White Bear Public House & Restaurant in North Lincolnshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A lovely beef Sunday dinner, just walked in and got a table ,. I would advise to book , we shall return ..

What a treat to go out for Sunday lunch and to be made so welcome inspite of being coeliac and only tolerating minimal dairy products. I had the turkey dinner which was delicious and plentiful. Matt (the owner/chef) cooked some new potatoes in olive oil with garlic and seasalt (delicious) to avoid the buttered roast potatoes and produced freshly cooked seasonal vegetables and a separate gravy all without dairy. The bit of dairy I did have was the gluten free yorkshire pudding. Matt is coeliac so totally gets it. My husband, who doesn't have any dietary requirements had the roast gammon dinner and also enjoyed his meal. I can thoroughly recommend eating at The White Bear. A big thank you to Matt and all the staff for their kindness today.

Had another fantastic meal tonight. The steaks are divine. Malcolm and Fiona

Booked a table for a Sunday roast after being recommended, didn’t disappoint, the 3 meat roast came and the meat was piled up, great portions and very tasty, pleasant pub with a great atmosphere.

Just had a perfect turkey take away dinner. Everything was exemplary. Well done.

Sunday lunch, nothing special for the price. Had cheaper and better at several places elsewhere.

White Bear never fail to deliver on service. The food is delicious and a trusted pub for gluten free food if you are coeliac. All the staff are lovely and friendly and it is always a pleasant experience. We also enjoy a Sunday lunch take away.

Very nice but pricey£ 6. 60 for 2 botles of cola!! Beers cheaper

Beautiful food, cosy atmosphere, polite and hardworking staff. Would definitely recommend and we will visit again. Thoroughly enjoyed our steaks which were cooked to perfection and flavoursome and the desserts were delicious and sizeable portions.

The food is expensive. This place is on the edge of closing at these prices. Short measure beer mmm

Hi. Had the £22 3-course meal deal. Absolutely delicious. Great value. Great venue. Thanks. See you again soon x

Went to The White Bear for the first time today. We often just get in the car go for a drive and find new places to eat. We were made to feel welcome immediately we hadn’t booked but they said if we can just have a drink at a table and they would sort us one asap The lovely character pub was buzzing with diners and drinkers. Felt like stepping back in time Quirky rooms slanting floors and walls it’s just delightful We were seated at the dining table within 15 minutes and promptly ordered our food We both had roasts I had turkey my husband have beef. Everything was hot and delicious beautiful gravy the most delicious roast potatoes literally could not fault it. Vegetables served in a dish on the side lovely and hot carrots had a little bite to them well seasoned white cabbage and broccoli Minor critique £5 charge for cauliflower cheese which was ok but lacked cheese sauce it was as if cheese had just been melted on the top. My husband had the crème brûlée for desert which was absolutely beautiful They can do nothing about this but purely for information the car park is tiny so we parked just up the road and it wasn’t a p We will definitely be back Lovely service lovely venue

Only went here for the tomahawk steak…I wasn’t disappointed. This was cooked to perfection. I made the mistake of having a starter and finishing my missus as well, only to be served a gigantic meal. Hats off to the chef, personally came to ask how I would like my steak cooked. Will be returning with friends and family.

First time here, the Duck was cooked beautifully, the service was brilliant., if I am in the area again will visit.

Absolutely beautiful pub, looked amazing in and out. Staff were very polite and accommodating. The food, wow!! Hats off to the chef, it was superb. Thank you. Highly recommended x

We went for a meal to the pub and it was very very cold inside and staff was very unfriendly! Food was very expensive and not very good! Certainly we would not recommend!

Disappointed with the whole evening the burgers were dry when your paying £23 pounds you do expect it to be decent. The pub was also freezing. And we all felt as if the staff were wanting an early night didn't feel comfortable sorry to say.

Fab steak great customer service. Lots of love Banjo xx Great lunch as always. Service is great and all staff are very welcoming. Highly recommend. 😊

I've been to this pub several times and then try a Sunday lunch elsewhere, but nowhere compares to The White Bear Sunday roast. The portions are huge, the meat is tender just the best Sunday lunch in this area. Value for money and home cooked, it's an absolute bargain for the price. The staff are so lovely too. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. 😁

Staff are excellent, it has a friendly traditional pub vibe. Food was quality and we would highly recommend a visit

Nice place will be back to try the food ,small car park

Locals in pub so friendly an funny so so brilliant

Fantastic service and food. Thank you. I will be back.

