I had Pad Thai and my colleague had teriyaki salmon and both dishes were delicious! Unfortunately we didn't get the prawn crackers we ordered but the polite staff apologised and refunded the cost of these. Will definitely visit again

We used to love the food at the White Lyon and Dragon but we were disappointed on this visit. It seems that the restaurant is under new management. The lamb massaman curry had chewy lamb that look as if it had been cooked in a microwave. The salt and pepper squid also tasted as if it had been bought as a ready meal. The jungle curry was a watery soup with out any flavour or spicy warmth. We will not be going back.

It may look like a pub from the outside, and it is indeed a pub too, with a wide selection of drinks, but as a restaurant it's a nice atmosphere, friendly service, and tasty food, definitely to be recommended in the Guildford/ Woking area

We love the food here. It's local, tasty and reasonably priced. Service was slow on our last visit, for a Saturday night they seemed short staffed.

Very welcoming but unusually poor service after that even though it wasn't busy. Much reduced menu now, and many of our favourites have gone. Lukewarm food that also lacked taste. Sadly not what it used to be.

The whole dining experience at The White Lyon & Dragon is made even better by the attentive staff. The quality of the food is without question... which I why we recommend this establishment to colleagues, friends and neighbours. It is well worth spending that bit extra.

Food was excellent, decor lovely but service was slow. Took 3/4 of an hour to place food order and get drinks. Once food delivered it was very well presented and hot.

Great food, not the best environment and the staff are how can I describe it... interesting on our last visit... we overheard the life story of one of the senior members of staff who was telling another member of staff all about his day and night before across the restaurant for everyone to hear!

Food was amazing! The Laska was quite honestly the most gorgeous thing I've ever eaten! Everything we ordered was perfect. It's not the cheapest but the quality is high. Only downside is having to wade through a load of drunken 'Locals' to get to the restaurant. Broken glasses, swearing etc etc. I wouldn't want to bring my parents here thats for sure. Shame. Think about proper separation guys if you want the excellent restaurant to be taken seriously. You can't expect such a quality restaurant to thrive when you have to endure the locals to get in. (We even went on a "Quiet" Sunday evening!

Everything wonderful as usual except for a new male member of waiting staff who was pretty miserable and not at all friendly. Not the usual standard of staff here.

The White Lyon and Dragon, local, plenty of parking, excellent service and the food was delicious. Busy which gave the restaurant more atmosphere but not noisy We have been before and will definitely go again. Booking through Quandoo was so easy. Slightly disappointed they do not take the Diamond Card anymore but a real treat. Would recommend going.

It was disappointing when a group have used this venue for at least seven years. The starter took an hour to arrive then main course was cold. The manager reimbursed us and we will return one more time only.

The food is always lovely and there is a quiet, relaxed atmosphere which is perfect for enjoying the extra food you can order with a tastecard! The service is discreet, efficient and friendly. A favourite with our family and friends.

We arrived at 20:30 on a busy Saturday. Decor was very elegant and tai ( like) , we where seated and offered drinks and crackers . The waitress talked through the menu and we all (4) ordered differently. The food came out quickly and what a delight it was , one of the best tai restaurants I've been to and will definitely return ! We had 3 drinks each starter and mains with sides , the bill was about £130 without the tip ! 👍🏼

A well-run venue that is deservedly popular. The Thai cuisine on offer is served with a smile, and is authentic - fans of hot food will not be disappointed, whilst those who prefer a quieter approach to food are catered for equally well.

Unfortunately, this time the service was very bad. I had to get up from the table after our starter had been sitting on the table for,10 mins to get the wine. I had to ask for the second plate and when it arrived my chicken had obviously been cooked and reheated, it was tough. My coffee arrived and we had to call the waitress over for my friends. They were very busy but being two women we were ignored, and I could not get anyone's attention at any time.

Excellent service and food is divine. Customer service at time of booking was very good as I received a phone call within 5 minutes of automated confirmation to say that there may be a small delay when we arrived. Very happy to know but on the day it never happened and we were seated promptly. Will definitely visit again soon.
