White Lion Beeston — Restaurant in Broxtowe

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...

There was lots of space and availability, but it was still busy. Both sides of the pub have a bar, and a beer garden outside. There was a good range of beers, and the food was absolutely to die for. My friend and I had the burger, and it was locally sourced, hand made, and the pulled pork was delicious.My other friend had the steak, with its own peppercorn sauce and it looked divine. I would heartily recommend this pub, and call it a hidden gem, even though it's on the main road. There is parking on two sides of the pub, with access inside using various entrances, including...

I have been to the White Lion a couple of times. They do specially themed food days. I think the owner is a Portuguese guy, and the food, especially the burgers are amazing. The Hungarian Street Food guys frequent the pub gardens and cook their own food to the joy of the eastern European residents of the city and anyone who loves "langos" or Hungarian style black pudding. They serve standard branded beers, and I reckon the wine range is better that a most average pubs (and there is nothing wrong being an average pub). The pub garden has some benches and tables, a worn three piece under a roof for rainy days and committed garden sitting types, and some outdoor...
