A short drive down a country lane to Osmington Mills brought us to this 13th Century hostelry. 'Pay and display' car park (reimbursed by the Inn if you spend an equivalent amount or more) and a short downhill steps leading to the entrance. If you are over 5ft 9in then remember bend because, as the sign says 'duck or grouse'. Nice selection of real ales and the usual libations. Plenty of seating inside and, even more outside. Great, friendly, service but it does get crowded on those wonderful sunny Dorset days. Food looked really good and appetising at a very reasonable cost. If you are in the area a definite visit.

Out in the wilds of Dorset, it's easy to imagine the nocturnal nefarious behaviour of yesteryear. Still, the pub's worth the drive to, and there's the opportunity of a coastal walk along the cliffs too, to build up an appetite for lunch over a couple of glasses.

We had already walked all over Winchester, we were on our way to Stonehenge, we were excited and hungry, but also jet lagged and exhausted! Jill brought us to The White Lion joking that, being only 400 years old, it was practically a brand new pub! We came in (mind your head), and were immediately sat down at a big, groaning, family table! Water was served, beers and ciders followed, and then meat pies and fish and chips were ordered all around! This meal was absolutely delicious in the way that only homemade country pub food can be. The cider selection was excellent, and we left refreshed, happy, and ready to take on the rest of our day (mind you, we ALL passed out cold in the van after Stonehenge and on the way back to our hotel)! Thank you so much to the ladies of The White Lion Inn & Pub for your extremely warm hospitality!! Much love! I hope to make it back one day!

What a hidden gem of a pub, recently reopened after many years. It has been fully refurbished with…read moretouches of rustic wood and is a very comfortable, warm pub with a lively atmosphere, down a Dorset lane. All home cooked food, quickly prepared and brought to your table. There is a menu of light meals but more substantial offerings are on a blackboard above the bar, such as: roast pork with vegetables, Boeuf Bourguignon with vegetables or cauli/broccoli cheese crumble with/without new potatoes to name a few. There's also a special puddings menu. Delicious coffee is served with Pringle type mint chocolates. Prices are very reasonable. Upstairs is a complete surprise, with lots of comfy chairs and books to browse. This floor leads onto a large decked, roofed area which would be ideal in the summer of a leisurely evening drink. The loos are great too! Well behaved dogs allowed and are even given a few chews as a reward. Highly recommended.
