Not just a beautiful place to eat, but the food was top notch, as in cooed to perfection, presented well and served with a smile. Even the local clientele were very friendly and welcoming. We were greeted with a happy attitude, which settled us down for a great lunch. It was a Tuesday lunchtime, and just became busier throughout our stay, so booked early. I'm 71 and have to say it has been one of my best lunchtime experiences. It is also an historical place. Nice location by the river, room outside for dogs and even humans. Thank you to both of the staff in attendance.

Lovely spot by the river to sit outside (weather permitting). Met with friends for lunch complete with dogs. Staff friendly and good service as was the food. No complaints. Outside of the building could do with some TLC but it doesn't detract from the customer experience. We'd go there again so I think that says it all.

My dog was attacked. I have been here twice and the first time my dog was bitten by the stupid man who sits by the door with a big black dog. I went there again today with my mother and there he was again making no effort to control his dog - my mother was unable to enter the building with her dog and I had to pick mine up. I asked for his name but the management refused to give it. This man shoul be reported to the police. If you know this stupid man with big black dog please let me know

Had two brilliant meals on two nights at this wonderful friendly pub. Excellent landlord and landlady and all staff and customers friendly. All our meals on both nights were perfect. Great menu and quick service. Views spectacular afterwards of the River accompanied by Mungo the beautiful cat. Great value for meals and drinks. Really great find and they do live music that does not impose.

On our way to our holiday cottage, we stopped for Sunday lunch here. Was not disappointed. Very dog friendly which is a huge bonus. Very friendly atmosphere, lots of locals, we didn’t feel out of place. The food was incredible. We both opted for the pork, wow is all I can say. Thank you. Delicious.

Had a wonderful two night stay at the White Lion. Lindsey Jason and Lee where excellent- very friendly and welcoming nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was 10/10 evening meals well priced and delicious. Room was immaculate and cosy with everything you need for your stay. Location is beautiful right on the River Wye with just a short walk into Ross on Wye town centre. Would highly recommend.

The pub manager hates people, we were constantly told off like school children. We booked a table for a special birthday and told we had to move from the table after 3 hours - even though we weren’t told this when booking. We were told off for sitting outside and inside when some of our party were smoking, a chair was pulled out when the table was too small and asked when we were leaving. The pub was full of aggressive signage of things not to do. Dont go here if you want a relaxing evening - Must say that it was a lovely location, pretty good food, lovely locals and the other staff were nice it is just a shame that he was awful to our party. We would not go back!

Lovely ale and bar staff. However, the manager would be better suited at a boot camp than a pub. Needs to pay more attention to his people skills and less to the laminated signs he has posted throughout the pub. From other reviews it sounds like he's running it into the ground. Tragic

We were staying locally and decided to try the white lion on Saturday night for something to eat.The pub is in a brilliant location right on the edge of the river.The food was v good , I had squid followed by the mussels & frittes which were both delicious.My husband had chicken wings , he said they were v spicy and delicious. Then he had gammon and egg, he said it was great.Very attentive friendly staff. There was a band which was great. It seemed a great local pub and we would definitely eat there again.

We tried to have a bite to eat here and sit outside with our dog. Having parked our car we and the couple arriving after us were told by the owner that we should park more in line with the parking bay markings which we did together with the couple that had arrived before us. We were then told we couldnt enter the beer garden before 12 so we waited 15 min. Thereafter we were told they were now fully booked.

Stopped just on the off chance as we were driving past. We were greeting by a friendly lady who informed us they were fully booked in the garden but we could have a table inside with our dog which was fine. A few minutes later she had managed to arranged a table outside for us which was great overlooking the river. We had a wine and beer and also decided to order some lunch to share. Tasty, reasonably priced food and drink. Friendly staff and lovely setting. We would gladly go again. Thank you

Wow wow wow..we came here after reading a few bad reviews and are so glad we did! We arrived and were taken to our table and our drinks order was taken immediately. Our food order was taken promptly and when it arrived we couldn't fault it at all. We had the summer fish platter whilst the kids had the burgers. The service and warm welcome were nothing short of exceptional. We will certainly be back to support this pub when we are next in the area!

