The Old White Lion - Menu

Wonderful landlord and great staff . Wonderful all all round Beautiful place cannot fault Anything, has to be visited to believe five star treatment thank you xxxx

I recently hosted a birthday party for 60 people at the Old White Lion and it was fantastic. The food was delicious and the staff was very attentive, making it a wonderful evening.

This charming pub is a bit pricey when it comes to drinks, but the food is excellent. I have dined here multiple times and highly recommend the fish and chips as well as the chicken schnitzel.

Absolutely wonderful place to stop by for either a quick drink to joining a bunch of friends for food and drinks. Warm and inviting, comfortable yet still has that originality about it. The staff are fantastic, greeting you with smiles and always courteous. Did I mention they are dog friendly also?

Absolutely wonderful place! From popping in for a quick drink to meeting up with friends or family for food and drinks to a Sunday lunch it’s got it all! The staff are absolutely lovely, friendly and courteous! Great atmosphere with such originality about the place; it’s really warm and inviting. Major plus is it’s also dog friendly!!

Arranged a surprise party for my wife’s birthday. Amalia and her staff were absolutely outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. We booked the room at the back of the pub which was perfect for 30 guests. Food was fantastic We picked the Platinum buffet and everyone commented on the quality and amount available. Can’t thank you enough for making it a brilliant day and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a local venue. You will be seeing us again

Very disappointing, what was advertised was not available. Apparently sold out. We showed up at 12.30 and they had sold out of the lunch lamb special which was odd as they were not any other customers in the restaurant, We were not allowed to sit at requested tables they were ‘reserved’ but nobody showed for these tables. The steak pie although tasted ok had maybe 3 small pieces of meet for £20. The service was so slow that I went to the bar twice to order drinks and deserts. A service charge was added to the bill which I have no problem with if the service is good. We paid our bill at the bar as waited 15 minutes for the bill. I mentioned to the waitress that it was not a good policy to fib...

I live round the corner from the pub, so I like to pop in from time to time for a couple of pints. As I’m local I’ve got to know most of the people behind the bar enough to know they’re all a decent bunch. I like the fact that they and the pub cater for every walk of life- be that like myself, popping in for a quiet drink, a family for a meal, or even (given the size of the venue) large events whilst still serving their faithful locals. It’s also a very dog friendly establishment, so if you and your family have taken your pets out for a long walk and fancy refreshments- you’re more than welcome here. I’ve only ever been in there once when one customer complained to the friendly staff about a...

My wife and I live nearby, just three stops away on the Northern Line. Instead of going to our usual spot for Sunday lunch, which requires one of us to drive, we decided to try out the Old White Lion in East Finchley. The food was presented nicely, with my wife ordering roast sirloin of beef and myself opting for a rack of lamb. However, when the food arrived, my wife had to ask for horseradish, which was forgotten and only brought to the table after she had almost finished her meal. The rack of lamb was delicious, especially the red wine jus, which was the best I've ever had. Unfortunately, the sirloin of beef was overly fatty, making it difficult for my wife to enjoy her meal as she had to...
