we were quite pleased with everything, the cook just needs to learn how to cook a proper burger, as it was solid & well over cooked.

The Staff working were great, but unfortunately they were short staffed in various areas. One meal was under cooked and had to be replaced. Which was done and the meal refunded. Would go back.

Very disappointed that no veg roast available for second time in a row despite asking for one to be kept for me in advance and no roast available for other guests either (all were looking forward to a Sunday roast). Nearly left to go elsewhere but hungry so stayed. Restaurant was not warm. Person serving was apologetic and very friendly and crumble pudding was scrumptious. Service was a bit slow. Toilets were a bit messy. Place seemed tired after a busy day. Not the best visit.

Had to wait for our table but the staff were really apologetic. Not their fault the people hadn't gone in time for our booking.

I have always found The White Lion at Brownshill Green (NOT Allesley) a great place to meet and/or eat. I have been visiting for over 40 years and seen the changes. My only disappointment is that you always seem to run out of the Chicken dish and I have to choose another and usually that is Fish 'n' Chips but all in all a good place to be.

new décor is really lovey and the staff were very friendly. 2 issues though. there was a dreadful smell - like drains, really disgusting not sure what that was about and one diners chips were cold. she had the gammon. were not complainers so said nothing, but compared to the other meals, they were definitely cold. having said that , would highly recommend and will be going again :)

My friend and I go there together and have done for many years , we love the place because we can eat and chat and catch up . The service was excellent however I was a little disappointed with the food as the quantity was poor . The prices are a little higher than they have been but that is understandable but the size of the lasagna was more suited to a child

Never scene the restaurant so quite! Slow service despite lack of covers. Decor showing signs of the need for a refresh. Cleanliness poor, especially the disabled toilet facility.

Excellent food & service. I wasn’t happy with the table we were initially offered, but they moved us without any fuss to a less busier spot. Waitress (can I say that now!) was very attentive & polite. We had 3 different meals across the four of us, and we all thought the food was excellent and well presented. Only live 3 minutes away, and hadn’t been there for a while (years), but they’ll see us more often now.

Generally good food quality. Steak was however rather chewy. No hot drinks possible since coffee machine was broken. Would not even issue hot water for tea - not possible? So how did they boil the vegetables? No small portions offered, only children's. My mother is 92; she doesn't eat normal portions.. So overall disappointed.

Dissappointing. No bottied mineral water, soup only warm, not hot, reheated probably in a microwave, Hunters chicken very dry, probably kept under heat due to delay with soup and only a tiny dish of sauce, no roast potatoes for the roast beef so had chips rather than the mash offered.

We haven’t been to the white lion for some time because of COVID-19 and so on. We were regulars and one point. We won’t be going back ever. The menu was very limited. We ended up having fish and chips. We thought oh well will make up with a nice dessert. No such luck. We sat for nearly 20 minutes with dirty plates in front of us while watching the two waitresses talking and talking they both looked on and saw us sat there we already said we would have dessert after. In the end we went to the bar and payed the bill. I told the waitress how long we had been waiting. Blar blar never again….
