White Lion in Warwick

Took my parents for lunch, all of our food was lovely and service fantastic what lovely staff <3

Brilliant pub. Great service. If you came here before, covid and hated it, it’s changed completely. The rude staff, poor food and dead atmosphere has gone. Totally different place. Well worth a visit.

Really superb pub with great food. The Sunday roast was amazing with a wide menu and loads of specials.

Quick visit for a coffee this morning! Friendly staff, and Quick service

The service that Jacob and Qwen provide is exceptional, they are so attentive and friendly. The food was also equally amazing. Look forward to coming back. David & Amy.

Lovely local pub. Good food. Great outdoor seating area. Family and dog friendly.

Fabulous place. Had a lovely glass of wine in the garden. Would definitely go back!

Just called for a drink. See food come out and looked amazing so definitely go back to try the food

If you look at google the photo is an old one as the pub as recently been done out so no breakfast as the chalk board says but they do morning coffee from 10am. On a recent visit found the place very nice staff were polite and accomadating food was all good no complaints. Their is a large room off the main pub for large parties of around 20 that can be closed off. The pub has arond 100 tables so plenty to choose from inside and out with garden and patio area.Toilets may be a little hard to find but they are clean and to a good order.Also dog friendly so good for walkers and people just dropping in.Not much more as i can say but a good pub and i had a good experience their so go along enjoy or not if you dont go you will never know.

How have we driven past so many times and not been in. An impromptu visit on a bank holiday Monday, a drink and some food, it was delightful. The service and staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and the place is just beautiful.

A proper pub that serves great food, thx for looking after us so well.

I had such a wonderful experience dining at the white lion Our server, Maisy, was fantastic. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome throughout our meal. Her warm personality and excellent service really enhanced our visit. We'll definitely be back, thanks in large part to Maisy's outstanding hospitality!

Such a beautiful venue, it completely surprised me how lovely it was. The staff were spectacular helping us select a table, helping us move when it was too sunny where we were sitting, providing real support and insight into the menu, uneven offering me blankets because I'm a baby. The food was fine, though not overly amazing. I wouldn't let that stop you though it was a lovely afternoon, in such a gorgeous back garden.

Wow! Called in for a drink on our way home last night. Hadn’t been here for a long time. We were blown away by everything. The refurb inside is stunning. Super friendly staff and a huge,beautiful garden area. Husband had a beef and ale pie with mash and veg. I had the Camembert and bread with absolutely divine marmite butter. Wasn’t going to have a pudding, but sounded,and was,absolutely delicious! Our waitress Navine, was incredibly attentive and informative. She took the time explaining special dishes. Also,the history of the pub and the the themed, upcoming nights planned. Thoroughly enjoyable evening. The setting,the food and the company all made for a perfect evening. This is definitely a new favourite.

can't fault the service or the atmosphere, lovely place, especially the garden, food is okay, some things are slightly bland, very very expensive for only okay food.

Such a fabulous meal. The lobster special was outstanding. Service is always great. Thanks

Decent beer garden- nice in the sunshine. Sunday roast was very good, we had the chicken and pork. Would eat there again if we’re in the area.

We have been coming to this place for many years - as it changed and evolved. Alas our recent experience of Sunday lunch was disappointing. The roast beef plate was uninspiring. The vegetables were so overcooked that they all tasted the same. The presentation was basic - for a small plate priced at £21.00. We ordered a side of cauliflower cheese. This used to be a delicious dish in this restaurant. It was inedible! Can’t describe it except to say that it was as if the cauliflower had been shredded and baked in a sour cheese sauce, covered with breadcrumbs. The result is unimpressive. I’m sorry to be writing v such a negative review but for the amount of money they are charging, I expected much much better food! I hope they can sort out the quality of their food soon.

Amazing food! Lovely garden to sit in and plenty of space and parking. Really enjoyed our evening!

Really great food and lovely staff here. We went on a very busy Friday evening and the staff were obviously rushed off their feet trying to keep up. This did mean there was a bit of a wait for food to come out. But it was worth the wait, every dish was delicious (and we are quite picky and judgy when we eat out!). And staff were really kind and obviously doing their best to give good service on a busy evening. The setting was lovely too, dining outside. Thanks for a great evening!

