The White Lion Hawkes Mill Lane, Allesley, Coventry CV5 9FQ

"Poor quality food - fantastic waiting staff.. this is their Calamari starter! Chewy and tasteless didn’t even come with a bit of Lemon to give it some taste - shame as it’s a nice pub and the waiting staff are lovely but what comes out the kitchen doors is very poor"

"On our recent visit to The White Lion which was a party of 19 we all enjoyed our meals and excellent service. We had a problem with the service charge but that was all sorted within the week by the Manager to my satisfaction. In the future rather than reading the small print at the bottom of the menu about the service charge it would save happening again if it was made more clearly verbally. I have had many meals with my family and friends over many years and I would always recommend highly the Food and service. I shall be visiting again very soon."

"We were going to have steak for Sunday lunch, it was only 1pm and we were informed that the last steak had been sold, so the kitchen could plan better. I had the fish and chips which were lovely, my friend had the trio roast. The meat was lovely but it was new potatoes being used as roast, and they weren’t roasted, neither was the carrot nor parsnip, they were boiled, which was disappointing. There was also apple sauce put on the pork belly, which should be left to the individual as to whether they want apple sauce. We had starters too, the prawn and mango was lovely but the bread came without butter and none offered. The Camembert bites were great, would have been nice to have 3, 2 seemed very little"

"Lovely garden area with amazing food, the price was fair and the location is nice a quiet too! They are dog friendly too! Always a bonus."

"These were my starters as you can see no presentation ,the calamari was just chucked on the plate and the koftas were dry and burnt.They were sent straight back. When we went to order off the menu,the first two attempts we were told they had ran out,We should be told what’s not available on the menu firstly. The waitress had an attitude problem and only cleared our table after food and our drinks glasses were piled high by the end of the evening. We were seated next to to disabled toilets and they smelt disgusting and was dirty.I never put up bad reviews about places and never usually moan as I work in the restaurant industry myself,but this place has really gone down the hill and it’s such a shame to see."
