Great little place, the service is very nice here, you are welcomed with a warm approach and if you are a regular, they recognise this and definitely appreciate your business. The quality of the food is great, it's presented well and has a good taste, from the starters to the mains, the taste and satisfaction from food is spot on. The cost of the food and drinks can be a little excessive. However, highly recommend for anyone and definitely holds a spot for us to visit again in future.

First time visiting for a Sunday roast, we visited and it was very pleasant. Atmosphere was cosy, vibrant and well managed. The food came very promptly, and it was nice to be asked how we would like our beef to be cooked. The kids roast was generous but personally, a different choice of veg would have been more appropriate. Not all children (ours are 5) are likely to be eating sprouts and cauliflower - we also had to ask for gravy as it apparently doesn't come with a turkey meal. Our waitress managed to hop on this quite quickly though. Our beef roast was around £22 each, which was good but nothing to "wow" over. The potatoes seemed a little under roasted for my liking and were under seasoned, and the Yorkie felt like it had been sitting around for a while. Our waitress was exceptional, and attentive but we had trouble getting a second round of drinks. Our bill came to £140 for a family of 4, which for an 'upmarket' roast is fine but there's some refining to justify the price. On a side note, parking here can be very tricky so when you do visit, arrive a little early incase you need to wait for a space.

Only 1 vegan dish on the entire menu (none for starters), meant I didn't get to experience much of the food. But the dish itself was nice. I felt £17.50 for a chickpea curry and rice was a bit pricey.It was concerning that when asking if there were any other vegan dishes the waitress suggested the fish! I feel restaurant staff should understand various dietary requirements and allergies. But they were staff were friendly and polite.
Had a lovely Sunday lunch accompanied with friends. Wonderful food, I had to have 3 courses! Always a fabulous experience at the bear. And shout out to the waiting staff for their immaculate service :)

Oh, how I love the bear. Tucked just away, giving those small town Inn vibes. The service is excellent and the food is good. It's perfect for a family dinner or catching up with friends.

Met friends here for lunch. The staff were very friendly. We were not rushed to order but eventually placed order. I had Skate wing in butter and capers. It was enormous and very tasty. The others had various dishes, which were all enjoyed. The prices were a little more than most places in the area. But overall , an enjoyable ? visit..