Excellent food and hospitality as always. We regularly have Sunday lunch here and it is always tasty, good quality & well cooked and presented. Also enjoy the delicious puddings and good coffee to follow. Staff are friendly & always help to make the occasion enjoyable. Lovely family atmosphere & good value for money. Can highly recommend.

A Little gem of a place And of character Recommend. If your in the area Give it a go 😊

I come here every so often with family, the food is better than any other place I've been to.

Visited The White Bear on Saturday evening. The staff were very friendly and were happy to accommodate the 5 of us and two dogs. Gave advice on places to visit. The food was excellent too. Will visit again next time we are in the area.

Away for the weekend with friends, went for an evening meal. Food was amazing, Friendly staff and great service . Allow dogs in and our 2 , Oscar and Willow were made a fuss of . All round great place ,highly recommend

90th Birthday lunch celebration

Wonderful freshly cooked wholesome food. Great beer Taylors Boltmaker. Very dog friendly even to GS dogs! Great service all round.

Very nice beer restaurant! Very large portions of food and flavors! Very nice sweets and very large portions Comfortable parking

Considering the current struggle for businesses at the moment, I expected better service, especially considering we were the only 4 people in there, also spending a good amount of money. I thought it was general knowledge to politely ask a customer to stop or to leave if they’re doing something you don’t like or allow. Clearly not. According to the owner it is appropriate to threaten them and proceed to throw insults at them. Although I had been warned by a couple of people prior to going that the owner was rude, I didn’t let this effect my decision to go, however, the owner certainly proved them right. We couldn’t have been anymore polite and understanding, so in no way did we deserve this sort of disrespect. Wouldn’t recommend.

The manager or owner or whoever runs this place should be absolutely ashamed of themselves!!! Spoke to myself and my friends like dirt on the bottom of her shoe just because one of them couldn’t afford to eat there and so brought a meal deal to sit and eat in the beer garden with her drinks. Had the owner come out and been polite about this from the get go it wouldn’t have been an issue and there would have been understanding there- however the lack of customer service skills was appalling, she came outside and just completely started on us being extremely cocky and snarky towards the three of us which I think was unwarranted considering we payed the extortionate prices of the drinks there and would argue deserved more respect than that. Afterwards my friend went inside just to clear the air with the manager and was completely shut down and spoken to like absolute rubbish- calling her a little girl. I found that to be quite condescending as although we are only a group of young girls we were more than respectful and I even payed £7 for some cheesy chips as it’s all I could afford. I just found the service to be disgraceful and you certainly will not be getting mine, or anyone I knows business again.

Went for a special occasion, food was fantastic and service was excellent, couldn’t recommend more. Worth every penny.

Had many Sunday lunches. It is excellent.

Lovely atmosphere,, very nice pub inside and our,. Great sunny outside space. Our wedding anniversary, very clever cheesecake with writing presented to us last min. Com

Absolutely brilliant lunch, tapas was great with a great bottle of wine, good but not too expensive, congratulations, no criticism at all, thank you.

our first visit to this gorgeous place today. fantastic decor throughout (even the ladies loo 😊) warm, friendly attentive staff. great choice on menu we both had the steak pie which was top notch. we will be back 😊👍

Always good pub food. Quiet on a weekday so relative and I were able to chat and have a catch up. Caters well for members of my family who are vegetarian vegan gluten and dairy free which is not always possible in some.

Went for Mother's day lunch. It appeared that the beef, gammon and turkey had been purchased pre cooked and vacuum packed, ready for slicing (or even cooked, sliced and vacuum packed owing to the consistency of the slices and lack of roasted taste). The potatoes were also tasted that they had been purchased ready cooked and vacuum packed, ready for browning in a deep fat fryer. The vegetables by there preparation appeared also vacuum packed. The only item homemade was the Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Such a shame, but with pubs struggling to find trained chefs: boil in the bag and the microwave seems the order of the day. I challenge the White Bear to state otherwise and look forward to their comments.

lovely food , very polite staff, definitely will go again.

