Acquired from Punch Taverns by Joule's in August 2013, the White Lion re-opened in May 2014 after a lengthy refurbishment. Now tastefully decorated in Joule's signature wood & stained glass style. Four drinking areas surround the island bar, enabling a wide ranging clientele. TV screens proliferate in the front rooms showing varying sport. May stay open to midnight Sunday - Thursday and 1am Saturday & Sunday if enoigh custom. There is a large south facing garden with picnic benches; an enclosed shelter known as the Lion's Den with TV and a bar. There is a car park at one side of the pub.

Food is not served.

Serves Pale and Blonde as regulars. The third beer will be either the current Joule's seasonal or small batch beer.

Historic Interest
