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. Opens until midnight during the week if enoiugh custom.
