Property details
Are you seeking a quintessentially British village pub in the heart of St Albans? If so, look no further than the White Lion.
The White Lion is a short walk from St Albans Abbey station and on a busy circuit comprising seven other pubs. Guests love it for the Sunday roasts and pub quizzes in the winter and the barbeques and craft beer in the summer.
The landlords have planned an investment to refresh and update an already beautiful interior, giving the pub a gastro feel, whilst serving quality food, beer, cocktails, and wine. So, now is the best possible time to take over this pub.
The bar comprises two areas: the dining area is plush with luxurious bench seating mixed with traditional pub furniture.
The garden is enormous, with a stretch tent and heating for winter events, taken down in the summer months, opening a space for festivals and sports events.
The private accommodation details are to be confirmed.
