With its imposing Lion stood atop the porch entrance, the White Lion has long been a highly visible landmark in the High Street, and both the pub and the lion (or one very like it) have been welcoming and/or intimidating visitors since the early 19th Century. The pub spent a while closed before reopening late in 2018. With its L-shaped bar, this is very much a place where locals gather and chat. There is a pool table on the left, and through to the rear is a lovely secret garden, which is perfect for alfresco drinking when the weather permits.
