We were in here recently on one of our regular Pub crawls of Barnet. Its now a Fullers house but its a very nice and well kept & clean pub. Looks like its recently been decorated. Its a Nice traditional pub with Two bars one at front and a larger bar at back where there was a band playing some Jazz. We had Two pints Of ESB and a Pint of London Pride both Ales were in excellent condition. We found the staff & other customers very welcoming and polite. I would definitely recommend popping in if passing and I will adding this Pub to our regular crawls of Barnet.

I have been going to this pub for several years, before the refurbishment it had only ever been due to its location, however following its brilliant makeover and change of hands it is now a pub I choose to go to over others in the area. Karl is very welcoming, and it is a relief to see a slightly more diverse age range in the pub. The drinks are very reasonably priced and the pub is relaxed and accomodating.
In addition, in the several years that I have been drinking in the lion I have never known a Louise behind the bar...

I've recently started frequenting the White Lion having moved back to the area and cannot believe the difference. A friendly welcome and fantastic atmosphere along with friendly staff have made my return much easier. Wonderful re opening after a refurbishment have only set to enhance the overall White Lion experience. Well recommended for drinks and food alike, a bright future for the new landlord and lady who remember their customers and go out of their way to make a relaxed environment. I will be recommending this establishment to all.

since karl and Sam took over at the start of Nov 2010 its brilliant....they get on with everyone(unlike the last landlord!!)and Karl is a dab hand in the kitchen also....I tried his tai green cuury last week and was gorgeous!!
Yes the place is looking a bit tired but having a re-furb in a few months so I'm told.
the food menu is very good, it's now clean!!
really happy my local has re-opend....couldnt of hand picked two better people 4 the job if I handpicked them myself!!!!long live the LION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have to admit that I was a bit daunted about visiting this pub after reading some of the reviews however being a notherner I was made to feel very welcome..enjoyed a lovely roast dinner at a very good price. Place needs a bit of work however the couple running it Karl or Carl and Sam were very friendly and have created a nice atmosphere..good stuff

A bit jaded and faded but still your archetypal pub lay out with front bar and rear lounge which doubles as a dining area at times - though for a change it does seem like the food takes second place to drinkers for a change. Clientelle and barman were friendly enough and the Pride was under three quid a pint which isn't steep for the Lonodn area these days. Saying that though the ale wasn't up to a lot (and it is a Fuller's house) and I'd probably go for the lager on a return visit.

looks nice from outside with the flowers and all that but inside was a let down. pricey, unwelcoming and disinterested bar staff. won't be back.

Seriously gone down hill in the last year or so. What's happened to the food?

This place has a restaurant feel, but the small separate bar area is very relaxed and I enjoyed my time here. The barman and governor were very friendly and I got chatting to a regular at the bar who seemed nice enough. The Discovery was top notch and Pride, ESB and Osset Brewery’s Black Bull were also available alongside some standard lagers. There are a couple of old TVs and the pub has Sky Sports which is always handy.
I wouldn’t plan to go back here again for the pub itself, but I will pop back in again based on the hospitality that I was shown.

Lovely local pub, looks really pretty from outside with all the flowers. Very friendly staff and great food at good prices.

Used to be a popular boozer. After top Landlord Tony sold it to Fullers its been downhill all the way. Biggest RIP OFF prices in the area. About £4 for a vodka nad coke. Full of wideboys from the market on Weds and Sats.
