Visited for dinner for an outstanding dinner, food was cooked to perfection, speedy service and a great selection of beers. Also dog friendly which is great. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a great getaway at a local country pub with a warm fire. We also stayed at a lovely local Shepherds hut within walking distance called Robin’s Nest for anyone looking for a great weekend away.Kid-friendliness: Incredibly welcoming

Brilliant weekday lunch.

Some of their dishes have small size (really handy, thanks!), and some are different/original. Puddings include affogato or churros. Very good food.

Lovely village local. Great welcome and bar staff. Safe car park. Lovely warm fire and great choice of ales. Will definitely be back. Food options look very good and reasonable price so will try those next

First time visit for food and drink on a damp night. Sat by the log burner to warm up and had a great meal with a oint of Salopian Shropshire Gold with the locals. What a local should be

Called in on a mid-week evening for a drink and meal. It was lovely to enter a warm and welcoming hostelry with log fires burning, in both the bar and lounge, where we were seated. We tried the locally brewed Salopian and Stonehouse Brewery ales, which were in fine fettle and then had a thoroughly enjoyable meal, accompanied with a bottle of delicious red wine. We had a memorable evening, which included great company, a warm and cosy atmosphere in a lovely village inn. Well done the new owners!
Booked for the Sunday roast for my wife's birthday as had heard many recommendations for the White Lion, they weren't wrong, absolutely fantastic food very reasonably priced. Staff were excellent couldn't do enough for us. booked again for the following Sunday :)

The atmosphere is always great at this pub. The food is always above and beyond expectation and the service is always great. Lovely ale

We visited today to celebrate our dear friend’s birthday and wow, what a magical afternoon we had. We had booked a table in the old stables as we wanted to be able to sing happy birthday without upsetting other diners with our terrible singing voices. We were given the lovely table in the corner by the fire, which was just perfect. We were served by a lovely young girl, who made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. We all had roast dinners and not only were the flavours incredible, but the presentation was perfection. My partner is actually a chef himself, so he’s not always the easiest to please food wise but he said this is now his new favourite place for a rare day off. The pub is under new management and it was immediately evident that they’ve made significant improvements to the place since we last visited under the old management. With improved menus, nicer decor and fabulous service we’ll definitely be returning again soon for a date night!

Such a disappointing visit. Ushered into the Cow Shed. Zero atmosphere, stressed staff. Asked for water, didn’t arrive. Had to ask for cutlery, food cold by the time we had the cutlery. Food was ok, hot or even warm would have been nice. Asked for the bill, didn’t arrive, went to pay and left. Not asked once if everything was ok, in which case I would have mentioned it. First and last visit. I suspect from overhearing other guests that they won’t be returning. £50 odd hard earned money would have been better spent elsewhere. We wanted to support new owners. I hope things improve in the future for them as they have the foundation of what could be a great country pub. Beef was good (but cold) having been dragged from the pub to the Cow Shed. Over cooked broccoli, under cooked cauliflower cheese. The half a carrot and slither of parsnip taste was good but again cold. Ice cream scoop of mash….cold. I’m looking for some positives but I’m struggling to find them with either with the food or service.
