The Old White Beare in Calderdale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The pub interior still has its historic features and charm. The lunch menu was traditional pub food. I had the fish and chips which weren’t great but friends had the burger which they said was good. Chips for the pie and fish were a bit under cooked. Bar staff / waitress not very friendly and one was wearing leather hot pants which seemed not quite the appropriate choice for serving food at lunch! It was okay but could be so much better!

Gorgeous pub in a lovely village. On thos occasion we were there as a family group of 10, the weather was lovely so we sat on the deck overlooking fields. The food was freshly made and was delicious as always (compliments to the chef) we were served by Nat and Tash who were fun, friendly and very efficient. We've been before and always been thoroughly happy whether just for drinks or for Sunday lunch which I'd also highly recommend.

Fantastic pub . Friendly staff, good prices and a great selection of food.

Really helpful, friendly staff and the food was delicious.

We arrived on a warm sunny day and this pub has a really lovely outdoor patio area which is great for eating Al Fresco- What a lovely view you have from sitting in this garden it really is delightful We had travelled 50 miles to meet up with a group of old friends from Low Moor and everyone thoroughly enjoyed a very good lunch Our .thanks also to the staff and Natalie for making us all feel at home -what a great location-we will definitely be back

Went Saturday with family Pre ordered beer buttered fish and chips and mushy peas Served what looked like an Anemic looking fish with some chips and garden peas the batter on the fish was atrocious waitress said they had no mushy peas..I sent it back then after 25 minutes 2 young girls asked me what was wrong with it I explained and 10 minutes Later appeared with 2 small pieces of fish chips and some. Mushy peas which were dreadful. Why didn't the chef appear. (Never again)

Whitebait (we shared one starter) - they forgot the bread Pork - they forgot the cracking and apple sauce. Only two thin slices Beef- they forgot the horseradish and gave me well done when menu said pink and I asked for as rare as they've got. Only two slices of thin beef. £65 was a lot for 1 starter, two roast and two glasses of wine. Won't be eating here again. Told staff and they didn't seem interested.

Called in with my wife on friends recommendationto get a steak sandwich , very very dissatisfied and disappointed asked for medium cooked steak it was served undercooked and bleeding sent it back just the same , unchanged still bleeding, paid an extra £5 for 8 chips,definitely won't recommend or go again

Under the heading of Elaine my wife Upon waiting for my meal order we had to experience a complaint from another dissatisfied customer. I can honestly say when previously ordering a steak at your premises it's never been bleeding onto my plate that's why I returned it to be cooked correctly , when it was returned to me it exactly the same untouched with the same sauce unmoved,. I feel I gave you chance to rectify the fault to which you failed and as witnessed by your waitress had to swap meal with my son who was having a burger who doesn't mind eating bloody steak which explains why all the plates were empty upon your collection. Maybe you need to communicate a bit more with your staff and reassess your customer service skills

Whilst the food was decent enough the actual portions for both starters and main meals were small. So much so that we were still hungry after the meal. The pate starter was unbelievable small !! One piece of brioche style bread to go with the pate!! But the biggest gripe was the cost. The food is ridiculously overpriced. There are much better places elsewhere. Avoid this place for food.

The most limited gluten free menu I have ever been welcomed to, avoid if you are gluten free. The food is also very expensive, a burger is £15! Wouldn't recommend.

I'm a chef......to a good pub standard. I Was warned not to go for food here by a local but thought give it a chance as I've enjoyed a drink in the garden chatting to friendly locals. Fish and Chips £18 Burnt but under cooked chips. Muchy peas watery, tarter source tasteless. Fish very small, batter soggy and greasy, it resembled a trainer insole for size and thinness, size 5. My girlfriend said it was motorway service station standard at best. It's just not far on people who might not go out much and look forward to a treat eating out.... please just go to gee gees and eat your fish and chips in the car.