We have been coming here on and off for years, lovely setting but the food and service has so gone down.Overwhelmed miserable service, but my biggest bugbear was the awful frozen out of a packet food.Chunky chips were not chunky, but wen iover cooked tasteless little wedges. The salt and pepper squid was the worst I have ever tasted, just out of a packet frozen lumps and my fried brie was crispy but the brie was almost non existent.My partners chicken burger was dry and so thin. It was a joke.Needless to say the only asset they have is the beautiful setting.

This was the second visit this year.The first time was Sunday Lunch. The roast beef was overcooked and no mustard or horseradish was offered.Very loud with children and dogs .The second visit was even worse I had Curry which was OK but my husband had fish and chips which looked as if it was pre prepared frozen fish and over cooked.When my drink , a gin and tonic was served at the table the whole bottle of tonic had been poured into the glass and without lemon or lime. I explained that I wasn't happy with the drink as I had always been served with the tonic separately in order to pour your chosen amount.I asked for the drink to be replaced and served with the tonic separately.A man appeared with the replacement drink and proceeded to tell me that I was wrong and that he had been trained by Fever tree the correct way to make a gin and tonic.I have worked in hospitality myself for many years for family businessses and in world class hotels in GermanyHis attitude was aggressive and rude.I can only guess that he was the landlord as a staff member would have been reprimanded for such an attitude to customers .We complained that a crowd of young men were very rowdy throughout the meal and we asked staff if they could ask the group to tone it down a little nothing was doneAfter 10 years of eating at the White Lion we will not be back.

Fully agree with James, Beuf0rt, Steve and Ruth’s review! Terrible experience for the money spent. Ale was badly kept (but argued it was fine..), portions were abysmally small, and most of all the service was disgusting. I appreciate Covid is a difficult time for businesses, but please don’t shout at my partially sighted elderly father for not following your Covid “signs”. Also, as other reviewers state, please don’t add 10% to our bill for service; a) we are not in the United States, b) you really didn’t provide “service”.The pub is close to the river, but as the whole of the Ross river is a public park, you’re better off grabbing a “meal deal” and taking it to a nice area of the river instead - especially if you have children or elder family members. Fully and completely recommend The King’s Head, The Man of Ross and The Royal Hotel in Ross. We ate at all three of these last week and the food and service were brilliant in all (even when rather busy). The White Lion is regrettably a complete let-down in, what is, the beautiful area of Ross on Wye. A pity as when we visited 5 years ago, the previous management had made it a hidden gem!

A great location overlooking the river Wye. Had lunch here with friends. New management have made a good job of revamping the riverside garden but unfortunately it was downhill from there. Friendly service but inefficient and forgetful. Quality of food was below average and quite small portions. Watch out for the 10% service charge on your total bill which is not mentioned on the menu (is this legal? )and results in a feeling of being ‘ripped off’. As locals we may return for an occasional drink because of the location but would not eat here again.

Had lunch in the garden - fantastic location, where you can watch the river flow by and the swans and swifts. Staff were really nice and helpful and food was very tasty - it's clear they're making a real effort in a very difficult environment. One warning - if you're hungry, stay clear of the bites menu - I was expecting tapas style plates but the portion sizes were appalling for the price (3 for £12 or 5 for £17). Tasted lovely but no accompaniments (relish, salad) at all, just three of each choice (cod cakes about the size of large marble) in a little ramakin. That's the reason for the low mark - just a bit more would have pushed it to a five.

