Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We met friends for lunch at the White Lion and were looked after by Camden, who was friendly and attentive throughout. The food was excellent as was the whole experience. Will be visiting again and would recommend.

We called in for an evening meal along with our 2 large dogs. Despite it being only 5.30pm on a Thursday it was busy. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly to us and the dogs. It's obviously a regular place for people to drop in...and meet after work but despite being tourists we weren't made to feel unwelcome, it was the complete opposite to that. The food was excellent and despite being busy there wasn't a long wait. The barman/licensee didn't stop serving drinks and meals but he was polite, friendly and welcoming. He even found time to bring our dogs some treats.More

I visited here for Sunday Lunch with my family. I had telephoned before to check whether they could cater for my restricted diet (Gluten Free) and they were very helpful and said they could so I booked. I was not disappointed. Very professional. They exceeded...my expectations. The food was delicious and I didn’t feel like I was missing out. They made sure I had all the trimmings that everyone else had and I would like to thank everyone working today for the great service they provided to me and my family. I just wish all food establishments were like this. Thank you once again.More

First visit as in the area bank holiday Monday , Inviting clean and spacious eating areas. Ordered large mixed grill and steak with all the trimmings , Food arrived quickly and was excellent . The homemade onion rings are to die for. All meat cooked...as requested and was piping hot. Good ale and cider too. Lovely staff and nothing was too much trouble. A real gem and will certainly call again if we are in the area. I imagine it is lovely for children as there is a lovely beer garden with child friendly climbing experience . Well done all.More

The White Lion is rated the #1 place to eat in Leominster. From our experience today, this is a difficult rating to justify. While the staff were, broadly, friendly - one waitress was helpful, the other pretty disinterested - the food was, at best, distinctly...mediocre. We order variations of steak, gammon and chicken, all of which appeared at our table in a kind of grey/black colour. The food was very salty - regardless of dish - and the quality was simply not what we would have expected from such a highly praised pub. The #1 place to eat in the locale. So: while the White Lion is probably just about ‘fine’, it is absolutely no more than fine. Moreover, in the context of its rating on this site, I’m sorry to say it is very disappointing.More

Super Beer! A delight of prawn cocktail , sauce just enough to coat the sauce rather than drown the prawns, crisp fresh cut salad. Steak a little over medium asked for distinct charring on what I received. Staff warm and welcoming. Toilets clean

We often use this fantastic pub to meet up with family ( as some of us live in Hereford, while other’s Leominster) and it’s never disappointed us. Booking to reserve a table easy, owners and staff extremely friendly. Place is clean and tidy. And a...lovely beer garden. L, and great service, your made to feel very welcome and at home. We can not fault the food. I had the gammon , many of the others had a mini mixed grill, my mum had steak… all piping hot and delicious! Really worth a visits.