Arrived on time and stood around for a few minutes waiting to be acknowledged. After two different members of staff told us someone would be with us, we were shown to our table. It took 30 minutes for our starter to arrive (after chasing for it). We spoke to a staff member pointing out that if there were delays then it's courtesy to let us know. The food arrived and was "ok". We were also aware of another couple who had to wait for their food. After we had mentioned that they should have told us of the delay, we heard them tell other customers that there is a delay in the kitchen. I could understand if the place was heaving with customers, but it wasn't. Unlikely to be returning.

We enjoyed this place as it was very old with a lot of history, very clean with large area outside and a large car park.

Ordered a double Malibu and coke. Given a double spirits measure in a spirits glass. Can appreciate staff are not necessarily drinkers but any employee should know their companies product's

Had bad experience recently , 1hr wait for drinks and starters - another 1 hrs wait for main courses - food and cooking was poor quality and main courses did not include items on the menu . Won't be going back there .

We arrived here on a very busy Sunday at around 4.30 pm and managed to get a parking space in the car park with a few spaces left. On entering the pub we only just got through the door to be met by a fair size queue of people either waiting for drinks or to be told which table they were to be sat at. As it was a very sunny day and the place has quite a large and very pleasant outside space for customers, we didn't mind too much about queuing to get a table as the warm sunny Sunday made it very busy. We got our table number and ordered our food and sat down enjoying a drink and waited for our meals and sadly it was a table booked for 4.30 and our meal came at 6.15 which was quite a wait. Our meals were good to some extent but the roast potatoes were hard and not warm enough, however the meat, veg and Yorkshire puddings were excellent. The star ratings would have been higher if the roast potatoes had been softer and warmer. Overhaul this place is well worth a visit but a few things as mentioned need improving, the staff worked hard and our waitress was very pleasant and polite.

Had the pie, meat was lovely and tender. Mrs had fish and chips and really enjoyed them too.

We were very disappointed with food. It was not fit to eat and returned Cold starters were okay. Mains Steak pie served in oval dish crust Too hard to cut into meat inside was inedible burnt to side of dish veg was cold limp broccoli cold chips my partners Food was fish and chips very pale batter Cold chips slime fish

Pretty good food. Been twice now. First time the owner served me. Food was quality. Second time, a very tan blonde girl took my order. Brought me the completely wrong food. Not somebody else's order. She just thought for some reason I ordered something completely different to what I said I wanted. I suggest going to the Shibden Mill Inn instead. Foods about the same price, but service and quality are substantially better.

Large outside beer garden in the sun

Super cozy, good food and friendly staff!

Amazing food, quick service, all-round great experience.

Had a mint time! Food was great and had a nice few drinks afterwards

The food was tasty and served within a reasonable time frame. Nice big portions. A good selection of beers.

Fab pub, fantastic service and very welcoming. Great selection of beers and wines. Lots of places to sit and have a quiet drink or stop off for food. The pie was scrumptious and my partner had steak. All cooked and presented lovely. Can’t wait to return

Lunch time visit, the lasagne was great. Plenty to eat and delicious. Very hospitable and welcoming venue.

Food great, Rhubarb and Custard Sundae was delicious. Very friendly bar staff. All in all a successful birthday meal.

We went as a family seven of us the food was excellent but unfortunately the service was not very good having to wait nearly an hour between starters and main course, if one of the staff had came and told us about the delay and perhaps offered another drink or something the stars might have been higher. Then, one of the dishes we ordered should have roasted veggies with it and three pieces of veg is not a portion, considering I saw someone else get a sizeable dish of the same veggies with the same main course. Sorry we visited because of a birthday treat, and I was upset about it

Go there every week lovely helpfull staff very thoughtful about your preferences.

The worst meal we’ve probably ever had as a family. Shame for a superb village that deserves a great dining pub.

Read the reviews before booking. A lesson learnt not believing them. Booked a table for Easter Sunday, needed to change the time, noticed lots of times still available, worrying. Oh well, give it a go. Lovely pub,no denying in a quaint little village. Staff on arrival friendly. The restaurant part was not full. Waited 15 minutes after being seated to have our order taken. Me and my Husband both ordered the Sunday Roast, beef for me, pork for my husband....Food was out within a couple of minutes...Parsnips were hard and the food was edible. Now I'm sure that was all prepped out like a carvery is, as there is no way, you can be served a meal that quick. Not even the Fast Food Chains can give an order that quick. The sticky toffee pudding was nice. Staff looked fed up. Overall, very disappointed. Won't return.

