formerly White Lion, Red Lion
December Update 23/12/20Following much soul searching, speaking to others, looking at latest figures for the region and judging the general mood, we have decided to close The Theberton Lion for eat in service from TOMORROW NIGHT at 10pm for the time being. We will still be offering takeaway beer daily, (including 12pm-1pm on Christmas Day!), and takeaway food will be available from Monday 28th - Thu 31 December. We want everyone to stay safe and look forward to welcoming you back in the pub as soon as we can. Have a lovely, if different, but most importantly safe Christmas.
Real Ale is sold here.
This large and lively village bar has various seating areas and a central fireplace. Many local pictures on walls and horse brasses adorn the beams. It also still retains outdoor toilets and has recently reinstated the patio seating areas to the front of the pub. Two log cabin letting rooms - both ensuite. Real cider (Giggler 6.3% plus others)
The Lion Beer Club convenes on the first Monday of every month at 2045: The Theberton Lion Beer Club is designed to celebrate all that is good about beer in all its incarnations. Each week those attending contribute £5 in order to sample five beers and have a say in shaping the Lion's future beer list…
