White Lion in Cheshire East

Stayed here for one night on work business. The bedroom was nice, comfy bed and fairly tasteful decor (apart from the lion pictures everywhere!!). Free car parking is available and the reception staff were helpful and friendly. However our evening experience was really poor. I’m not sure exactly what was happening but there was some kind of filming going on and (I think) various staff were being interviewed. This then resulted in the kitchen being closed and not taking any food orders. When we asked to see the manager, we were told various tales including “the manager isn’t on site”, “the filming has tripped all the electric and gas (!) in the kitchen” before bringing told the kitchen had miraculously reopened. It felt like the filming took priority and was more important than paying guests. Equally in the morning at breakfast guests were asked to sit in certain places, out of the way of any filming, making us feel like an inconvenience. I wouldn’t recommend sadly.

We love this pub so much. The food is great, the pub itself is always well looked after (especially the outside area) showing it has owners that care about it, and the biggest positive is the wonderful team who work there and provide a warm welcome.

Good food at reasonable prices, especially at lunchtime. Friendly , helpful service. No food on Mondays

Staff i thought were ok. Turned out to be snotty and extremely rude and judgemetal. Food was absolutely atrocious! Patte smelt like tinned cat food and the taste almost made me sick! Salt and pepper chips were dripping in oil couldnt eat them. Nachos were bland and just cheep packet nachos from shop couldnt eat them. Burger wasn’t cooked properly and wasnt tasteful. Food was shocking and staff need to learn how to not be rude and cocky and especially sarcastic! Will never EVER come here again!

Varied meals available, We chose the lunch time menu , more than adequate fresh and hot . Easy to find with plenty of parking spaces.

Clean, smiling staff, nice beer and a great price. Thank you for a great Sunday dinner

Food was 10/10 lovely staff and nice atmosphere thank you will 100% be back regularly.

We took our daughter and baby granddaughter for dinner today. Fantastic food and outstanding staff Hard to find a more welcoming pub to enjoy a lovely family evening Thank you all x

Nice pub, not a massive choice on the menu if you are not a meat eater. Did not like the chips, they wer cut extremely thin. The fries were better. Staff were lovely and friendly. Dining chairs were not very comfortable.

Can’t thank the staff enough , we had a family wake here , the room and food were perfect and I would recommend to anyone ,

Been here 6/7 times food always good tasty &not bad prices varied menu,staff pleasant &helpful,bar bit noisy at times but in back restaurant quiet with low music happy staff very helpful & if you have chips they are proper NOT frozen or greasy nice pub plenty parking outside area good size.

Incredible friendly staff, amazing food, warm atmosphere.

Nice local pub. One of the best in the area.

The White Lion is the best family pub in the area. The grounds are 1st class and brilliantly maintained. The food menu is amazing with something for everyone. The staff and owners work so hard to keep everyone well-fed and well lubricated along with a fantastic fun friendly atmosphere. Simply the best 👌

Such a lovely place with incred wine, makes it even better that the bartenders are even lovelier, especially Kyle!!!!!

Fantastic food,fabulous prices, lovely southern chicken wrap

Quality of beers, drinks etc is outstanding. Food amazing. Great atmosphere. Top service.

I can't recommend the White Lion enough. It's such a lovely place and the staff are so friendly and the service is faultless. Food is very tasty and very generous portions and good prices too. The atmosphere is lovely and this is the third time I have been recently and I'm really looking forward to my next visit. If your looking for somewhere to eat with top notch service, great food and atmosphere the White Lion ticks all the boxes as you will really enjoy your visit.

Bit of a random pick for a visit from the canal, but clearly a popular watering hole. The "Sizzle into the weekend" is a good bit of business. Choose your own combination of 4 meat/prawn elements with 3 sauces with rice/chips/salad. Enjoy!

Called early Friday evening.i think my wife and I were the only ones not eating food.that tells you something.staff were very friendly. Definitely go back and next time have food

Met my now husband in here. 10/10 would recommend

Good meal, great atmosphere. Fairly big family do excellently catered for. Very pleasant servers and bar staff. Always enjoy an evening spent here. Wish we lived closer to be able to use it as a local, but unfortunately not. Went yesterday fir a Friday Sizzler. What absolute superb value!!!!! And Service...... brilliant!

Food was excellent staff couldn't be more helpful .in all very happy

Very nice. Good food. staff very helpful and quick .