Dog friendly,amazing food and great servers. Would come back

Fantastic food on Easter Sunday really accommodating and welcoming included our puppy too! Liv and Natalie were great servers. Thanks guys 😊

Lovely pub in a lovely village. Still going strong. The beer garden looks lovely and the pub is also dog-friendly. Will definitely be popping in after our next walk around the woods.

Although we live local, it’s been at least ten years since our last visit. Although the pub has had a much needed refurb, the old charm is still there. Nothing was too much trouble for Natalie and her team to meet my partners onion allergy issue and the service was great. Unfortunately we remember an independent pub serving freshly cooked meals however this pub is now part of the Stonegate empire a fact I missed whilst looking at the website and it’s quite obvious from the meals turned out that this is a chain pub serving poor quality factory produced meals. For £15.50 the trio roast consisted of poor quality meat served with under done roast potatoes almost raw veg a teaspoon full of mash and a frozen Yorkshire pudding. The menu states unlimited roasties Yorkshire Puds and gravy but this wasn’t offered. It was a last minute decision to go out, and with our usual restaurants being full, we decided on a change, but from the meals served it’s easy to see why we secured a table. The starter was reasonable but the pudding of rhubarb and custard sundae was delicious. Unfortunately it will be a long time before we go again and feel we would have had a better lunch at a better price taking pot luck and waiting for a table at Toby.

Can’t fault the place, was served by Ellie she was so helpful and couldn’t do enough for us whilst we were there. She is a real credit to the pub. Thank you old white beare Norwood

A wonderful Sunday lunch took my partner, sister, brother in law and niece, the food, atmosphere and staff, must mention Ellie and Nat who were our servers, was top-notch, thanks guys

6 of us had booked for mother's day, we found the service really slow. The food was nice but the long waits in-between courses spoilt the experience, and it wasnt busy. We also found the drinks to be very expensive a small pinot grigio and a diet coke cost £9.15

Very welcoming great service great staff and the food was beautiful

Fabulous meal for Mother's Day. Great atmosphere, gorgeous food and first class service. Thank you

Family trip out for food to this beautiful pub set in a lovely village..very well kept outside area & inside just as nice. Greeted with a warm welcome from bartender. We all had steaks, cooked beautifully, no room for pudding, unfortunately, but will return for 1 soon.. Very reasonably priced...recommended to friends

Great for food and drink at a very reasonable price too.

Been a few times as a great place to eat and catch up after our dog walk. Wasn't busy but waitress must've been, very easy to order on the app. Had to ask where my latte was, pudding served before plates (I always stack them) taken away and not sure what went on with the crumble... I've never left food before. My friends vegetarian meals looked and tasted lovely. Nice space for our dogs to relax

The worst pub I have been in for a long time. My friend and I visited on Wednesday 28th February. My friend had rung and booked a table the week before. We arrived to be told we don't do table service mid week. My friend stated that the last time she visited to a booked table les than a year ago. The female member of bar staff quite arrogantly stated that its been 18 months since we did table service. Why was that not told to my friend when she rang to book? The pub was very cold no heating and we were both cold and we were wearing sweaters.There was a fire on in a back room near the toilets were there was nobody using. The food was mediocre my Scampi was lukewarm. My friends order was without sweet potatoes and just extra chips. Why wasn't this mentioned before serving.I ordered pint of Timothy Taylor landlord which was the first pint pulled had not been drawn off beforehand. It was flat and tasteless. Would never dream of visiting this pub again.Also the Scampi was cooked in oil that was terrible the aftertaste stayed with me for the rest, of the afternoon. And our our wait time from ordering at the bar was 45 minutes

