The people working there were just so kind. Valentine’s night, family of four with two under 8years, no booking, not a problem. They all went above and beyond; taking an interest in us, giving ideas as to where to visit, delicious food and drinks, great service, engaging with the children, just being so lovely. Even a lollipop at the end of the meal for the little ones. Such a lovely, chilled atmosphere with very kind staff. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area but even more so if you have children with you. If we are lucky enough to be in the vicinity again, we know where to come.

The White Bear is the yard stick that all other such establishments should be judged by. The value for money, ambience, liquid refreshment is second to none.

what a Gem … we were on holiday in the area and popped in for a evening meal, it was beautiful, proper food, cooked well, and presentation on the plate was A1, service was really lovely and really worth a visit but I imagine they fill up quickly so a call ahead would be advisable .

My birthday lunch was disappointing as were the food choices my friends made. Quite a good choice of vegetables but the gravy was tasteless. Nice homemade mint sauce saved the day. Sweet choice doesnt change much from one time to another. Have had very nice meals in the past. It was quite a busy Friday lunchtime. Not sure if there was a staff shortage.

We have stayed in this beautiful village for a weeks break. We found the gem that is The White Bear. Phil Sue and team made us very welcome. The food has been fabulous. Great portions and beautifully cooked. Sue’s home made desserts are not to be missed. The local White Bear Bitter is a great pint. Creamy and slipped down too easily. Thank you for your hospitality.

Had a table booked for 7pm decided to go over for a drink first and as we had a little dog was told we had to sit outside in the rain until the table was free. The table was tucked in the corner of the public bar where all the locals were staring at us. I asked if we could possibly sit in the dining area when I was abruptly told no! Can't comment about the food because we didn't stay for any but if it is anything like the attitude I wouldn't bother. If you have a dog don't bother as they are not dog or human friendly for that matter!

We were staying in the area for the weekend and found this pub on google. We ordered Steak & Ale Pie and Lamb Rump and 2 desserts to takeout. We weren't disappointed.The steak and ale pie was to die for, and although the lamb was rather tough....i thoroughly enjoyed it.The desserts were Sticky Toffee Pudding and home made toffee sauce, and mixed berry mess.They were really delicious and if we come back to the area again, we'll definitely be back for seconds lol

Disappointing given recent reviews. Apparently the menu on the website is not served on a Sunday ♀️ Had we known we would not have booked. The Sunday menu was poor and did not cater for vegetarians. I was presented with two burnt Yorkshire puddings and a couple of potatoes. Shared vegetables were bland and unpleasant. No high chair for babies.

Quick service. Drinks at the table within 5 minutes of our arrival.Extensive menu with plenty of choice including the children’s menu and specials board. We all had a main course and dessert. The food was delicious, piping hot and good portion sizes. It was also good value for money. We wish we lived locally (we are on holiday) so that we could visit again!

This was our first stay at the White Bear for a few years but we were delighted to find it to be as excellent as ever. Despite the COVID restrictions the staff did a great job of making us welcome and the rooms were as comfy as ever. The bar may be emptier than pre pandemic but the beer is still kept to the same high standard (even though it only has half a mile to travel from Theakstons Brewery!). Add in a wide menu of top quality food and you can't got wrong!

Beautiful, welcoming, friendly village pub. Excellent atmosphere.Phil & Sue are brilliant hosts. All staff were always helpful and very friendly.COVID set up works very well. Layout and one-way system allow easy social distancing.Gorgeous, fresh, home cooked food. Delicious desserts (all homemade by Sue).We only planned to dine there on our first evening, but with such excellent choices & perfectly cooked meals, we ate there every night of our stay! All food was fabulous, but would definitely recommend the black pudding fritters, smoked salmon & prawn salad starter, steak & ale pie, oven baked salmon & ALL of the desserts!We can’t wait to go back, but would definitely recommend booking as it’s very popular.

It would be hard to think of a better all round pub in the centre of Thirsk than the Little 3. It is a very smart and tidy pub in the traditional style; with its music evenings it provides a bit of entertainment; and on non-music nights it is a perfect local pub. The service from the two young ladies was friendly and professional and we always enjoy our visits here.
