What’s your earliest memory of The White Lion?

Maybe it was your first drink at the bar, a family celebration, a night out with friends, or simply popping in and seeing familiar faces.

For generations, The White Lion has been part of everyday life in Pailton – and we know there must be hundreds of stories and memories out there.

Have you seen the plans for The White Lion?

There’s a lot more to the project than bringing the pub back to life.

The proposals will transform The White Lion into a wider community hub, with hospitality and community spaces, accommodation, enterprise units for local businesses and outdoor areas all forming part of the plans.

We’ve published the proposed floor plans and designs on our website, where you can take a closer look at what’s planned for each part of the building.

Did you know The White Lion has stood in Pailton for over 300 years?

Originally a coaching inn, The White Lion has welcomed generations of travellers, villagers and visitors through its doors – offering a place to eat, drink, meet and gather.

This wonderful old photograph gives us a glimpse of the pub in years gone by. A lot has changed over the centuries, but The White Lion has remained an important part of Pailton's story.

Now, we're working to secure its future so it can continue to be part of village life for generations to come.
