The Perfect Space for Your Celebration
Planning a birthday, family get-together, work meal or special celebration? At The White Lion, we have a range of spaces to make your occasion feel just right.
From an intimate meal with close friends to a lively celebration with a larger group, our beautiful village pub offers flexible spaces, great food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere – all the ingredients for a memorable occasion.
A Little More Private
Our charming Snug is perfect for smaller celebrations and intimate gatherings. With space for up to 13 guests dining across three tables, it offers a cosy and more private setting away from the main pub. If you’re joining us for drinks, we can accommodate even more.
Beautifully decorated and featuring a large bay window overlooking the village High Street, it’s a lovely setting for birthday meals, family occasions, special get-togethers and group dining.
Food, Drinks & Good Times
If you’re looking for a livelier atmosphere, our bar area can accommodate up to 18 guests for food, with additional space available if you’re joining us for drinks.
Situated close to the bar, it’s a great choice for a relaxed night out with friends, good food and plenty of atmosphere.
Please note: On Fridays, this space can accommodate up to 14 guests due to our live music, making it a fantastic choice if you want to enjoy your meal alongside the sounds of the evening.
Celebrate in Style
For larger gatherings, our top room is the perfect choice, with space for 40+ guests.
Whether you’re planning a work celebration, family occasion, birthday, anniversary or large group meal, this versatile space can be arranged in a variety of ways to create the perfect layout for your party.
Our team will work with you to make sure everything is just right, from the seating arrangement through to the food and drinks.
