Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The White Lion
Upmarket village pub and restaurant in three parts: a cosy traditional bar directly ahead of the front door, a separate lounge area to the left with its own door off the entrance lobby and the main dining rooms in a rear extension. Landlord, Proper Job, Wye Valley HPA (£4.90) and Otter Bitter from four of the six handpumps.

Nice 17th-century village pub as described by Soup below. The public bar at the front is the best bit, pity the fireplace was used to store logs (and I mean store, not laid ready for lighting) rather than act as a fire. If it did it might remove the lingering odour of chips. Things go upmarket as you proceed clockwise through the building with a comfy enough lounge, then a fancier dining room at the back.
Beers as at RAR's visit, the Hobson's, though pleasantly served, was not at its best.
As a pub it's typical of the genre and stands out from the many corporate abominations in the area. Certainly worth a look if you are visiting the nearby NEC.

We called in here for Sunday Lunch, which was very good and the staff were very friendly and chatty. We had a beer in the front bar beforehand and the handpulled beer choice was Proper Job, Bank's Mild, Bath Gem, Wye Valley HPA and Hobsons Bitter. We went for the Proper Job, which was in great condition. From this small bar, area you take a left into the lounge area, which was long and narrow and this room led you into the rear dining area. The pub became increasingly busy around 12.30, as a wedding party arrived in from the church across the road, which was nice to see everyone dressed in their finery.
