A large former Home Brewery pub built in the 1960s and easily identified by the large red lion rampant on the pub frontage. Facing the Victorian Ripley Town Hall and Market Place at the centre of this busy market town, close to the main bus stops. With a typical Wetherspoon's interior layout, the pub serves several changing ales (see real Ale Finder) and the food menu is available all day.

Historic Interest

The current building was built in 1962 on the site of a former pub of the same name dating from the early 1800s.
