The White Bear in Lambeth

We had a party of 4, plus a wheelchair and a toddler in a buggy - the staff was so nice, professional and accommodating.

Excellent, friendly staff. Beef and veg very good gravy just a little weak

I visited this pub with my friend yesterday and it was great. Amazing service, super friendly staff and an overall good vibe. I will definitely recommend.

I thought that the food was very good but my starter - Ox cheek crockettes - could have had a few green salad leaves, or something - to bring a little colour. My Main course was very nice. The fruit crumble dessert was very sweet. A little too much for my liking. My wife would have liked some more green vegetables with her mains. Overall we enjoyed our meal.

The venison Wellington was splendid! In fact everything was delicious…curried parsnip soup, veggie burger, steak and ale pie. All great. And dessert apple crumble & custard - exactly the way it should be. Also very good affordable wine list, cozy and lovely decor. Highly highly recommend.

Great place, very welcoming staff, excellent food

We took the sales team here for lunch, and the food and the service were brilliant. Super friendly staff, good food and nice atmosphere to socialise in.

Went there for lunch on a Saturday before Christmas. There was a big party in part of the restaurant and only one waiter so although we were sat in the restaurant we had to order from the bar. I was half expecting to have to collect our food from the kitchen. It was nice food but honestly service is part of a restaurant experience so no tips for you. 👎

Amazing pub, I’ll definitely be coming back. Mow’s service was fantastic

Mowsumi was great, looked after us all night

Pub / Theatre combo in fine location. Top play - the Last Days of Liz Truss. Excellent one woman performance of a crimally shite comedy PM. Good price too. Excellent atmosphere in pub despite being told several times that the table we were on was booked for an hour ahead. Calm down guys.

Great venue. We had lunch for 20 people, the food was fabulous, staff really attentive and the party afterwards was great!! Would recommend.

visited yesterday ordered scotch egg which they were out of , only wanted a snack so decided to share a scampi starter , appreciate it was a starter , but had 5 bits of squashed scampi so heavily breadcrumbed that we could not even taste the scampi , the breadcrumbs we’re a nice flavour but it was more like eating toast ? I have never had flat scampi before and we were not sure it was scampi , we should have said something at the time but barman was so friendly it seemed churlish , it just a warning what to expect , atmosphere was lovely

We had a a group booking for 14 people for a Sunday roast and everything was fantastic. Booking the table was easy, the atmosphere was great and the food was not only delicious, but came out quite quickly given the size of our booking. Suzza who served us was very friendly and did a great job.

Great food, great staff, great value, many thanks to Sakiv … outstanding, cant wait to return

Had the bestest time at the White Bear! We threw a large Christmas party here and the night was perfect. The food was prompt but most importantly, delicious. The staff were so lovely and friendly. Defo recommend for both hospitality and food quality. Thanks for having us!

Fabulous service from Sakiv, he was so friendly and helpful! Delicious food and lovely atmosphere at The White Bear, would definitely recommend!

Service was very good, and clearly a well run establishment.

Suja was great and waitress, and we enjoyed our dog having The White Bears, roast dinners for dogs

Good atmosphere but shocking service. Gave up trying to get a drink in the end.

Delicious fish finger sandwich. Excellent service despite kitchen meltdown ☺️

We booked The White Bear for some Christmas drinks after work. Every member of staff was fantastically welcoming and helpful all the way through the process and the room was arranged really well for us. We had a great evening wishing in the Christmas period with colleagues.

Went for a Sunday roast and excellent service from Mow. Food was fantastic.

We recently had our Xmas party here and have to say the team did an Incredible job! We were a group of 53 people and every person loved their food! The staff were great! Very friendly gave fabulous service! Would absolutely recommend!!

Had Mow for a lovely roast share platter with my girlfriend. Highly recommend good vibes and scrumptious food!

Great food, great vibes, good prices, wonderful service from Mow

The atmosphere was amazing and the service was great. Our server was Ren and she was so helpful. We didn’t have to wait too long for our drinks and her energy was the best and made our night even better.

We had a company meal with over 50 people here at the venue last night and it was fantastic. The staff leading upto the event we're super helpful and were so accommodating with our changing needs. Wonderful friendly and smooth service on the night and the food was very tasty fab portions sizes especially considering it was a festive set menu. Thank you again to everyone at The White Bear!

