Description

The White Bear Pub offers a lively yet noisy atmosphere, making it a polarizing choice for diners. While some patrons appreciate the affordable menu featuring Indian dishes and the occasional live music events, others express concerns over cleanliness and service. The food quality varies, with reports of both frozen items and satisfying Goan specialties prepared by a skilled chef. The establishment is best known for its social scene, appealing to a younger crowd. However, issues like rudeness from staff and a less-than-pleasant environment have left some questioning the overall experience, especially for those expecting a restaurant vibe.

There is nothing particularly noteworthy about this place, and the disco on Fridays and Saturdays only seems to draw local men.

The food at this restaurant is remarkably great for the price you pay. The chef is Goan, so I tried his specialty curry and as someone who loves curry, I was very satisfied and left with a full stomach.

I have never experienced a hostel as terrible as this one. The restaurant attached to it is also disappointing. It seems that the same owner and staff responsible for cleaning and customer service are also in charge of the food, and it's not up to par.

Our newly formed West London Club had its opening Social Event on Saturday 27, May, 2017, at the White Bear Pub Hounslow. We aim to have Live Music Bands and DJ 's on a regular basis, in suitable Venues. Mainly (but not restricted to) Goan Anglo Indian Bands playing music from 1960 's onwards to current chart hits. We had a 5 piece Live Band, Latin Dance Show and around 50 persons attended, including a few friendly local regulars, for whom the pub is their second home. Mags (the manager) and her team Lauren and Shani looked after us extremely well and helped make the party a great success. Anthony (Goan Sous chef) cooked tasty authentic Goan traditional dishes Chicken Cafreal and Pork Vindaloo, served with spicy Pilau rice or Tandoori naan. Eddy (in house Security), not only took care of Security, but also helped promote our Event. Our party guests have given us very positive feedback about the Venue, Food and overall ambience. Please note that there exists a TripAdvisor review page for Heathrow Hostel , which is located in the same building on the first floor. The existing reviews cover the Heathrow Hostel aspect only. As an organizer for the West London Club Social Event, I felt that the Heathrow Hostel and White Bear Pub and Restaurant should be two separate listings as they cater to two different set of Client types and have separate entrances. The two Businesses run independently of each other and can be segregated. Hence, I requested a separate listing for the White Bear Pub and Restaurant Hounslow and am very glad that TripAdvisor have obliged. Also,the White Bear Pub and Restaurant Area can be sub divided each with its own set of Ladies and Gents Toilets and own Bar too. Hence, for our Club Opening Social Night, we had exclusive access to our part of the Pub, which was looked after by In house Security staff member Eddy. The Menu is the usual Indian Restaurant dishes. We ordered traditional Goan Dishes, that are not on the Menu, since they have a Goan Sous chef. Please note, that it is advisable to agree to quantity and price, and any other details, prior to placing any order. This will prevent any nasty surprises or misunderstandings.

This place is a dive. Lots of unsociable things going on. The staff are rude and if your face does not fit they will tell you to leave without no probable cause/no reason given. Lots of people hanging out outside pestering women. Very dangerous.
