Visited on a Saturday night for food without a booking… the bar was very busy and the restaurant was also nearly full but they accommodated us with a table for two. The service and food was excellent, the Cheese Pie was amazing and clearly homemade. Our waiter was really helpful and was attentive and dealt with are requests to amend dishes without any hesitation. The Duty Manager Emily was lovely and was the first contact we had when we arrived and Ashleigh was great recommending the right Gin when we had a drink in the bar afterwards. Defiantly a great local in Middlewich centre.

A bit disappointing. Out for a cycle ride and got a bit peckish so looked on google and found this place so decided to call in for the first time, firstly the restaurant is spotless and decor is very lovely and a little outdoor area which is always a great touch, Onto the food, The main meals were amazing we had the Wexford chicken and the honey chicken and honestly both were amazing, and the chef even came out to check on us and see how we liked the food which I thought was very nice. He’s a lovely Spanish gentleman, who definitely knows how to cook. Finally onto the disappointment desert we went for the eaten mess and chocolate brownie, Both not good. The eaten mess with more cream and fruit almost no meringue. And the brownie seemed it was microwaved to long unfortunately I couldn’t eat it. Although the 4 star review we will be back, just maybe skip desert next time

This pub is fantastic! The roasts are to die for! I recently stayed at a local festival and they allowed take away roasts dinners which I collected. They offered to lend me some cutlery which I returned the next day! Yesterday we returned and dined inside. The interior is beautiful. Lovely attention to detail. The garden is gorgeous with stunning planters. Staff are lovely. Highly recommend 👌

We were there for the FAB festival. So, it's not a normal visit! The pub luckily has plenty of space at the back. A stage, a small drinks corner, and a pizza van with a few tables and chairs set up. We were lucky as we did get seated. The Rajastan Steel Band & Circus were amazing. Fantastic effort from the pub and the staff.

The ale trail was spoilt for a lot of people by the managers/owners decision not to stamp cards unless you drank their choice, all the other venues stamped cards whatever you drank. Won't be spending anymore money here.

We have been here numerous times and I have never reviewed which I apologise for. This pub is so nice. Lovely atmosphere and really nice food. We are never disappointed. It is so fresh and tasty! If you haven't tried it then please give it a go. You will not be disappointed. The only negative is that we were a bit cold. Every time the door opened we felt a strong cold draught. They should really ask customers to stop talking whilst holding the door open. I know I am being picky but these things are important.

We were told the The White Bear was the best place for a meal in Middlewich so we did not hesitate. I was in Middlewich to research my family roots, when I told Paul Cochran this, he produced some interesting local history books to browse while we ate. My husband and I are vegetarian and enjoyed our meal choice. Excellent service and ambiance.

A good pint of real ale. The food was OK but a little disappointed that the mushrooms on my chicken were cremated. Chicken breast was fine. A friend's scampi overcooked and our onion rings had lovely crispy batter but nearly raw onion. (Frying oil too hot?)

Late Sunday roast with all the trimmings hit just the right spot! Having moored our holiday narrow boat we were eagerly looking for something to fill our hungry tummies. The White Bear sounded inviting and it sure was. Sunday roast was advertised until 4pm so with trepidation we ventured forth to see what else we could sample. A welcoming waitress showed us to a table and declared roast was still available! Yes! Two courses for £16.95 sounded very good value and it lived up to its billing. We all chose a starter, king prawns with chilli and garlic, garlic mushrooms and Thai style crab cakes. A fabulous collection of appetisers, the mushrooms were decidedly the stars with a gorgeous creamy cheese sauce atop toasted ciabatta. I was a bit jealous of the crab cakes which my son scoffed with enthusiasm. There were plenty of prawns on offer with our final starter, spicy with chillis and garlic. Three roast beef dinners followed with the usual yorkies (perhaps a little over done but scrummy all the same), roasties, veg and several slices of beef. Tasty and delicious 😋 With a couple of glasses of red, lager for the boys, we needed a wander round the village before heading back to the boat. Try this pub if you are in the vicinity, it’s well worth it!

My partner's birthday and we decided to have evening drinks and some food at The White Bear - having only ever had drinks previously. The service is always excellent and it didn't disappoint again. The dog got great service too as the landlord brought out a big bowl of water for my 'hot' dog and some treats before we'd even got to the bar. The beer is kept well and the staff are friendly and accommodating. We ordered food, for me lasagne and my partner fish and chips (large). The food was very good for pub grub. I'm a chef and honestly was delighted with the delicious creamy lasagne served with crunchy sweet potato fries and an ample portion of buttery garlic bread. Even the salad was fresh and tasty. My partner's meal was equally enjoyable and the homemade chips were as yummy as the large piece of fish with crispy batter. We will definitely eat here again to try other tasty items off the menu - especially as the chef seems to care about his customers' experience as much as the front-of-house staff. Thank you all at The White Bear :)

A friend has just moved to Middlewich and this is her local, what a lucky lass she is! On entering, the place was buzzing but we were warmly greeted and quickly seated. The menu had the usual pub grub classics and a few more unusual dishes. We both chose the pan fried sea bass with spicy noodles and mangetout which was cooked to perfection. The coffee was hot black thick and tasty enough to warrant three cups! This pub has a modern clean appearance with great staff and nice toilets. I can't wait to return to taste more of their Fayre.

Arrived at the pub having heard good things about the food at 9pm on Sunday to be told they were closed despite there being numerous locals drinking at the bar still. The web site stated food served until 10pm. Either get the web site right or even put a sign out. So Disappointed with the attitude we received and the lack of customer care we chose not to return and try again on Monday.

Family meal in the restaurant (ask when booking for bar or restaurant). Menu is very varied, something for everyone as evidenced by the empty plates!! Some may say this is a little old fashioned in terms of service etc, but that’s what we love about it. Vegetables served at the table, fabric napkins, dessert trolley all make for a very pleasant experience. We were welcomed at the bar, served drinks and very quickly sat at our table. All of the staff were friendly, polite and confident in their work. We can’t fault this place. Thank you !

It's a lovely looking pub with a good selection of real ales but it was a bit like American werewolf in London when we walked in..we were proper stared at and the lady serving wasn't really very friendly. We had the steak and ale pie, chips and beans and at £17 each I thought it was very pricey but fortunately the pie was tasty. So in effect we had pie n chips, a coke, a lemonade and it was over 40 quid for 2 people. You could go to The Bridge in Prestbury for a 2 course Sunday lunch for £22...and that's posh. Sorry but your price is over the top.

I have visited this café on a number of occasions & always had great food / service. However, I visited last Saturday morning & left feeling extremely disappointed. During this visit the food was lovely, but the quality of a certain staff member left a lot to be desired. The member of staff struggled to follow instructions. On two occasions I asked for certain things regarding our food order & on two occasions she either ignored or forgot both things. We also purchased some of the Victoria sponge cake to takeaway. When we went to eat the cake once we got home, we found the cake to extremely dry & there was also baking paper in the middle of the sponge. It is a massive disappointment to be writing this review as this was one of my favourite little cafes.
