Real Ale Ray left this review about The Old White Lion

I bet the landlord gets fed up of people walking in here and asking for cask ale, as we did. As expected there was none to be found. Still am glad we popped in for a nose as the pub has a listed Historical Interior. The main features was the revolving door entrance, the spectacular textured patterned ceiling, along with the fireplace in the side lounge and the lead light windows. My rating here at seven is for the interior alone.

Unusually the main entrance to this pub has a revolving door. Inside it's a roughly square room with a high ceiling and the bar on the left. The room is mostly carpeted and there is a jukebox. I didn't notice any other rooms.
The two hand pumps were both blank on my Friday afternoon visit so I ended up with a keg pint of "Flowers" (£2.20) which was cold insipid rubbish.
Given the lack of real ale this one gets a low score.

A really nice traditional pub. A large spacious main lounge as you enter. Two separate rooms at the rear one a pool room and the the other the'Oak Room' which sadly was closed this afternoon. One real ale available. I really liked this pub.
