinks and food. Had the 3 for ยฃ10 for lunch with my partner as we were not very hungry, chose the chorizo sausages, garlic bread and hot scotch egg. The sizes were very generous for the price and the food was extremely good, just a shame the dog couldnโt share as they were chorizo ๐. We came again for an early dinner and found a wonderful seat by the open fire, the food we chose was hot, arrived in a timely manner and we were happy with everything we ordered. They have special events on evenings as well and in these nights the pub has a great atmosphere. If you havenโt been give it a go I donโt think you will b,e disappointed. And if you are like me and you like to take your dog(s) with you they are welcome, including there being blankets, water and biscuit treats available if you want them.

The pub had great reviews so we took a chance. However, there were so many items unavailable on the menu, we went on Saturday night, it was ridiculous! They didnโt even have a full drinks compliment. The man serving us at one point even laughed when we commented on the lack of options available. My friend was due to go there on the Sunday for her actual birthday and asked if they might get more produce in the next morning and she said: โdoubtful we have deliveries on a Tuesdayโ. The food they did have was average at best and definitely not worth our final bill.

Yesterday had a family meal at this pub, it was one of the worst such occassions ever, dissapointing because we have previously used the truly excellent and nearby, Golden Retriever at Bracknell, part of same Vintage Inns (Mitchell and Butler) chain. 8 covers booked for 1300, arrived before, it was ages before anyone took a drinks order, even longer before anyone took a food order (why not take both at same time, when ordering is electronic?). No food was served for OVER 1.5 hours (!) from our arrival, even then, it was after TWO reminders and a promise of "in 5 minutes", which dragged out to nearer 15 or 20. The food was adequate at this price point. No more than adequate. The place was not totally full, though there was at least one other large table. One felt sorry for the serving staff, they clearly knew the team's performance was poor. Others were also waiting..and waiting and waiting. Enquiries about the Manager amidst all this chaos. He had apparently "gone home" in the middle of it. My view is, a diligent Manager would have rolled their sleeves up and got stuck in themselves, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. It felt as though junior staff had just been abandoned. Awful, just awful. If you know you cannot give decent service, dont take the booking, or at least warn diners.

My mother and I decided to have our Christmas Day dinner here this year for the first time since she moved here from Hook in March. Every single member of staff on were super friendly, 100% genuinely enjoying working on Christmas day. They couldnโt have been more attentive, nothing was too much trouble for them. I wonโt list individual names as each were unique and just doing a fine job. Then comes the food - 2nd to none. We both chose the same from the pre-order menu. The duo of fish was fresh smoked salmon, mackerel pate, aioli and toast was a generous size and absolutely delicious. The beef Wellington was of a standard Iโve never experienced before and cooked to absolute perfection and the 6 veg and delicious gravy were also perfect. And to finish off the berry pavlova was simply out of this world, and so aesthetically pleasing I just had to take a picture! It didnโt come cheap, but was worth every single penny and we will be returning every Christmas, with some visits in between as well! Thank you very much to all that gave us the best Christmas dinner weโve ever had out, a fantastic team who sacrificed their own day to give so much pleasure to others!

We've ate here 2x and both times the food and service were excellent. The atmosphere is cozy and the grounds are fantastic!

I'd been with my partner a couple times before; July '21 for dinner and Feb '23 for a roast which had both been very enjoyable, both with atmosphere and food and so chose it as the restaurant for my birthday meal with family this year. Now, I'm not sure if it's changed hands in that time but unfortunately, we were really disappointed this time round. The veg was hard, totally under-cooked and the Yorkshire puddings were rock hard and chewy, seemingly microwaved rather than fresh. This means we will definitely NOT be returning for a roast, but also consider eating elsewhere generally.

Would like to thank the heron on the lake for making our evening relaxing and enjoyable, from the moment we got there to when we left, the food was nice and our waitress was very helpful, would recommend coming here as a really nice atmosphere too.
