The White Lion, Rempstone in Rushcliffe

Whilst towing our caravan, our car broke down with 2 children and a dog in the village of Rempstone. Whilst awaiting recovery I arrived at the pub on friday evening to get us into the warm and find safe haven. It turns out that I'd found Britian's friendliest pub!! The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and ensure we were set up on wifi, fed cobs and kept comfortable. Simone and her partner really went above and beyond to ensure we were looked after. The locals offered us a very warm welcome too and no-one minded 2 sleeping children taking up space on the benches. And, at pub closing time (when we still hadn't been rescued - 6 hours along), one local came to speak to me to ensure that we had a bed for the children for the night - this village really is full of the nicest people in the country! If our path ever takes us to Rempstone again, I will look forward to visiting. Can't thank the community of Rempstone village enough for your warm welcome and hospitality in our moment of need.

A very pleasant and welcoming local pub, mainly frequented by locals but there is reasonable on street parking if you're coming from further afield.

Lovely little country pub with great beers, very friendly service and atmosphere. They don't serve food but there's a very good fish and chips van calls round every Tuesday evening, and your welcome to eat them in the pub. P.s don't tell everyone as you get everyone in. Love the place

Haven't been in for a while, but i am so glad I did. Great little pub, so friendly (thanks for the cheese).

We forgot to pay 🤭! So sorry 😐 I'll ring you and do a credit transfer.

There is no food but everything else is good. Live music, excellent service and good beer.

A lot of character. Free house. Good ales.

At last we have found a pub around Loughborough thats worth a visit--a rare animal .

A brilliant village pub. Superb ales, roaring winter fires and great staff.

Spectacular village pub. Come and try it USE IT IR LOSE IT..

Stumbled across this little gem of a pub! Visiting the area whilst on a training course in Quorn, highly recommend a stop by this pub, great real ales, very friendly atmosphere and people. Thank you for making me feel so welcome 🤗 xx

Perfect Bass bitter! And a fair price!

Pleasant local pub, locals within the pub were ll friendly and made us feel welcome.

Called in for a pint on our way through and ended up staying. Very well run and friendly!

Nice cozy bar with a decent choice of drinks and ok prices

The perfect place to celebrate Leicester's win against Manchester United 😀👌

Warm inviting atmosphere kind employees and great customer definitely the place to go If you are in the area

Nice traditional pub, owned by the locals. What not to like.

Great pub atmosphere had really good evening well worth a visit if u like your country pubs ..

Lovely little village pub. Friendly and welcoming landlord, who keeps an excellent pint

Fantastic place for food and a pint, very well run and lovely warm open fires to sit by. Well worth a visit.

Great to see this pub thriving. Decent ale, welcoming staff.

Excellent little pub in the village of Rempstone with a good range of hand pulled beers - guest beers introduced regularly. They also have a great selection of wines and spirits. The pub itself is a lovely cosy building and has a function room and patio area. Always a warm and friendly welcome - ticks all the boxes if you’re looking for a typical village pub.

Small, cosy, friendly village pub. Good choice of draught beers and lager as well as excellent selection of wine and gin. Open fires in bar area and log burner in the side room, ideal for small gatherings. Pub quiz once a month and occasional events advertised on Facebook and Instagram. Would highly recommend.

What a fantastic find! - I meet at the White Lion once a month as part of a book club. We were looking for a pub that was midway point between us all (6 of us at present) and we stumbled across the White Lion, we love this pub, the owners treat us like family when we come in, we always let them know when our meeting is and they lay on snacks for us which we devourer promptly as it's always so nice (home made dips yum) , we love sampling the many different flavours of gin they stock, the inside is cosy and always welcoming , the toilets are one of the nicest you will find, everyone is always so friendly staff and customers alike, there is nothing negative I can say about the White Lion, I just wish I lived in the village of Rempstone because I'd be in there everyday if I did! Once the weather improves we plan on attending the monthly quiz they have.

