Excellent food, service very friendly. Between us had bubble and squeak and prawns. Not exactly tiger prawns but still delicious.

Nice place for a bit of Sunday brunch! Service was great, and food came quickly even though it was quite busy. A vegan sausage might have been nice with the vegan breakfast ?, otherwise, food was great!

Disappointed with the lunch experience. Club sandwich is NOT a club sandwich as previous reviewer has said it’s very disappointing. Coffee not pleasant either. The stairs to the toilet had food on them and felt very dirty with plates piled up at the back of the restaurant. Used to love visiting Bears at The Packhouse but won’t be going back to them again in Farnham centre.

For me this was disappointing. My main course chicken was tough and the sauté potatoes were new potatoes fried a bit, this was not sauté potatoes. My chocolate brownie was delicious and my daughter’s lunch was very nice. I clearly made a wrong choice. The staff were very apologetic when I mentioned the chicken and didn’t charge me for the main course. However, the all day breakfast the couple had at the next table looked very appetising.

Our first visit for lunch here, as the fish restaurant over the road had just closed.Enjoyed a good two course lunch, served by very friendly waitress, and we may well return next time we visit Farnham. Recommended.The picture on the wall underlines the name of this establishment!

Amazing welcome and food, staff and proprietor so lovely, we drive from Portchester to eat there and a stroll around the town, you need to book as is popular.

First time visiting Farnham. Loved the food, all day breakfast l, pie and good size kids portion. Would have prefer healthy kid food option but still very tasty and friendly staff

Never again! Shocking service and food! My mum had a coffee that tasted like flavoured old water, my dad ordered a club sandwich it was just two pieces of cheap bread barely put together - we had to show them a picture of what a club sandwich was as they looked confused when we questioned in. Goats cheese salad was far to expensive for what it was - one small piece of cheese with leaves swimming in dressing, kids pizza was cheddar cheese on pitta style bread with dried up pieces of cucumber sticks! When we were asked how it was (when we left) they seemed far too relaxed that we weren’t happy and made no apology etc. We were pointed to a table, asked for our orders and given food and that was the only time staff appeared. No one checked how the food was, checked if we would like more drinks etc but still add the service charge on the bill! So many better places to go in Farnham, that are welcoming, polite and serve tasty food! Avoid!

Over priced poor quality food Goats cheese salad consisted of a tasty array of vegetables and salad with a tiny piece of goats cheese very over priced . Also ordered a club sandwich the chef needs to do some homework and look up a club sandwich. It was a sandwich and that was it ,again over priced . Coffee was weak and tasteless Kids pizza again over priced and tasteless Such a shame as we always like to support local businesses.
Unfortunately I have yet to taste the food at Bears… despite the sign of ‘all day’ breakfast… every time I have tried to eat here this establishment has been closed. Today I entered to see people eating inside and was turned away as they had decided to close 1 and a half hours early due to not being busy… not impressed

Great café with friendly staff & good selection of food. Very reasonably priced too.

The staff were really friendly and a young waitress (also a student) took the time to speak to my husband and I about the art university that we had just visited, which we really appreciated.

Lovely food and friendly and welcoming staff.The restaurant wasn't quite what I was expecting - it seemed more like a daytime cafe rather than a restaurant. Nice enough though, and will probably return.Mix up with our bill, but this was swiftly and courteously rectified.

1 star because they don’t actually want to serve their customers and clearly the opening times are merely a suggestion for the kitchen team. Every time we walk in we get turned away for the kitchen being closed - sometimes 2 hours before - no apologies either, just matter of fact tongue ‘n’ cheek response from the waiting staff there. Absolutely bottom class service. Not worth even trying to eat there when there’s so many other lovely places to eat in Farnham - which are open even if it’s ‘not busy’
