White Lion Hotel

Very impressed with this little place! Only ended up here when the chain hotel I was due to stay in work a trip was full– so glad it was or else I wouldn’t have ended up here. For pretty much the same price I got a lovely suite (see pictures) with complimentary tea, water and my own coffee maker — perfect for that post dinner latte! Staff seem lovely and I was given lots of information on arrival. Next up was dinner. Popped down to the restaurant and was greeted with a great menu with lots of fab dishes on it. Opted for the Cajun squid with guacamole dip for starters and the pan fried swordfish with crushed potatoes, garlic green beans and salsa verde for main. Squid was perfectly cooked with a light Cajun batter and lovely guacamole dip. Cajun spices could have easily overpowered the delicate squid but this wasn’t the case– perfect! Next up the sword fish beautifully presented and perfectly cooked not dry at all which can often happen with swordfish. Very tasty salsa verde which complimented the fish perfectly. A couple of glasses of Sauvignon blanc to go with the meal and boom work trip turns out to be quite pleasant! If you are in the Crewe area be sure to check this place out and if you get the opportunity to pass up a chain hotel for a local place do it!