Gorgeous pub, lovely interiors and delicious freshly cooked food.

£5.40 for a pint of session beer? I think not! It’s a lovely place, with nice staff but i refuse to be ripped off. I won’t be going back

Great food, went for a lunchtime and the homemade sausage roll and homemade pickle served with the ploughman's lunch was amazing. Also really recommend the salted beef. It is family friendly with a large outdoor seating area, There is also a warm welcoming traditional feel to the place that so comforting

Lovely old pub on heart of village. Lovely outdoor seating and dog friendly. Great parking and great for families. Did not eat but food looks amazing.

Have been here before with family. It’s always a lovely experience. Had a lovely Sunday lunch today and not disappointed. I had the vegetarian roast dinner and it was all delicious. Staff come round with extra roast potatoes and yorkshire puds which is a nice touch. Staff super helpful and everything done efficiently. We will continue to come here as it’s always good food and service. Thank you all.

Really good night. Been meaning to try it for ages and glad we did. Great food and excellent value.

Great food but a bit on expensive side had the Sunday roast.

This gastro pub in Radford Semele offers consistently delightful dining experiences. With a diverse menu featuring daily specials, it caters to both regulars and newcomers alike. The attentive staff ensures excellent service, complementing the inviting atmosphere and comfortable seating. It's undoubtedly one of Leamington's finest establishments and comes highly recommended.

It is what it is Overpriced Gastro Pub

Fantastic Sunday dinner and great service as always.

Good service excellent lunch. Beautiful surroundings

My husband and I came for Sunday lunch it was beautiful plenty of it and they come round with more roast potatoes and Yorkshire. Lovely staff great atmosphere

I was down in Lemington from Manchester and did a little research to find a nice dog friendly pub for Sunday lunch before I headed back home and found the White Lion..I was in fact with my new kitten and the weather was not as good as promised. I had booked an outside table as no in door tables were available. The thoughtful host found a lovely table inside away from other dog owners which was a great start. I ordered the special 3 meat Sunday Roast. The meal arrived promptly and was delicious. I was also surprised when the host popped over with extra Yorkshire puds and roast potatoes. I had also been offered extra gravy which being a Northerner eagerly accepted. As I enjoyed the meal with perfectly pink beef So much I found a little room for an apple crumble. Not disappointed. Even the cappuccino was good with a side of smarties. Overall, a splendid experience and my only criticism is that it is too far from home to become my go to Sunday lunch venue.

Booked a table for 4 at 5pm on Easter Sunday,ordered 4 glasses of wine 2 starters and 4 mains.On delivering the wine the waiter used his fingers around the rim of the glass.The mains didn’t arrive until 6.15pm.I had to go to the bar at aprox 6.45pm, to ask for service of desserts.l spoke to Lianne(manager)about the poor service,she was very defensive throughout,she said she would have a chat with her staff and get back to me,but she didn’t.

We have visited the place for the first time. It's very well refurbished. Lovely pergola outside. We have been greeted by a friendly staff. We have ordered our dinner there. The drinks were quite nice. My partner ordered a chicken terrine for the starter which was nice. However, we have been disappointed by the mains and the children's meal (very basic burger, no veggies on the side). My partner has ordered a veggie burger with fries and I've ordered the crab. For the price, we were expecting more for the presentation as well as the sides and taste. The fries were not great. The food was ok. I was also very disappointed by the Tarte tatin as it tastes burnt caramel. We might come back if they make some improvements on the presentation, the portions and the sides of the meals. But at the moment, we will probably come back just for drinks but not for food.

Beautiful gastro pub, was so lovely sitting and overlooking the garden, the sun was shining and atmosphere was great for Good Friday. Staff were attentive and welcoming, food was delicious highly recommend the set lunch with the gammon. Will be returning!

Service poor as it took a long time to get our meals, staff were friendly but food wasn't very good being overcooked. Nice atmosphere but I won't be going back.

