My first Donnington pub on my camping trip in this area. I first went around town to take some photos, and this is a good looking building with bay windows two storeys high. After walking round for a bit I found myself at the back of the pub and made my way through to the bar. (There is also a garden bar - not much of a garden, and the bar was not open in the afternoon when I was here.) At the front there are two rooms with six hand pumps altogether, a couple of ciders and two Donnington beers, SBA and Cotswold Gold. The SBA was ok (NBSS 2.5) and I enjoyed a little of the banter among some regulars in the short time it took me to drink my half.

Good grief - after 6 months, this website is back up and running. Wha's changed?
Donnington Ales Pub - stocking all their range. Lots of people don't like their beer but there was nothing wrong at all with my Cotswold Gold (£3).
Pleasant pub - with central bar dividing a sports bar on one side and a lounge on the other.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The White Bear
Substantial High Street inn, retaining a two-bar layout featuring a busy public bar (with a sports TV, music, etc.) plus a larger and more sedate lounge then a further dining area beyond. Mix of the traditional and modern in terms of furniture and decor in a way that works quite well. As a Donnington Brewery house, BB (£3.00), SBA and Gold are available from three of six handpumps.
