First visited the outstanding White Lion a few weeks ago with friends for Sunday lunch . The food was so good we went back for an evening meal yesterday . Have to say we were not disappointed ! The food was amazing and such a pleasure to have true home cooked food that is of a very high standard. Everyone makes you feel very welcome , including our dog Ernie who enjoyed a snack of two ! Cannot fault the food or service in anyway and would highly recommend a visit to this little gem .

Great staff. Great facilities. Not keen on having CCTV in toilets (feel like no privacy when going/struggle to use urinals with someone there CCTV feels the same).

First time in Tamworth and my wife and I left with smiles on our faces Such a great mix of different people all at ease smiling dancing and having fun Take yourselves there and let go life’s to short Don’t judge just look at everyone having a fun cheap night Will be back From Four Oaks Sutton Coldfield and lived there al our lives People can be cruel and to judgemental to self critical instead of just letting go As I have said just go have a drink or 6 and let your hair down

Food is of an Excellent standard and hygiene rating 5* Entertainment on the weekend is absolutely fantastic but i would say arrive early if you want a seat, as this venue does fill up.. That aside, we always have enough staff on hand to make sure everybody is served without hanging around. Give it a go ;)

Popped in for a quick pint before getting the train. Would have been better standing in the cold for an hour. Run down. No real ale despite 3 hand pull pumps. Poole table as old as Tamworth castle. No one in there. Toilets were shocking would have been better taking a leak up a lamppost and risking getting arrested. Stay clear of this one. Only good thing was the Guinness.

I personally would not use this pub as it's a terrible place. The staff are all horrible the food is rubbish and the beer watered down..it's not really a very friendly place to drink in. They are all bully I there too getting their regulars to go round threatening people saying there going to beat them up..and there all on drugs I've noticed people doing it the the toilets. All in all I would strongly advise people to stay away from the white lion as it's a disgusting vile place to drink in

This pub will honestly go down like the titanic! Over the past year me and my family have had so much trouble from this pub it’s unbelievable! I got banned cos of a customer throwing a pint over me..I didn’t even retaliate I carried on walking didn’t want the argument as was out with friends which also got covered in beer..the landlord knows what goes on in this pub I’ve told him endless times but he just don’t listen! Tonight I went to another pub to be followed by a member of staff from the lion and a customer from there to be asked to step outside to be beaten up,this pub is a total joke,they gossip and take the Mick out of certain customers behind their backs which I’ve heard them myself do..please don’t lower yourself and find a “ decent” establishment in Tamworth instead of this awful place..if there was a zero button I’d be rating them that right now believe me..Friday and Saturday nights are “ drag queen” nights where customers are being took the Mick out of infront of a packed pub some people have even left cos of the embarresment of it all,the acts are the same every week,music is the same playlist and the staff are just atrocious,honestly very vile nasty staff who get the customers involved too in causing trouble even for my 15 year old daughter who just walk past the pub! Not child friendly at all,I’ve been offered a white powder in the toilets I told the landlord who said nothing just turns a blind eye as it’s all “ custom” to him..I wouldn’t take my worst enemy to this dive I really wouldn’t..

First time i have used this paricular Costa. I won't be returning. Order was wrong, drinks just left on side to go cold. Barrista who was doing the drinks did not tell anyone that their drinks were ready, or even what drinks she was serving. Long queues, very bad service.

Thought we would get a few drinks from here whilst waiting for our film. Staff were pleasant and friendly. When i went to pay for the drinks my card got declined. So tried another and the same thing happened again. In that time my drinks had been made and were ready. Turns out that my cards were all fine, their card payment system had just crashed as i went to pay. I had no cash to pay so waited for their system to reboot to pay by card. However, their systems were not working, and the manager offered the drinks to me for free which was nice of them. I did return when their system was back, but they said it was ok which was kind of them due to the inconvenience of having to wait. Can't fault the staff for how they dealt with this issue.
