Horrid place. Rude old miserable man behind bar with no manners and then we were barked at by a very rude old woman about having a phone out even tho we were paying with the phone.. The beer was decent but the atmosphere horrible!! Never again!!!

Friendly Pub, very quite after 9:30. Really nice to see it as Digital Detox (ie. No phones/laptops etc). Gets everybody chatting. Food is top notch.

Good food, nice locals however not allowed to use your mobile phone inside the pub? Nice old fashioned public house perfect fit if you're traveling alone like I was. WILL BE RETURNING SOON

Recently visited this pub a few times. The lady behind the bar was lovely. Today I brought friends up for a meal. Everything was good except one dessert. Didn't smell or taste good. We went to the bar to tell them and the landlord came over who was extremely rude then all of a sudden the woman from the kitchen stormed in instantly on the defence. Told us she had sold 6today so how can It be bad. Offered us another one. That's it no refund. Shocking customer service and we Recently found this little pub as we have Just moved near by. Shocked, landlord said we need to email the brewery. We already know the catering side is the landlords problem nothing to do with the brewery this happened infront of the children won't be going again

We are two senior ladies (60+) who called in for lunch after a long walk. Whilst waiting for our food to arrive my friend took out her phone to send a brief text to check on her grandson but she had to quickly put her phone away as the landlord steamed over to remind her that phone use is “not allowed!” We had seen the “No mobile phone” signs but to be honest we didn’t think it was serious. We were made to feel like a pair of naughty school girls! As we were sat in a quiet corner we started to wonder how he even knew she was about to text, then we noticed cctv cameras pointing at us from two angles. Not a comfortable experience…Felt like we were on Big Brother! Doubt we’ll be returning.

Absolute joke of a women behind the bar, rudest person I have ever come across made to feel very uncomfortable. You would get more conversation and joy out of a corpse. Never return to this Sh@t hole ….

Visited on a Wednesday the only day it doesn't provide food. Sam Smith's beers which were great. It was a very quiet lunchtime but a welcome couple of beers after a long walk around the reservoirs above the pub.

A Sam Smith pub. Friendly welcome, nice fireplace and open area near the bar. A well enjoyed pint. I would definitely consider trying the a meal out next time I visit as it seemed like a clean and tidy place.

Went in after a walk, paid £8 for two pints of lemonade and blackcurrant, was told that the use of mobile phones was prohibited (not just discouraged) which is extremely inconvenient if you need to check up on family or find your way somewhere, dogs are not allowed (pub located at the end of a popular dog walking route) and children can only enter if having a sit down meal with parents. The establishment seems to be aiming to discourage all young people, young families and dog owners from entering. This seems to contribute to the dull and unwelcoming atmosphere created. I would attach a photo, but the use of my phone would have got me removed from the place, as if I needed an excuse.

Extremely rude woman behind the bar, walked in on my phone and was immediately shouted at to ‘get out whilst on the phone’ not even crossed the threshold of the pub! The People who I was with didn’t even get greeted and made to feel unwelcome. Very unfriendly atmosphere and strongly suggest if your passing.. just pass!!

Excellent home cooked food at very reasonable prices - but take cash as cards not accepted. Also be aware - Sam Smiths pub so no mobile phones can be used inside!

Arrived at 16.35 on a Sunday afternoon to be told by a fairly surly landlord that they were no longer serving dinner. Strange for a pub that claims to serve 12-5pm on the sandwich board located directly outside. Drove up to Owd Betts - better view and much friendlier staff.

Nice pub, called in for first time (walk from Bury via Edenfield Road - Norden) since the lockdown(Convid 19 virus) couldn't believe how dear the beer has become,.. £3-40 for a pint of Taddy's lager!!!!, used to get a pint of Taddy's lager And a coke (for the missus) for £3-30,no wonder none of the locals weren't in, not be going in there again at those scandalous prices, I expected a few pence dearer with the lockdown etc.. But... Come on, don't be greedy breweries, it's not the public's fault you had to close because of the virus .

Landlady was rude to us from the get go, not in the least bit welcoming or helpful. Even if you are having an off day there is absolutely no need whatsoever to be rude to customers, especially in an obviously struggling, empty establishment. The pub itself and toilet areas are filthy. We had originally planned to pop in for lunch but were put off by the sticky tables and general uncleanliness of the place. The selection of beverages is also extremely poor. Will not be returning.

Landlady was extremely rude to us as soon as we walked in. The place was empty and you’d assume that with the current climate they would be glad of the business and at least attempt to be welcoming. They weren’t. We had originally planned to visit for lunch but decided against that after a full 15 minutes of being stared at by the landlady (complete with hands on hips). It’s a pretty derogatory way to be treated and definitely not something we wish to repeat. We left after finishing our drinks and will not return.

Classic British pub, decent pint and great food all at a reasonable price. This place is full of character and characters. The atmosphere is created by the staff and customers, no loud music or slot machines, just good old conversation. Always a plus for me when there is an open fire.

Try the extra stout, knocks spots off Guinness and a fraction of the price. Chilled out old school pub, always worth a visit. Have been in twice with my two young boys and they were made very welcome, the landlord even set them a colouring in contest to help keep them entertained, cheers!

After a lean period between managers, the White Lion is now back to being a brilliant asset for the local community - and a great place for passers-by and walkers (the area is brilliant for hiking). The beers are limited because this is a Samuel Smith pub (there is a reasonable variety, although no guest ales). But it's the food that's really great - Sunday lunch today - a delicious plateful, followed by syrup sponge. And there's a good choice of traditional dishes. Add a couple of roaring fires through the winter and a nice, friendly atmosphere and you've got a great local pub.

A classic pub rather than something over-engineered and hipster. Log fires in the winter, big open area by the bar to keep people mingling and plenty of well priced beers and other drinks on tap. Nice welcoming community feel. Didn't have food but saw a few bits come out of the kitchen and looked hearty with big portions. Will be back.

I ordered a chicken kebab and they sent sheek instead and when I rang they still believed it was chicken not sheek yet said it clearly on the receipt it was sheek so they don't know the difference between sheek and chicken .was disgusting and also ask for ham and mushroom pizza was chicken n mushroom everything that I got wasn't what I ordered don't waste your money

Ordered large chips and beans, gave us large cheese and chips…my partner cannot eat this so we called them up to ask for our correct food to be sent over in exchange for what was wrongfully delivered. They stated that no driver will be coming down, disappointed with this service.
