The White Lion is a profitable 'local' wet led business with great potential to develop the food trade. It is a large site, with a big garden, in an affluent rural area close to High Wycombe in 'commuter belt' and benefits from a main road location and is next to a school and shop. The pub boasts traditional beamed ceilings and carpeted floors provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere along with the two feature fireplaces. The second room is a public bar for approximately 10 covers which is ideal for pub games with its pool table, darts board and juke box. The Lion plays host to regular live music events on with birthday parties and functions also being catered for. The trade kitchen is currently divided into a preparation area and a cooking area, perfect for developing a food offering. The large garden houses a marquee with a permanent bar and a children’s play area, the perfect space for families during the warmer months. A heated wooden smoking shelter is located to the side of the building with lighting and TV point.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

The pub is popular with members of the local community and is home to pool and darts teams. Lunchtime food trade is especially busy, however there is great potential for the pub to extend the food offering, particularly in the evenings when parents may wish to come for a quick snack while the children are playing football in the adjacent field. The White Lion would suit a new starter with the ambition to expand the current proposition.
