The White Lion

Nestled atop a hill, this charming pub is housed in a 15th-century building that originally functioned as a chandlery, crafting sails for ships docking at the nearby wharf. It obtained its license to vend alcohol in 1605, making it a historic establishment. This traditional village pub is renowned for its home-cooked meals and expansive beer garden, which also features a quaint bar. Notably, it is said to have been a favorite haunt of celebrated author Daniel Defoe and Jack Straw, the leader of the Peasants' Revolt. This pub, with its rich history and inviting ambiance, continues to be a beloved local spot.
