We are regulars so know the quality of food and service which is why we visit again and again . This occasion food was 40 mins late with no explanation When we asked they said they thought we were having drinks so held the food back Once we said we wanted the food it took an additional 10 mins The bill 
 they charged us for an extra Guiness and a ‘drink, ‘. We questioned the manager said it may be coke or lemonade. we pointed out that we didn’t have any soft drinks only soda water . Which was a small glass with no ice or slice , they had charged £2.60 Once questioned they said the staff made a mistake and took it off along with the extra Guiness Overall food is good but service is slack and always check your bills . This has happened a couple of times and if you don’t notice you end up paying for an extra item 
. Very wrong The staff rather sit on phones trying the bar than serve and you have to ask again and again for drinks food etc

An early Monday evening yet the dining area was crowded, a good sign to start. Efficiently brought drinks and menus, and ordered. Relatively quick response with mains, and then the surprise. Portions were large, one rice did two of us, though we are not great rice eaters. The lamb was superb, falling to pieces when using a fork, and melting in the mouth. The spice level was just as my wife-who cannot take any heat at all- wanted, mild but not bland, very enjoyable. The meal, we both agreed, was the best curry we had had out in England for years. If we didn't live so far away we would visit regularly. Well done all the staff for a memorable meal

Nepalese restaurant in the pub. We have been here a couple of times and it never disappoints. Great food, the service is excellent and it’s clean. It’s also in the pub and the atmosphere is nice. They are very friendly. Would we return, of course.

The pictures on google must be out of date as they do not do a Sunday roast as the pictures would suggest. Its a curry house. The food was ok, I asked for a chicken tikka in a sauce but the chef put plain chicken but I spotted it and asked for the menu to be adjusted accordingly. The staff were pleasant and nice but I really wanted a Sunday Roast.

I have used and recommended this place for years but gradually they have become less and less friendly to dogs owners, even if only collecting a take away. Today I was banned from collecting a take away in future unless I waited outside or arranged a delivery. We live 200m along the road! Rubbish, I will not use them again.

I wasn’t sure what we were coming to, was it a pub or an Indian restaurant. Well, it was kinda both! All the beers a pub would serve and some very tasty Indian food! We enjoyed the meal and everyone agreed their food was good 👍 My only criticisms were, the random drunk who decided to chat to our table. Seemed to be a regular and knew the staff, the staff did nothing to encourage him away from us. Also, the no dog policy happily broken by another regular who bought his in. And the blocked toilet which had been filled with paper (as the toilet had no bin) meaning the toilet could not be used. Just a few small things that took the shine off

The White Bear had been recommended to us by a friend who said the food was amazing. We had wanted to visit for some time so finally on Friday 22nd July we actually managed to get there to try the food ourselves. We went as a family, the food was amazing & piping hot. Service for food & drink was excellent & the staff were very friendly too, the manager at the end of the night even bought the whole table a drink of our choice. We will definitely be going back for sure.

We were staying a couple of nights to attend a wedding, and on the first night we booked a table here as we thought everywhere would be busy due to the Jubilee weekend. We ordered poppadoms which arrived almost immediately. My husband had dhansak and I had the chicken tikka which was delicious. The portion sizes were good, the food was hot and it was very tasty. The staff were friendly and attentive. One very small point.... the plates were cleared while my husband was still chewing his last mouthful of food, so perhaps wait a few minutes before clearing the table? We had desert (apple crumble and a tub of ice cream) and it was all very nice. A really nice meal, friendly staff and good service and the food arrived quickly and we were kept topped up with drinks. We would certainly eat here again if ever we came back to Rickmansworth.

Popped in for a spot of food with friend as its close to our hotel, probably up there with the worst service and food I've had when eating out. Ordered poppadoms and dips and lamb chops ,onion bahji and a tika massala. The food was very salty, the dips never arrived for the poppadoms and no one thought to ask if the food was OK or why they hadn't been touched. Coke was pretty flavourless but I needed something to wash the salt away. Not great value and 10% put on bill for the service which we didn't receive. Paid the bill and won't go back!

