About White Lion
Attractive hilltop pub in a 14th century building that was originally used as a chandlery, making sails for ships that used the nearby wharf. It was licensed to sell alcohol in 1605. This traditional village local has home-cooked food and a large beer garden which includes a small bar. The famous author Daniel Defoe and the Peasants' Revolt leader Jack Straw reputedly frequented the pub.

The friendliness and hospitality of this pub will take you back to when pubs were the focal point of villages and somewhere you would want to frequent often. The food is on point and the landlord takes pride in his ales and choices of beers. A great local pub you will return to time and time again.

Charming pub with a good range of ales and friendly staff. Book early for Sunday lunch, which has 2 lunchtime sittings. Great food and a nice atmosphere and large garden area too.
