Our first time in as a group and we were made to feel welcome by our host, Hugo. We ordered the fried fish, the non vegan burger and the Irish steak and kidney pudding. One sticky toffee pudding was shared among the three of us. My dining companions who had the burger and fried fish ALWAYS have the same in every place we go, so that was a good benchmark. I always go for a steak pie and that usually means living with disappointment. Not in this case! It was the best pie I have had for ages and passed on two critical points: there was no huge void hidden by thick puff pastry and the stock with the steak was perfect! My companions loved their dishes and we all loved the prefect large chips. Chef: we salute you. we will be back again!

Accueil sympathique. Le cadre, très PUB, est vraiment agréable. Le restaurant est "caché" à l'étage, il ne faut pas hésiter à grimper les escaliers et patienter qu'une table se libère... le jeu en vaut la chandelle !Les plats sont copieux et vraiment bons. A coupler avec une visite du quartier de Covent Garden.

Went to The White Lion on Sunday 2nd June for family lunch, other family members said it was previously good, and was recommended however I beg to differ.The table was not ready, even though it was booked & the pub was not busy.As a party of eight, three of us had beef, which was supposed to be medium rare but was very rare to the point it was inedible and one of them was cold, two had the full works with the beef well done, but with very little of the pork & two had the chicken, which was good. However all the vegetables were over cooked.Gravy,mustard and Horseradish sauces arrived about 5 minutes after we were asked if we wanted any.Desserts arrived at various times with the first person served finishing before the last person was served. In addition extra custard which was ordered at the time arriving late.Although the staff were all very friendly,I did not wish to pay the £29 service charge (12.5%) of total bill due to the very slow service and quality of the meal.While this was probably an off day I would not recommend a future visit

Tuvimos una cena navideña allí, el servicio estaba bien, especialmente porque éramos un grupo muy grande, el pavo principal era grande y delicioso. El ambiente también era genial. Pero algunas cosas lo decepcionaron: el primer plato de salmón era demasiado chiflado, podría haber estado comiendo un limón. Faltaba la opción vegetariana, y cuando la verdura de nuestro grupo pidió algunas verduras adicionales, el camarero le dijo que se llevara a los demás. Y al final se arruinó cuando el camarero vino a cobrar el dinero a todos y les dijo que el precio era 5 más de lo que nos habían dicho originalmente, y al preguntar, explicó que había decidido agregar 5 a la cuenta de todos, ya que eso es lo que hizo. sintió que se lo merecía como propina. Todos los miembros de mi grupo acordaron que se sentía muy incómodo y manipulador.

Very poor customer service by the manager herself regarding the food. We were a group of people who reserved half of the pub thanks to the singer of the night. Simply we were waiting to order, and suddenly they told us the kitchen was closed and the chef was not able to give us anything else apart crisp and nuts. She did not even acknowledge our queue and than decided she was not going to serve us and just tell us the kitchen is closed. She made fall apart our group because some of us did order the food with other at the bar and some of us were sent to the restaurant next door.

I visited this pub for a quick bite to eat the other day and was immediately welcomed by three bar men, all of whom presentable and really welcoming. I believe the first introduced himself as Harry. He went on to tell me a great deal about the wide array of drinks available and after recommending a Japanese rice beer, I was sold.Later, another of the boys, Woody, took my order at the table and recommended some of the new seasonal spring dishes which all looked delicious. He recognised that I was drinking the rice beer and so recommended pairing it with the lamb dish. This was a really lovely touch and his suggestion was absolutely spot on.I was very impressed by the range of beers, the quality of the food and overall, the friendliness of the staff. Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to meet the third member of this delightful trio but I'm sure he would have been equally helpful and charming. I will definitely be coming back!Thank you White Lion!!

This place is a gem. I never dared to venture into it in its previous incarnation so what they have achieved here is no mean feat - a massive transformation.The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and the manager has a very personal touch. On one occasion, our table was wobbly, and he offered to top up my friend's glass, as it had slightly spilled due to the table. He then personally escorted us to to find another table. This was in the early days and this attention to detail has not waned in the slightest. I have only eaten there once but it always looks and smells good (the burgers were delicious), but often go for a drink with friends and it never disappoints. Very cosy atmosphere with bare brick walls with painted artwork, lots of space and it's never too loud or intrusive, neither does it feel lonely when it's quieter.The best pub in Stroud Green/Finsbury Park by far.

Mondays and Tuesdays are definitely the best days to visit this place as you get two burgers for one on these days. They also do three sides for 10£, so you can get a fairly cheap dinner there. The burgers were quite nice, although the buns aren't very really to my liking. The burgers are also very big. I had to eat my burger with fork and knife, because it would have been a big mess otherwise.

Came here for a few drinks with friends on Sunday afternoon after a stroll through the park, looking for something to eat. Nice looking pub, renovated to a high standard and lovely to have the small bit of outside space. Good selection of drinks and prices were on par with other pubs in the area. But sadly the food let it down. Menu is rather lacking for vegetarians in the first place, but I went for the beetroot burger on its own for £7 (fries would have cost another £3/4). It was tiny for starters, which was a let down considering the cost. And the 'burger' was not edible as a burger because it was like a coleslaw type thing made of shredded veg with nothing binding together into a patty or anything like that, so you couldn't pick it up without it all splitting apart and spelling down your hands. Shame as the taste was very nice, albeit very greasy. But yeah, failure as a burger. Friends had jerk wings (which apparently weren't spicy at all) and the other had a burger and chips. I'd go back for drinks, but wouldn't return for a meal.

