Welcome

The White Lion is a beautiful, award winning friendly and inviting country pub nestled in the picturesque Village of Ash, just outside of Whitchurch. The pub has been open since the 18th century, but took on a new lease of life in 2017 when it was saved from closure by the locals, and re-opened as a community pub.

We specialise in great homemade food, real ales, and a warm friendly welcome. Our bar is fully stocked with a range of beers, wines and gins, and we have a fantastic range of non alcoholic options alongside tea & coffee. Our bar is also dog friendly!

Fancy joining us for food? Our kitchen serves a range of pub classics, delicious homemade specials & on Sunday’s we serve hearty, homemade roast dinners with all the trimmings! Why not check out our menus, book online or call us on 01948 663153 to book your table today.

Our ‘Stables’ is a perfect venue for parties, meetings and groups. For more information and to book, click here.