Really tasty fish and chips. Burger ok but could be better (chips great) Staff wonderful Atmospher really relaxed and lovely.

Enjoyed the meal (the steak and ale pie was great) nice wines as well. A very pleasant pre-theatre dinner

Delicious food, amazing service. Thank you for a great afternoon!

I went for a meal with my friends and Valeria was so so nice! Really good service made us feel welcome and food was lovely!

Nice, convenient pub just a short walk from the tube station. Counter was understaffed with one poor soul trying to help 50 people with their orders and food service also a bit delayed. That said, my venison scotch egg was fabulous and really enjoyed the chicken escalope.

Lovely time for an impomtu xmas party. Ren took great care to make sure we had a lovely time. Will certainly be back!

Beautiful pub! Feels like a country pub in the centre of London. Mow was so helpful and provided a great service! Great Sunday Roast would highly recommend!

Such amazing service and excellent roasts. My new fav place for my Sunday lunch

Had a great Sunday roast and fantastic hospitality from Renee. Will definitely be back!

Love this pub. Fantastic staff, great food and lovely atmosphere.

Ren was super friendly and made amazing drinks. Lovely place!

Had a lovely meal at The White Bear. Valeria, our server started us off with a warm greeting and that carried through the night. Menu all looked great, and I can say the burger is worth it.

The White Bear never disappoints. I think they serve the best Sunday roast in London. As for the staff, they're always super friendly and accommodating.

Brilliant Lunch, sharing dinner was amazing and so much of it. Great value for money and the staff were lovely and cheerful

Everything was amazing. Specially with the waitress Valeria. She was very polite and Patient with my friends. The food was good. I wasn’t expecting something amazing but was really good.

The place was so nice. Went there many times for sunday roasts with my family. We were looked after by sakip and he was doing absolutely fantastic job. We are going to book for family Christmas party after such a nice warm hospitality. Food was amazing .

I had been there for Sunday roast and the food amazing, sakiv was really nice to us he make sure everything is ok .we will back with our frnds for his great hospitality

Excellent Sunday roast with all the extras cooked beautifully. Friendly staff and buzzing atmosphere. Really enjoyed.

The food was really tasty, the vegan burger was delicious. Valeria served me, she was very kind and her service was awesome

The food was amazing and Valeria was very polite and helpful and I like her.

I had a lovely time. Very good Roast. 10/10 service, Valeria served us and was wonderful.

The food was delicious and Valeria was very kind

Valeria was a really good server, I liked her communication skills so much. The food was really tasty as well.

The service was good and also Valeria was very friendly and When I came to the restaurant I want valeria to serve me she is the best.

Valeria was very friendly. The consumer service was amazing and everything was quickly. I'm not a very fan of British food but I liked their fish and chips.

Great experience. Great pub. Valeria was very polite.

Great service, great food - really was a relaxing Sunday

I had a very lovely time the white bear. Very good roast and great wine. Sakiv served us and was absolutely wonderful. 10/10 service. He’s an attribute to your company.

Great service from Sakiv as always.

A bit of a wait for food, but it was delicious and they were extremely busy. Staff were very polite and helpful.

Food OK, service a bit slow, portraits of gormless royals put me off my food.

La comida era deliciosa y era la mejor comida en un restaurante que he tenido! Fui con amigos a comer y luego ver una obra de teatro arriba, así que obtuvimos un bono adicional del 10% de descuento en nuestra factura. Personal maravilloso y comida maravillosa. Recomiendo encarecidamente una visita al Oso Blanco.

Excellent pub with genuinely the best chips ever.

Este es nuestro lugar “al que ir” cuando queremos relajarnos y disfrutar de un gran ambiente de domingo asado y agradable. Como siempre, el personal era fantástico junto con la comida y bebida todo servido con una sonrisa a un precio razonable. Si aún no has probado The White Bear, te estás perdiendo un capricho.

The food and the extensive beer selection were great.

