Absolutely stunning meal, honestly the best pasta I’ve ever

We have just spent two very enjoyable nights at The Bear. This is our second visit, along with our golden retriever, in three months.Lovely room, very friendly staff and an amazing Mother's Day meal. Thank you ? This hotel certainly is a credit to the Fullers portfolio.Special thanks to Tania and Sherilyn. Keep up the good work!

Terrible food for the extortianate prices. £8.50 on kids menu for a £1 worth of pizza and burger for kids but pushed up with added vegetables that simply do not go with (pizza and tenderstem broccoli)! I ordered a gnocchi with cheese and artichokes. For £21 the portion was eye watering small as a main, hardly 80gr of pasta, the small cheap pre made gnocchi not fresh as you d expect for such a price. Was sent back to the chef as the pasta was plasticky and hard to even chew. To make matters worse the server said it must have happened when they were being blanched! They are not almonds, they are gnocchi made of pasta and potatoes, hence already white! Clearly a rip off of a place hiding behind a very nice and comfortable atmosphere in a pretty location.

Amazing place with superb food Best Roast I have ever had!, and impeccable service, nothing was too much trouble. Wow, will be going there again!!Food & drinks: The food was fantastic and plenty of it. Catered to my garlic allergy which I advise of beforehand. Absolutely the best eating out experience and certainly the best roast beef dinner I have ever had, and I've had a lot....

We booked an afternoon reservation for my brothers birthday. Amongst our party we have a family member with who is a vegetarian and has a nut allergy. The staff catered extremely well, and were thorough with ensuring there was no nuts around the prep of our parties food. The entire atmosphere of the establishment was lovely. Beautiful green plannelling wall that served as a great backdrop for our updated family photos. The food was delicious and came out promptly. We definitely will come back again!!!!

Nice pub, eaten a few times but can be a bit over priced, not much of a lunch menu so don’t come here to often but a lovely outdoor area in the summer.

Really lovely stay at The Bear. We stayed as a large group of 9, and found all of our needs met by the friendly and attentive staff.Rooms are spacious, well equipped and clean. We stayed in the suite which had a roll-top bath - highly recommended.Food was all cooked perfectly, roasts were plentiful and arrived hot and with lots of gravy.Thanks to all of the staff for a relaxing trip

Subject: Gratitude for Exceptional Hosting at Sarah and Mike's WeddingDear [Venue Name],I am writing to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional hosting provided at Sarah and Mike's wedding last Saturday. Your venue served as the perfect backdrop for such a beautiful night, and I feel honored to have been a part of it.I would like to give a special shout-out to Alex and your exceptional team—they were all fantastic and played a crucial role in the success of the event. While I have had the privilege of performing at several remarkable venues, including Merley House and Upton Country House, I must say that your venue stands out for its unparalleled charm and character.The opportunity to perform at your venue was truly a highlight for me, and I eagerly anticipate the chance to return in the near future. Your venue will undoubtedly be my top recommendation for couples seeking the ideal setting for their wedding.I am enthusiastic about the prospect of collaborating with you again and believe that hosting all-day weddings could be a promising direction for your venue.Warm regards,Steven @ Picknmixx Wedding DJ

Lovely setting, was a table for family dinner, we were a bit squeezed in, even though there was plenty of space around us, setting and service was great, sadly the food wasn't setting the world on fire, and didn't feel value for money when you look at the prices,

Had a very relaxing mid week break. Quiet hotel in January. Staff friendly breakfast very good. Will stay againRooms: Room only small but cozy and warm. Air conditioning very quiet. Shower amazing didn’t want to get out. A great hotel overall but check comparison prices before you book as the price we paid booking directly with the hotel online is considerably more expensive than booking sites.Food & drinks: Nice bar area. Good choice of beers. Breakfast included and a really wide choice. I had the full English one day and Eggs Benedict the next both delicious.only had an evening bar snack so can’t comment on dinners

Always a fantastic experience ?

The food was good, but not the best pub grub I've ever tasted. It's a limited traditional menu with a few specials that run out quickly. We ordered three crumbles for dessert but only two were left. It was a Wednesday night so that may explain the lack of orders.It's a very nice pub restaurant with friendly service, but the food could be a better quality.
