The White Lion is an independent traditional country pub in the beautiful Meon Valley, Hampshire, in the village of Soberton. We have developed a fantastic reputation for delicious locally-sourced food, and popular local Real Ales from Bowman Brewery in W
To add to this, we have recently renovated our Grade II listed stables and coach house and turned them into accommodation to give you a fantastic offering of “luxury in the country”. The rooms are beautifully decorated, allowing guests to enjoy the ambience of the original architecture.
I was looking for somewhere nice, not too far from my partner's office, to take her for dinner, and I'm so glad I found this place 😀 I think it's fair to say that it's off the beaten track, but a lot of the best places are. We went straight from work, feeling kinda peckish, and left very happy, having had some iovey food (see pics) and drink in a nice, relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.
We had Sunday lunch here in the restaurant and it was great. All the food looked and tasted delicious (2 roast beef, 1 roast lamb and a prawn linguine, followed by syrup sponge and custard, apple crumble cheesecake, and strawberry ice-cream). The alcohol-free Gordon's gin is good too. The two young men who served us were pleasant and efficient, one readily agreeing to an extra portion of custard with the sponge pudding. The setting in the middle of Soberton is lovely, next to a green, with an outside eating area under parasols. The only downsides are the lack of a car park (parking on the road can be a bit tight if it's busy) and the occasional biker who feels the need to rev their engine by the front door before setting off (but there's always one - and it's not the pub's fault!). We'd definitely recommend and would return as the food was so good.
Excellent meal!! The best food we have had in a long time. Pie of the day was delicious, and came with veg and potatoes / chips. Reasonable price too £14.95 Kids menu is small but the food was great and a huge portion. Service from the young waitress service was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable and interacted with our son. The best bit though was the puddings..... OMG. The cheesecake was incredible.
Beautiful little place with friendly staff and ‘proper’ pub food. I had a delicious chicken, leek and bacon pie (with pastry all the way round, not a casserole with a lid!) and my friend had a homemade chicken Kiev - both meals were really good and the cosy atmosphere meant we had a brilliant catch up.
What a brilliant 'Good Old English Pub! ' Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. I had the most delicious Steak and Ale pie..Ever! (cooked in house by Liz & Tan) and an excellent pint of ale, brewed just down the road 🍺👍 Made my holiday, thank you 😁 Steve and Desirée
