There are two handpumps which greet you on entering but in Feb 2023 only the one in use and when that beer ran out it did not look as if it would be changed immediately that evening. A large and impressive pub with a semi-circular bar and piano and a separate area to the rear which hosts the pub quiz evenings. Also lots of outside seating on the front patio.

Sold by Wetherspoon to Urban Pubs and Bars and re-opened after a refurbishment. Previously one of the oldest Wetherspoon's pubs, established in 1986, converted from a car showroom. The White Lion originally featured in the coat of arms of the Mortimer family, and was later incorporated into the coat of arms of King Edward VI.
