The White Lion has re-opened its doors having been completely transformed

The White Lion at Radford Semele has re-opened its doors having been completely transformed inside and out by the new owners. Every inch of the old building has been carefully restored, creating cosy nooks and crannies that are perfect for drinking and dining. There's a new bar with plenty of spots to linger, lots of original exposed brickwork and dark wooden beams, a light and modern garden room with new bi-fold doors opening onto the terrace and a secluded garden that's been beautifully landscaped and furnished with lounging sofas and tables for delightful al fresco lunches and suppers.

The new general manager, Lianne Sargent, tells us: "We've brought the pub back to life, inside and out and can't wait to welcome everyone back.The new look is fresh and modern but perfectly in keeping with the building's history, and we're looking forward to opening with a menu full of the good stuff. We firmly believe that every great village deserves a great pub, serving seasonal dishes with genuine hospitality, and that's just what we hope to bring to Radford Semele. I'll be working with my fantastic team to make sure everyone feels at home, whether you pop in for a glass of wine in the sunshine, spend a couple of hours over a leisurely lunch or come for a celebration dinner with family and friends."
