Pros: Fantastic food, especially the Sunday roast, beautiful outside terrace area, great atmosphere. Cons: Poor service (staff unaware of menu, food missing from order, being completely ignored when trying to order drinks at the bar).

First time here whilst visiting Tunbridge Wells, it was the nicer pubs on the high street that we compared.
For Sunday lunch we arrived early to get space for traditional roast - good thing too, as within 20mins the restaurant was packed. Recommend the pork belly roast if you're not a fan of beef. The roast portion size was smaller than what we're used to but it did not disappoint, there was just enough space for a shared dessert.
Staff were lovely, tried their best to stay attentive even though it looked like they were short staffed, at least in our section. They worked really fast and kept all tables clean and tidy, hats off to them.
The decor was main reason for choosing this spot, we spotted the beautiful furniture from outside, made it very cosy. We couldn't hear any background music but it helped keep it relaxed and quiet.
Overall,
☆ Service: 4/5
☆ Food: 3/5
☆ Hygiene: 4/5
☆ Ambience: 3.5/5
☆ Decor: 5/5

A meal which was fine. The fish needed more seasoning. Wine was well priced for what we had. Music volume was good for a pub on a Friday night to enjoy a dinner with friends (when you reach that age).

We had a very nice meal here over the weekend, we have never been here before. The staff are very friendly and helpful , it was nice to see some very well-behaved dogs that are allowed in the area we had our meal

Place looks amazing , really nice atmosphere.
But the most important food is really good flavour as well as presentation.
Good service nothing was to much to ask .
Definitely we will visit again ☺️

The White Bear is a stylish Young's pub in the heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent. It's a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, and its food menu has something to offer everyone.
Overall, I've impressed with the food at the White Bear. The dishes are well-prepared and made with fresh, good-quality ingredients. The menu is also varied, so there's something to suit everyone's taste.

Best Sunday Roast in Tunbridge Wells I have had so far!
Tunbridge Wells has a lot on offer for Sunday roasts and I am working my way through them.
The chicken although a little dry was excused due to the gravy being scrumptious. Good portion size and selection of veg which is sometimes a disappointment, but these guys nailed it.
Service was ok, our waitress was lovely but it seemed under staffed.
Atmosphere was calm and chilled for a Sunday and kid friendly.

Served by Henry C, charming, helpful and friendly guy. One dessert was late arriving and he was quick to notice and came to explain. Lucy P also waited on our table and was warm friendly and polite, both are brilliant front of house staff.
The food was amazing and so tasty. Highly recommend the roast dinner, just add apple sauce to the pork and you have nailed it.
Even though the dining area is large, it had a friendly atmosphere and not too noisy.

What a great place. Really good service and fantastic food. Only negative was paying. Service charge is already added to the bill, 12.5%, but happy to pay. When given the card machine it was asking for a tip to be added. Got the impression this wasn’t a mistake.

We stopped after a long walk. Staff were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is cosy and stylish with lots of natural light. Food was pub food. We had the fish and chips and burger. The burger was a bit too close to a fast food for my liking. Dog friendly. Will be back.
