Lasagne to die for wonderful food. Scampi and chips lovely as well. Only downside to the pub is that you had to buy Cole in bottles not on tap so proved quite expensive
My favourite pub in Norwich. No TV, no music, no games machines. Just good beer, excellent food and friendly atmosphere. Just what a pub should be.
Often here for Sunday lunch. Really great food, friendly staff. Highly recommend.
I just love the atmosphere of the White Lion.
Always friendly staff on behind the bar, serving good ales & spirits with a smile and engaging decent conversation.
The food is not bad either, in fact it has been very good every time we've had a meal there, and it must be good because we've taken several friends and family members there for Sunday lunch many times over the last 3 or 4 years.
Very friendly and welcoming staff. Great range of ales and even more choice of ciders. I didn't eat there but the food looked amazing and very good value.
Lovely pub with friendly staff and customers. Bar billiards table, very well kept ale and cider. New chef (Oct 17) does AMAZING roast dinners...
Fab roast , I had pork and my girlfriend had the beef and we both really enjoyed it. Will be back
Excellent pub! Great selection of extremely well kept ales and ciders. The food is awesome and the menu brings some really different dishes to the table. Also, the staff are lovely and know their stuff when it comes to drinking!
Love the extensive selection of ciders 🍻
Great Sunday roast (slow cooked pork) with the best crackling and Yorkshire puddings the size of Yorkshire.
Brilliant selection of beers and ciders too!
We'll be back!
Delicious Saturday lunch and a perfect pint too! Consistently great and very recommended.
Made to feel welcome the minute I walked through the door... Great real cider and a passion for getting it right
Great booze up Edmund !!!! Ah.... great boo....is up!
Last minute decisions are sometimes the best ones 😊
Outstanding Sunday roasts at the White Lion. Washed down with a very well kept beer🍺 (for me) and a cheeky red wine 🍷 (for Mrs B).
Highly recommended, and book if you plan on going as it is understandably popular and busy 🍽
Really enjoyed my early Sunday afternoon here - exceptional beer selection for a small, fairly quiet back street pub of cask and keg of various styles and ABVs, quite the Cider selection served from boxes, very friendly knowledgeable staff, and the Sunday roast (Gammon in cider and maple with all the trimmings - I had with Salopian’s hazy Sabotage) was absolutely superb, and good value at £15.95 for the roast I thought. Very few spaces available for walk ups on Sunday which speaks volumes. Many CamRA awards on its walls as well, and quite right too.
We really enjoyed Sunday roast, including vegetarian option. Plenty of fresh vegetables and homemade Yorkshire pudding, delicious. Good value for money. Spoilt with variety of beers and ciders available. Will definitely go again.
The White Lion is a really nice traditional pub. There is a good range of excellent hand pulled cask conditioned real ales. There is a really nice front bar and a cozy room behind it. There's also another room with a very popular bar billiard table. I was told there are two leagues in Norwich and there are about a dozen pubs with the tables. The staff are friendly and it is a very welcoming pub.
Stunning roast dinner with a wide selection of meats, one of the best treacle tarts and a fabulous range of beers and ciders. We’ll be back!
Lovely country pub in the heart of the city. Recently named CAMRA Norwich pub of the year for 2023. Excellent selection of beers and cider, terrific service and first rate Sunday lunch.
First visit to this pub, driven past many times but was always in the car so drinking was out the question. Yesterday however I walked in to be met by the Landlord and what a great reception, very welcoming and it was quickly established he is very knowledgeable on his beers.
Stayed for a couple of pints and very much enjoyed it there. Will 100% be going back.
It would be very hard to find fault with this pub as everything was spot on its like a country pub in the city.
I understand they are also multiple awards been given to the pub each year.
Absolutely worth a visit.
What a sweet pub. Make sure to prebook as this place is booked up quickly. The food was incredible and the vibe is so welcoming.
Fantastic first visit for a Sunday Roast, greeted with a welcoming atmosphere. Pub was full of regulars, families and the young discerning crowd. Lovely selection of real cask ales on offer. Exceptionally efficient and friendly service on top of that. Will be back in the near future for a bit of bar billiards. An underrated spot in what is often a forgotten but characterful part of the city.
The White Lion is a very friendly pub with a good atmosphere and great choice of beer. I’m told the Sunday is excellent too.
