Excellent... friendly staff who were approachable and helpful. Very good food menu, and we'll presented. Prices of food and drinks as expected, and reasonable. Will be visiting again as very impressed.

Nothing caused concern.

Never Had Any Left Before It Was Served

Nothing. Everything was Perfect. The Only one Thing I Was Disappointed on Was Not Having A Light By The Dressing Table Mirror as there was not enough light for a lady to do her Makeup.

Unpretentious and clearly popular rural pub - but not one for us, I'm afraid.

6.0

We were looking for a rural base from which to explore Rutland for a few days and opted for the White Lion, as it seemed well placed and in a quiet location. It advertises itself as a 'pub with bedrooms', which is spot on. The pub is unpretentious and welcoming, and is very dog-friendly. It is clearly popular with locals, too. The bedroom was simply decorated, comfy and clean. All the staff were friendly and attentive.

Unfortunately, I don't think our stay was well timed. Our bedroom was above the bar and, while we didn't really mind the noise while one of the England world cup matches was on (understandable and fortunately a fixture that finished reasonably early), the pub also had events in the small garden to the rear on the other two evenings of our stay, which were very audible. Additionally, on two of the three evenings the pub was offering a limited menu: Thursdays are apparently a set 'pizza and salad night'. On the other night they had a reduced menu as there was only a single chef due to the annual road race. I was disappointed that we weren't made aware of this when we booked for dinner, as we had done so well in advance and the pub would have known about both of the menu limitations at that time.