Food over priced for very small portions and to be honest tasteless.went for special occassion and was not impressed wont be going back

Great family venue. Lovely atmosphere/well staffed by attentive/professional staff/child friendly/great artwork/clean and nicely decorated. Loved the beams and thatched roof.

Great Sunday lunch , great service

Absolutely amazing food and amazing service, went the other day for the first time. Food and desert both came within 10-15 minutes each. The service was extremely quick considering how busy it was. Props to the waiter for being excellent at his job! 🙂

Good food with a great variety to choose from, excellent service

Went for Sunday roast, tried the beef and pork, and it didn’t disappoint! The entire place make you feel at home, the staff is incredible friendly, they even come to offer more sides if you are not satisfied, which I thought it was a nice gesture, despite it was more than enough for me. I didn’t have space for dessert, but will need to come for the apple crumble, it looks delicious!

Good all round experience, well worth a visit.

I ordered roast beef which was very tough to the extent I had trouble cutting it. I sent it back, but sadly the 2nd was no better. Not able to eat it, I took it home for my little dog. Very disappointed.

Superb! Thoroughly recommended. The staff are friendly and efficient. The food is good quality, nice cooked and presented. Nice that you’re offered extra Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes, not that they were required as the portions are ample.

Had a really bad experience here, we left in the end and went somewhere else.

Eight of us met up for a post Chrismas and New Year get together, well, why stop partying after the holiday period? We had an excellent menu to choose from, both food and drinks. Once we had finally made our minds up the food came freshly cooked and in good time. The service was great, with just the right amount of banter. We all had an enjoyable experience and will certainly be going back.

Superb "olde country inn". Efficient friendly service of excellent food.

Another pub in the peach empire. Not cheap, but I can live with that if the food and service are good, which they were. Fair play to them for bringing abandoned pubs back into the heart of their communities.

Very nice atmosphere very good friendly staff 😄

I loved the crusted Sea bass and the Bakewell tart with blackberries on the Christmas menu. My husband had the pheasant which he thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for a lovely lunch. Christine Smith.

Another Sunday lunch. Another great meal. Food and service excellent despite being massively busy. Thanks for looking after us.

First time we had been here in a long while and it is still a fine pub, nicely decorated and a good ambience. The staff were accommodating but were a little off-handish. Service was good and everything came out together and it was hot. The food however seemed a bit bland and expensive for what it was, especially the Schnitzel and the Celeriac and Mushroom Wellington. The Gammon and the Duck were a little tastier. The Monfish tempura was very disappointing for the price. Ales and Wines are good. Won't be returning in the near future when there are so many other pubs/restaurants in the Leamington/Warwick area.

First time here since it's Peach Pubs takeover. Excellent food and service!

Came here on a Saturday evening and got a table last minute which was great. Restaurant was busy but we weren’t overlooked despite this. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The food was also nice, we ordered chips, wings and marmite butter with ciabatta. The only thing I will say is the amount of butter for the bread wasn’t enough and would’ve been better if we had a bigger pot as these ones were very shallow!

Usual problem when not reserving a table. Got stuck in a side area and the service suffered. £19 for a roast dinner was steep.and it wasn't great. Didn't get the table cleared and had to go and find someone to pay. Unimpressed and will not be returning. Picture of the table remaining uncleared when we left. Says it all.

A beautiful big garden at the back offers a better dining experience as long as the weather favors it. Love the dining there...

Not a bad local pub, but the food has been a little hit and miss of late. We came recently, and the courgette fritters were greasy, the roast was a little cold, and a few other diners had cold food. Plus, while some areas of the restaurant were offered additional roast veg/yorkshires, we weren’t… In general, super friendly and nice staff, but the food need a little focus.

We arrived without a booking on a sunday afternoon and were seated without hassle and ordered food. Our roast dinners were delicious, and the service was great. This could of potentially been a 5 star review if it wasn't for 1 thing that really pissed me off. On the specials menu, they had a side order of crackling as an extra. I had ordered pork, so i decided to ask for it. When it arrived, it tasted like some kind of fake frozen substitute, almost like the pork scratching snacks you buy from behind the bar and not real crackling from the meat that was cooked on the day.

