Ordered a light snack, took some time to come, then was luke warm. Sent it back, was told they would re-do the meal and ready in 2 minutes. Half an hour later it arrived. Staff weren't that apologetic, momentarily asked if it was alright, backing away before I answered. Average snack, expensive for what it was. Then took an age to return to pay the bill. Charged full price including a 121/2% service charge. I suggested we only pay the meal and no service, since it wasn't good. No sincere apologies for the experience. Shocking!

I had a lovely pizza at the White Lion the other evening. Made freshly and cooked in their wood fire stone oven, it was so good! Will definitely be back to sample more of the menu!

Food is tasty and the service is adequate, but I paid 17£ for a tiny tiny burger, smaller than the children's portions. Horribly overpriced.

We had the most amazing Christmas party here last night. The staff were brilliant - a packed pub, no endless waiting, served promptly. Lovely atmosphere and beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Visited today for Sunday lunch waited a good hour for the food to arrive. I had beef which on the plate looked like scraps of what had been left of the joint.The roast potatoes were definitely stale. We have been so many times before and the service and food have always been excellent please don't spoil the quality and service it would be such a shame

Popped into the white lion for a drink with friends, greeted by Hannah who was very welcome was served by the lovely nicole, very chatty and friendly - great atmosphere

We had a wedding at Tenterden church. The location was ideal and comes with free car parking, The rooms are very spacious and a very good nights sleep guaranteed. We had Smallhythe room and my sister in law Rye room both with a nice view of the church and high Street. The bathroom was a large bath I'm 6ft and could lay and submerge fully in it with a shower over bath , Large bath sheets and small towel. Tea & coffee and a sparkling and still water in room. Breakfast is from 7.30 - 10.30 and caters for all tastes vegan etc, no cereals out and you pay for everything including tea & coffee which I thought a little strange as most hotels tea and coffee included in breakfast. However I would recommend The White Lion as it's centrally located in Tenterden and reasonably priced. It also has a great bar. Friendly helpful staff.

Food and drink were both spot on, let down by the service. If you have dishes not available on the menu you really should advise your customers before they order, there’s nothing worse than going to order a dish and being told it’s not available and neither is your back up option! Also maybe before you put your coffee machine through the wash you could ask your remaining customers if they would like one, was disappointed I couldn’t have an espresso based cocktail without being advised before hand. Considering we was one of three tables dining that evening, we was never asked for another drink we had to ask, only when last orders were called at 9.40 we was asked if we would like a drink. Evening would have been spot on if not for the above.

A lovely Christmas dinner in a festive atmosphere. We had a range of dishes between the 5 of us and everything was good. Our waitress Izzy was great too. We have Christmas dinner here as a group every year and it never disappoints 😊

Lovely location. Well furnished, very tasteful. Attentive staff. All the food was to a great standard, including kids dishes. The kids pizzas were top quality - beyond other pubs kids dishes. Highly recommend.
