The White Lion - Carta

The food was excellent and the beer was good. Everyone in our group was satisfied with their meals, but the service could have been better with more staff.

We found the staff so very friendly in this wonderful pub. It was a hot sunny day so we enjoyed drinks in the garden but was thankful for an umbrella for the shade. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Abi and her team were really helpful in organising a recent family wake. They listened and responded to our requests and were able to support us to adhere to the COVID requirements. We were pleased with the event and the service we received. Thank you. Ver carta

I went to lunch today with my mother. We ordered fish and chips, but what we received was an oversized dried-up fish finger. We asked for sauce and were only given one tiny sachet to share between the two of us. The atmosphere was lacking, and we felt completely ripped off. We left the restaurant still hungry. I will never be returning.

This pub was the quieter of the two on this part of the high street. Since the pub across the road was playing 'Build Me Up Buttercup ', I was keen to come here instead. The pun was really friendly, as were the locals and when a rogue man with a knife was wandering up and down the high street the staff calmly locked us all in and kept us safe. They dealt with it very well.

Dropped in for lunch with my mum. We had the liver casserole and I have to say it was delicious. It was home made and the seasoning and flavour perfect served with proper mash and vegetables that were cooked perfectly it was really good value for money. All the food coming out of the kitchen looked good. The customer experience was really good too the lady that served us was friendly and efficient. This was the best pub meal I’ve had in a long time and excellent value for what you got Ver carta

I attended a family gathering at this restaurant. The space was too small to comply with Covid regulations. There were 6 of us, all strangers, and we had to sit at a table meant for 4 people. The staff said it was acceptable. The landlady was rude and unpleasant. She should have been more understanding of the situation but seemed more focused on her regular customers. The food was not appetizing. This restaurant used to be nice, but not anymore. I would recommend avoiding it at all costs.

Came here for a lunch function of approximately 80 people (think we pretty well took over the place! and the buffet was superb. A great range of choice from Indian nibbles to Greek salads and very generous portions. The rolls had so much content that many places would have spread it over two or three rather than only one roll! Despite our numbers and the best efforts of six hungry teenagers there was plenty left and the organisers left it for the benefit of the regulars to nibble on that evening. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. If their regular menu is up to the same standard I would highly recommend this pub.

We came here for lunch this week, and my companion had ham, egg and chips with garden peas, which he said were excellent. I had fish and chips and garden peas also excellent, in fact some of the best chips I've ever had, crisp on the outside, fluffy inside and piping hot. The fish was in large, moist flakes in perfect batter. We were very impressed and mighty pleased. The portions were so generous that I couldn't finish all my chips (very unusual for this greedy gal). The staff were efficient and charming, the place was clean and fresh as was the toilets (with a special key, which is a good idea healthwise). Yes, we love The White Lion at Thornbury highly recommended! Ver carta
