On August 31st, my family and I were on a tour with a wonderful guide (Jill Pretorius of Windsor…read moreDay Tours)... 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!

We came here for a traditional Sunday roast dinner and were not disappointed!…read more They were out of the beef but that's ok because chickens and ham (gammon) were delish! Yorkshire pudding is a bread, we call it popovers in the US. Unlimited "yorkies" with your roast. Kiddo got the kid chicken sandwich!

The ambience / interior decor is very cool, such a British Pub feeling. The staff was very friendly…read moreand supportive of our party of 10 that came in for dinner. The menu was diverse; and everything looked good. Everyone in our party was pleased with their food. Full bar menu too. The only negative was the food service was slow; for appetizers, drinks and meals. I would recommend and I will be back if ever in the area.

I'm always wary of something that calls itself Quality without any prefix. Good quality, bad…read morequality? terrible quality??? It's not so bad though. I had a front room, 102, that was big and warm and comfy. The shower had a 90 degree squirting problem but otherwise fine. No restaurant anymore, but the bar food was pretty good. I had a ploughman's, a risotto, ham hock terrine and a chocolate mousse over the two nights I spent here, and they were all lovely. The barman was very nice and helpful, and the receptionists pleasant. The only thing is that is is too dark to walk into town in the evening. It's about a mile but pitch black! No street lights and the paths were strewn with leaves and branches. Scary.

There is no elevator so if on the second floor it is a bit of an exercise up 2 flights of stairs. The hotel is close to a lot of the shops, pubs, & restaurants. There is parking. The actual reception desk is in the back where the parking is, so remember that. Overall this has been a pleasant stay.
