Steeped in history, the White Bear theatre pub has been on this site since c.1780 serving great beer and ales.
After an impressive refurbishment in 2016, the White Bear’s interior is a stunning example of traditional pub meets modern design with an eclectic collection of artwork and bric-a-brac. On the original wooden bar is a fantastic selection of craft beer, ales and lagers as well as an extensive wine list and collection of spirits and Whisk(e)y. When the sun shines, enjoy your favourite tipple in the beer garden which is also home to three bee hives!
The kitchen is open daily, serving traditional British fare made with seasonal, fresh and locally sourced produce. Free WIFI is available throughout the pub along with a range of Twining’s Teas and Street & Co. Coffee. Located in the heart of Kennington, opposite Kennington Park and a stone's throw from Kennington and Oval tube stations, we look forward to welcoming you at the White Bear.
We went to The White Bear for our work Christmas Lunch and it was lovely (there was around 14 of us)! They provided us with a delicious three course meal, crackers and lots of nice drinks. The table was very comfortable, the food was hot and tasty and the portions were huge! They even gave me a doggy bag to take home when I couldn't finish all my meal. The staff were very welcoming, helpful and kind and booking the pub and organising the pre-orders for each person was easy and stress-free. I would definitely recommend The White Bear for a tasty Christmas lunch for colleagues and friends.
We had the pleasure of an early dinner at the White Bear last night, and it was fantastic. The staff were super friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked through the door. The bar was spacious and airy, with a great selection of drinks, including a lovely pale ale from Two Tribes. Food was excellent - I had the confit duck cassoulet, which was delicious. My family had steaks and the steak and ale pie, declaring them to be the best pie and steaks they had *ever* had. The rump steaks were cooked as requested, and not fatty and chewy as they can be sometimes. Finished off with a well made oat milk latte (don't judge me, I can't drink milk!). 10 out of 10, I'd recommend the White Bear and would return more often if it wasn't on the other side of London from me. Thanks to all the team for a fantastic family meal, and Happy New Year to everyone at the White Bear!
Our first Christmas meal and not our last at the White Bear was fantastic!! The staff were attentive and gracious. The food and choice of drinks were excellent. For a family with a variety of food preferences this is the most logical choice for a Christmas meal. The vegetarians and vegans loved the options. Thank you for a wonderful experience and a stress free Christmas dinner.🥂
I went to The White Bear with my girlfriend for a Sunday Roast, and we both enjoyed it very much. The food was really good, the roasted chicken in particular was delicious, very soft and melty, with a lot of flavour. They have a solid choice of cask beers, and some good kegs as well, plus wine and spirits. I had a very good Sauterne in the end. Additionally, the staff was great, kind and extremely friendly. Just one note, be careful with your orders, because the portions are huge! We'll definitely be back.
Favourite new pub! 🌟 Love the food. Crab and Samphire Sandwich 🥪 excellent, now I'll try to post a photo after my Virgin Mary
