The White Lion Gastropub in Worksop

50 Park St, Worksop S80 1HF

About This Pub

Ah, The White Lion – it's one of those places that just hits the spot for a good night out without any fuss. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the food is where it really shines; folks are raving about the generous portions and tasty dishes like those juicy steaks and homemade pies that leave you feeling well satisfied without breaking the bank. The staff come across as genuinely lovely, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly, which makes the whole experience feel warm and inviting. Plus, with the beer garden and events like live music or quiz nights, it's brilliant for soaking up the vibe on a sunny day or catching up with friends over a cold ale. On the flip side, there are a few niggles – the opening times look a tad muddled, so you might want to check ahead to avoid any disappointment, and while it's mostly positive, that 4.4 rating hints there could be the occasional slip-up. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're in Worksop and after a place that's reliable for good grub and a laugh, but it's worth keeping in mind it's not going to wow you with anything too out of the ordinary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The food is absolutely spot on – think perfectly cooked steaks, generous portions of homemade pies and pasta packed with flavour, all at really good value like the Two for £20 deal.
Friendly staff who make you feel right at home, with quick service and a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for a casual catch-up or a special night out.
They've got a lovely beer garden that's ideal for lazy afternoons with a gin or a cold pint, and it's dog-friendly too, which is a bonus if you're out with your furry mate.
Loads of fun events like live music, quiz nights, and steak specials keep things lively, and it's a great spot for a quiet drink or a full meal.
Overall, it's a contemporary social space that's well-maintained and offers excellent quality for the price, making it a top choice in Worksop.

Cons

The operating hours seem a bit confusing from what's listed, with some inconsistencies that might leave you double-checking before heading out, potentially causing a bit of hassle.
While the reviews are glowing, the overall rating of 4.4 suggests there might be the odd off day or mixed experience not captured here, so it pays to go in with realistic expectations.
It's mostly focused on food and drinks, so if you're after something more unique or adventurous, it might feel like standard pub fare rather than anything groundbreaking.

Not sure if i should do our review or our dog’s review ! Our husky was delighted to have his own menu to choose from and cleared his bowl.Our steaks were cooked perfectly. Very generous portions. Highly recommend

Called in Friday afternoon for a quick bite and a pint. Had the crispy chicken ciabatta and fries. Excellent quality and unreal value for money for a tenner, washed down with an ice cold pint of estrella Galicia! Happy days !!

Anthony Hull

Danny Caulfield

The food is absolutely gorgeous, there was barely anyone in (early on a weekday) so we got to choose our table and had quick service. The food was all home cooked really good, not standard pub food at all. Pie was full of meat, gravy was great. The pasta was full of chicken and chorizo, we couldn't finish it all!

Fantastic place for a quiet drink or Fantastic food. The Big One roast for 18 quid is worth its weight in gold, weight being the primitive word as its huge!! Friendly staff and a well maintained beautiful place. Highly recommended 👌