Just had a couple of pints and I must say loved the ambience. The open garden at the rear of the pub is huge and beautifully constructed.

Went yesterday for Sunday Roast. Food was lovely and extras were offered. Staff were really friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was really lovely. Would definitely return!

We had starters from the specials menu. Two of which were still frozen in the centre, being fish dishes this is unacceptable . Sea bass for main was lacking in meat and the dish was drowning in butter. No recognition from the staff other than the frozen starters being removed from our bill.

Well I tried the chicken wings with my beer. The staff were incredibly friendly.

Sunday roast dinner for 7 extremely satisfied customers. Not a hint of anything less than excellent, from the trio of meats to the delicious vegetables to the super Yorkshire puds. Genuinely high quality fare.

Great evening although a bit pricey. £10 for a large wine!

Early tea with our two granddaughters 5 & 2. Service exceptional ensuring that the children were served 1st but that we also got to enjoy our grown-up meal. Even noted our granddaughter's dairy intolerance recommending chips rather than mash as there was added milk. Nice to have the choice of several fresh fish dishes too.

I had the specials monkfish. It was the tiniest portion of fish and for £20 was poor value for money. Service was good to start with but slowed at the end of the night. We had to go and find someone to ask for the bill.

We had such a wonderful celebratory lunch at The White Lion with our close family and friends. Lianne and the team took such fab care of our every need, both before the lunch with our group pre-order and seating arrangements and during our lunch. All of our group commented on the high quality of the food and drink served. The service and afternoon was so well enjoyed by all- thank you The White Lion

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere, wonderful company with friends and family. Staff really pleasant. We will be back again.

El mejor que te vas a encontrar

5 stars.great food and service. Friendly stsff. Very clean and fast service. Good choice on the menu.

Comida excelente, ubicación impresionante, y trato exquisito. Volveremos muy pronto

Amazing food, brilliant atmosphere, great menu

The food is very tasty. The price is very good. We were very satisfied :) Thank you

Una experiencia genial! Soy vegana y el chef me cocino un especial! Riquisimo!

We came for the Spanish Night in August and it was just brilliant! The food was incredibly tasty and well put together and the atmosphere inside the restaurant was great. My favourite dish was the manchego and chorizo with honey, really delicious and can't wait to return :). Thanks all for another great meal!

Visited to celebrate GCSE results. Last minute booking and we had accidentally booked only for 4 instead of 6 !!! It was very busy but the staff were wonderful and they happily fitted us in. It was the first day of the Spanish menu which we chose (the children had wonderful burgers) It was absolutely fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely restaurant. Excellent service. Thank you

Sat outside for lunch, all good.

Absolutely superb. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food gorgeous. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Delicious late Sunday roast dinner

We decided to visit this venue for the first time as they had a ‘Spanish’ evening. A group of 8 tried the full selection of Tapa and it was excellent. Great friendly service in lovely surroundings. We will be back soon to sample the main menu.

Absolutely excellent all round Went for the Spanish night and definitely didn’t disappoint Eaton here a few times now and just gets better every time The Spanish night food was traditional, tasty and exceptionally presented The staff were friendly and efficient at all times Highly Recommend

This review is not about the food, it's about a unbelievable incident that we encountered. My wife called to reserve a table for six as we wanted our pet dog to join. She got a reservation at 7:15 and got a confirmation sms on her phone. When we got there, the lady at the counter told us she could not find our reservation and she could not have any additional booking that night. A gentleman came along and told us a woman called a short while ago asking about the pet friendliness policy but she hung up before making the reservation. We were then being offered a table right next to the bar. Five minutes later, my wife arrived and showed the confirmation sms to the lady. She said we might have mixed up another restaurant, White horse instead of White lion. That's both interesting and creepy! If the gentleman is telling the truth, my wife would not have finished the reservation and could not get the confirmation message. If the lady was correct, how would my wife received a message from a restaurant she had not called and therefore would not have her phone number. If my wife did call White horse instead of White lion, who was talking with the gentleman and asked about the pet friendly policy? The most sensible scenario would be: my wife did called White Horse about the pet friendly policy and coincidentally, their policy is the same as White Lion. And at the same time, the gentleman at the White Lion received a called from a woman asking the pet friendly policy and wished to reserve a table for six but hung up before making the reservation. I felt sorry I had coused the trouble at the White Lion because they seemed to be very busy at the moment we entered. I felt embarassed as we were asking too many questions and making a fuss. We should have visited White Horse even if we had no idea what it was, where it was and how their food was. At least we got a true and responsible answer.

