    Booked through site as usual only to find when pulling into the car park the restaurant had closed down several days before. Was a brilliant venue and my wife’s favourite restaurant, so sad but equally disappointed they didn’t let us know. Also this site is still allowing bookings to be taken and confirmed!!!!

    The table had been booked for weeks, understand that the business had been closed but to not even send a generic email to people who had already booked is really poor. Turned up to a pub closed. Great way to spend a birthday.

    We had booked a table on line. We arrived and the white lion was in total darkness and closed. What a way to run a business.

    Service was slow and food was ‘uninteresting’.This used to be a great place to eat with a warm friendly welcome and attentive staff. Things have changed.
