Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

The 'lights out missionary' of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.

Traditional pub, but nothing extraordinary.

White Lion Public House offers a traditional pub experience, and while it hits all the right notes, it’s not exactly groundbreaking. The service is quick and friendly, with Ivana getting a shoutout for her attentiveness. The food is good, with solid options like fish and chips, but you won’t be raving about it for days.

It’s a nice spot if you’re in Covent Garden and looking for a reliable meal and drink. Just don’t expect anything too out of the ordinary. It’s clean, it’s decent, and it serves its purpose without any frills.
