The White Lion, Nottingham

Community pub with dog friendly facilities. Large beer garden and car park which has the Old Sawley Brewing Company at the back. Range of Old Sawley beers on the bar, along with two guests and a selection of ciders, as well as larger commercial lagers etc. Large bar with plenty of seating, woodfired pizza made outside on weekends, pool table, darts, bar billiards available. Large function room available for hire.

Traditional alehouse, retaining two separate bars. Refurbished with attractive light decor. Bar billiards. Warm fires on a winter's day. Home of the Old Sawley brewery, currently brewing upstairs (but with a new micro-brewery building under construction at the rear). Eight handpumps, offering seven interesting real ales - including their excellent Toll Bridge Porter (£2.85) - and a cider. Well worth seeking out.
