White Lion Pub - Isle of Wight

Passed this pub on the way to our holiday accommodation and noticed that there was a sign saying proper pie, mash liquor sold here. Decided to come back at a later date but it took us 3 visits before it we managed to find it open. Beware, various websites have different opening hours for it. Undeterred 3 of us finally sat down to our favourite dish whilst the other 3 including our grandchildren settled for something else, equally appealing, off the menu. The Pie, Mash and Liquor was from Manzes and was authentic, tasted very nice, if a little on the pricey side. Nevertheless the 3 of us enjoyed it. The welcome and the service were both very good.

Been wanting to try this pub for longtime. Brilliant menu, nice beer garden. Dog friendly. Had 2 course set menu, very tasty Everyone friendly. Here to next time

Popped in here on the off chance whilst visiting the area to have a drink and finished off by staying for a meal. Found the staff very friendly and welcoming, food was very nice and enjoyable. Would visit again and recommend well done

Not a good sign when the owner sits himself right by your table and proceeds to berate his staff. The food was slow to arrive and some had nearly finished whilst others were still waiting for theres. It seemed to us our veg and potatoes were probably re-heated from lunch time, dry and hard. Not impressed and won’t be back.

I went there with a couple of friends as they had told me it was a place to go for a lite bite to eat with good parking. The food arrived promptly, and tasted very nice, however there was a strong smell of cannabis either coming from behind the bar or the staff member who seated us.
