For friendliness and the warm welcome received by bar lady (wish i got her name) - I dont live in the area so won't be back, but a warm welcome goes along way... especially on a cold and very wet Sunday afternoon!
What an amazing pub to work at, the customers are friendly. Staff are amazing (although I’m bias ;) ) amazing atmosphere. Truly a great experience
Nice friendly staff behind the bar. Good prices for drinks and great entertainment.
Friendly locals local pub, would have liked to stay longer, but things to do etc etc. Thank you for the hospitality
Still going strong, they have lost the kitchen (bloody cost of living etc!), but have retained all the good parts. Great locals and good staff.
Tracey has been fantastic. We have been trying to sort a venue for our mum's wake. Tracey and the bar staff who took the call were very helpful and got the tone 'just right' for us. Tracey provided photos of food she had recently prepared for a party and was prepared to hand make all the food, including everything having a vegan option. She sent a WhatsApp tour (I am based in the Midlands) and a proposed menu to me on the next day.
The pub was very accommodating about my brother's disability when he visited and we really can't fault the people. Eventually, we chose another venue as we needed a car park for elderly/disabled relatives who are attending but if you are thinking of approaching the pub for a small 'do, I would say go for it. Highly recommended by us and a definite for a drink when I am down that way again. Thanks Tracey :-)
Nice and friendly staff and well priced with a good selection of beers
Originally called the Buck's Head, the pub was rebuilt around 1898/1900 and was operated by Hoare's Brewery until 1933 when they were taken over by Charringtons. It was renamed in 1990 to the White Lion of Mortimer when it was taken over by Wetherspoons, who had the pub until 2018.
I visited the pub on Sunday 26th July 2020. Of the three entrances two are now in use as a one-way system for covid.
The entrance is now on the side of the pub opposite the Mitcham Islamic Centre. There is a hand-cleaning dispenser on your right as you go in and a table in front of you with the sign-in sheet for NHS Test and Trace.
The corner entrance is not in use, and the exit is now the double doors at the south eastern part of the pub, which leads on to the streetside seating area. There is another outside seating area at the back, but that doesn't have access to the street. Seating space is limited, and used mainly by smokers.
You order at the bar where striped tape is placed to show which parts of the bar not to use. There are signs asking you to not stand at the bar after buying drinks. Cards are accepted for payment as well as cash.
The local history displays, a feature of Wetherspoons pubs, remain on the walls and there is an interesting mixture of local celebrities and old time photos. The carpet is also a Wetherspoon unique patterned one.
Drinks prices are very reasonable.
Photo is of the building in 2017 (when it was a Wetherspoons) which shows the entrance door.
