Stayed here whilst seeing my father who was staying in the area was throughly impressed with the place, team members were friendly, food was incredible (very surprised) had both dinner and breakfast here and full compliments to the kitchen team and management. The room was nice as well though the mattress was a tad firm for my liking (just a preference not gonna knock off a star for that). Really lovely property will definitely stay again.

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, chose the Haddock which I am pleased to say was the finest battered fish dish I had eaten for quite a while .

Our first time visiting the White Lion yesterday for a breakfast treat. Ordered tea and coffee first but we had almost finshed the drinks before the food was served as it took quite a long time. Despite this, the food was good, the table service friendly and ambience in the restaurant area just right.

Our first time visiting the white lion yesterday after my sister raved about the food!So we decided to have a family roast there yesterday and it was really nice until we saw the prices, the portions and the service when we paid.The food took along time to come out our table was at 12 and after ordering took just over an hour to come out.For starters i had the winter soup which was amazing but only a 1/4 full bowl served with toast which was £7.50I had the roast beef and for £20 you dont even get a full meal you have to buy sides at £4.50 each. My husband had the burger which for £17.00 we both said is that it ?(Very tiny like a previous review)The roast was nice though just was £30.00 including cabbage & stuffing sides)Dessert we had was chocolate brownie (this was like cake mix that hadnt gone in the oven & taste was bland- i couldnt eat it)the atmosphere the whole time was too loud you had to shout to talk to someone oppposite you.We was having an alright time until we got given the bill- paid it and immediatly after was told - sorry but can you hurry up we have a group waiting for this table in the bar?(not sorry guys can we move you to this table ) - when you just want to sit and finish your drinks after paying the amount we did to get asked to leave is awful service.Service charge is also included as we was a table of 6 ?Not sure if we will return

Very good pub, staff were friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend the pepperoni pizza. Would come again.

I really like this place. The staff are warm and friendly and the food is very good. It's a pub, so don't expect cordon bleu, but if you want quality food, cooked really well, this is the place.

Friendly pub centrally located on the high street. Good food although a bit on the pricier side. Service was fairly relaxed. My half of Harvey's Sussex Best was in good nick. Although we were in the "restaurant" area of the pub this looked like a good place to just stop in for a drink as well. Plenty of seating outside and there's a car park, although the town car parks are free on Sunday which may be a better bet if you're going to spend the day in the area.Vegetarian options: Some vegan options on the menuKid-friendliness: Good kids menu

After reading some of the negative reviews I was a bit sceptical. We booked one night here as I had been given the cheese and wine tasting at Chapledown Winery for a Xmas present. i have to say we had a great stay, we arrived a bit early, but that wasn't a problem, one of the members of staff took our bags and promised they would be delivered when the room was ready. We then went to Chapledown had a great time and went back to the pub. Sure enough, the bags were in a very nice room, cosy, v comfortable bed and some nice welcome touches. I can see that some people say the bedroom areas looks a bit tired, I.E. The hall ways could use a lick of paint and maybe a new carpet but the bedrooms were great and all for £130 including breakfast! The band on the Saturday night was spot on too and the breakfast was lovely. But it was the staff that made the stay. My only criticism is that the cocktail we ordered was way too weak and missing another shot of vodka at least. But overall I could recommend.

Ordered a light snack, took some time to come, then was luke warm. Sent it back, was told they would re-do the meal and ready in 2 minutes. Half an hour later it arrived. Staff weren't that apologetic, momentarily asked if it was alright, backing away before I answered. Average snack, expensive for what it was. Then took an age to return to pay the bill. Charged full price including a 121/2% service charge. I suggested we only pay the meal and no service, since it wasn't good. No sincere apologies for the experience. Shocking!