Went for group meal for 19 people, it was so organised, staff amazingly friendly meals came out all together and hot 🔥 was really impressed, they even decorated room for me, would definitely recommend going again. I recommend all the dishes.

Sunday lunch Mothers Day meal. Roast dinner (pork for me, beef for the good lady) was massive, the homemade Yorkshire pudding was the size of a small hat, but tasted nicer! Daughter had a fish dish, which looked very good, and "the boy" opted for a chicken breast burger, which was also enormous. Perhaps we could have not had the starter, but cheesy garlic mushrooms was too tempting! I was driving so it was coffee and coke for me, but others were happy with the house cask beer and another from Otter.

Beautiful home cooked meal... Lovely friendly staff and very welcoming. Will definitely return and will certainly recommend to others..

Fantastic night as always never fails to disappoint . Sizzler night good value for money with the small being ample and free glass of wine or beer

My go to place for food. Always a great food staff are amazing also. Highly recommend.

Attended a 40th buffet in the back room. Made to feel very welcome on a very busy Friday night. Fab.

Refused service saying my wife "didn't look with it today". Horrible service wouldn't recommend it.

1st time here n defo coming bak,brill staff very relaxing friendly atmosphere

Popped in for the first time in quite a while, we just wanted a main meal. We both had steak and ale pie and it was beautiful. A cold day, made better by the real fire burning. We shall definitely be visiting again.

What can i say apart from Wow. Meals, service and pub are all fabulous, family of 4 ate and all meals were amazing, thank you Jackie/Dave and the team, you are truly fantastic 😀 xx

Called in for tea ,resteraunt tables all decked out for Christmas Dinners except ours and one other,front lounge and bar packed out 5 30pm.Have to say not a good visit .,lasagne bland anemic looking mince literally 6 chips ,smothered chicken as tough as a Wellington boot .As always lovely staff ,I think they where over stretched tonight.

Nice place, great staff, food good,well above average fot the area. Reasonable price. Will be back soon

Always good food and staff are super friendly. Outside beer garden is by far the best around with 2 outside bars and huge covered area. Well behaved dogs welcomed and catered for.

Had a lovely meal here for my daughters birthday. The service was excellent. Meals were absolutely delicious. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be returning. We were looking for somewhere small that wouldn't be majorly busy with people just out for a drink ( with it being Christmas time) as my daughter struggles with crowds we got exactly what we hoped for in this warm and welcoming Pub/restaurant. Due to its size I would recommend booking a table especially if you have a few people in your party. Overall we had a brilliant evening and are very grateful to everyone at The White Lion for making it so enjoyable.

Lovely well presented pub, lovely Christmas decorated dining area, food is lovely from starters, mains and puddings all beautiful. Value for money, not to expensive. Only niggle is in the conservatory area it’s a little chilly. Big plus + they do not add service charge to your bill!!!

I came on Friday with 7 of my friends and must award 5 stars for our Christmas lunch. It was absolutely delicious. Everything a Christmas lunch should be. The staff were very attentive and couldn't do enough for us. There was more than enough food and all beautifully cooked. Top marks. We will definitely be coming again very soon. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

There for a wake. Lovely people and place.

Myself and 4 friends went in for a meal Friday 4th November for a catch up. Sizzle night looked and tasted amazing (I tasted my friends) Fantastic offer on a Friday with a free wine or bottle of beer. I had my usual steak which is always so tasty. Fantastic service as always with a lovely warm atmosphere. Will definitely try the sizzle next time.

Exceptional service! Would highly recommend. Food was top quality, mixed grill the best. A 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

As alway excellent . Made welcome and service 1st class . Reccomend a visit . But leave space for me

Great atmosphere, nice and chilled out. Service was great, main course was lovely, pudding was bang average, i had puddint of the day and it wasn't much to shout about, that was the only negative.

Fantastic place. Fantastic room. Fantastic food.

It's a nice place to go for a nice quiet and relaxing meal and drink in nice surroundings and warm environment

Great meal with all our friends, all 20 of us.

Great local pub. Very welcoming.

Love this pub , friendly staff and nice atmosphere, great selection of beers and great quality food 👌

Great service, nice area outside, loved that they have two outside areas, one for smokers and one for non-smokers. Nice little area for kids aswell.

