Congratulations To Kate Staff

Ex-manager of the White Lion Community Pub Ltd., Kate Staff very recently collected the above award: West Dorset CAMRA Pub Of The Year 2023.

Judging had taken place during November and December 2022 when the pub was secretly visited by 9 individual judges on separate occasions.

As Kate, Chloe and Louise no longer work at the pub, the award is Kate‘s to keep and the White Lion‘s will have a copy to display display in the pub. Kate dedicated the award to the late David Leader. The Staff’s won’t be progressing to the next stage but the White Lion Community Pub Ltd. will and we hope Rick Dyke and the Management Committee succeed in employing a new manager of similar high standards 🙂

As the Management Committee and volunteers continue to keep the pub open whilst a new management team are appointed, we send our congratulations and best wishes to Kate, who soon begins her new employment in the kitchen at Broadwindsor House and to Chloe and Louise with their futures.
If you’d like to volunteer at The White Lion in any way, please get in touch with Andrew Hookings at: andrewhookings@yahoo.co.uk or Rick Dyke at: rickdyke59@gmail.com.
