Amazing place to be Monday to Sunday whatever your evening is about - eating, meeting for a drink, listening to live music, having a meal or dancing!
A great evening of delicious Brazilian food and Portuguese wine. Could you get a better Monday night in Beeston? Oh and a band to listen to whilst eating. Thank you.
The best Guinness in Beeston
Not had a bad meal yet, good service too
Fantastic night, highly recommended :-)
Excellent classy venue!! We had a family gathering for my son’s baptism followed with a delicious buffet. Staff and manager were exceptionally kind and welcoming to all of us. We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect venue, we were really impressed with the food, staff, outdoor area and how we had a section of the pub at no extra cost. Food was very well priced. Would definitely choose this venue again for further celebrations :)
Since this pub has been renamed "Black shale" and had a complete overhaul, it is so very much improved. Really comfortable , and very good decor. Very helpful, and friendly staff. Superb foods. Myself and a friend wanted something to eat, but, not too heavy. So we both chose "Fish finger Sandwiches". When the food came , we were not disappointed, it was superb, hot, tasty, food, and just the right thing to have.... We were both impressed. I would recommend it to anyone. The seats were very comfortable too...👍👍. This pub is also near the Beeston Interchange near Beeston Square - so very easy to get to by tram, or bus....

Something to note. The original White Lion has been taken over by Lincoln Green brewery. It is operated as two separate bars. The White Lion bar serves mainly cask beers. We visited the second bar, called the Blackshale Inn, that has its own separate entrance. We booked on line which was easy to do.
We had a warm welcome and taken to our table. We were given the menu's that includes gluten free options which is great as my wife is a celiac.
They pleasingly have their own gluten free beer, Marion, and I had one of the brewers craft beers Drifter. This was a lovely fruity beer, quite strong at 7.5abv.
We had gluten free goat cheese souffle and potted shrimp as starters, both very nice. We followed with a gluten free porchetta belly pork and blade of beef for mains, both were really nice, we thoroughly enjoyed them. I also had another beer, a stout this time called Black Ripper at 5%abv, again very nice.
The staff were really helpful and friendly and we liked the way the restaurant was laid out.
The menu isn't vast, but that could be a a good thing, given our experience.
This was our first visit and it certainly won't be our last. We need to try the White Lion bar next.
We would thoroughly recommend on this showing.
Updated old pub. Split into the White Lion pub and Blackshale restaurant. Lovely and clean as you'd expect from a new venue, with great staff. Good choice of Lincoln Green beers in both sides. Nice pub snacks in the White Lion and posh nosh in the Blackshale, although a bit pricey.
Didn't have any of the food although the menu looked good. Came for the quiz, absolutely brilliant.
Great service.
2 Canadian thumbs up.
Only eaten at White Lion once for Sunday lunch - enjoyed meal & manager & staff very friendly & helpful. Been in for evening drinks a few times. Good choice of beer and friendly bar staff. Good to see this major refurb seems to have been successful as for a long time it has been an eyesore but it's totally turned round.
Friendly and entertaining staff and quite simply the best tasting spaghetti and meat balls I've had in years. Decent selection of drinks, good portion sizes and the place is clean.
They asked how spicy I wanted my meat balls and they came out amazing.
Will be going again whenever possible.
Great bar good choice of ales and great menu with seasonal dishes as well as standard pub food .
Fantastic Sunday lunch , the beef is pink and succulent, the pork is really tasty and the chicken is beautifully cooked. Prices start at £17.95 upto £21.95 for mixed (all three together)well worth it !
We only had drinks, most enjoyable as we stayed for 3! Will go back to try the food in the near future. The menu looked nice and well proportioned, there was plenty on there to interest us. Service at the bar was to be expected, little to no waiting. See you soon.
