The White Lion, Crays Pond

Very poor food. Ordered the sea bass. For �10.50p I would have expected a decent sized main course. The fish was miniscule and over cooked so I sent it back. I then said I would have the standard two course lunch instead. The whitebait starter was also of poor standard. Small whitebait (and yes I know they are small ! - but these were I think the smallest I have ever been served) - again over cooked and the mussels for the main were supposed to be served with bread and appeared with chips !! Also I asked what the mussels would be served in ie would it be a cream and white wine sauce. Assured it would be, but there was no sign of any cream. Mussels again over cooked. Quite dreadful apart from the bread which we were given while we waited for the food to arrive.
When I queried the size of the fish the member of staff they merely said that that was what they had received from their fish monger ! - not really an excuse for an over priced small portion over cooked meal.
