About us

With over 40 wines from around the world, a Cask Marque Award winning range of real ales and wonderful gastropub food, all served up within the timbers of an Elizabethan galleon, it’s no wonder we draw regulars from miles around and host so many events. So come and experience the unbeatable hospitality, and value, at The Old White Beare and discover why we are still Halifax’s favourite place to drop anchor almost 500 years later.

We make everything fresh, including ice creams and desserts, using only fresh, locally sourced ingredients. From a la carte to comforting classics, everything is imaginatively cooked and beautifully presented. All at exceptional value. Monday to Friday from 12-3pm and 5-9pm.

Our incredible kitchen team, led by Head Chef Edward Curly, lovingly serves up mouthwatering fare every day, from classics such as our slow roast British beef to favourites including the Roasted Venison Haunch Steak, Dauphinois Potatoes, Braised Red cabbage & Red Wine Gravy. No wonder our gastropub draws hungry fans back to us from throughout Halifax and beyond.

We pride ourselves on sourcing fresh local product for all our dishes, from only the best local suppliers, and offering excellent value. Get in touch to book a table in our beautiful Brewhouse Restaurant or, weather permitting, sit outside and savour our surroundings. Your stomach and tastebuds will thank you for eating here.

Nice cosy pub, good beers but food menu limited and some of the choices not avaliable.

Just had lunch here with my wife and family. The area we were seated in was so cold and not heated, we sat there freezing and uncomfortable. When the food was brought to the table it immediately cooled down, I had ordered fish, chips and mushy peas or should I say mushy cold pea as the portion was less than a small spoon in size. I think you can do better this.

Booked in for a meal today as part of our Christmas tradition. We were welcomed and served by Natalie who made us feel very welcome. The pub was quiet but felt very homely with the decor and Christmas decorations. Between us we had turkey and beef bourguignon for main, both came mash and seasonal vegetables. For dessert it was Christmas pudding and custard, and berry tart; both delicious. A good selection of beers including 4 hand pulled ales. The piano is a lovely touch in the corner of the dining room. I'm sure we'll be back soon, Adam (Craft.Beer.Monkey)

One of the best traditional village pubs around in a beautiful countryside setting. Big open fires make it the perfect place after a long winter walk. Food is excellent, especially the Sunday Roast dinner but, highly recommend their Mushroom Wellington for the veggies as well. Wonderful friendly atmosphere and dogs are welcome too.

We arrived without booking which didn’t cause a problem in the least. The place was lovely and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The menu was quite extensive with the four of us choosing different options. Every one of us described our own meal as excellent. Will definitely be visiting again and would highly recommend. But next time we will book, to avoid what would be a huge disappointment. Well done to everybody at the Old White Beare . Thank you.
