The White Lion Inn - Eden

Finding itself just a short hop from the YHA in Patterdale, this gem is a must visit on a weekend. Fantastic staff, really lovely people. Very friendly and generous. Great pint and the food was as hearty as required. A real beauty. Thank you to all the staff for making my friends 50th weekend truly memorable.

Great couple of days at the lion friendly and helpful staff, lovely atmosphere good food and a real fire. Will be visiting again soon.

Had a lovely meal. Good beer and friendly staff. We stayed overnight and found the accommodation to be great value. Will definitely stay again.

We went on Friday evening only to find that the kitchen was shut. Not even residents were being offered simple meals. Luckily we had options in our van for an evening meal. We did eat there on Saturday evening. My scampi was Ok. My friends all ordered beef burger. Whilst they all enjoyed it they all said that it was lamb not beef. Luckily none of them had any issues with this but it could have been a very different matter. The biggest issue on Saturday was that there was no draught beer or cider and no wine. This is a lovely little pub however I will not be visiting again until it gets its act together.

Initially offered us three choices of main menu. This then dropped to two. Then magically the chef found more options. Then some sold out. There was three groups in the pub! On third attempt we ordered and waited forty five minutes for food. Food was ok There was no vinegar. No mayonnaise. No eggs because they were all hard boiled. They did give us extra chips but a couple were still frozen. The next night they only had one lager,fosters! After two pints of Wainwrights that ran out to. The substitute was undrinkable. God knows how long it had been there. The youth hostel was far far better for food. It also had Birra Moretti