Fantastic little Village Pub !!!! Good Food, Good Beer Dog Friendly

I told staff when stonegate took over i would not go in after using a computer to supposedly take pics of a staff member(never happened and was caused by either there kp who has said b4 people are taking pics of female staff or the assistant manager's daughter at the time. I have since been in 2 time xmas and new year 2023/24 times since as family dragged me. I was accused as of this reason for am i allowed in tonight oh we need to speak to manager. I did nothing wrong an have been in since yet not allowed in tonight. Stonegate and bars in general need better management and rules against customers being slander by their staff. People need protection from biased companies and dishonesty in a blame to claim world where the companies staff accuse falsely with no proof. My family have lived in this village over 50 year i know all the locals, as i grew up here, 1 company takes over and i am named as above. This is wrong whether its the company or a staff members fault i have my origional complaint saved, a complaint where i was offered no more than a courtesy. Why was i ok to go in over xmas and now stopped due to 1 person. Its slander and bias, its not right in any way as i did nothing wrong By the way 2 staff and no customers when i was not allowed in. I dont do biased pubs or those which staff bad mouth customers and are allowed to. I WILL RETRY ONCE THE NEW TENANT IS IN!!! All i can say is about time and hallelujah!

The Sunday dinner was poor, with mash that had clearly been cooked a long time ago, undercooked parsnips, undercooked roast potatoes and a lamb shank lacking in meat. The promise of extra gravy, Yorkshires and roast potatoes never materialised as nobody came to check on our table until they cleared our plates. An extra Yorkshire might have alleviated some of our disappointment with the overall quality of food. We would have liked more drinks but nobody asked if we wanted anything more when the food came and no member of staff came back until we were finished. Basic service in a pub or restaurant is to check on a table and ask if they need anything and are happy with their food. Some decent pub food and good customer service is what we expect from a country pub and our experience was very much lacking. We don't blame the young staff as the waitress who first seated us was friendly and brought our drinks quickly but once we had ordered that is where the good service ended.

Great food, great atmosphere and great service. Natalie was very attentive and couldn’t do enough. We will be back!

Wish l'd readed the reviews before going to the White Bear,booked a table but in wasn't booked when we arrived, there was only afew people eating so got a table (now l know why it was quite) both ordered lamb shank my husband was ok but there wasn't alot of meat ,mine was burnt the little bit of meat l did get off the bone was dried up ,the vegetable were hard and everything was luke warm, didn't stay for dessert,won't be coming again.

Absolutely gorgeous food and beautiful pub Ellie, Kim Charlie and Alex (the chef) went above and beyond to take care of us Super friendly and welcoming staff I cannot recommend this pub more Get yourselves round, you wont be disappointed Deffo my fave pub in the whole of Bradford Keep up the amazing work guys and see you all again soon

Terrible experience. Food was inedible and burnt. Service very slow . All meals were served separately with the last persons being served after everyone had eaten and after having reminded them twice. Absolutely shocking with no apologies until we complained . They did knock off two meals as an apology. This did not help with the fact that the food and service were terrible. I don’t mind paying good money for good food and service . There was neither ! Absolutely shocking ! It was like they couldn’t be bothered , not even enough to get the order correct or on time ! We ordered a beef burger from the child’s menu to only receive a chicken burger . It’s honestly the worst meal we have ever had along with the worst service ! Disappointed

The first time I’ve visited the pub and unfortunately will not be returning again for food. I attended this afternoon with family (6 adults and 3 children in total). We sat at our table to missing cutlery which we had to ask for, not a great start. All adults ordered starters which came out fairly prompt and the kids meals came out with the starters. The kids meals were great, the portion sizes were huge and for only £5.50 it also included a pudding! But it went downhill from there. We’d been sitting at the table almost 2 hours until we received our mains and the excuses we received were ‘you’re a big table’ - debatable, I wouldn’t consider 6 adults a big table when the children had already eaten and that ‘they were busy’, which isn’t really our problem. The food eventually came and we were missing cutlery they failed to replace when the starters were taken away so again we had to ask for more. Three of us had the Sunday lunch while the others ordered from the normal menu and everyone had at least one complaint about their meal apart from one. The roasts were missing some veg (they didn’t let us know about this until I pointed out it was missing - apparently they had run out) they were missing the stuffing and crackling, they also didn’t have an adequate amount of meat. I received one thin slice on mine not sure if this is their usual portions but going off their numerous comments about food stock I presumed they tried rationing the meat on each plate and hoped we wouldn’t say anything... The pie arrived with the wrong sides and the gammon arrived burnt, hard and inedible. We all thought the meals had been plated up and then microwaved again. We complained and luckily got two meals knocked off the bill but if we weren’t so fed up after being there almost 2.5 hours we’d have pushed for all the adult meals to be knocked off as it was appalling. It has the potential to be a lovely food spot but it needs some definite improvement.

