The White Bear – ‘Small, traditional and friendly one-roomed local built on the site of Idle Manor and dating from before 1750. It is affectionately nicknamed “The Scruffy” and is popular and busy especially during the cricket season. A disused well was discovered inside some years ago. The beer garden is popular in good weather and a window at the back of the bar serves it. Quiz nights are held on Thursdays and Sundays. There are a number of pictures of Idle from days gone by on the walls. The pub has its own golfing society.’ – Whatpub.com

Installed over Cloud 9 underlay which offers excellent heat and sound insulation but are lighter than conventional rubber underlays.
Forbo novilux oak wood plank effect – commercial vinyl for the bar surround added the perfect.
The pub is a popular place and is open every day and evening therefore, our commercial team had to work to strict timescales for stripping out the old and installing the new flooring without causing any disruption to the business.
Paul Winder, Director of Winder Carpets said “A wonderful local business that is well run and a key part of community life in Idle, Bradford. It was great to work on this project for a fellow local business on a wonderful summer’s day and the fitting team finished off with an ice cold beer’
