Happy National Bee Day from your favourite hive in Kennington 🐝🍯

At the White Bear, bees are more than just part of the garden they’re part of who we are. From our very own honey hives to refreshing spritz inspired by the sweet work happening right outside our doors, today we’re raising a glass to the tiny legends that keep everything blooming.

And of course, we had to show some love to our neighbours at whose honey-infused spirits help us create some seriously buzz-worthy spritzes 🍹✨

Sunshine, spritzes, honey & good vibes… sounds like the perfect way to celebrate the bees 🐝💛

The White Bear is more than just a place for a pint.
It’s where strangers become friends, where laughter fills the room, and where the community comes together. 🍻

It’s the place to cheer for your team, celebrate the wins, and survive the heartbreaks.
A place for Sunday roasts with family, after-work catch ups, first dates, first kisses… and sometimes even the last goodbye. ❤️

It’s birthday toasts, late-night stories, “just one more” moments, and memories that stay long after the glasses are empty.
A warm welcome after a hard day, a garden full of sunshine in summer, and a cosy corner in winter.

The White Bear isn’t just a pub.
It’s part of your story. 🐻