Booked in for a Birthday meal . When we arrived the table wasn’t ready and they were cleaning the table and setting the it around us. The food when it finally arrived came all at different times . The fish and chips were burnt and I have no idea how they could serve it . There were six of us and we had all finished by the time the sixth meal came. We ordered a beef burger from the child’s menu only to find it was a chicken burger when it arrived . The full size burger was the same size as the child burger ! The service was really poor and no apologies were given for any of the issues that we had. Eventually when we brought it to the staffs attention they then apologised and offered to knock something off the bill. They didn’t knock anything off for poor service . I don’t mind paying for good food but the entire experience was appalling . Really disappointed in what we thought would be a good experience . They had been busy with Sunday dinners that day but it should not impact anyone who doesn’t want a Sunday dinner. I can honestly say I have never experienced anything so poor ! Needless to say no tip was given …. Other than do better next time … not that there will be one for us! Terrible !

Very disappointed, food used to be so good here, lamb shank overdone, dry and hard, Sunday lunch no meat left what was left was a shocking measly portion no crackling. Another couple sat near us sent their food back and left! Won't be returning anytime soon.

Had really fantastic day at the old white beare the food was delicious, the staff where very welcoming and the management team too. Very clean, great menu and we have booked to come back on Christmas Day too and New Year’s Eve thank you old white beare

Very disappointing as I heard good things about this place. Where do I begin… absolutely appalling service and incompetent staff! Completely forgot one of our drinks that we ordered. Waited about 30 minutes for someone to take our food order and after an hour of waiting for food we left. Will never be heading back there and not should anyone else!

We had a fabulous Sunday lunch here today! Food was perfect with extra Yorkshire puddings!! We will definitely be going back. The service was also great. Our waitress looked after us and was very friendly. Dog friendly too!

By far and away, the worst meal I have ever had. Meat (lamb shank) was ok but cold, the veg was rock solid, and also cold, but strangely dried out (leftovers?). Struggled to cut and chew the parsnip, and carrot, roast potatoes were raw, my son's pig in blanket was pink!! Won't be going back.

Great traditional pub with a multiple wood fires and cask ales that are always in good condition

Nice cosy pub, good beers but food menu limited and some of the choices not avaliable.

Good pint of Guinness, Appauling food, miserable waitress. Would not recommend and will not be coming back anytime soon

Appalling! Went for an 80th birthday meal. If you book, check if they have a function as that will take priority over you. After our main meal, we had to ask for our empty plates to be removed & for a dessert menu. We went to order dessert and he then checked and told us the chef had left. If we’d been served in a timely fashion we might have got a dessert. We won’t be going back.

Just had lunch here with my wife and family. The area we were seated in was so cold and not heated, we sat there freezing and uncomfortable. When the food was brought to the table it immediately cooled down, I had ordered fish, chips and mushy peas or should I say mushy cold pea as the portion was less than a small spoon in size. I think you can do better this.

Saturday 20 January, I must say that we found the service was excellent, friendly and helpful. The Venison Pie was good but the roast carrot and parsnip veg could have been better (Chef take note) Beer good tried a few lol. The atmosphere was buzzing with real and friendly folk and their dogs including ours. Real pub real people ,

Went for afternoon tea, not many people in the restaurant but still got forgotten about when ordering drinks or extra food! staff didn’t have a clue what afternoon tea/tipsy afternoon tea included. Had to argue about the bill at the end and made to feel like we were trying to get freebies when explaining the drinks were included in the afternoon tea and we had already paid a deposit, no apologies, just snarls from the 3 members of staff behind the bar! Would not recommend. Never had an experience quite like it!

