| Sorry to go on - but this is yet another pub with a Reading postcode which is actually a long way out of town (no buses so you will need a car). It is more food-led than a beer house but has a lovely setting and will appeal to many. mcroyal - 1 Sep 2011 23:20 |
| Had a lovely lunch here. Food is uncomplicated, well presented and delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. Very reasonably priced and a lovely setting. Would definitely recommend and will definitely visit again. lizzierob - 13 Mar 2011 19:38 |
| Had a great Sunday lunch here recently. I'd not eaten here for a few years, but it's been under new ownership since September and I'd heard good things so wanted to try for myself. Sunday lunch menu has plenty of choice including a really good roast. It was full so I'd advise booking (glad we did). Has a lovely garden for the summer and with such good food and friendly staff, we'll definitely come back. Missyhissy - 10 Feb 2011 23:50 |
| Very poor food. Ordered the sea bass. For £10.50p I would have expected a decent sized main course. The fish was miniscule and over cooked so I sent it back. I then said I would have the standard two course lunch instead. The whitebait starter was also of poor standard. Small whitebait (and yes I know they are small ! - but these were I think the smallest I have ever been served) - again over cooked and the mussels for the main were supposed to be served with bread and appeared with chips !! Also I asked what the mussels would be served in ie would it be a cream and white wine sauce. Assured it would be, but there was no sign of any cream. Mussels again over cooked. Quite dreadful apart from the bread which we were given while we waited for the food to arrive. When I queried the size of the fish the member of staff they merely said that that was what they had received from their fish monger ! - not really an excuse for an over priced small portion over cooked meal. horsing_around3339 - 3 Dec 2010 18:54 |
| Arrived today for impromptu lunch to be informed by departing staff that the White Lion ceased trading last Sunday and is now up for sale. Hellskitchen - 1 Dec 2009 17:41 |
