White Lion Inn

The White Lion Inn, trading as The White Lion Soberton, is an independent traditional country pub located in the village of Soberton in the Meon Valley, Hampshire, England. It occupies a 17th-century building and sits within the South Downs National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The pub operates two bars, a dining room and a beer garden, and is known for locally sourced food and real ales, particularly from Bowman Brewery in nearby Wallops Wood. In addition to its food and drink trade, The White Lion offers bed-and-breakfast accommodation. The former coach house and stables, which are Grade II listed, have been renovated into guest rooms comprising two double rooms with king-size beds and one family suite. Each room is en-suite and equipped with modern amenities while retaining the ambience of the original architecture. The pub positions itself as a destination for walkers, cyclists and visitors exploring Hampshire, offering a quintessentially English village setting. It has received recognition from OpenTable as one of the best and most popular venues in the country. The White Lion is privately owned and operates as a single-site independent business.

The White Lion Inn is housed in a 17th-century building in the village of Soberton, in the Meon Valley area of Hampshire, England. The building retains many historic features, including open fires, wood-burning stoves and wooden floors, reflecting its long history as a traditional English pub. The pub is situated within the South Downs National Park and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In recent years, the pub's former coach house and stables, which are Grade II listed, were renovated and converted into bed-and-breakfast accommodation. This development added two double rooms with king-size beds and a family suite to the business, marketed as "luxury in the country." The renovation aimed to preserve the ambience of the original architecture while providing modern comforts such as en-suite bathrooms, heating, flat-screen televisions and refreshment trays. The White Lion has built a reputation for delicious locally sourced food and popular local real ales, notably from Bowman Brewery in Wallops Wood, located just up the road from the pub. It operates two bars, a dining room and a beer garden, and allows dogs in the bar area but not in the restaurant. In July 2020, the pub was recognized by OpenTable as one of the best and most popular venues in the country. The White Lion continues to operate as an independent, privately owned country pub and B&B.