In the past I wouldn't hesitate recommending anyone I know to go there but recently, and I know these are challenging times for all businesses, there's no way I would anymore. The militant way they go about interpreting the rules (in they're favour) is not a welcoming environment. They are making everyone feel uncomfortable by making them order a meal straight away before a drink is unlike any other pub I've experienced since the end of the 2nd lock down. They've increased they're prices and it smacks of taking advantage of the current situation. It's a real shame.

Five of us went for lunch at the White Bear on New Years Day. We had booked in advance as we thought it would be busy - and it was. We were shown to a nice table by a window and were given our menus -although we had never been before, we know that it was Indian food. We place our order, and had a drink and after a reasonable wait, our food arrived. It was absolutely delicious and the portions were very generous. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout, and made sure our drinks were replenished as required. We struggled to finish the food as there was so much, and so one of my friends asked for a takeaway box so that he could tuck in later, which wasn’t a problem. We got the bill and the price was very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this place. My only regret? Having lived in Croxley for over 25 years, I wish we had discovered this place sooner - we will definitely return!

We arrived just before 2.30pm, the cut off for food. Staff were hesitant about taking our restaurant order as they were barely able to cope with a sudden influx of people. Some sympathy there but...Payment for food was demanded up front. One staff member was pleasant, the others shambling, poorly trained and indifferent. The second worst aspect about our experience was the 45 minute wait for food and the worst was that the food made us all feel ill. Better stay at home or go elsewhere. A terrible waste of a bank holiday otherwise.

On a previous visit to this pub, we had been surprised to read that the menus included food cooked by a Nepalese chef, so we decided to give it a try when we returned. We were not disappointed as it was an excellent decision.. There was the usual range of foods you associate with an Indian menu, but with the addition of various Himalayan sauces.We had lamb dishes and the meat was tender and the sauces enjoyable. The service was good and the prices fair. This was a good idea for Green King to try some variety in their pubs and we hope it goes well.

We both tried different things on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Overall the service was good the the venue was pleasant. However, the food was terrible.The curry looked as though each dish was made with the same tomato sauce and had the same incipid smell. Curry cook in sauce, nice if you like that kind of thing, which obviously from the rave reviews is most people. The Roast Beef looked wonderful but honestly it had all the flavours extracted from it and was quite the worst Sunday lunch I have had in years. All the bits were right but it had been cooked by someone who has actually never tried English food. The roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were frozen and the vegetables had all been boiled together with the parsnips. The beef was two slices of frying steak and not slices from a roasted joint. Our dog Tilly enjoyed one of these as I could not eat it - and I normally eat everything.

We were driving through Rickmansworth on Sunday looking for somewhere to have lunch and saw the White Bear and assumed we'd get a traditional roast.We were seated in a lovely table in the window and given the menu which was Nepalese. There was a sign on the bar advertising a Sunday Roast too. We thought that if the pub specialised in Nepalese food we'd be better off choosing that - and how please we were!We ordered a nan, pilau rice, chicken wings, vegetable curry and lamb with fresh spinach and in the time it took for us to order and the food then arriving, we saw food being delivered to a nearby table and it looked and smelt amazing so we were really looking forward to ours.We certainly weren't disappointed - we enjoyed everything we'd ordered and will definitely return to the White Bear and try out some other Nepalese dishes too.

my second visit in a week and I will now be a regular, first visit last Friday was just to look but after perusing the menu decided to give it a try, great decision, really lovely food, good service and very attentive staff, second visit yesterday for lunch this time as dinner was the first and equally good, going again this Thursday, with friends, I highly recommend.

This pub serves really good Indian/Nepalese food. We love the lamb chops, chicken wings, garlic and chilli mogo and paneer tikka. Even if something is not on the menu they will try their best to make it. Arun is great and you always get service with a smile. We are known on a first name basis because we have been back so many times. A great local place to eat with authentic food.