Very beautiful place, very nice place to have a beer, also the food is good.

Yet another faultless delicious Sunday dinner! Piping hot fresh meat and veg. Absolutely love visiting and always made so welcome by wonderful staff. Had the double of beef and turkey with a pint of ipa,closely followed by glass of Malbec. Sensational!!

Had a most amazing Sunday lunch, plenty of choice, excellent quality food, great service. This was our second visit, and look forward to more. We'll worth the money.

Food fantastic. Staff is really friendly

We booked a table at the The White Bear for lunch today! (New Years Day) The food was so good. We all had the roast. The meat was so tender. I had beef and turkey and it was plentiful. Lovely veg cooked perfectly, not soggy and not too hard, just right. The portions were really large and lots of veg. Couldn't fault it at all. Thank you 😀

Staff extremely helpful and polite Food excellent Clean and lovely atmosphere Will be returning

Excellent meals and great value.

Great pub in the village. The food is amazing. One of my favourite places to have pint and grub. The rack ribs are huge and one of the best items on the menu. Along with any of the steaks.

Arrived at the white bear to a warm, festive atmosphere, the pub it decorated beautifully for the Christmas season. The food did not disappoint, reading other reviews some people have said it’s pricey, I feel the portions sizes were most generous the food was pipping hot, the presentation was excellent, you may be able to get a Sunday dinner cheaper but in my opinion you pay for what you get. We were made to feel very welcome the staff were very attentive although the pub was very busy we were well looked after. Would highly recommend.

Lovely Sunday dinner here with family, large portions/ value for money and nice bitter on draft.

Food and staff are excellent. The portions are wonderfully large. Great pub

Well you have heard the saying "you can't beat your mum's Sunday dinners" well they did😳. A lovely warm welcome, excellent service and top class food. Nice to see such willingness to provide high end service, thank you

You have heard the saying" you can't beat your mum's Sunday dinners " well they just did 😊 absolutely fantastic. Thank you for your warm welcome, excellent service and top quality food.

Food was fantastic. Recommend the 3 sliders. Guinness was poured brilliantly too.

We pre booked a table,but you would of thought so ,we was sat right next to the bar on a small table ,the food was average ,when the staff asked how was your food I said the table was the problem ,whilst trying to eat our food I was knocked in the back several times by the staffs order bag ,and my chair kicked by people passing but the worst was when people came in because we was sat next to the bookings diary ,I practically had customers coats in my food ,she replied ( nowt we can do about that ) I said there is remove the table , and before you think I'm a moaner I go for Sunday lunches every week ,and never complained before , disappointed ,

Visited for the first time today with my Husband & Mum and certainly wasn’t disappointed. The Staff are lovely, cheerful and seem happy in their Work which is hard to find these days. The Food is excellent, very generous portions with plenty of choice on...

Delicious food and beer and fantastic service, an entire vegan menu that was also delicious. I'd give it 5 stars in a heartbeat but it's quite pricey

Great food, very friendly staff, nice atmosphere, well recommended

Same Sunday dinner every week not enough mear choices..and the beef was like waffa thin and normally it was nice n thick slices ..we like liked coming there..but its a shame we won't be coming again..

Very comfortable beer garden with good table service

Top service here - perhaps the best in Epworth, and for me that makes the prime difference: You are always welcome and looked after. The menu is good and shows more creativity attempts than many on the Isle; I'd say go further. Prices are not...

Forgot to review this when we last came in April. Been two times since to the White bear and have to say I haven't had a bad meal yet. The sandwiches and soup menu for lunch is great. Last time I was there I had...

Fantastic service and wonderful food

Lunch menu was great and the food excellent but the main menu was pricey! Nice inside and would visit again Dog friendly too

I ordered sirloin and it was awful. The steak was very grisly and not nice to eat at all. Would not recommend over priced and poor quality

Great place to eat food amazing

Had a nice mixed grill .Mrs had kebab hanger bbq chicken . And step daughter had kids nuggets and chips cannot knock the food was banging . Just the prices .never seen a mixed grill priced at £30 as most have commented about the prices. Very nice pub food go and decide for yourselves is the best idea .