A proper drinking mans pub. Great landlord, landlady and bar staff

Called in early afternoon on new year's eve, so it was quiet, but clearly had much going for it. Nice wood fire in the front room, comfortable and the ales well kept. I will definitely return. I would be interested to know what the side room is used for - it seemed out of keeping with the character of the rest of the pub. Easily accessed by public transport from Nottingham or Loughborough: the Kinch 9 stop is literally around the corner.

Brilliant good beer lovely place very friendly atmosphere very friendly staff.

Great pub, I sweep the chimneys every year. They take care of their customers.

The White Lion, Rempstone is one of those real English Gems a proper pub which offers excellent draft beers in a superb convivial atmosphere. My sort of pub.

Great friendly pub. All the real ales are always in excellent condition.

always good beer just as it should be

All ways a wonderful time in the Lion marvelous staff,and a great clientele base always plenty of laughs a fantastic happy atmosphere. X

A wonderful little pub, great service, excellent ales and it's so nice to draught Bass, which for me has got to be one of the best all time greats.

Friendly pub that makes everybody welcome.

Great ale, great staff. Well worth popping in to.

Unfortunately pubs like this are hard to find nowadays. Excellent beer matched by the atmosphere. Owned and run by the locals.

well run and a nice pint of Bass

Very good atmosphere and good beer very friendly people

Lovely local pub. Friendly, 2 fires, cracking beer and the bar staff are really helpfit. Especially Rose, made us 2 massive ham and salad baps when there was no food really being done. Wished I live closer.

Great friendly village pub serving great beer and other beverages wonderful to still be able to vist this pub its a delight !! Proper pub

Lovely atmosphere but no need for fire toooo hot or at least a window open or door open a lot of red faces and not the alcohol

The White Lion has helpful staff and a good selection of produce. Although we are not regulars at the pub (as we live a distance away), every time we have visited we have always had a warm welcome from the staff and regulars alike.

Gluten free option available. Food was lovely

This place is a gem, rescued from the clutches of one of the many greedy pub companies that make it impossible for a publican to make a living. The freehold was purchased and with the backing of the community the village now has a thriving pub once more. This is a delightful albeit tiny village pub and I would recommend it to anyone who loves traditional English pubs the way they used to be.

Great little pub, very friendly and polite staff/owners. Good variety of beer, especially Gins!

Very small traditional pub given a sympathetic makeover and deep clean when bought out by local residents. Free House with local ales in top condition.

excellent service brilliant staff friendly customers the in place to be

Saved saved saved. The pub was a flea pit and some amazing locals saved it. If you have visited this pub in the past and thought what a dump. Please try it again. It will blow you away :) I don't think it's scruffy or smelly

Not a particularly welcoming type of pub, very dated, sat in courtyard at rear which was dirty and smelly. Will not be visiting again.

Lovely pub with a great relaxed atmosphere. Some fantastic drinks, in particular a wonderful selection of Gins along with friendly staff who are more than happy to help you out with some delicious recommendations!

Rempstone “Community Owned” Hotel. Great drinks, lovely atmosphere & awesome staff. Good to visit fr Aust!

Really nice village pub tucked away in the lovely village of Rempstone -nice ales and food

Great place for a quick or long drink. Great selection of beers. Food very good value. TVs show sport but on quiet so watch main sports without interrupting chat!

A beautiful pub some great beers amazing atmosphere and lovely open 🔥

Awesome pub , great bar staff ....

Popped in on our way back from a walk. We'd been before it was taken over and what a noticeable difference..wow! Lovely landlady seems to be putting in a huge effort to make you feel welcome but also to organise events. Popped in when the magician was on and it was packed.Its a small quintessential village pub thats well worth a visit. Well done :)

Very friendly and cozy atmosphere.

My new local. Good beer. Good company. Lovely pub and good prices. No food just a good honest pub. 10/10.

Fantastic pub, friendly well maintained and reasonably priced. Quintessential village local.

Great pub, lovely atmosphere! Definitely recommend it!

Work in progress, coming along fine. Great pub!

Good pub which is now a community run business. Good beers and service but crowded around the bar making it a bit awkward to be served.

It is your quintessential village pub .
