WOW!! I hadn't been in here for a few years despite living nearby, but I called in for Sunday lunch…read morea few weeks ago after my dear mum said it had changed hands and things were on the up. I have to say the food was superb, at the time I think i even said it was the best sunday lunch i had ever had, I think I was a little taken a back by the quality of the food on offer. They have successfully managed to retain some of the old charm and proper pub feel, while making the dining a cosy, friendly experience that is all about locally produced food. The lamb had already sold out (turn up early or book on the phone if you don't want to miss out) so the three of us had duck, chicken and beef. Each dish was cooked pretty much to perfection and the home made yorkshire puddings were great. Sunday lunch just how it should be! This pub focusses on local, fresh produce all of which is prepared on site and served in simple, traditional dishes. The menu is short, but in my opinion that is the way it should be, as it means each dish excels. It is always so disheartening to find a pub that has 30 dishes on the menu as you can almost guarantee each one will be mediocre. Not the case with this pub. To top it all off the ales are well kept, the Bowmans "swift one" was a very refreshing pint and anything on tap from Hopback is a safe bet. All in all this pub comes very highly recommended, great food, nice atmosphere, good beers and friendly service, what more could you want?!

It's a little tricky to get to, narrow country roads, etc, but we'll worth it. If you wanting to eat I would advise booking and this place gets busy from the second it opens. Caters to all, especially families and has a wonderful garden and patio. Tim Gray is the landlord of this gem and is hands-on and welcoming. You will not regret visit this amazing pub.

The food was delicious and attractively presented, the staff friendly and the surroundings pleasant. We sat in the conservatory entrance with the doors open onto the garden.

It was already very dark and we came to a T in the road and saw the the town name of Crawley and decided to see if we could get some dinner there. As we came up the road we saw some lights ahead and the Fox and Hounds came into view. It was the only place along the road but it looked nice. As we were parking two other cars came in making us feel better. Inside the place was very quaint and the staff friendly. The food was excellent, beers on tap were nice, and the wine list was very good. My daughter had the special chicken and mushroom pie which was chock full of meat and the pastry crust was wonderful. I started with the goat cheese pesto and tomato salad and then my wife and I split the roasted lamb dish which was so very good. All in all this place is a hidden gem!

I have had a most memorable meal at the Boot - a simple affair in the bar that will linger long in…read moremy memory. All we had were grouse (from the famous Stockbridge butchers, Robinson's) and a bottle of Gevrey Chambertin, but it was perfect. The wine was decanted at our request and was absolutely delicious; rich and smooth, and was the perfect accompaniment to the grouse. The grouse arrived whole in a glorious rich gravy and dressed with spinach, game chips and bread sauce, and looked as good as it tasted. It was one of the finest meals one could have. The grouse was £21.50 - very reasonable. The wine cost considerably more. The service was perfect and the ambience, surrounded by locals, everything that a good pub should be.

They serve a lovely carvery with a choice of three meats, usually pork, beef, turkey, gammon and occasionally lamb.

The waiting staff are very friendly and quick to serve I have never booked, I have just turned up even on a Sunday and got a table but I get there at midday and while I am there it does get busy. There is also a menu to order from if you dont fancy the carvery.

Anyway it is the closest pub to our new home so we thought we would go here for a drink and see what it was like. I can't comment on the food as we did not eat and nor did we see anyone else eating. The barman was excellent, very friendly and talkative. The selection of drinks was a little down market with no quality ciders on tap and the only choice of proper cider was Aspall by the bottle. As it was nice we sat in the garden where, sadly, our table was littered underneath with cigarette ends and there were crisps and other debris littering the grass. That said there was plenty of room for active children to run around in a secure environment (fences all round) and there were loads of toys such as a badminton set, giant connect four, football goals. Etc. The patio area was bordered with a cinder block wall topped with engineering bricks which was a little odd and has clearly been done this way to be cheap. Which is exactly what this pub is. Less for the prices which were not particularly cheap at all. All in all not great on first impression. May well go back for a second trial but it won't be soon.

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!

Great historic building and good beers, i had food here some time ago which was great but not sure what it is like now, it is ever popular so i imagine it has not lost standards. It also has a little Jamaican Jerk shack in the beer garden (not sure when this is open). The large beer garden has breath taking views of Corfe Castle and the surrounding area and is worth popping in just for that Summer or winter! If your in the area certainly worth stopping by, fair size car park out back.
