White Lion — Restaurant in East Hertfordshire

The roast dinner although it was presented well and had some good flavour had obviously been sitting in the oven pre cooked for hours, it was so bad when eventually I managed to cut a roast potatoe there was nothing inside ! Never seen one so dried up and shrivelled. The roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were inedible. I was offered replacements by the very polite and helpful waitress but by that time is eaten the rest. In short they should not have been sent out of the kitchen. I paid full price for 2 carrots a ball of stuffing, a parsnip and a few greens..plus 1 slice of beef... with 2 ice cream sundaes the bill came to £60.. oh I had to laugh at the cheek of the Terrys chocolate orange cheesecake... it was crumb base with I'm sure just actual cream cheese and 1 segment of a Terrys chocolate orange poked into it, presented in a cup and saucer. Once the orange segment was eaten there was no orange flavour at all...and yes i had 2 puddings because i didn't feel like I'd eaten any dinner at all...on top of all this there were around 15 very noisy men at the bar, it wasn't a pleasant...

We’ve just moved to Hertford and on a walk exploring the area we came across the White Lion and decided to stop for lunch and what a great decision. The pub is lovely inside, really tastefully done out with a welcoming atmosphere (not like some places ive been in the past when you’re a new face) the staff found us a table for lunch even though we hadn’t booked and looked after us for a very enjoyable few hours. The landlord Adam came over to introduce himself when he heard we were newbies and made us feel very welcome, told us all about the regular calendar of events they put on like the Reggae / Ska night with Jerk Chicken and live band in a few weeks that we’ll definitely be coming back for. We can see us spending many happy times with Adam Karen and his staff at their pub and can’t recommend it highly enough. I haven’t even mentioned the big beer garden!...

Homely pub. We were told to sit where we liked and the service came with a lovely smile. Rather cold in the dining area and the pub should have utilised the fireplace to warm the place up rather than just have fairy lights in it. My wife ordered ham off the bone, chips and egg and I ordered a crispy chicken burger. To be honest neither were that great although cooked well and presentation was good the chicken burger was tasteless and the wife's ham looked like gammon out of a tin which was slimy and again tasteless. Everything...
