Such a big secret as no names are being mentioned, but you can plough through the dreaded Facebook if you are nosey enough.

It would be good to see the White Horse up and running again, a great inn with an interesting history. The last time I had a meal there was when Jack came over from the 'Antipodes' and very nice it was too, Beef or Kangaroo Wellington if I remember rightly

I think Jim G is too canny to buy the Golden Lion. Or the White Horse.

He has made it clear he is not interested whilst it is owned by Enterprise Inns, there are 3 other interested parties I am aware of, who like Mr G are only interested if it is freehold.

Likewise this Mr G. But hey-ho, Shepherd Neame are paying me a salary to look after an excellent little pub of theirs in Surrey.

Just got back after a week away to see they've painted the Golden Lion bright orange! Dear lord, I hope it's just an undercoat! I also heard it's going to be a wine bar. That should be interesting!
I think we are all guinea pigs in the middle of an experiment for which they have forgotten to set up a control group!

Well it certainly shows up which is the idea I suppose but I think it looks down market and tacky and would not encourage me to cross the threshold. Sorry to those involved if they read this.

I thought it was the Golden Lion, not the Orange one; maybe it's been tangoed.
