"First visit to this restaurant and I’m sorry to say it’ll probably be the last which is a shame as it has the potential to be a fantastic establishment. My wife and I arrived with friends on a Saturday evening for a much looked forward to meal, only to be greeted by a very standoffish waiter and a dining room (the bistro lit brighter than a night match at Wembley stadium. After my retinas had got over the assault I was presented with what I first assumed was an old folks home only to be told that this was where we were eating. (Very disappointed to find out there was no bingo! The menu was great but unfortunately every dish came with a huge dollop of unasked for salt. I’d like to say that the waiter came over to enquire how the meal was but he didn’t. I’d also like to say that I was able to quench my now raging thirst with some delicious wine but we weren’t offered the wine list at any point despite a big deal being made of the wine cellar in the hotel description. We all finished our meals feeling quite disappointed and after a very brief discussion as to wether we should say something to the waiter we decided we were all far to British to cause a fuss and just wanted to pay the bill and leave. On payment in the reception we all noticed that the waiter seemed to be double checking to make sure that we’d actually paid the bill and not done a runner adding to a general feeling of feeling very unwelcome."

"that was a good pub restaurant before. there seems to be a bad retention and a high turnover of employees who think about management. the steak I ordered was chewing and full gristle. I said the waitress politely that she would get the manager/Koch/Barman out of the kitchen. gary, the above mentioned helicopter of all trades, seems to do the work of all, instead of managing that he has not arrived. a few minutes later the waitress asked if we would like more drinks. I explained that I wanted to solve the problem first with my meal and she went back to the kitchen. finally gary arrived and in a very condesctive way explained that rib auge steak has some fat in it. I am aware of the sibling that gives taste, but not gristle and steak as hard as it is like chewing leather. in no phase I offered a replacement or another option, but after a waiting period of minutes since my complaining and the sight of cold gristle before me I was no longer hungry anyway. gary's attitude was risible. he has no customer service skills and did not make any excuse or offer of any kind to put it right. he simply produced a bill for the whole meal (minus the steak), which was wrong anyway, as there was an additional glass wee on it. he changed this with a pencil entry and stood above the table while we paid. we took family members to this pub and its attitude, lack of civil society and general ignorance made this a very unpleasant experience. we will never visit the dog again, a once excellent pub restaurant ruined by its bad administration and high turnover of unfortunate and overworked employees."

"We booked a table at least a week in advance for 2pm on Easter Sunday to dine two adults and a 3yr old. On arrival we was greeted and seated quickly. A drink was served on the table straight away a long with menus to browse over. People arriving after us are being seated either side and communicated to while the dining room is filling up. At least 35 minutes has passed since we arrived and the staff haven’t been to see if we were ready to order. The three of us are sitting with empty glasses awaiting communication. A quick glance at the front of house staff and they are all stood talking behind the bar drinking tea and coffee while the guy in the kitchen has come out to take the orders from the table behind us, their dinner arrives a short time after. Thinking this was odd I decided I would go for a walk up to the bar and ask to place a food order myself. Skipping starters now as our little girl getting very hungry and is starting to get upset because she would like some food. We decided to just go with mains as we needed to get some food for her soon. Our order was taken, sat back down patiently …still looking at our empty glass and it was clear no upselling was not happening and we waited another 30 minutes. An hour now passed in total, So we had another visit to the bar and asked if we could settle the drinks bill and sadly we will be on our way to find somewhere else to eat. Great for a drink in the sun next to the river. Cannot comment on the food but the service and communication was some what of a nightmare sadly ,it could have been a £100 plus cover. Such a shame. Would still recommend giving this place a try to others as it’s located in a beautiful spot, but on the day we had a bad experience."

"What a most unpleasant experience eating here. This is such a shame as it was our 4th time previously staying here and every time it has been fabulous food, service, accommodation. It seems to have new ownership and having being closed for a while has opened to very little staff serving the worst food I have ever been given. Firstly we ordered a bottle of Prosecco, it arrived, already opened with about 1/3rd gone from the bottle. This was quickly resolved. There was only one other table in the bar with us, yet once we ordered our food we waited about an hour. During this time we were told the ‘chef’ had to restart our order and we we offered a bowl of nuts. We ordered 3 cod and chips and 1 belly pork. When our food eventually arrived, I cut through my fish, which was still frozen and oozing with water. This could have made one of our party seriously Ill. the belly pork was bland, no colour, with a few veg that were limp to say the least. We told the manager, who was only on his first week of working there, who quickly took the food and asked if we wanted to eat anything else. We chose not to considering the poor quality food we were given. We did however decide to have a cheeseboard to share as we were so hungry. This arrived, with no crackers and one slice of stale bread. Again, inedible. We went to our room hoping that breakfast would be better. This in fact was just as bad. The black pudding was rock hard and the rest of the food Luke warm. We didn’t eat it and left straight away. I have been waiting to hear back from the owners with regards to an email I sent but after a week, am still waiting for a response! I will not go back here again which is such a shame! Avoid if you want to eat some nice food!"

"The Pepperpot Brasserie is at the White Lion Hotel, bang in the centre of Upton. If your idea of a great meal out is the latest gastro pub built from a catalogue and charging prices that are a step above their rank, then the Pepperpot is probably not for you. If you appreciate really excellent food ranging from the traditional to the innovative at a very fair price and with excellent service in more traditional (but not dated) surroundings then the Pepperpot is the best for miles around. I visited again for a weekday Lunch on the 16 June 2017 and have to say the new menus are better than ever. For starter I had the Duck Confit with Balsamic Roast Plumb (off the Al a Carte menu). It was superb nice crispy skin but the meat lovely and moist. Really tasty and nicely complemented by the plumbs. Would definitely have again. For main course I chose the Gourmet Stack off the Summer Lunch Menu. Try this and you will never want to order a burger again! Forget burgers, this is a beautiful layer of quality Fillet of Beef (really tasty and tender) topped with slices of tender and lightly peppered chicken and finished off with a piece of quality bacon and a little mustard dressing. All served in a bread bun which put the typical burger bun to shame. Just all real good quality meat! Fries on the side together with an mayonnaise and relish to finish it off. A burger at a gastro pub? No thanks, never again! I finished off with a wonderful cheesecake which was server with fresh fruit berries and was golden literally! Yes, topped off with gold leaf. Everything is fresh and if you have any special dietary requirements whether personal choice or medically dictated they will do their very best to accommodate you with style! John and Chris who the White Lion deserve real praise for putting such effort into ensuring that their food is really something special, that the service is efficient and friendly and that the prices are no higher than so many places that just cant compare. They have just celebrated their 20th anniversary running the hotel and restaurant, and with so many places changing hands every few years that is a real testament to their skills and hard work. There are Lunch, Dinner ' Board ', A la Carte and Lunchtime Quick Fix (fixed price) menus plus the obligatory Sunday Lunch Menu. So no excused not to give it a try! I eat out a lot, have been coming here for 20 years and it still has its place at the top of the list!"
