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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!!

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!

Lovely pub with the right vibes and atmosphere :) Staff have always been very friendly & helpful. The new Manager has done some great things with this place and it's only going upwards :) The pub is quite big so great for us as I usually come down with a big group of friends and we'll always find some spare seating. It's got darts and a pool table which is great. The quiz nights are really fun too, couldn't recommend this place enough!

The Rose Lounge was a total rip off - I paid £184 for a small festive afternoon tea for two, which is extortionate for what it was. This didn't even include any alcohol! The savoury course was tiny only 1 sandwich and 3 bitesize bits, the scones were two bites - for £92 per person (inc. service charge) I would expect full size scones. The cakes looked nice, but weren't for me, unpleasant flavours, but I appreciate this is personal preference. It was nice enough, the staff were friendly and the venue/atmosphere was pleasant. The cello player was a nice touch, but he only seemed to know 5 songs so it became very repetitive. There any so many other places for afternoon tea in London that I would recommend over and above here.

We visited straight after spending the day at the zoo. I had scouted this place out beforehand as its just down the road.from the zoo and ideal for an evening meal before our drive home. The restaurant is spacious with great decor and a modern vibe. The menu was outstanding with a good variety for all interets as well as a decent kids menu. We opted for the seafood platter sharer, which for the price I wast sure would be very good however I was proved wrong. The quality was exceptional and far better than seafood platters I've had near the sea for twice the price. If you're visiting the zoo this place definitely worth a visit. Great quality, reasonable price and a stones throw from the zoo.
