The White Bear - Steamin' Billy in Hinckley and Bosworth

Great place in Hinckey to grab some food and drinks. The food is delicious

Good size pub with large beer garden, a nice simple burger menu, burgers were nice, would have liked a larger portion of fry’s and coleslaw for the price but quality was good. Would definitely recommend and would go back.

The service here was lovely, staff where super friendly and informed us when the gas was out so it might be a little longer. I think our salad may have been missing from the burgers plate unless we misread the menu but overall we where really happy thank you

I had mr retirement party at the White Bear Saturday night and Richard and the team were just so accommodating, courteous and couldn’t do enough for my family, friends and colleagues. The food was just gorgeous and the whole atmosphere and experience was second to none. I would highly recommend this gorgeous venue to anyone interested ❤️

This place was recommended by a friend and it turned out to be a nice place to start our DILF night out. Good indoor and outdoor seating for having a quiet one or a group get-together. Quality selection of craft beers and ciders. I had a nice pineapple cider that was extremely refreshing. Staff were pleasant and gave some good 'next step places' for our night.

Not sure about the food as never been for food, but the folks behind the bar are very warm and welcoming , the beer on the tap is also a good range.

The pub is a nice place with a decent enough atmosphere, but my vegetarian burger was cooked terribly. It was black as coal, so I wouldn't recommend it. Other guests with me weren't impressed with their meat ones either I'm afraid.

£7 for Neck Oil? £3 cheaper in other Hinckley town centre pubs.

Good beer & burgers at a reasonable price.

Great food , good prices and amazing service, plus dog friendly 👍Went there with my partner and had an amazing time

Friday date night with the missus. Lovely staff, decent prices, excellent food (except the dutty fries/nachos were off the menu, which is sad as they are awesome)... I had the scorpion burger as I love hot spicy food and consider it my superpower, but be warned, this burger (well the sauce to be specific) is immensely hot, it even managed to make my eyeballs sweat.... It was still delicious though. The missus had the hunters burger, which I was reliably informed was "probably the nicest burger I have ever eaten", which is incredibly high and rare praise.... Very much recommended.

Good and popular pub. Nice selection of beer and wine. We didn't eat so can't review food.

Beer is good and when ive had food previously its also been decent. However this is Hinckley and £6.10 for a pint is ridiculous.

Was only there a short while, but was an pleasant place to have a quick drink.

Went for a burger - great quality and good atmosphere

Overall fairly decent but had better burgers. Mine was overcooked and dry.

Six of us met up for lunch, which was as delicious as always. We ordered a variety of burgers between us. The service was great, the food was lovely, and the dog enjoyed his lunch too! 😉 We used to go regularly before the pandemic, and will be doing so again.

Solid veggie burger, friendly staff!

Meal was good, good value for money best burgers in town so tasty.

Brilliant visit everytime! Drinks good, staff friendly, good atmosphere

Lovely atmosphere just like a friendly local

My favourite pub in Hinckley. Awesome vibe Awesome staff i love it

Friendly staff good beer and a welcoming atmosphere. Thanks

Really excellent pub and restaurant serving amazing burgers. Love coming here.

Great selection of drinks! I recommend the Billy!

Cracking pub, good atmosphere, nice outdoor space. Good selection of Ales and IPAs The bar staff nice and friendly. Cant fault them.

Nice little pub for social gatherings

Nice place, nice food. I like it. Please just clean the tables with a wet cloth between customers.

Super quick and easy service using the app to order and pay at the table. Burgers have always been good but they seem to be even better. Cheesy fries were amazing. Delicious.

Interesting traditional pub. Cold beer, order online, & pay same way, "simples"!

Took the kids (and dog) there on Tuesday night, really great burgers and lovely, friendly staff. The Steaming Billy bear is a joy to behold. The only bad thing is I live in London which is Miles away.

Food absolutely beautiful Staff welcoming. Could do with a better choice of drinks.

Good range of drinks, good burgers. Friendly staff

Great local pub which accepts dogs on the lead. Good choice of beers and lagers. As far as I am aware, the only food on offer is a choice of burgers (including veggie options), but those burgers were excellent and great value. Recommended.

Friendly staff great place to chill

Nice garden to sit out in and very good service. Good beer selection.

Nice pub, good beer. Food looked nice if you like burgers (there did not appear to be much else to chose from other than burgers). Staff were nice. Had to download the app to order, which was easy (and I'm not good with high technology 😉). For science lessons visit foxteach.

Well organised seating,ore of us than planned, no problem, adjusted to accommodate

Visited during outdoor only trading. Social distancing was good as was ordering via the app. Staff friendly too Would return

Nice pub , good food , I like the lay out of the bar as well . Easy ordering food through the app as well .

I came here twice in two days; once inside and once outside. Had a cracking time both times.

