During their stewardship the business has built up an excellent reputation for its welcoming atmosphere and excellent food.
Operating from substantial detached landmark premises of real charm and character, the business is predominantly food led offering a diverse range of traditional home cooked food using local produce form local suppliers wherever possible.
This thriving traditional English Inn has an extremely good regular trade as it is the focal point of the local community with open fires in the winter months and a lovely sun trap garden for those long summer days. The ever changing Specials Board and French Bistro style food are particularly popular.
The White Lion Inn is run by our clients with help from a dedicated team of staff. The business generates an excellent turnover in the region of £650,000 per year and enjoys consistently high gross profit margins.
