White Lion, Delph

You want to visit - You have this in

This attractive stone building at the end of the village street was originally three buildings which became one pub in 1790. Characterful and welcoming it was comprehensively renovated in Jan 2014 with new flooring, carpeting, dining area and a wood-burning stove when new licensees took over. There are plans to develop the food side of the business and they have installed a wood fired pizza oven outside the pub to complement traditional home-cooked pub dishes. Occasional events are held including ones for charity and Beers, Brass and BBQ concerts fortnightly on Sunday afternoon in summer.

Reopened after COVID in 2021

Historic Interest

Once run by cricket legend Sonny Ramadhin

Asset of Community Value

Occupies three houses built in the mid to late 18th century sold by Bass in 1994 and a free house until purchased by Thwaites in c.2000. It still retains three small rooms with a bit of opening-up (by Thwaites?). Has good coloured glass panels in the inner door. A doorway gap leads into the front left room which retains old fixed seating all around, an old stone fireplace and the 'White Lion' etched windows may be old. The front right room also has old fixed seating and an old stone fireplace and a wide gap leads to a pool room with modern dado panelling. The rear left room has more old fixed seating and another stone fireplace with old tiles. The counter was installed by Thwaites in c.2000 - the old counter used to run at an angle to give access to the rear door. Not enough for inclusion.