We went on a recommendation from a local and so glad we did, we enjoyed everything from Guinness with black current, Chambord cheese, fish and chips which you must have in England, espresso martinis were outstanding. Valerie and the manger Reese were outstanding in every way so much so that when he mentioned to come back for Sunday roast we went and he had a table waiting for us, loved the special attention we got and if you go to London it’s around the corner from Beefeaters distillery so don’t miss it and say hi from me lol!

Very good food in a lovely pub. We went to the play at the attached theatre which was very good.

Food was delicious and our waitress was charming.

Had lovely meal there with friends. Was looked after by Adam our Waiter . He was so lovely and made our experience even more enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble for this young man. Was sad they had taken their lovely pork and leek sausages off the menu but Burger was equally tasty. Had Hummus as a starter and there was quite a bit. Friend had soup Starter and said that too was tasty. Plus money off if your visiting theatre. Whats not to like at the White Bear in Kennington.

Really good food and great space for toddlers to move around

Came across this gem of a place after visiting a local Art gallery . The staff in the restaurant part were very friendly and very good at there job .The food was good . And there was a great atmosphere about the place . Will definitely go back

On the plus side, the food was good. Apart from that the pub really seems to have gone downhill since my last visit in the spring. There didn’t seem to be enough staff on so we were constantly having to attract attention to order more drinks etc. and then, after we’d eaten, our table was left strewn with empty glasses and plates to the point where I eventually cleared it myself and put everything on a free one behind us while the staff looked on. We ended up feeling so frustrated with the lack of service that we moved to a different part of the pub where we could go to the bar ourselves and where we found another table covered in glasses which I once again had to clear before we could sit down (the end of the bar was also full of unwashed glasses). We then found ourselves having to move again because of an extremely loud group of people near us and once again had to clear the table of glasses before we could sit. We then realised that all of the lights above the seats on our side of the pub (immediately inside the door on the left as you entered) were out so we were basically sitting in darkness. I went up to ask the bar staff if they could turn the lights on but was met with a shrug and an explanation that they didn’t know how to do that. Another customer at the bar told me this was because the new manager was trying to ‘create atmosphere’ to which I responded there was a difference between mood lighting and not being able to see the faces of the people on the other side of the table (incidentally we had had to use the torches on our phones earlier to read the menus in the restaurant). Eventually the switch was found and the lights went on although only for a brief period of time before we were plunged into darkness again. By this point we collectively decided to give up and sit in the dark which was fine until dead on 11 when the lights all over the pub went on and someone I can only presume was the new manager began hollering for us to drink up and leave. He then came over and told us directly we had three minutes to finish and go. One of our party commented to the rest of us that they thought it was twenty minutes drinking up time at which point the same barman came back and quite rudely pointed out to us that if he’d said ten minutes we would have taken three times that so he thought he’d cut out the middle man and tell us three minutes so we’d leave on time. Talk about being made to feel like a valued customer! I should point out that the pub wasn’t that busy so none of this poor service was down to the staff trying to cope with a high volume of customers. We weren’t the only people that were complaining either. An older couple near us in the restaurant who ordered before us were apparently forgotten and then had to rush their food when it finally arrived as they were going to the theatre. Before they’d finished somebody came over and told them they would have to leave the rest of their meal and go up immediately as they were holding the show for them which seemed to anger them quite a bit. Anyway, it was quite an uncomfortable evening and put a bit of a dampener on my birthday celebration. The sad thing for the pub is that one of the people with me is in a choir and he was looking for somewhere in the area they could use to go to after rehearsals every week and thought the White Bear might be a candidate. Not surprisingly, after the terrible experience he had had though, he said they would look for another venue…

I celebrated my birthday at The White Bear in Kennington and from initial contact right through to the lunch itself, the whole process was perfect! 30 of us ate Sunday lunch then we moved into the cosy snug area by the bar. The meals were all pre-ordered via an easy to use link making bill itemisation super simple; which is just great for a large group. The staff were super friendly, accommodating and most (if not all) of my guests messaged me afterwards thanking me for such a lovely afternoon with delicious, freshly food. I couldn't recommend the venue highly enough - THANK YOU!

Food was great (especially the roast, as the sizes were good). Service was very prompt for the fish and chips, however it took around 20-30 mins for the roasts to come. Atmosphere was good, however, I suggest you book a reservation if you want to get nicer and bigger seating.