Fantastic sirloin steak last night as normal. 2 for 1 Wednesdays great value 👌

Lovely pub with great area for the kids.

Fantastic pub. Friendly staff and owners. Lovely home cooked food. Nice decor with extra touches. Thank you for a lovely meal. We will be back!

Super staff with great service and great Sunday lunch would recommend to anyone to visit The White Lion at Warmingham i will be returning

Great pub with dining visited as we was staying in Crewe hall for the night home cooked food with hand cut chips available I had the rump steak my wife had the home made steak and ale pie very tasty food both happy with empty plates friendly and polite staff added bonus they sure live sports which was another reason we went nice all round Sunday visit

General manager couldn't run a bath let alone a pub

My retirement and 60th birthday parties were held here and I can highly recommend it. A good selection of buffet food at sensible prices with good drinks and excellent service. All the staff were fantastic.

A great place for a Sunday roast. Usually 3 cask ales on too. Views of the countryside to the rear and side where there is plenty of outdoor seating and a children's play area too.

As someone following a gluten free diet I am so impressed with the gluten free options this pub offers! I had gf breaded scampi (which I've not seen anywhere else) but could have had gf fish & chips, pizza or burgers, in addition to those dishes which are naturally gf. The menu and website don't make this clear so do ask them!

Lovely place food excellent back soon

Friendly staff excellent food will definitely eat here again 😊

We had a garlic bread with cheese starter which was lovely. The daughter had chicken goujons and chips and the wife had smothered chicken and chips and both were very nice. I had the fish and chips, the chips were homemade and very nice but the fish wasnt so good (great batter but inside was just a slimy mush). I would go here again but i'd definitely give the fish a miss.

A lovely welcoming pub. Easy going and friendly staff. Well decorated and very clean. Lots of lovely things on the menu spoilt for choice will need to go back to try more. Outside area is well kept with a great undercover seating area and a fenced of children's playground. This pub has the whole package give it a visit and see for yourself!!! Thanks for a great lunch 😋

Food good and safe very friendly.

We had a lovely meal when visiting the area. Very good selection/value on the lunch menu. The home-battered fish melted in the mouth! Better than many expensive restaurants I've been to. I had mash with mine, my husband had chips. Also home-made cheesecake of the day was absolutely delish - served with cream - perfect! Sadly we don't live locally... We highly recommend!

Lovely food !! Dinner and breakfast ! Staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough to help, very polite and professional. Only suggestion would be to modernise the lounge area a bit more and to ensure it’s better lit so it feels as nice as the restaurant part

lovely staff nothing too much trouble for them great food at a reasonable price would highly recommend

My burger was very nice but I felt very threatened by the sharp stick in my burger overall very nice food I recommend

I love the homemade pie here, chips are homemade not frozen it's beautiful

Simple meals can really be outstanding at the white lion. Sausage mash and peas mine was the gammon chips to die for and peas. Followed by apple pie and custard. Heavenly food is here at the Lion.

Great service, fab food, reasonably priced drinks We will be back

Excellent food and good service

Great outdoor beer garden for family and dogs

Excellent friendly staff great service and food. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Delicious food! The main was portioned brilliantly and we felt very looked after by the waitress. The only downside was the small portions on the tapas. And looking at other people's starter choices, they were all quite small in portion, e.g. 1 piece of cheese garlic bread as opposed to 2. This is likely just preference though.

Superb night! Amazing food and overall service from Grace. We sat in the bar area to eat which had a good vibe on a Friday night. We stayed over in a very high quality room with thoughtful attention to detail.

Staff and other customers very friendly. Real fried chips, good service.

I arranged for my Grandad's surprise 80th birthday party here in the outdoor bar area last week and it did not disappoint! They allowed us to arrive early to decorate, they let us set up a tab with drink vouchers which made everything a lot easier for us paying for drinks for everyone. The food was delicious and every last bit went! Staff were amazing, so friendly and couldn't do enough for us! Thank you so much :)

Great menu. Hefty portion so be sure to be hungry. Lovely lasagne and the chunky chips were nice. Partner had chicken burger. Will call in again.

Really friendly staff and proper pub grub for a reasonable price

Absolutely lovely place and good food friendly staff 😀

1st time visiting today and wow! The quality of meat on the mixed grill 👍😎 the service was excellent and we was made to feel extremely welcome. Thank you
