This Pub is Closed Long Term

In September 2019, it was announced that a community group were looking to buy the building which has been derelict for 6 years and reopen it as a pub.

In 23/11/2020 Pailton Parish Council purchased the freehold of the pub.

The hope is to re-open the pub along with community facilities and possibly a shop.

In November 2023 an application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund was submitted for funding towards the delivery stage of the project and £2 million was secured in May. The community hub will have a pub, restaurant, café, shop, post office, accommodation, enterprise units, co-working space and landscaped gardens.

It's hoped to open the shop in early 2025, and the pub by the end of the year.

Community Owned

Freehold Owner: Parish Council. Pailton Parish Council. Year Purchased 2019.

A group of Pailton residents who want to see The White Lion re-open, and with the support of the parish council formed a campaign group.

In 2019 Pailton Parish Council purchased the freehold of the pub. In Aug 2024 the Parish Council was awarded £2.04m by The National Lottery Heritage Fund to restore the building and turn it into a community hub. The plan is for the pub to be run by a Community Interest Company (CIC). Renovation work has commenced and in Jan 2025 was still going on.
