White Lion Hankelow

Country Pub, events and wedding venue. Perfectly situated in the picturesque Cheshire village of Hankelow.
(1)

The pub has stood in the village for over 200 years and now known for special gatherings, sharing Sunday lunches and a stay over.

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...
Thanks Emma & Joe for the recommendation and what a great day we had. awesome pic from

Fancy a close up of our venue? Join us for our OPEN DAY this THURSDAY 17TH 1pm - 8pm. Simply come along or book a 30min appointment to talk all things weddings and celebrations.

Just your daily reminder: Fire & Smoke is here, and here to stay.

And when the beer can chicken looks (and tastes) this good, you can’t say no… 🤤

🎉NOT YOUR USUAL CHRISTMAS DO🎄

This Christmas, we're offering something we think is genuinely different; EXCLUSIVE USE OF OUR ENTIRE PUB, just you and your team, for the night. Fire pits burning, Gui's Fire & Smoke kitchen at full stretch, cocktail station, guest beers and a choice of feast! (50 - 220 guests)

Your people, your pub, your evening. No round banqueting tables seating 12, no sitting though three courses of dry turkey and cheesy entertainment! Our xmas do is about a relaxed pub, a unique flame inspired feast washed down with draft beers or a chrimbo cocktails🥂

NEVER FEAR - if you are spending your evening with a few choice colleagues or friends we also have a shared joiner party option where you can book as a group alongside other guests. A great way to enjoy the full Fire & Feast experience without needing the whole venue.

For more info email [email protected] or join us on our Weddings and Occasions open Day on the 17th Sept from 1pm - 01270 432606 to book your slot!
