White Bear Inn, 41 High St, Idle, Bradford BD10 8QA

About This Pub

Ah, the White Bear Inn, what a lovely spot it is – I can just picture settling in for a pint with mates on a quiet evening. From what I've gathered, it's got that classic British pub feel that's all about straightforward enjoyment, without any flashy nonsense. The staff really shine through in the reviews; they're described as super friendly and efficient, which always makes a big difference when you're kicking back with a drink. That beer garden sounds like a winner too, ideal for soaking up the sun with a cold one in hand, and they've got a good mix of beers to choose from, including some local gems. Plus, the grub options, like that mobile pizzeria, add a nice touch for when you're peckish. On the downside, it does get mobbed on the odd sunny day, so you might end up jostling for space, and the operating hours listed are a bit all over the place, which could catch you out. Still, with such high praise for the atmosphere and service, it's well worth a visit if you're after a genuine, unpretentious pub experience in Bradford – just keep an eye on the weather!

Nice little pub with a great beer garden, if it's sunny we'll always come here to sit outside. Staff are really friendly.

A proper pub that hasn't changed in many many years and is all the better for it. No gimmicks or karaoke nights , simply a place for conversation and good beer. The outdoor seating is plentiful but on can be very busy on the odd hot sunny day that we get. Plus there is now a mobile handmade pizzeria at the side of tad beer garden. So that's good beer , seating & food covered.... nothing else required. Enjoy.