I've always loved the White Bear! The food is to die for, really flavorful and always cooked to perfection. Always a warm friendly atmosphere & made to feel welcome as soon as I walk through the door. Highly recommend for curry lovers!

The food here is above average and I would go again. However, we were subjected to Mr. I'mBetterThanThis, our waiter. We all felt that he was the son of the owner (although this was never authenticated), and his attitude was the cloud over an ootherwise very pleasant evening. No pleasantries, just a distant, I shouldn't have to serve attitude. Please, if you do not want to be part of your owner's/father's success,then leave, and make your own success......if you can!

Fresh vegetables - carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, parsnip, roast potatoes - and yummy Yorkshire puddings as well! Choice of meats. Warm and friendly environment. Family atmosphere. Great for watching the football too.

We dropped in here for a late lunch as when we passed by , en route to the restaurant we'd planned to go to, we saw they advertised Nepalese food which we'd not tried before.The outside made us a little wary, its at the junction of a busy road and looks a bit old & rundown, but the inside was comfortable and clean, and car park was easily accessible.Your order is taken at the table rather than the bar.The service was efficient but wasn't obtrusive and you didnt feel rushed.There was just two of us - We had the special mixed grill, green chicken,1x rice & 2x poppadoms 1xnan and struggled to eat it all. It was all well cooked, and we'd never eaten meat so tender - delicious! We'll definitely be back.

After several far too hot to eat Indian meals in other restaurants, my wife was put off from trying Indian food again but was finally persuaded to give the food at the White-bear a try.What a great meal we had. She went and booked her birthday meal there and I will be having mine there too. The food is spicy but not too hot and delicious.I can highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. The staff are friendly and helpful without being overbearing.

I found all the dishes we ordered very tasty they were freshly made with authentic ingredients and no powdery taste. Excellent service too. Ordered some more to take away and will be going back to try more dishes. They also serve English food

After listening to my boyfriend go on and on about how good the food is here, I insisted that he bring me for a pre holiday dinner - and I was not disappointed. This was genuinely the best Indian food I have ever had! There is a great selection of dishes and all very reasonably priced. The food was full of flavor and served promptly. The staff were great and very attentive and we were not made to feel rushed or anything. Despite the fact that the restaurant was full, the service was not affected. Would definitely recommend for anyone who loves a good curry!!!

My boyfriend and I come here regularly and love it! The staff are really friendly and attentive. The menu is huge with a really good variety, including a lot of vegetarian options. The food is really tasty and fresh every time ( my favourites are the lamb dishes) Tonight we decided to get a takeaway, as always it met our high expectations of the place. When our friends come to visit we always take them here and they are always impressed. By far the best curry in Ricky!

This has got to be the worse ever food we have ordered!! I can't even call it a curry!! We ordered a take away based on the raving reviews. I am extremely puzzled who these people are that are writing these review!! The samosa first of all was clearly bought and not made! They were perfectly shaped and made with cheap filo pastry unlike when hand made the pastry is crumbly and crispy. The curry if you can even call it that was just a tomato sauce loaded with tomato purée and not cooked through and no trace of curry! If there was they must have just sprinkled in the dry powder like salt?! We ordered 2 different curries but they all tasted the same?! I am seriously worried about anyone's palate that considers this good food let alone a curry! Save your money and go elsewhere! If there was a zero score I would have scored that!

My Dad's boss suggested that we go here for a late lunch/early dinner on a Sunday. There was 10 of us and we ate a lot of different dishes, starters and mains. The food was really good and the service by the bald man with the glasses was great. We had a few issues with the bill and he rectified them without a question. Being very picky... they should have brought out the poppadoms earlier, they brought them just before the starters came. Also I ordered one of the pork dishes (can't remember which one) out of curiosity as I've never had an indian pork dish before and I wouldn't recommend the dish as it was very chewy with no flavour.

We went here for Sunday lunch (you MUST book, it's soooo busy!) and it was one of the best roast dinners I have had in a long time. I felt like I am in a restaurant when we were offered a table service. Excellent place for footie. Kids will love it. Highly recommended.