Wales restaurants are still in lock down (18th April 21) but English ones are now open. So we traveled an hour and 10 minutes to Ross on wye for a day out. We had booked the white lion in advance as it gets booked up quickly.After a walk around the shops in the lovely town we went for a Sunday lunch. We were shown to a lovely table in the garden which overlooked the beautiful river wye. The weather was stunning, sunny and warm. The menu was Sunday lunch with extras like a fish platter.We had a bottle of wine and numerous soft drinks and a beautiful pint of butty Bach from wye valley brewery. Three Sunday lunches, a vegetable tart and fish platter to share.The service was excellent the food even better. I can’t fault this business and Ross on wye itself.Absolutely worth the travel and I’ll be back.Thank you to all the staff of the white lion for making my day out a memorable one.

I visited the White Lion on Saturday with two friends, as we were visiting Ross on Wye for a little girls weekend away. Wow, what a start to our weekend it was. We were greeted by a lovely lady who welcomed us and said we could sit wherever we wanted with options of indoor or outdoor seating. It was quite sunny so we opted for outside, where we were greeted with the beautiful view in the photo. The restaurant has a large covered decking area so even when the sun went in we were nicely sheltered. It was so lovely and peaceful out there. Despite the fact that we were one of the only groups sat outside and it was quite busy inside, the staff were so attentive and so friendly, constantly checking if we were ok and if we needed anything. I think one of the unfortunate things with all the ‘COVID secure’ rules in restaurants at the moment is that a lot of places haven’t adapted too well from the usual ‘order at the bar’ to then having to provide table service (which is understandable), but the White Lion certainly isn’t one of them, they were really excellent and totally on the ball.It was lunch time when we visited, and two of us ordered the fish burger and one of us the chicken burger - and it was all absolutely delicious, we were so impressed. We’re gutted we don’t live nearby as we all agreed that if this was our local pub we’d be there all the time, however we would love to return to Ross on Wye and our visit to the White Lion is definitely one of the reasons why! Thank you for being part of our lovely weekend!

COVID19 precautions were strictly followed.We ordered our drinks at the bar and then took them to our table. A waitress then took our food order (chicken burger and beef lasangne).

With vegetarian/vegan options thin in the ground I ordered a'Bad Boi'veggie burger. While shops and supermarkets vie to produce new and innovative (and of course highly lucrative) vegan lines, I'm still amazed that pubs still serve up stuff of the quality that I'd have expected to find around 1985. The burger was a thin layer of crumbly beans in breadcrumbs that looked like something that has fallen to the bottom of the freezer in Iceland 6 months ago, served in a white roll with a thin slice of lettuce and tomato, no relish and a couple of teaspoons of limp coleslaw. There was a small portion of fries, and that's it for £10.95. Staff, service, setting all good, but the food was pretty much as bad as it could possibly have been.

Being new to Ross-on-Wye we relied on trip advisor to find us somewhere to eat. Even though the weather wasn’t amazing, we knew that the kids would enjoy being near the river. We were taking our two sons (7, 2) for lunch so it can be hit and miss on finding a pub that properly caters for kids. Service was great and very friendly. We were there early and it had a few ‘locals’ in, but it didn’t feel like a ‘local pub, for local people’. Food came quickly but was great quality. We ordered the faggots, bacon and cheese burger, kids burger and kids fish and chips. Kids food can sometimes have no care when being served, but this came beautifully presented. We would definitely come back!

It has been a few years since I have been to the White Lion, but I will definitely be returning.Visited last night, I was so pleased to be able to eat CHICKEN out at last, they use FREE RANGE chicken, the waitress was absolutely brilliant nothing was too much trouble for her.The food was exceptional, when we were offered dessert I asked if they had cheese as I don't really do desserts and cheese was not on the menu, the waitress said no.But instantly thought, that they used Brie, Blue cheese and Cheddar in the main courses, so she said she was sure it could be done however their would be no crackers, I asked if they had a bit of bread I could have with it, she said she would see.When it appeared we all gasped, there was the cheese but also bread herby butter, pickle and strawberries, it was amazing, THANKS VERY MUCH!

