"We recently moved into the area and have slowly started to visit local eateries and pubs, The Tripadvisor reviews for The White Lion made it sound lovely. Oh, how first impressions can be wrong! Firstly the site says the pub is in Castle Headingham, it’s not! It’s in Sible Headingham. Very frustrating when you have walked and it takes you completely in the opposite direction! How has the owner not noticed the site is wrong? So back to the visit. We walked in the front door to be told “oh good you’re here, the chef wants to close the kitchen as he needs to clean down to do the burgers for the football” there was no offer of a menu, starters etc, just beef or turkey, oh and chefs “special” cauliflower cheese. All of this in the first 30 seconds of walking through the door! We both ordered the beef, this was a disgrace to the culinary profession. The vegetables looked grey, like they had been cooked for ever and maybe even microwaved, the roast potatoes I’m sure were mass produced Aunt Bessie efforts as they were all uniformly shaped and sized, the Yorkshire Puds were definitely frozen ones. The cauliflower cheese (the chef makes the sauce himself you know! was flavourless and covered in cheap mild cheese that tasted of nothing. The worst part of the meal was the beef, it was wafer thin, commercially produced, grissle, I would not be surprised if it was reheated Tesco sandwich beef out of a packet. All this for £15 a head!!!!! Whoever cooked that meal should be ashamed of themselves and should not have the privilege to be called a chef if that’s all they can produce out of a professional commercial kitchen. We will definitely not be visiting again!"

The staff at this restaurant are incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the landlady who is very welcoming and ensures all orders are taken care of. The food is fresh, tasty, and great value for money. I enjoyed dining in the garden/courtyard area, which was cozy with charming outdoor lighting creating a lovely atmosphere. Overall, I would rate this restaurant a 5 out of 5 for both the food and experience. The average price per person is between £20-30.

"We came here on a last minute hunt to find a Sunday roast with family without much expectations. However when entering its a lovely set up and we were greeted by Lee and Alison who looked after us for the meal who just to begin were absolutely brilliant, they really care about the customers and make this place extra special. Now for the food you can get a 2 or 3 course meal so everybody made various selections but all had starters. Most went for the Aarancina which isn't your usual starter with a Sunday roast but for here it packs alot of flavour and is a great way to start the meal. They have a great selection of alcoholic beverages I went for a simple beer. For the main roasts we had a variety of meats I wanted the pork but sadly they had no crackling which was half the reason for ordering but if I am being honest after eating the meal it wasn't missed out the meat was tasty full of flavour but the sides were the key. The roast potatoes were of a top level usually when you eat out they are never as good as eating at home, the Yorkshire were huge and tasty, gravy brilliant with plenty to go around and lots of veg and cauliflower cheese on the side. Honestly this was excellent a really good roast probably the best I have ever ate in a resteraunt. Some of the others had the lamb shank which was huge and had great feedback but the beef was great and so was everything else. So yes check it out eat in and eat some great food in a nice setting with absolutely brilliant service you won't be disappointed."
