Originally a family home and then a shop, The White Lion was a fully licensed pub restaurant by 1835. Before this the village shop sold local beer, but it was forbidden to drink on the premises, so the farmers drank their beer in a hedge down the lane. The White Lion now welcomes guests to join us in comfortable surroundings to relax and unwind.

Our menus are full of hearty favourites and country pub classics, as well as our seasonal dishes, and we’ll be ready with a well-stocked bar, including cask ales, fine wines and British gin to suit very taste - which will taste all the better when enjoyed either in our beautiful gardens or by our crackling log fires.

The exposed beams of The White Lion testify to its long history and provide a distinctive backdrop. The old centre of Allesley is a conservation area and there is a network of rural footpaths to enjoy. Or if you are looking for local attractions, head to Allesley Park or drive down to olde worlde Coventry, where you will find cobbled streets and a modern shopping precinct. Experience Coventry's history and visit the cathedral where you will see the old and new Cathedral side-by-side. Or why not visit the Transport Museum or visit the delightful gardens of the late Lady Herbert: a ‘flowery oasis in central Coventry'!
