Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 05:15 · Archive

The White Bear Inn in Stillington near York is back on the market freehold at £625,000.

The White Bear Inn in Stillington, a two-storey property dating to the 1700s, is being marketed freehold at £625,000 by Barry Crux & Co of York. The sale does not include a two-bedroomed bungalow at the rear, which is available separately.

Phil and Sue Robinson took on the lease in 1995 and purchased the freehold in 1998. Over their 30-odd years running the pub, they have built it into a thriving venue known for pub classics and Sunday lunch. The White Bear is a regular CAMRA award winner and was named Town and Country Pub of the Year for 2026. It holds 4.7 stars out of five on both TripAdvisor, based on 342 reviews, and Google, based on 406 reviews, ranking first out of two restaurants in Stillington.

The freehold was previously listed at £985,000 in November 2025 but was withdrawn from the market, leaving only a leasehold option available for £59,950. The current return to the market at a lower price follows the Robinsons' decision to retire.
