This is another place living on borrowed time far to big for todays drinkers,never any good as a food pub,and the last 5/6 landlords have not made a go of it.
Was one of a chain, Wooden Bridge & Green Man Burpham being the other 2 that coach`s stopped off for refreshments on the way to the coast.
It had a link to The Queen mum hence the spelling of Lyon (dont know what the link was tho.).
I think the same architect did here and The Bridge.

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.
