If you are looking for good quality, freshly cooked, local fayre, then this lovely country pub set in the beautiful village of Great Longstone is the place to go. Always a friendly welcome and such hearty portions of delicious food.
4 of us spent Christmas Day here. Lovely atmosphere and decor. The food was outstanding and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were very busy and did an amazing job. We were in the restaurant alot longer than we anticipated but overall excellent food and we all had a fabulous time. 👌 🎄
We booked for Sunday lunch at the White Lion as there were so many good reviews. We were not disappointed the roast beef we had was cracking, loads of veg, tender meat,Yorkshire pudding the works in fact. The staff were all really nice and the price was reasonable too. Would have given 5 stars for everything, atmosphere was spoilt a bit by a yapping dog - which was irritating. Not the pubs fault but if having dogs in pubs they should be well behaved.
One of the tastiest pub food we had. Tried bull's head foolow for first peak District dinner and felt it was alright, good but could do much better with the burger. Then second dinner here at white lion - finally up to what we looked for. Lamb shank well slow cooked with carefully made potato stuffing; the beef shin pie was beyond the regular, full of tender slow cooked beef, with well made red wine sauce! Staff were also so genuine and kind..you can feel it. The cocktail could be better presented, could do with more rum options, but already glad they even got a cocktail menu..
Great local pub with friendly staff. We were a party of five who enjoyed every bite of our lunch which was excellent value. I had the beef shin & red wine pie which was a good choice, the beef melted in the mouth and was simply delicious. Unfortunately we didn’t have time for dessert which was a shame as they looked good!

The Stable Bar, as befits its name, has a somewhat rustic ambience, and retains many of its original period features such as the sloping flag floor and the horse stalls, in which customers now sit amidst horse tack & hay rack.
