The philosophy at The White Lion
is quite simple.
They offer good old fashioned hospitality with attentive service, good food, fine wines, quality beers, comfortable rooms, ambient surroundings and value for money.
With all this in mind, They aim to make your visit a memorable one, whether you are there on business, stopping off on a long journey or on a leisure break for a few days or more.
The White Lion is open to non-residents, so you are welcome to use the hotel as a base to meet business partners or just sit with friends and enjoy the atmosphere of this 16th Century coaching inn.
Their well stocked bar is the perfect place to taste one of their range of quality real ales from both local and national breweries. Enjoy a cup of coffee or afternoon tea; perhaps have something more substantial such as a light lunch, or sample the Á la Carte menu for a special occasion. We cook food only to order - nothing is prepared or ready frozen.
The bedrooms in the White Lion are all individually decorated and many retain the original timbers giving them a unique character. All have full facilities, television and direct dialling telephones.
With origins dating back to 1510 and the old timbers exposed in our Brasserie and rooms, a lovely ambience is created that allows you to relax and enjoy the same hospitality enjoyed many years ago by the likes of Prince Rupert and General Massey during the English Civil War.
It could be said that The White Lion was partially responsible for the end of the Civil War, when the Royalist troops under the command of Prince Rupert "partook in drinking strong waters at the Inn known as The Lion where upon heavy sleep came upon them and at day dawn a forlorn hope of Ironsides crossed the plank which connected the broken bridge with the town & took possession of the church (the 'Pepperpot') and held out until reinforced where upon the Royalists retreated to Worcester". A week later the King was defeated by Cromwell, effectively ending the Civil War. Other famous guests at The White Lion include Sir Alec Guiness, Brian Blessed, Max Beesley, Frances De la Tour, Kathy Burke, Sian Phillips, George Sewell, John Sessions & Samantha Morton.