Dirty, cold and terrible (or completely lacking in any) customer service from most of the bar staff.If you're lucky, you may be served by one of the guys - very nice, friendly and quickly get your order ready with no problems. No issues with these guys whatsoever - I was actually surprised the first time I ordered from one of them and as far as I'm concerned, they are the ones carrying this place in terms of customer service!If you're unlucky, you'll be 'served' (if you can call it that), by one of the sour-prune female members of staff who constantly tut because they don't want to prepare what you've ordered or whisper and snigger to each other while doing it.I don't tend to order food here anymore because of past experiences - small and cold most of the time, but wow, a pub that has issues when you order drinks!If I were in charge of staffing this place I'd seriously consider ridding the rubbish (ie mannerless, cretinous staff) and pulling in more of those like the guys here who are actually competent.

Do you want to save money but also want to have good quality food in a pleasant place?I recommend 'The White Lion of Mortimer', a Wetherspoons Pub, about five minutes stroll from Finsbury Park.I met a friend for a long work + fun afternoon.Wetherspoons attracts people who have to watch their money - often students and pensioners. This pub had a really friendly older Irish crowd. I heard lots of rich country accents.Tuesday is the 'Steak day' and I really enjoyed my good-sized sirloin steak with chips, garden peas and a drink - all for £ 5.25!The food was really good, the steak cooked perfectly, the chips were golden crispy and piping hot. The presentation was fine.There is free Wifi in the pub and there is no music, so it really is perfect for a net working afternoon. Bar staff was friendly and charming. The pub and toilets were spotlessly clean. We got a lot of work done before we hit the chocolate cakes (and more drinks. But that's another story).

I understand that they serve veeeery cheap food (2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £14), but still especially when it comes to steak it's not a big deal to cook it properly.It was a decent amount of everything and I must say delicious chips but both steaks were just way overdone.

Went there 10am, 2 adults + 2 children ordered set breakfasts x 4 at 10.15am was given hot drinks over the counter and waited for breakfast, 10.30 waitresses said no sausages so I said hash brown instead. 10.45 still no breakfasts so I complained to the manager and showed him my receipt which said order time 10.15 he took it from me and stormed in the kitchen shouting at the chef.11.am manager brought out our breakfasts all cold we asked to have them heated he removed them all and again shouting could be heard from kitchen, the manger never returned.I went to the waitress and asked for refund she asked for my receipt I looked at the manager and said I gave it to him, the manager said 'I throw it at the chef'.Then the waitress tried to refund food only and charge for drinks, I insisted on the whole amount as it was a set meal. People who I took there were visitors from Florida and I was embarrassed by my local compared to Florida's breakfast service in I Hop. Never again Weatherspoon.

The staff seemed disinterested when we complained several times about the wait for our food. We even complained to the manager but he did not seem bothered that he had 4 unsatisfied customers. The food was off poor quality and the salad was boring.

We dodged into hereto avoid a downpour. As Sunday lunch was under way, we stopped to eat and dry out. Very cheap at £4.99 including drink: but both meals were short of an advertised item, and it took ages to have it added - needed the intervention of the manager, as the waiter (!) seemed not to speak English and was short of oomph. Place was half empty, and we understood why.

Called here on Tuesday steak night. I have eaten in lots of Wetherspoons and this is probably the best steak yet. Also the cheapest too

Usually I like Wetherspoons food, and I usually have a good time Not this time though... Bad experience all round, except for the time spent with my friends (one of whom also had to get a refund). Will never ever eat or drink here again. Disgusting service: My Classic Gourmet Beef Burger served to me (sans the cheese sauce which was supposed to come with it) less than 5 minutes after ordering by a sullen waitress (obviously she had much better things to do than serve us!), who almost threw the plate on the table. Of course, the burger was cold, which I discovered after a tentative bite, and I decided a refund was in order.This in itself was a traumatic ordeal, as the rude manager took half an hour trying to get the machine to locate my order (I quite believed he was fobbing me off, in an attempt to get me to throw up my hands and say "Oh never mind!"), and when he did find it, I still had to wait a couple of days for the money to come through, which was very annoying, and I was prepared to go back and demand for it in cash instead.The whole place has a depressing vibe, awkward layout, and a disgusting carpet which even Pat Butcher would balk at. Was a shame as well as I was looking forward to the meal (as usually I find the Gourmet Burgers lovely), but had I known the complete and utter palaver of obtaining a refund, I would've just sucked it up and eaten it regardless. To be quite honest, its best not to come here at all! If you're looking for a decent Wetherspoons, I recommend instead The Coronet on Holloway Road - a converted cinema, or The Gatehouse in Highgate Village.

Burger came within two minutes of ordering it, I ate to the middle and realised it was freezing cold therefore was not cooked properly. I gave back the meal and asked for a refund, the manager then decided to walk off and talk with his friend. The manager was extremely rude and unhelpful. The food did not fit the description, it came with cut up green chillis instead of jalapeños. He refused to give me a full refund. Then my friends food arrived again and it was COLD. He also refused a refund for her too. I am absolutely disgusted with the service I received and will never eat here or within the wetherspoons brand again.

Its not great food, of course it isnt, look at the prices! But perfectly decent, if moneys tight and you need something to soak up all that ale you could do an awful lot worse.

Unrecognisable from the car showroom it was in 1986, this is a lively mainly working class pub.Prices are very cheap for London especially for food. This is the standard Wetherspoon offering so it is of a reasonable standard responsibly sourced. Tuesday is steak club when steak, salad and chips with a drink is available for £5.25 - very cheap for London but you still get aged Aberdeen Angus beef.Good for breakfast which is served from 8:00am.

Gran lugar, el personal es más bonito. Sin embargo, necesita considerar un cambio de tarifa en enero. Cada local ofrece ventas de enero.
