Christmas Events

It’s that bottle-popping time of year. And you don’t need a reason to pop into your favourite Tunbridge Wells pub. But, with awesome DJs, festive feasting and an epic New Year’s Eve party, you’re going to have a calendar packed with unmissable Christmas events.

What's On

Christmas Day at The White Bear

Spend Christmas Day at our uber-cosy pub in the heart of Tunbridge Wells. Expect the warmest welcome, a mouth-watering 3-course Christmas feast, and a whole host of celebratory Christmas tipples.

Or, if you’ve got Christmas Day feasting sorted (well done you), swing by for a drink and raise a toast before heading home for carving and figgy pudding flambéing duties.

Happy Customers...

We visited the White Bear for a family meal. The food was great and everyone enjoyed their meal. It was busy and buzzing - with music too.Lots of selection on the menu.Great place for a celebration.

Fay

We have just finished our (belated) work Christmas Meal at The White Bear. The food was excellent and the service by Connor and his team was fantastic. We were a party of 20, so had pre-booked. It was easy to organise and the whole team there were extremely helpful.

Bec

We had an amazing experience as a table of four on Christmas day. The food and service were both exceptional, such a lot of food for the price. The atmosphere in the whole pub was great and we had a wonderful time.
