30/11/13 Appeared shut today further to visit a couple of weeks ago.

16/11/13 From my visit today it appears this pub may have just reopened, that's what it felt like. There was a for sale sign on the exterior with under offer attached but no licencee plate as you entered above the door.

Interior also seemed to confirm this as electric heaters providing heat with some ongoing botched DIY works being undertaken and areas that looked like they weren't in use until pub warranted sorting them out to be used.

Despite that it's a fairly large two roomed pub with small (unused looking) room to the left and the main bar area split with a front and back by a load bearing wall where the pool table and one dart board were. Adjacent to the bar is a small seating area and at the back what seemed to be an area solely for darts as two boards on the wall.

In all a pub that appears to need work to draw the local people back in but a pub that was probably as thriving as the rest in the town in better economic times.

The White Lion is a decent looking pub with hanging baskets and green things in pots outside.
The pub is fairly smart inside and there was three pumps on the bar i had Sharpes Doom Bar and this was probably the worst drink of this beer ive ever had the other beers were Wadworth 6X and Bombadier.
