Ok pub.
Dirty tables, dirty floors, dirty bathrooms, dirty glasses, dirty beer.
good local for cheap beer. but you get what you pay for.

The Thursday jam which used to be held every week at the White Lyon in Worplesdon has now moved to the Cricketers in Westfield in Woking.
Last Thursday, the White Lyon's management gave Pete Doyle just one week's notice that the jam would finish - after 5 years! They want to fill the space with pool tables and fruit machines - doh!
We think they are mad as the jam was their busiest night with players and audience filling the room. Other pubs know that well organised jam nights together with band nights can be very good for business.
It's a sad end to live music at the White Lyon - Tim the previous landlord had helped build up the jam with bands also playing on Fridays and Saturdays. That had gradually died away through lack of support (and payment) from the White Lyon.
Anyway looking forward, the Cricketers management are keen to develop live music in a pub that has a history of live music going back at least to the early days of Paul Weller's band The Jam. Come along to the Cricketers, Westfield on Thursday instead and join in - tell all your friends who might want to come along too.
The Cricketers, Westfield Road, Westfield, Woking, Surrey, GU22 9NQ - the jam will start at 8.45pm; slightly earlier than usual and so will finish slightly earlier too, every Thursday.

The White Lyon is a great pub for live music. The regular Wednesday night JAM session has just changed to Thursdays, and is one of the best in the area. Great House Band and a great atmosphere. Not to be missed!
