The White Lion

The White Lion is a village pub on Niton High Street, offering food, drinks and accommodation alongside a programme of seasonal local celebrations.

The White Lion is the village pub on Niton High Street, offering a place for a meal, a drink or a stay in the south of the Isle of Wight. It is the Niton White Lion, separate from the pub of the same name in Arreton. Share the village and High Street address when arranging to meet friends so everyone heads to the right place.

The pub advertises dining, accommodation and seasonal events, including village Christmas celebrations. Its food service has its own hours within the wider pub opening times. That means it is worth checking the kitchen before making a plan around lunch or dinner, especially for a group or a special occasion. The White Lion describes its cooking as centred on local produce, and its published programme also includes dates when the village gathers for an event rather than an ordinary meal.

Use PO38 2AT for the High Street address and contact the pub for restaurant reservations or accommodation. Special events can have a different schedule from routine service, so check the date you intend to visit. Ask about dietary needs, access or dog arrangements rather than assuming they follow the same rules for every part of the building. Niton can be one stop in a wider south Wight outing, with Ventnor offering another town to explore when you have more of the day free. Plan the meal or event first, then leave room for whatever suits the weather.
