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. 3 of the areas have large TVs so it is proving popular on major sporting occasions. Closes at midnight during the week, but may stay open later at weekends. 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, the opposite side is the road to the town centre car park, charges apply.
