The White Bear is definitely the best pub food in the area. Always had a decent meal served by friendly staff. My girlfriend and I go regularly - but I felt the need to add a review after reading so many nitpickers in these comments whinging about such minor grievances. The food is a few quid more than most surrounding pubs, but definitely of a better quality than any pub for miles. There was a little bit of lipstick on my glass last time I went - but who honestly cares? I asked them to change it and they apologised and swapped it immediately. Bravo!

A quintessential British pub, in my opinion. It's very family-friendly and has a friendly atmosphere. The food was good, and the ambiance was made it a lovely place to catch-up with old friends. I had a fish and chips and it was really well done. My friend had a duck and that was well done too. The place has a good outdoor setting but could not make use of it as it was still cold in late April.

We chose to eat at the White Bear on a whim simply because we were visiting the area & it served food later than some other establishments. However, we will definitely go out of our way to eat there again. Our meals included a starter, 3 adult meals, 2 children's meals & 3 deserts, all of which were of outstanding quality. It is difficult to appeal to all tastes & to consistently produce high quality food, yet all of us expressed that our meals were amongst the best we had ever had. The chef(s) certainly knows their trade & how to create dishes that are full of flavour. Additionally, it was greatly appreciated that there were varied vegan options that were the unique to the White Bear. The service was also excellent, attentive, friendly & faultless. We left feeling sublimely happy & we are looking forward to our next visit. As an aside, on our way in we had walked from the car park through the outside seating area. It looked beautiful in the dark with the way the string lights & plants had been arranged to create a peaceful space. It looked like it would be a wonderful place to sit & relax on a warm evening

Fresh food and full of flavour, I don’t remember beef rump that tasty with the dairy free sauce and beetroot on site- delicious combo. My partner had fish sea bream, a very big and very fresh. Place is very inviting with the garden.

The white bear is our most frequented local watering hole. Great range of seasonal dishes, fantastic Sunday lunches (with extra sides if needed!), great range of drinks. Service has always been outstanding. Warm atmosphere. Suitable for all.