Server- Sahiv- total star! Worked off his feet- really attentive and kind- good man ! Great Sunday roast- love this place Pauline x

Very good pub food, traditional but catered for every taste and need. Staff were so kind and friendly. Can’t wait to support their small above-the-pub theatre!

Stunning pub. Exceptionally clean with great interiors and best beer garden in London. Food was good and staff was friendly. Being dogfriendly is the cherry on top.

Our favourite go to for the Sunday roast ! As usual the staff were very welcoming and helpful with swift service and professional attitude. The food was delicious and the wine helped it go down easily ! Be back soon for a repeat visit.

Great pub, and very elevated pub food! Had the tomato salad and the quality was superb.

Absolutely wonderful place. Amazing staff: friendly, efficient and service-oriented. It's our favorite pub in London and we take all our friends and family here when they come to visit. Low-key, friendly and stylish place. Big thanks, as always, to Reece and Adrian! LOVE IT!

Had an amazing lunch and drink today. The place was especially busy due to the cricket but the service was not lacking at all. The girl they had on floor, think her name was georgia, was excellent and well poised despite the obvious rush. Will be visiting again.

Great service from Sakiv, lovely food & great unique venue 👍🏻 haven’t been in a long time & the refurbishment is fantastic 👍🏻

A cozy pub, with the typical area at the front, self service, a restaurant area in the middle and a nice little garden at the back. Would come again and again

My girlfriend and I went on a Sunday afternoon. This was the best Sunday roast I’ve ever had, hands down. The portion was satisfying, staff attentive and friendly, and prices more than reasonable! Great atmosphere. This place is a gem. Highly recommended.

I went for the Sunday roast on a friend's recommendation. There was so much delicious meat that I couldn't finish it all.

This is such a delightful pub. Lovely, friendly staff. Our Sunday roast was among the nicest I remember eating in any pub. Delicious, perfectly cooked beef, enormous pillowy Yorkies, lots of good veg. Thank you, we will be back often.

Great service, the staff was very nice and friendly. Met up for dinner and some drinks with my mate and honestly the rump steak they served was one of the best meats ive ever had. Also the atmosphere was nice and welcoming.

We were there for lunch. Reece is absolutely lovely bloke x service. He had a great sense of humour. The food was delicious

Sakip is amazing!!! The best server! A lovely pub!!

The atmosphere is pleasant the food is tasty and the staff is always helpful a wonderful spot

Booked a table for lunch before going to the Oval 100 Eliminator A stroke of luck to find such a brilliant pub everything about it was great from the moment we walked in Food was delicious staff couldn’t be more helpful and friendly Would recommend highly

Amazing staff! Will definitely come again.

This pub is within a 5-minute walk from Kennington Station. This time I visited on a Sunday and ordered the Sunday Roast. There are various options such as chicken, pork, and beef, and each person can order what they like, but we recommend the sharing plate for two people, which comes with one meat and side dish for two people. However, the portions are quite large, so if you're hungry or want to try other dishes, we recommend visiting with a group of 3 or more.

This place has a warm ambiance, great food, and excellent service. Highly recommend checking it out!

This is a great place and I loved the food - we went for Sunday roast and did the sharing plate for two. The beef was AMAZING. I just found it a bit odd that it was a sharing plate for two with two pieces of beef but only one piece of chicken and one piece of pork (which was a bit dry) (would have been better with two small pieces of each) - we had to ask for sauces ie horseradish, apple and mustard. The roast potatoes were good but I have had better. All round it was good value for money and a great atmosphere - service was rather slow but that could be because we had a very late booking for lunch

Great food, amazing location and fantastic atmosphere, Sakiv recommend the best crab salad I've had. 10/10

Nice pub along with beautiful back garden. Perfect place to find peace with a pint after work . Cheers 🥂

Nice pub with a garden out the back. Good selection of drinks and a nice rustic vibe. They do an excellent pub quiz.

I had a fish finger sandwhich with fries for my lunch on my break from work. It was sublime! Super friendly staff and even better chefs! I will be eating here again.

Had some drinks on Sunday. Outstanding service and even better beer!! Thanks to the team, you are all wonderful!

Youngs beer somewhat disappointing here.
