Pretty good friendly pub in centre of town. Fairly basic but so what.
About four or five real ales (mainly local). Cheap too (£2.00 and £2.50 on our visit).
Well worth a visit.

The White Lion is reopening on Monday 5th Dec 2011 after a refurbishment by Darwin's Inns (who have taken it over) and it will be selling 5 Salopian real ales. Hopefully it will be a much better pub!

OK pub with 3 real ales usually - Could be a lot better. The building is historic and probably the oldest pub in Wellington.

Superb traditional pub in the town centre. A genuine welcome, interesting and friendly conversation with locals and bar staff, a decent enough pint (Titanic Iceberg - went down well), though with only 2 choices on (teh other was Landlord) I tend to agree it won't make GBG.
Remains my prefered pub in this part of town.

Black and white timbered building in the pedestrianised area. Called in on Thursday as part of a mini crawl of Wellington pubs. Only real ale on the bar was Wye Valley Butty Bach. I had a pint which was OK. Only 4 people in the pub including me at 8 p.m. and yet the barmaid still had to be told by the other customers that I was waiting to be served. Not a patch on The Cock no matter what the earlier reviews say. No chance of ever getting in the GBG on this performance.

Excellent, friendly, non pretentious pub in the heart of Wellington. A small but excellent selection of real ales, well kept keg beer etc.
Some sport on at request but never too much to doninate. very friendly staff.

The trouble is that The Cock USED to be the best real ale pub in Wellington. Started to rest on its laurels a bit too much in my opinion and in the opinion of several other people.
Served me two truly awful pints from two different breweries, one after the other. Will NOT get that chance again!
Some members of staff are irritating know-it-alls.
Decline to serve Guinness as it is not a real ale, serving Murphys, instead.

sorry, i disagree. the best real ale pub in wellington has got to be the cock hotel.the white lion has yet to appear in the good beer guide.
|
Cracking food at from 11-3 weekdays, usually 4 real ales about the place, with Titanic being popular. I work there!
|
Usually has 4 good real ales on. These vary from week to week, ranging from weaker session beers through to the stronger beers such as Hobgoblin. Tis a small pub, but lively. Close to the rail and bus station and surrounded by other pubs! I currently work there!

Fantastic fresh cooked food at lunch time.
There's also a choice of four real hand-pulled ales, which are VERY well kept. The best real ale pub in Wellington, since The Falcon closed.
Only problem? There's not a no-smoking area.
