WhiteLion

The White Lion is a pub with a distinct Indian identity, sitting in the Royal town of Sutton Coldfield. The kitchen leans into fresh, authentic Indian-style cooking — the kind that covers a lot of ground without cutting corners. There's something here whether you eat meat or not. The menu moves between crowd-pleasers and more considered plates. The spiced chickpea curry is a signature worth knowing about, and the soya tikka and paneer tikka shashlick give vegetarians and vegans something genuinely satisfying to order. Onion bhaji, tender beef or lamb in a rich tomato and green bell pepper sauce — it's a range that rewards a proper look through the menu rather than defaulting to the first thing you recognise. The setup blends pub familiarity with Indian flavour in a way that feels considered rather than gimmicky. Dishes are available to eat in or take away, making it a flexible option for different kinds of corporate occasions.
