| As I was working at the corporate prison down the road I came here as often as I could. It was a complete refreshing alternative to a week of intense training delivery. Everything was as it should be for a 17th C pub including the rat. Even the regulars were just right from the legal to the tattooed bikers. Any criticsm has to be that it was very warm inside-due to the excellent fires. Cotnap - 10 Oct 2010 11:58 |
| Just as the others have said. Lovely little village pub with good beer. I went for the Mansfield and very plaesant it was too. Santa - 10 Aug 2009 14:35 |

| Fine, traditional thatched, low-beamed pub in a quiet hamlet just into Cheshire, little more than a mile from Junction 16 of the M6. The building is Grade 2 listed and the pubs unspoilt interior merits it a listing in CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. The building dates back to 1614 - look carefully and you can see the date carved in a wooden beam over one of the 2 entrances ( the one that says "use the other door "). The White Lion is a Marstons ( formerly Wolves and Dudley ) pub and, on my visit last Tuesday was serving Pedigree, Burton Bitter, Mannsfield Cask Bitter and, perhaps surprisingly, Cocker Hoop and Sneck Lifter from Jennings. ( I know that, technically speaking, Jennings can't be described as a guest beer in Marstons pubs, but it does seem worthy of note to comment that there were 2 Jennings and no Banks beers on, given the location. Having the car, I went for the Burton Bitter, a pleasant, but unremarkable pint. The pub does a good range of lunchtime food and is evidently popular locally due to this. Surprisingly not closing for the afternoon, the pub is well worth seeking out - particularly if you're not a big fan of motorway service station food. If do you visit, try to make time to visit the splendid 13th century village church opposite as well. JohnBonser - 28 Jul 2008 17:31 |
| Thatched, black and white timbered pub dating from 1614 and thankfully feels like it hasn't changed much. Food is available and the menu looked fair but at the end of the day this is still well and truly an old fashioned tavern. 2 rooms with the bar in one and inglenook in the other and picnic tables on the cobbled area at the front. Pews around the walls, pub tables and chairs on traditional old red tiled floors, open coal fire (on July 19th), sturdy beamed ceilings all give this pub so much lovely character. More than that Jenning's "Cocker Hoop" and Marston's "Pedigree" and another on hand pump completes the dream. Wirral_RealAlians - 21 Jul 2008 22:21 |
