The site currently has the ability to drive trade via food, community events and destination dining. It offers a selection of pub classics, popular beers, ciders, wines, spirits and cask ales.

We’re always open to new ideas — what would you do to drive trade?

opportunities include themed food nights, live acoustic music, quiz nights, seasonal events and partnerships with local producers. the pub could also benefit from Sunday lunch promotions, outdoor summer bbq's, dog‑friendly initiatives and collaborations with local walking groups or cycling clubs.

The Pub 

The white lion has a well‑established reputation as a warm, welcoming village pub, offering a balance of traditional character and modern comfort. Its intimate bar area makes it a natural gathering place for locals, while the 50‑cover restaurant provides a strong platform for a quality food offer. The pub’s layout allows operators to create distinct zones for dining, drinking and socialising, making it suitable for both casual visits and special occasions.
