We used to eat at the White Lion regularly and it was good wholesome pub food. We were never disappointed. We decided to go again tonight and my biggest regret was actually not complaining when the food was served. I had Cheese and Onion pie. It was wafer thin for this dish and very, very small, the chips were like Aldi frozen chips only not as good. My wife had fish and chips which was like a large sardine with the same disgusting chips. Sadly we ate most of it not wanting a fuss, however when the waitress who was very nice) asked I told her our feelings. She went to the kitchen to relay our message but the chef/ manager did not care to see us. The food was expensive and very poor quality....
Home from home! Edit, April 2024. Had Tapas meal, Thursday evening. Greating and service as friendly as ever. Tapas menu list has a wide choice, and well designed layout with meat, fish, vege dishes segregated making choice easier. The usual favourites and a good variety of other interesting options. Dishes well presented and of good quality. My wife and I had seven dishes between us. We finished up with a doggy bag and no room for dessert. A substantial meal. Price very competitive. We will definitely be back for more.
We came here for a drink after going for a walk in the local area. It was a sunny afternoon which we were able to enjoy from the fairly large beer garden outside the garden had a relaxed atmosphere with nice views of the surrounding hills, it is also dog friendly which is a big plus for us. Fairly limited selection of drinks on tap but bottled options also available average prices with both pints coming in at just under a tenner. Inside, the pub maintains a retro feel which is quite small but cosy.
Don't waste your time and money here. We waited 30 minutes for a drink and 40 minutes for our food at our table. It might be okay if you're just having a drink at the bar, but anything else just isn't worth it. The food was also subpar and made a few of us sick. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. Just terrible.

This is one of my top choices when dining out. They offer a wide variety of gluten-free options that are always delicious. I especially enjoy their tapas menu. The service is excellent. I highly recommend this place.
Just had a wonderful meal at the White Lion for Mrs ToddWarrior's birthday. The tapas was brilliant, especially the pig cheek mains. Good value and great wine! A proper Saddleworth gem.
If you like big portions this is the place for you had a fantastic meal here liver and onions service spot on. Can't wait to go back
Authentic pub serving good food. Friendly staff and reasonably priced. Can't go wrong.