Went for Sunday dinner it was lovely cheesecake to die for was made very welcome and would just like to thank staff who looked after me after I had a fall on way to pub ice pack was much appreciated sprained ankle and a few bruises but okay Thankyou once again will be back .

Staff were very helpfull and friendly. The food was also very nice.

Great food and friendly staff...however... The prices are insane. Way way way over priced for what you get. I would have been happy to give 4 stars if it was not for the insane prices that left me feeling a little bit like I'd been mugged

The pub looked lovely and the staff was nice but unfortunately the food is overpriced for what it is so won't be returning

Had Sunday dinner there and it was one of the best I've had

Fantastic night out, superb music great atmosphere. 👍

Table service only, but the waiting staff are very attentive and your glass isn't empty for long. Food was delicious and portions were more than generous. Will definitely return

There were 3 of us and we ordered the Bear burger and home cooked lamb burger. The burgers were tough and tasteless, the chips soft and oily, the relish also tasteless. I really struggled to eat mine. With 2 glasses of wine the bill came to £72.50. I came away feeling pretty fed up. It is difficult to explain the price for such a very disappointing food experience.

Our second visit and can highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for excellent quality home cooked food. Absolutely worth every penny, all food is amazing with friendly attentive service. Well done guys! 😊

Good food but very overpriced and very limited wine menu of 3 whites and 2 reds! I've never paid £30 for a stroganoff with sides!

Just gets better….. been eating here for many years and the quality of the meals and service just keeps on getting better. Arguably there are cheaper local places to go to but it’s all down to great staff,quality and quantity and that’s where the Bear...

Love this place. Excellent food and atmosphere. Delicious Sunday roast and excellent value for money.

Decided to try the white Bear and can honestly say we were not disappointed,from start to finish it was excellent the Sunday roast which I had two roast was amazing especially the roast potatoes which were the best;I did make sure I left room for dessert I had lemon meringue roulade my favourite my sister had chocolate fudge cake which also looked delicious.the service was also excellent can honestly say we couldn't fault anything it was well worth the drive there.

The best steak and cheesecake I've ever had.. absolutely outstanding meal,all credit to the chef!

Good food, good sized portion, nice atmosphere. If a little on the spendy side. Cheap and cheerful it is not but well worth a visit if you have a bit of spare change. 2 of us ate and had a couple of drinks for 50quid.

Great Pub for food, or just a drink or two, always made to feel very welcome. Beer garden is good as well.

Went here on our first night on holiday, had a chilled out drink with some sharing platters to nibble on , staff were really nice and chatted away with you . Would go back

Great atmosphere and staff, food was delish. Alrhpught it was expensive, it was worth it for a treat :)

Excellent all round, food, service and environment. Will certainly come again.

Lovely Sunday evening meal with friends. Great menu, lots of choice and good value. Lovely, well decorated and comfortable.

What a fantastic night at the white bear. The staff are just fantastic. Special mentions to Lucy,hannah and Pauline. A very rare treat when the whole family can be together. Beautiful meals that never let you down.

Had lovely lunch today. Nice home cooked food and very polite staff. Will be returning. Thank you 😊

Lovely young waitress with blonde hair served us, she was really lovely, good knowledge and excellent customer service

Perfect birthday lunch great menu and love that they have a good selection of non alcoholic drinks I would highly recommend the elderflower cooler and continental platter, friendly helpful staff, lovely relaxed outdoor space.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice place but they have much to learn when it comes to beef steak...

Had a visit here for my birthday lunch. Amazing food. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Definitely be back. Well worth a visit

Enjoyed a lovely meal with family . Would recommend the burger or the salmon .

Really nice place with pleasant staff, food was really good, it's not the cheapest place but the quality is very good and portions are generous so it's worth that bit extra, definitely worth visiting!

Awful experience, staff were rude - one in particular! Food - average, service - poor! Was told ‘I’d be better booking somewhere else’ Even though the government has stated that 2 households (regardless of size) can dine out together, this establishment have taken it upon...

Lovely place, great staff, food is scrumptious if a little pricey. Would definitely return.

Good dining, various price options. Good social distancing

Lovely place, great friendly staff and fantastic food.
