See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

An ivy-clad, unspoilt, 16th century pub with stone steps leading up from the street. Previously a coaching house, there are three separate bar areas and a restaurant serving top-quality food where the open fire smokes locally sourced hams. Four real ales are served, one of which is a changing guest. With monthly music and quiz nights, the White Lion is a perfect example of an English country pub with a lovely nostalgic ambience. It has a large South facing patio and gardens. Voted local CAMRA branch country Pub of the Year 2013.
