The White Lion in Amersham is a local pub that has developed a following well beyond its immediate postcode. The kitchen covers a genuinely eclectic range — hunters chicken with garlic naan, goat curry described as outstanding, tikka masala that has generated fervent word of mouth, and a roast duck pizza for those who prefer their Sunday afternoon in an unexpected direction. Chef Baljandar Singh and the front of house team led by Vikram and owner Tushar have created a warmth and quality of welcome that reviewers describe with unusual feeling: favourite restaurant, coming back for anniversary and New Year’s, recommending to every foodie they know.
The music is lively and well chosen, the patio seating and generous car park make it practical as well as pleasant, and the masala tea has been singled out for praise by those who ordered it on a whim and were entirely glad they did. A pub that offers something genuinely different from its Amersham neighbours while remaining thoroughly accessible.