Eesh. If you want to go somewhere and be forgotten about, not served your order, average drinks, incorrect bill, arguments about incorrect bill, no apology for anything, and some miserable faces.. here’s your spot. Unfortunately it’s not what we went for.

Ellie was amazing as usual, food was lovely, great service 😁

What a lovely surprise this was - we went with our son his wife and teenage grandson - We walked into the small bar with beautiful real fires burning in the first two rooms making a very cosy welcome. Unfortunately no fire in the dinning room where we ate but it still felt warm. The staff were helpful and we all enjoyed our food and felt it was good value. A nice place to go for a drink on a cold winter’s night. Wish we had a pub like that in our area it would make a great "local"!

Family lunch out for a birthday and we were all disappointed. The Old White Beare was chosen as it has always done amazing food; unfortunately today's fell far below what we have come to expect. The starter - was supposed to be a mushroom topped bruschetta, what came was cold and served on a slice of what looked and tasted like a slice of toasted Warburton's. The main - fish was very over cooked, with batter black in places, chips were undercooked and hard and a came with a spoonful of cold mushy peas presented in a tiny pot. Still a great pub but food at the Beare has changed, very sad to say, for the worse.

It has been a long standing tradition to meet friends on New Years Day at this pub although we did miss out 2023 following the Stonegate takeover. We gave the pub another chance and met on Jan 1st and it turned out to be a...

Booked in for a meal today as part of our Christmas tradition. We were welcomed and served by Natalie who made us feel very welcome. The pub was quiet but felt very homely with the decor and Christmas decorations. Between us we had turkey and beef bourguignon for main, both came mash and seasonal vegetables. For dessert it was Christmas pudding and custard, and berry tart; both delicious. A good selection of beers including 4 hand pulled ales. The piano is a lovely touch in the corner of the dining room. I'm sure we'll be back soon, Adam (Craft.Beer.Monkey)

Lovely place, but service was terrible, to the point where the menu says rib eye steak served with chips and onion rings and apparently its an option, dinks order wrong, pudding order wrong, the kids menue for burger they say its doesn't come with cheese, ok why not say that when raking our order, pretty annoying really as its a nice place. Any way hope when the staff read this they can reflect on their knowledge of the menu and possibly just do their job 😉

One of the best traditional village pubs around in a beautiful countryside setting. Big open fires make it the perfect place after a long winter walk. Food is excellent, especially the Sunday Roast dinner but, highly recommend their Mushroom Wellington for the veggies as well. Wonderful friendly atmosphere and dogs are welcome too.

Brilliant country pub and very friendly staff definitely going again

Just went for a Friday night drink. Did have any food

Had Sunday lunch with the family. The food was poor. Frozen yorkshire puddings & hard vegetables. Staff inexperienced too.

It was a great place to meet up with our friends for lunch -The restaurant dining room was all dressed up with lovely twinkling lights and a log burning fire-it was gorgeous and cosy The staff were really helpful and made sure everything was just...

The pub has a warm cosy atmosphere and was a great place to have lunch with our friends The menu was lovely with plenty of choice. Tho food was very good and plentiful and we were so full we sadly could not find room for a pudding - we must try them next time There was an open log fire in the snug where we loved drinking our coffees . All 6 of us enjoyed ourselves and we will be back for our next reunion next month -thank you

Lovely pub, atmosphere and food were amazing, will definitely return, Ellie and Natalie were lovely and very welcoming to us all.

Disappointing. I visited with 6 other family members. No table service. The pies were ok - the veg not. It let the whole meal down. It was raw, completely. Couldn't cut nor bite it. A real shame. Once the plates arrived at the table, we didn't see a waitress until they came to collect the plates. No-one asked whether everything was ok. Nobody appeared bothered. We won't be going again.

Absolutely terrible serve and we were treated like we were an inconvenience. We book a table for 7.30. when we arrived we were told there was a wait for food which was fine. We were shown to our table. We waited over half an hour...

