Wheatacre White Lion

Liked Nice clean and well maintained pitches. Well spaced. Basic site ideal for an overnight stay. Chemical toilet disposal and fresh water supply available. The pub was lovely, warm and welcoming. Food was delicious and a vast selection of food and drinks available.

Disliked Found a couple of the electrical hook ups were faulty and did not work. Also only toilets available are inside the pub, so only available during opening hours. But this is made clear during booking.

Liked Liked the pitch size and the area close enough to the seafront but far enough out to be peaceful . Great price per night.

Disliked Lack of toilets at night and could do with shower and toilet block. The wifi doesn't always reach the site but didn't bother us that much

Liked The food in the pub was really good and the staff were very professional.

Disliked It is clearly pointed out during the booking process that there is no on site showers which isn't a problem but we had assumed there would be a toilet accessible that didn't require going into the pub. Again this didn't cause us an issue but what did cause an issue is the lack of control between pub customers and the camping area, when we left the pub after our meal, what seemed to be a local regular in his land rover had parked next to my campervan within my designated pitch meaning I couldn't wind the awning out if I wanted to.

Review of Wheatacre White Lion Caravan Park & Pub

I booked a night at the caravan park here for £25 through Pitchup.com while visiting an old Navy shipmate I hadn’t seen in over 40 years. Thankfully, only a £3 deposit was taken, because I didn’t end up staying.

On arrival I parked my campervan and tried to hook up to the electric supply, which was literally held together with gaffer tape. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t work. That set the tone.

We went into the pub hoping for a relaxing drink and a meal while catching up. My shipmate’s drinks were poured, but when I asked for a menu, I was abruptly told they were “fully booked” and the earliest we could eat would be 8pm. This was at 4pm, and the pub did not appear busy. I declined my drink and switched to a Coke as I knew I’d be driving away shortly.

The young girl behind the bar was very rude, and what made matters worse was that senior staff were standing nearby and did nothing to offer a compromise. Even a small gesture could have saved the situation, but instead they lost what would have been around £100 of our business.

All in all, it was a very disappointing experience — inhospitable and poorly managed. Thankfully, I found somewhere else to stay with friendly staff and an excellent meal, and the pitch there was free if I ate on site.

Rating: 0/10. I would not recommend this place unless major improvements are made.

Liked Great pitch sizes
Peaceful location
Pitches well maintained

Disliked Online it says that there are pub toilets and a toilet block on site … however to our disappointment there were no toilets on site and the only ones we could use were the ones inside of the pub (Closed at 10.30pm) With 3 children if we had have known we may have reconsidered somewhere else.
The food from the pub that we ordered was burnt, we didn’t say anything because with 3 children waiting so long for our food it would have made the wait time longer / to rectify and they was getting impatient.
The children’s meals also came out on a very hot plate which was too hot for husband and I to pick up so placing them in front of children of 13, 10 & 1 year was not the best idea.
We then paid cash, 20 minutes later no change… We had to ask for the change.
‘Free’ Wifi did not reach outside to our pitch.
