Nestled in the heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells, just a short stroll from the train station, boutique shops and a stones throw from the famous Pantiles, the White Bear is a charming place to pop in with family and friends.

Buzzing Saturday Night

We went for a family Sunday lunch and we all were blown away by the quality of food, the atmosphere and the decor. Between us we tried the beef, pork and lamb. All of our plates were left empty and every part of the dish was tasty from the meat to the cabbage, carrots and roast potatoes.
