The White Lion is a small-but-perfectly-formed pub in the Hemel Hempstead village of Apsley. It’s a cosy, welcoming spot – luring locals through the door with the promise of great draught beers, home-cooked food, comfy sofas and roaring fires.

Among the best pubs in Hemel Hempstead for sports fanatics, The White Lion shows all the big sporting occasions on four TVs – including one with 3D capability. Watch Sky Sports, BT Sport or the racing channels, or make your own competition at the dart board.

The White Lion is a great spot to celebrate your special occasions. Whether it’s a drinks gathering with colleagues or a family meal to mark a big birthday, drop us a line and we’ll make the necessary arrangements.

With blooming hanging baskets and comfy garden furniture, there’s no better place to be in summer than the patio of The White Lion. Enjoy an alfresco ale or two while you top up your tan in our sun-trap garden.

We’ve received Fuller’s Master Cellarman award for the exceptional conditioning of our ales. Sample a wonderfully fresh pint of London Pride, Gales Seafarers or Fuller’s ESB.

Food at the White Lion is a local affair, with ingredients sourced from Hertfordshire suppliers where possible. It’s all cooked fresh to order, making this a great place to dine.

Every Wednesday from 8pm, we run a Red Tooth Poker League. Get your game face on and join the action – free pizza at halftime is the ace up our sleeve!
