The White Lion, Solihull

A detached white rendered cottage style pub, that has a restaurant and does accommodation. It has a small patio at the front and a beer garden at the back. The interior has three rooms. The bar is small, with a Tv in the corner and is in cream and brick with a few bits of brass ephemera and beamed ceiling. The lounge is a long room to the side. Also in cream with beams; it has a mix of settles and comfy chairs, with a few prints of hunting scenes and maps on the walls. There is also the restaurant, which is light and airy and slightly more modern looking - i did not try the food. The service was very friendly, as were the good mix of locals, when i popped in to have a real ale and 5 mins to myself while being best man at a wedding at the church over the road! Beer; tap stuff, with Brew XI, Adnams Bitter and Black Sheep Bitter on handpull. All three were fine - only small gripe would be that i would want a little more variety. All in all, a lovely place and well worth a visit - it is in the GBG 2010