My girlfriend and I arrived at the pub to meet friends who had already been out for a few hours. We'd just sat down and were in the process of ordering drinks when a bouncer (it says a lot about a place when they feel the need to have one) came over to tell someone on our table to leave as she'd had too much to drink. We then asked if she'd be able to stay if she stuck to soft drinks, to which the response was 'no' as we might still slip her alcohol - none of us would have done this, but I can at least understand the logic. The person in question then agreed to leave, which the rest of us thought would be the end of the apparent issue, but we were then informed that the entire table (seven other people, all of whom were practically sober) had to leave also. I then questioned the landlord as to why he had such a ludicrous policy in place, to which he just shrugged his shoulders and basically said that that's just the way it is. We felt that we had all been punished because one person on our table had been drunk - it's worth noting that she wasn't being abusive to anyone in any way - and were treated with sheer contempt by the management when we tried to challenge them about this. Message to the landlord: seriously, just have some common sense. You could clearly see that none of the rest of us were going to cause any trouble, if you'd actually bothered to look. So now you've not just lost one punter, but eight - all of whom are unlikely to visit again. If you want to have a good night with friends and go somewhere where the staff are going to treat you with respect and actually be mindful that you're putting cash in their till, my advice for you is simple: go elsewhere.

One of our friends was rather drunk, not loud, not causing any issue just sat at table quiet. We were all asked to leave, when we asked why? We were told that pub policy is to remove all the group if one person has had too much to drink. Even though when they came over our friend said no let them stay I’ll leave! But no we all had to go!! What a stupid rule, I understand that the drunk person must leave but why all?? ABSOLUTE JOKE, MY ADVICE WOULD BE IF YOUR GOING TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE ALCOHOLIC DRINK AVOID THIS PLACE! PATHETIC I THINK YOU NEED TO REVIEW YOUR POLICY NOT THAT I WILL RETURN!!!!

Great outdoor space and covered, Tiny Rebel craft ale on tap!

Great place. Had their cider which was tasty (and potent!). Outdoor area is covered and has heaters which is also winner.

Delicious food and a nice atomsphere. Will definitely be coming back for more!

Great place and atmosphere lovely pint

Well organised, friendly and excellent choice of beers and spirits!! Great place!!

Four of us arrived at 9.10pm, two couples. We were greeted and seated at a dirty table, and had ordered drinks by 9.15pm. Drinks finally arrived at our table at 9.30pm, despite having been sat on the bar since 9.20pm, one metre away from us. One drink had to be exchanged because the glass was filthy with the lipstick residue of a previous patron. At 9.40pm the bouncer began shouting at us to finish our drinks, while the bar staff continued to pour pints for other customers. We politely replied a number of times that we would most definitely have left the pub by 10pm. As we and others left at 9.55pm, the landlord loudly and ludicrously informed his customers that "the police are on their way". For some reason, The White Bear seems quite insistent that the Covid-19 restrictions will turn your evening into an unpleasant ordeal. If they are so conscious of the need to avoid spreading this virus, perhaps they should spend more time cleaning glasses and tables than shouting at customers.

No checks on entry and slow service, waiting 20+ mins after finishing one drink before anyone asked if we wanted another.

Great beers, great food and a lovely atmosphere.

The burgers are the best ever. Great pub/restaurant.

Best gourmet burgers in town! Great selection with gluten free options if needed. Also a great selection of beers, gins, cocktails etc. Definitely reserve a table as this place gets busy!

We visited today for a girls day out. We were a group of single mothers from the most deprived area of nuneaton (attleborough). We had saved our benefits for weeks to pay for this treat. We ordered cocktails when they came we nearly fell off of our chairs at the price. The waitress would have seen the surprised look on our faces if it wasn't for the botox we treated ourselves too. £9 each, aimz and shazza were feeeewwwwwwminnnn. £9 and not even a cock to go with their tails. Were hoping for a night out, after visiting here the rest of the evening will have to be spent in the wreck with a few bottles od white lightening, and a special treat for the driver in the taxi home.

Lively and food is good. Nice simple choice menu and great beer selection. Burgers is their main menu choice with vegetarian options available. Funky and simple table layout. Service was good and bar staff and waiters very friendly. Nice addition to town. Covid ready and well laid out. Simplified menu but table service is excellent.

I really rated this place until now! Grumpy looking staff, and slow service to the point we had been sat with our drink for more than half an hour, until we had to ask for somebody to come and take our food order. Beef burgers were very dry, and the table still hadn't been cleared when we left. Help out to eat out but make you pay separately for your drinks and then again for your food, therefore receiving discount on food only. Owner is also rather rude, accusing my son of running around outside on the decking yet he had only left the table once to use the toilet. Steaming Billy is quite fitting really as he also likes to drink whilst working. Very unprofessional!

Great food and great service even in this strange time.

Found some of the staff quite rude

Tasteful de our family friendly. Even better if you have the Billy card

This pub has been refurbished to a high standard there is always a good atmosphere and they do a great range of burgers with a decent selection of real ale. We have been on a few occasions and it is always good, my favourite burger is the portobello stack which is probable one of the best vegetarian burgers one can get anywhere.

Nice surroundings but menu not varied enough .

Always a friendly welcome coupled with great beer and wine

Nice pub with food menu accomadating dietary requirements all good

Awesome quirky atmosphere...absolutely awesome burgers, and family friendly pub feel...