Stopped at The White Lion when passing through Ross, staff very friendly. Great views of the river Wye, will be fantastic in the summer. I had the homemade chicken kiev (one of my favourite dishes, which is sadly not done in many restaurants) it was fabulous a very large breast and crispy coating, chips and salad it was very good value for the money. My husband had the belly pork with bubble and squeak, black pudding and a jus, again a fabulous tasting dish with excellent flavours. Will visit again when passing.

I initially only stopped for a drink but once my partner saw the menu we stayed for dinner and what a cracking decision that was! You order at the bar (and they did warn they were busy so it would be c.30mins wait which I liked as you know they're cooking each order freshly!) so I just had another local ale and waited for the meal which was excellent!

We have met here as a convenient meeting spot when our late mother and father were alive, as it is nearly half way between us - my brother lives in Wales. This year there was 9 of us and the food was outstanding. Started with mushrooms on toast with poached egg & a massive slab of pate - a wonderful start. Then we had a mix of steaks (perfectly cooked and seasoned) with delicious chips, homemade Lancashire hot pot, scampi, fish and chips, sausage and mash.. wonderful meal and we all left ‘full to busting’!!

Went to day for a meal as the usual place we go to was fully booked. The menu was basic and the child's menu could be improved alot. Not all kids want chips. The scampi was nice but nothing more than frozen scampi thrown in the fryer. The burger wasn't great at all and tasted strange. The chips though were nice. I did fancy the lamb hot pot but no way was I going to pay almost £16 for a pub lunch.

My husband and I just called in for a quick drink on a warm summers evening. We sat looking at the bridge and river with all its wildlife and riverside activities and small campsite.

Attended a friends 50th here a couple of weeks ago. Amazing location by the river. Heaps of potential. Food average. Service friendly. Prices good. Could do more to exploit the location and views.

Popped into the White Lion at 6:45 on a Sunday and they had stopped cooking food, but recommended the Royal Hotel for something to eat. We had a drink and went back on the Monday, great view of the Wye, with the occasional fish jumping. Beers good, food good, just don't go after 7:00 on a Sunday for food.

Camped here for two nights. Strictly two man tents only and no cooking. Fantastic river side location, beautiful views, easy to store your canoe/kayak.

A group of seven of us arrived here to have a light lunch last Monday. The owners are very friendly, there is a lovely atmosphere, the view over the river is gorgeous and the food delicious.

Restaurant located by the River Wye. Very friendly people and good hearty meals. Pub noisier at the weekend - perhaps not the place for a romantic meal out, but clean and pleasant.

Stopped off here on our journey home Easter weekend. We were delighted with our food, it was very tasty and well cooked. Staff were lovely and very attentive. Only comment would be a wider selection of beers however the two we tried we both very nice.

Met friends here for lunch on route to Hay on Wye. We were welcomed in to the bar area with our dogs. We ate from the lunch menu having lovely sandwiches and ciabattas, served with chips and salad.

You probably need to book ahead to get a view of the river. The food is pretty good. I had the chicken liver pate and they did me a generous side salad on request. The onion marmalade was not the best, but the service was great and everyone was very friendly. My husband says his steak sandwich was ‘quite tasty’. The decor is nothing special but the view of the river is stunning if you can get one of the tables with a view of it. All in all a lovely pub.

We visited with our friends and had a lovely Sunday lunch. They offer a smaller roast meal, which was just perfect for smaller appetites. There was lots of fresh vegetables and the lamb was very tasty. We'll definitely be back. The staff are very friendly and helpful too.

We visited for light Saturday lunch. Sat outside under cover with a great view of the river and bridge leading into Ross. The food was really good and judging by what we could see that other people had ordered, it all looked equally as good. The burgers looked really looked nice. We will go back to try!

We visited based on good Tripadvisor reviews. We received table service, food was excellent value and to a very high standard. Outside seating was overlooking the river, although we sat inside in the warm. We hope to visit again.