Amazing food well presented and tasting great. Service on point would highly recommend. Will definitely be revisiting when next in the area

Overpriced, small portions, unfriendly staff. Having worked in the hospitality industry most of my life, this pub/restaurant is seriously lacking in good customer service, presentation of food & prices that are not truly realistic given the current economic climate.

Had another great meal today. Service and food excellent. Feel very lucky to have this as our local.

Nice place and friendly staff. Good pub food but I'm not sure it's matched to the somewhat aspirational prices (£20 burgers; 2 lagers and 2 fruit-shoot-equivalents = £18). Kids menu has a "starters" section.

Lovely place and garden, worth a visit.

What a beatiful place and what a disappointment. Great looking menu but that is where it ended. Two of us ordered the salt beef sandwiches with chips. one had fish goujon sandwich and one had the pork belly with chips. The diner with pork belly was very happy and the chips looked and tasted excellent. The two salt beef sandwiches came without chips. When the chips arrived they were very undercooked and tasteless, a total contrast to the excellent ones with the pork belly. In hindsight we should have sent them back. The salt beef sandwich was salt beef with a bit of what looked like red cabbage on top. No mustard mayonaise and no pickle. They were totally tasteless as were the fish goujons. More miss than hit at this place. I wouldnt return.

Over priced in every way. £27 for a £10 (retail not wholesale) bottle of wine. £20 for fish and (few) chips. Lamb pavé that was over cooked and tough to cut. Extra half Yorkshire pudding (flat) and roast potatoes provided - despite being requested no extra gravy was forthcoming. Tiny slice of salted caramel cheesecake with spoon of cream - £7.50! Absolutely nothing here you couldn’t get more of and just as good at a Toby carvery (or similar).

A fantastic venue for dinner and a beautiful side room overlooking fields. However we were shown menus and then just left for over 20 minutes, no one came to take a drinks order or show us the specials menu board. Having walked and spoken to a server to ask for a bottle of wine, we were still just left when it was brought to us and no one came for the food order. Having spoken to staff again another server who was very polite and pleasant took our order. The food was very nicely presented and tasty although the crab starter was two small blobs of crab amongst the salmon both of us were surprised and expected more crab. Our main courses were delicious and the Chippie tea artfully wrapped in paper for an authentic touch. The orzo looked and tasted amazing. Ordering the cheese for dessert for one of us and asking for a liqueur coffee as well for my girlfriend there was sadly a 10 minute wait for the coffee to arrive after the cheese was served. Again delicious cheeses with very pleasant chutney and biscuits. The staff are friendly, polite and personable but sadly tarnished our overall experience on the night by their lack of attentiveness. Such a shame as visits to another pub in the group nearby has always been brilliant.

This is an amazing pub with incredible food and a great pub garden. Staff are really welcoming and friendly, and it’s a really dog friendly pub. Found parking to be easy because the cdd se r park is very big. Came for a roast but we’ll be back for a birthday soon. This is a top top place.

Mega Sunday roast, offer of extra roasties and Yorkshire pudding mid meal is a lovely touch.

Excellent food, friendly staff, a veey pleasant place to eat. Prices were a bit punchy though.

We have been here several times in the last 6 months, and yet again today... Simply amazing! Food just delivers every time without fail and front of house are just so friendly and welcoming. Thank you guys., Your fabulous 😍

Nice pub , great food and drink .

A reular eating establishment. Thankyou

Great pub with very friendly staff and good food.

Sat us in a place inside that apparently attracted flies, spoilt our whole meal. Maybe a ceiling fan or something to circulate the air would help, sticky plaster will attract more flies as would a uv light. We were told the flies also gather around the coffee machine maybe the machine needs to be cleaned more often?
