Guide To White Bear

The White Bear, believed to be the oldest pub in Whitchurch, dates back to around 1650 and is proudly located at 10 High Street. It is a cherished remnant of the town's coaching inn heritage. This historic establishment has garnered widespread acclaim.

The pub offers patrons a diverse experience with thoughtfully designed spaces, including a covered front courtyard for street-side relaxation and an expansive beer garden at the back, which features a vibrant outdoor Tiki Bar—ideal for summer gatherings and occasional music festivals. Visitors appreciate the White Bear’s commitment to quality British pub cuisine, which is available seven days a week.

This combination of historic charm, quality offerings, and versatile spaces has established the White Bear as an enduring cornerstone of Whitchurch’s social scene, beloved by both locals and visitors.
