White Lion, Ash Magna (Ash Pub)

Improve This Listing

Purchased by the local community, and re-opened after a period of closure and renovation in May 2018. There are now 250+ local shareholders of this 17th century pub in a quiet village must be pleased with the transformation that has taken place, and it is now the real hub of this local community with a monthly book club and a fortnightly quiz.

The lounge is laid out for food, though you can eat anywhere in the pub and there is a separate restaurant / function room in the Stables at the rear. We have 3 real ales on offer, Station Bitter and Shropshire Gold are our permanent ales plus we have a rotating guest ale, we have extensive Gin Shelf that has now been added, with a 'gin of the month' offering.

The Beer Garden has also received some attention, There are now ducks and rare breed Hens and Quails and the beer garden has been updated with a superb display of wild flowers. There are also tables outside at the front.

Voted best pub of 2023 by the Countryside Alliance / Daily Telegraph

Asset of Community Value

Village pub with a two rooms and off-sales layout that is little changed in the last 50 years. The inner lobby retains a two-part off-sales window with a lower panel that can rise. The public bar on the left has a parquet floor and long bar counter with panels that look to have been added in around 1960 between older pilasters that are painted black but the bar top only dates from the 1980/90s. The bar back looks to have seen changes in the 1960s with some copper panels, there is a c.1960 brick fireplace, some old bench seating in the rear narrow part of the room and old beamed ceiling. The lounge bar on the right looks to have been last altered in inter-war times with its unusual bar counter of rustic vertical panels, a tiled and Art Deco wood-surround fireplace, a bar back fitting with curved Art Deco-style top but later changes have seen some of it removed so staff can both walk between the two serveries as well as viewing more of each room. There are even the odd table and bench that look to be of a 'publican rustic' style from the 1930s.
