The White Lion is a well-established, traditional community pub prominently positioned on Market Place in the heart of Ripley, Derbyshire. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, drinks offer and entertainment, it attracts loyal local regulars, after-work drinkers and friendship groups, alongside guests looking for a livelier weekend occasion.

The pub has a strong drinks-led proposition, including cask ales, alongside darts, a beer garden and late-night weekend trading. Its prominent town-centre location gives it the potential to cater for different occasions throughout the week, from relaxed community drinking and after-work visits through to entertainment-led evenings and busier weekends.

The White Lion has previously traded at higher levels, creating a strong growth opportunity for an operator who can bring fresh energy and personality to the business. Key priorities will be developing a consistent entertainment and events calendar, increasing local engagement and driving weekend and late-night trade, while retaining the friendly community atmosphere that sits at the heart of the pub.

The private accommodation consists of four double bedrooms, a lounge, an office, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

You will need a great track record of delivering strong events and entertainment whilst being able to adapt to the changing needs of the variety of guests the White Lion serves.
