Fine roasts. lovely veg-never over cooked-all beautifully served. The staff are all friendly and ready to make any adjustments required to make your meal perfect.(e.g. extra gravy!) Starters are imaginative and puds, if you can manage one, excellent.Good selection of wine. A good meal nicely served in a friendly atmosphere. Just not sure how they do it at the price.

Great to find a privately owned pub, nothing was too much trouble, extremely friendly, the landlord came over to see if we were all OK. A lively pub, excellent food and a superb choice of real ales, all at very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back.

A real personal and homely pub with a great customer service. I had a steak that was cooked to perfection as requested and great home made... More

Nice country pub. Parking is on street. Proper pub food and proper cask ale available all at a reasonable price. Staff and landlord are friendly and happy to chat. Not the biggest venue so probably more suited to couples or small groups. Does what it says on the tin.

We went to the White Bear Inn, Stillington, for a quiet night out during early October. We both had a superb evening but it was far from quiet. The pub was bustling, yet it was easy to get a table to sit. The locals went out of their way to draw us into the conversation and far from ignored us.... More

A group of us were staying in Stillington for a week for a friends birthday and popped into the pub a few times. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and very helpful! Food was good and good value for money.

I visited the pub on Sunday 9 September on the way to a very long walk to some lakes nearby. The welcome was fantastic from the staff who showed us to our table. The pub staff were very friendly to us when they were taking our order. I ordered a cup of tea which came very well presented. For the... More