Good food in a friendly pub with great beers.

It's a nice place to eat but my burger was overcooked and very dry which is a shame

Excellent burger and beer pub. Nice friendly staff.

Came here for a quick drink on our way home, served by Amy and Tom, there knowledge of gins was exquisite, so we ended up having a few! Thank guys

It's ok apart from an ignorant male member of the bar staff who chooses to serve who he wants despite people waiting for their turn.

Poor service, cold and very average at best food

booked for 8 people for 1230 today, walked in, no staff anywhere, when the young female staff appeared it was made to feel like they were doing you a favour by serving you, then tried to order some food, nearly an hour later no food, went to ask, no staff apparent again, went to the kitchen hatch as food was sitting waiting to go out, tried a chip, it was warm at best, told the "chef", got a load of abuse and told he had only just put it there, then one of the absent bar staff appeared when the "chef" told her he had been calling for service for 10 minutes?? You used to struggle to get into this place, so understandable now that you can walk in and get a table, especially at this time of year! Don't bother, do yourself a favour and go to Macky D's and get better food ( believe or not!! ) and much cheaper and certainly better customer service!!!

Arrived early evening for food. Pretty empty, didn’t expect to wait too long. 50 minutes later and the food came out pretty cold. Was offered some more chips.

The food here is just wonderful and a good variety too. The staff are really friendly and helpful.

We spent several hours in this pub as a party of 9. We had some food which was good and plenty of drinks. Reasonable prices and friendly

Nice friendly staff, nice food will definitely go again.

Nice atmosphere with all ages eating, drinking and having a good time.

Staff very helpful and very good . price are good .

Great pub with excellent choice of drinks and food. Staff are always welcoming and very friendly!

Tonight we set out to try the new baron pub. But we were luckily turned away because we had a dog. I say luckily as we then set off to find somewhere else to go for dinner that we hadn't tried and came accross your wonderful pub. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcomed us and our fur baby into this gorgeously decorated pub, gave Bella some fuss and provided a fantastic service throughout. Barman had a nice chat to me about the different bears on tap and what's good on the menu. Had a great pint of 5% steaming billy ale that was recommended and a even nicer burger. We also order fully loaded nachos, often being dissapointed by this on many menus, I can honestly say it was incredible! A mountain of cheese, gorgeous pulled pork and nachos underneath. It might just be a slice of heaven in hinckley! Unreal, thank you guys for turning our night round. From nearly going home to leftovers to a rare date night for me and the wife with our fur baby. Will definitely be returning on a regular basis!

The White Bear is a casual pub, with lots of choice of drinks and plenty of burger choices. The prices are decent too. Food tasted good. It's a good place to meet up with friends.

Really good atmosphere, great food and service. We will definitely be back.

Great place for ale and craft beer. Plenty of gins too. Liked the surroundings. Will return.

Lively pub on a Saturday night but poor quality real ale

Very nice experienced staff. Home made burger resterant . Value for money. Gratitudes a little excessive! !

Great place and awesome burgers.

Brilliant beers. Marvelous burgers. Pleasant. Certainly recommend for casual dining

Food was nice and reasonable, nice beer garden and great selection of beers

Burgers made by the chef dan towers are to die for, in family friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend!!!

Great staff, and the burgers are to die for, and Dan Towers has more good ideas in the pipe line, well done buddy

Great food, atmosphere, staff are all lovely and friendly bit over priced but still would recommend.

Good place to enjoy a burger and a drink with friends. Do not expect anything special for dinner, but for the type of meal, it is good. Great garden.

Very nice, warm welcome and good beer thanks x

Good choice of beers. Nice friendly atmosphere great burgers

Excellent food great chefs and very pleasant to eat at such a nice pub/restaurant staff make you feel welcome couldn't fault the place great atmosphere 👍

My partner had a Greek Salad, I had the billy burger. It was all cooked to perfection Dan is a wonderful chef, he makes the place what it is.

Comfy, easy and simple with tasty burgers and a decent range of beer which changes regularly. Amy and Harriet are cool too and are always happy to get you to try the new beers.

Visited the white bear last week for a beer and the atmosphere was amazing as well as the bar staff especially Amelia how was very pleasant and added to the brilliant atmosphere. Will definitely be coming again and recommending it to all my friends and family.

I live locally and it’s genuinely the best pub in the area, made even better by the friendly staff especially Amelia. See you Thursday

It’s Thursday evening & I had been for a meal in hinckley - called in the white bear for a quick drink and was very surprised - great atmosphere & bar staff were very very friendly on arrival - we were served by Kev who was more than helpful telling us about all the different gins they served - very nice person and will be definitely returning after he showed us the food menu - basic but looks fab thanks Kev your a great bar man see you soon 👌👍

I cannot believe how good this meal was!! I ordered a billy burger and the service was amazing!! I think the waitresses name was Amelia? She was so so lovely and polite and asked us if we were okay, but not too much which was nice because it can be too much sometimes!! I would definitely recommend to eat here as it was so friendly and welcoming!! I hope the waitress sees this review because she deserves to know!!
