The White Lion

About

The White Lion Soberton is a 17th‑century country pub situated in the heart of the Meon Valley, within the South Downs National Park. The historic building, a Grade II‑listed pub beside a former coach house and stables, has been lovingly restored and offers a warm, traditional dining experience complete with real ales from the nearby Bowman Brewery. Guests are treated to locally sourced food that changes daily, with a specials menu in both the bar and the restaurant. The bar boasts a relaxed, dog‑friendly atmosphere, while the dining area features an open fire and wooden floors that give the pub its old‑world charm. In addition to its acclaimed food and drink, The White Lion now provides comfortable accommodation. Three converted stables and a family‑suite offer ‘luxury in the country’ with Hypnos beds, en‑suite bathrooms, flat‑screen TVs, free Wi‑Fi and a locally sourced breakfast that starts the day off right. The pub is a perfect base for exploring the South Downs, cycling, walking or visiting nearby Portsmouth and Southampton. With its friendly service, rustic elegance and beautiful location, The White Lion Soberton is a must‑visit for anyone seeking an authentic English country experience.