No mussels, no steak , no pigs in blankets. Reserved a table on a Wednesday evening thinking it would be busy . It was dead , no atmosphere, waitress was miserable. Never came to ask if things were OK, the game pie was covered in a layer of concrete. The filling was tasteless!! Won't be returning. On a lighter note the Xmas lights kept going out , I said wait until they put 50p in the meter. The lights came on again, this happened several times. Until my daughter realised she was knocking the plug with her foot . That was the highlight and my family getting together for a meal . I have told a few people not to eat here .

I loved the atmosphere and history of The Old White Beare. My sister and I had a very warm welcome from the manager and the staff were very helpful. We only had a small meal given it was lunch but it was delicious. It was...

Great place nice food and great atmosphere

Went Sunday at 5pm, had no Sundays dinners left, half the menu was unavailable. No veg. Waited 30mins for starter, 40mins extra for mains. Ham hock was frozen bought, undercooked roast potatoes and mash was like play dough. Truffle fries were overpriced. Had to get own cutlery betweens courses. It took 3 times to get coca cola correct, watered down then the glasses smelt of old people. Worst experience I've had this year. They did discount it slightly but not good enough. It's not the waitresses fault but chef and management fault for not ordering correctly and allowed such a subpar experience.

Me and my partner came here recently as we were looking for somewhere nice for Sunday lunch, my partner mentioned Old white beare as he has been years ago and remembered it was nice, it is safe to say this is now not the case....

Lovely old pub. Good selection of beers, great pint of Black Sheep. Lunch was extremely delicious no complaints from the 6 of of us dining that lunch time. Will definitely be back

A strange experience last night. Booked a table for 7.30 pm, arrived at 7.25. Sat down with some drinks and a bottle of wine for dinner, went to the bar at 8.05 to order food. Was told the kitchen closed at 8.00 so couldn’t order. We said why didn’t you come across and let us know seeing as we had booked for dinner, was told it was on Facebook and should have known. We quickly had to ring another pub to try and get a table, was welcomed with open arms by the Brown Horse in Shelf, sat down with them at 8.20 eating hearty food by 8.45: brilliant. We’ve been lots of times to the White Bear and always been happy but last nights experience was just wrong on so many levels, it’s unlikely we’ll try again. Our feeling was it was the staff there couldn’t be bothered, shame.

Paid a visit to The Old White Beare as we hadn't been for a couple of months. First thing we noticed was the Menus had been changed. Previously we could have had a Starter and Main for £13.50 and Yes the new Menu is worded...

Barman/ meet and greeter had obviously missed the training on customer service. Not a smile to be seen. Food mostly good, but cauliflower cheese had an odd taste as did the apple and caramel crumble. Lamb and beef on Sunday dinner tender and plentiful. Food...

Afternoon Tea for Eight members of Brighouse Stitchers celebrating a 90th birthday today. Food excellent, warm and cosy for a lovely relaxed afternoon.

Visited on a Tuesday lunchtime & the food was excellent with good friendly service from Rob

Had a lovely family get together at The Olde White Beare. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Natalie who served our table was really helpful and great with the Grandchildren. She organised a delicious looking dessert for our Grandson who has a milk allergy....

Sunday lunch was great with excellent service from Natalie. Massive bonus that dessert was included FOC.

This was our second visit to the White Beare, we enjoyed our first meal there so decided to go again. We had Sunday lunch on both occasions, the food was consistently good & the puddings were free on this particular day! We were served by...

Upon entering the pub the staff were very welcoming and friendly. The seating was comfortable in the dining area and the ambience serene. We chose the kids lunch which was ample as a main. The food itself was quality and tasteful. Would definitely recommend anyone...

Lovely and welcoming. Natalie our server was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and we will be back soon.

We arrived without booking which didn’t cause a problem in the least. The place was lovely and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The menu was quite extensive with the four of us choosing different options. Every one of us described our own meal as excellent. Will definitely be visiting again and would highly recommend. But next time we will book, to avoid what would be a huge disappointment. Well done to everybody at the Old White Beare . Thank you.

Enjoyed our evening a family of 8 people, the food , ambience of the pub was excellent as was the friendliness of the team working, was very impressive. Also keep a good pint of Landlord, (most important ) thank you we shall definitely return again soon.