Fuimos a cenar aquí en un lunes por la noche y tenía el verandah fuera para nosotros. Casa martins se lanzan en el techo para alimentar nidos pequeños en los rápidos. El servicio era excelente, así como la ubicación, que era fabuloso. La comida era muy buena. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente, especialmente en una noche agradable donde puede estar fuera, justo en el río

Comimos allí dos veces recientemente. La primera vez fue un domingo, y, como con muchos pubs, asados estaban a la orden del día, con otros pocos platos en oferta. Como generalmente no disfrutar de pub asados tenía una lasaña. Fue agradable con buena carne de calidad. Mi esposa tenía una hamburguesa de pollo, que parecía recién hecho en vez de los congelados variedad estándar. Mi esposa lo disfrutamos.

Porciones enormes! Aros de cebolla eran un poco decepcionante porque estaban todos empapados pero de cómo perdonar porque el personal era encantador, muy amable y servicial! Los servicios del otro lado estaban un poco clínicos aparte de eso una experiencia encantadora.

Long story short, the Beefeater at the Premier Inn we were staying had to close because of technical issues. We had planned to eat there on the evening of our stay. After a little research I found The White Lion and was on £5 in a taxi (Dazs Taxi) from the Premier Inn.I'd called in advance and booked a table for 6 adults and a 3 month old baby. On arrival, a table had been reserved for us in the bar area, which was fine with us but lady serving us said that we could use a smaller room and arrange the tables for us as the bar area was busy it might have been a bit quieter for my 3 month old Niece. We took the offer up and we were promptly seated and offered drinks within minutes.The menu was basic but all cooked to phenomenal standard. The fish and chips was exceptional and I had the veal that was on the specials board that was cooked to perfection. Starters and deserts were equally as good.There was a few minor hiccups with our order but everything was rectified promptly and professionally.The food was the best I've tasted in a pub for a long time and the staff couldn't do more for you. Prices were more than reasonable for food and drink. We all left well fed and watered and extremely impressed with the hospitality we received. On leaving, we found out that that The White Lion also serves breakfast. We didn't need to thInk twice in saying that we'd be back in the morning. Amazing food and hospitality at a reasonable price.

Had a great meal here while sitting in the beer garden next to the river. Food and ale both tasted great and the location is perfect.

I was stopping at the b&b opposite so perfect to walk to at night and being Dog friendly made it perfect.. Owners were very welcoming and remembered me when I went back the second night.felt very comfortable going there as a woman on her own with 2 puppies Food was well cooked and lovely. Reasonably priced, lovely outside area right on the river. Only place I ate for my 2 night stay as was so good the first night was happy to go for the 2nd night to.

We visited here as a family having read online that this was a dog friendly pub. We has a lovely meal, huge portions and great value for money. The kangaroo steak was a real treat and the calamari was perfectly cooked; the kids' burgers were enough to feed a grown up! Our hound was welcome and allowed to sit with us, which was wonderful as so many places now say no to dogs. A fantastic find, and we will be returning soon.

Service excellent , food hot and O.K. Car park very dangerous with large holes, Marstons need to repair urgently before someone falls and claims compensation.

We stayed here overnight and booked the restaurant for our evening meal. Lovely staff, in a lovely surrounding. It’s a shame it was dark so we couldn’t see the views. Nice selection of starters, mains and desserts and we managed to enjoy all three. In the morning, the breakfast menu was plentiful and the sausage and bacon from a local butcher were very tasty.

England's Gate is a traditional British Pub and should be proud that it lives up such expectations. The food and the service was excellent. My wife had a steak which was very good. I had the steak and ale pie which was exceptional (especially for those who wish to have some comfort food occasionally . Pity more is not made of the 'pie of the day' as it was obviously hand crafted and had a very generous filling of tender and tasty steak. I was a little unsure of what I would get when ordering as the description and lead me to believe it might be 'brought in'. Top marks when it arrived and looked and tasted great. This (and perhaps other great items on the menu) should be heralded as a special dish (as it clearly was) . Overall, we wouldn't hesitate to go back and sample the food and atmosphere again. Super place, well above average food.
