Bored of the same pub menu? Same burger. Same fish and chips. Same "chef's special" that's been on since 2019 and swapped around every pub in the area? 😅

We were too. So we changed everything.

Fire & Smoke at The White Lion is something different. Low-and-slow cooking, South African braai flavours, dishes you genuinely haven't seen on a Cheshire pub menu before. Think 12-hour smoked brisket, Pulled Pork Bunny Chow, smoked Boerewors, fire-glazed ribs and wings.

Love pub food? Love smokehouse? Love a bit of fire and smoke on your plate? You're going to love what we're doing in Hankelow. Just 7 minutes from Nantwich

The same great pub. A completely different kitchen. 🔥

🍗 THREE WAYS TO CLUCK🍗
Our crispy smoked chicken come in three irresistible flavours:

🌶️ Peri Peri: a fiery kick with a zesty finish
🇰🇷 Korean Gochujang: sweet, spicy and seriously addictive

Have it as a starter, grab it as a snack, or share it with the table (if you can bear to 😉).

There’s something pretty special about having the whole pub to yourselves…
Fires lit, drinks poured, food coming out of the kitchen and nowhere else you need to be.
That’s Fire & Feast at Christmas — our take on the Christmas party, made for good food, good company and a really good night.
Curious? Come and see it for yourself this Thursday at our Weddings & Gatherings Open Day. We’ll show you around. 🤍

🎉ENJOY YOUR WEDDING YOUR WAY💕

One of the benefits of being an intimate, independent venue is that we can treat each couple as individuals - no conveyor belt weddings or set menus and dare I say 2 brides on the same day 🫢. But don't take our word for it...
