The White Lion is situated at the end of the bottom street, a 30
second walk
from the entrance to Tatton Park. Again, this is also a relatively
old
building and is Grade 2 (I think) listed. The reason, I'm told,
is partially
because of some fixed chairs which were used by the local farmers
for
meetings in years gone by. Rumour has it that the person whose posterior
was parked in the Farmer's Chair had to buy all the drinks! I cannot
verify
whether this is true or not, but I'd imagine that it only applied
to those
who were at the meeting. Rest assured that I have sat in that chair
on a few
occasions and never been asked to buy the drinks (which is quite
a thing in
itself)!!!
The pub was refurbished a couple of years ago, but you could be
forgiven for
thinking it was done last month! There is a very rustic feel to
the wooden
pillars and furnishings. Modern, but traditional, if that makes
any sense.
To the left of the bar a lounge can be found, this being the room
where the
Farmers held their meetings. To the right can be found a snug and
television. All major football matches are shown on the skysports
equiped
TV. On the rare occasion that the clouds clear in this country,
you might
like to step out into the large beer garden! Take a nice cool pint
with you
and it's the perfect way to round up the afternoon!
Food is served 11:30am - 2:30pm, 7 days a week - a very appetising
menu,
incidentally. There are lots of other things to take note of:-
Quiz Tuesdays - Drinks and Cash Prizes
Disco/Karaoke Sundays
Special offers ALWAYS! - There is always something going cheap
Live Music Monthly - All good musicians. Bands and Vocalists
Tetleys Cask Bitter is served, not forgetting the Guest Ale which
changes on
a regular basis. This should keep those of us who like REAL ALE
happy! Also
worth mentioning is a certain young lady who has worked behind the
bar in
this pub for 32 years! WOW!!!
To Conclude:
This is a happening pub. Plenty of entertainment, value for money,
good beer
and friendly atmosphere. This is a pub where everyone goes regardless
of
age - club 18 - 130!!! The building is of an "open plan"
nature. All the
rooms can be accessed by walking straight in as there are no doors
- very
handy if you happen to be the one who was sat in the farmers chair
and you
have a large tray of drinks to carry as a consequence!!!
