Tenant Announcement

We are delighted to announce a major milestone in the journey to bring The Golden Lion back to life.

Following the successful purchase and refurbishment of the pub – made possible through your incredible support – we are pleased to announce that Mr Lance Warburton is to be appointed as tenant of The Golden Lion.

Many of you will know Lance as the well-respected publican of The Ship Inn in Handbridge and previously the Bird in Hand at Guilden Sutton where he has earned a strong reputation for delivering excellent food and drink, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and maintaining the character of a traditional pub. With over 20 years’ experience in the hospitality industry, Lance brings both professional expertise and a passion for community focussed pubs.

Lance was selected through a careful and thorough recruitment process, and we are confident he shares our vision for The Golden Lion as a place that serves the whole village and wider community providing a welcoming, lively, and inclusive pub and hub for all.

Lance, and his wife Leanne, along with AHCHL committee will now begin preparing for opening with details being shared in due course.

This is a proud moment for all of us who believed in the return of The Golden Lion. We thank you once again for your unwavering support.
