We had wonderful family evening at The Bear Inn. The food was exceptionally good. (Best chips ever). The deserts were excellent inc sherry trifle and meringuefountain and others. The service was friendly. The price was reasonable. We would highly recommend the venue and look forward to another evening there.

Great honest homemade food and good beer and wine. What more to you want from a pub, but this quality and value is very rare in our experience! Service with a smile. We loved it!

Didn't expect much from the look of the bar & back room, however the food was tasty, plentiful & perfectly cooked.

We were staying locally whilst visiting the Royal Mint. We booked a table for 6 people. We arrived half way through an England v Wales Rugby game, the pub had a great atmosphere full of locals and a separate dining area for our booked table. The food is fantastic, plentiful and home cooked and very reasonably priced. We loved the local feel of the place, super friendly staff and we had a great time. Thank you.

We came up on Sunday for lunch. My family live in Llantrisant and had heard good things. I had travelled down from Guildford. The pub setting is lovely. It’s old and just how I like it. Old, but clean and welcoming. 200 years old I believe? It was my cousins 40th birthday and we chose to come here. We were welcomed in and shown to our table. At the time the pub was not too busy but it got busy later on and that is always a good indication. We were able to order drinks at the bar and then went to the carvery. A good selection of meat. Gammon, pork, Turkey, rare and well done beef. I had the well done beef. It was absolutely gorgeous. Also opted for some pork. Vegetables were served to us on the table. Absolutely no complaints at all. If I could have eaten the roast twice over I would have done. Everything was perfect. And then on to dessert. Hard hard choice. I went with key lime pie as it’s quite hard to find in the UK. I have already said to my family that we need to go back just for pie. It’s just like they make it in Florida. Absolutely beautiful. Not too overpowering with lime but flavoursome. Everyone left happy and full. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and as I have said earlier, an indication of how good somewhere is is how busy it is and this place was full. Thank you for having us. I will be back even if it is for a slice of pie
First visit to the Bear for Sunday lunch …Fabulous food, friendly service and great value ?

As I've only been for Sunday lunch, take this only as a review of Sunday lunch.Worst till last.Service and staff where excellent.The building fixtures and fittings good, would be excellent but they have squeezed table's together in the room where you go for the actual carvery, the only reason to do this is if you have full table's most of the time, in that room where we were seated was only ever half full the whole time we were there, it is not a nice atmosphere if you feel like a battery hen.Drinks and complimentary table water brilliant came in a jar with sliced lemon and ice(really trying), beer was in very good condition they know how to look after it, can't say that for too many small places.THE FOODThree of our party ordered vegan options, when booking the Tuesday before we where told to ring back Thursday to order nut roasts, on Thursday we where told there was no nut roast option just vegan sausage but it was home made, when inquiring at the carvery on the day if the sausage contained quorn, the gentleman said he'd have to look at the packet. The gravy that was served with the vegan meals was described by 2 of our party as dishwater.Meat was good choice of beef, ham, pork and turkey, they also chuck in some cocktail sausages as well, Yorkshire puddings were greasy and undercooked, offered roast parsnips at the carvery they were chopped small and over cooked, (pointed out to me later that they were deep fried which makes sense with what ends up on the plate)And now we come to the horror that was the roast potato's they were nuked, dark brown to black of those 4 put on my plate 2 where burnt out shell inedible.A selection of sources( probably to hide the taste of the food) gravy was dark thick and not the best, vegetables served at the table where passable but I suspect out of a tin or frozen from Iceland.I nearly laughed when the waiter came round with the desert menu, informing us that the desert was included with the meal, i suppose they must have to do it that way, otherwise no one would order desert, wanting to get the hell out of there.Sad thing is the staff was lovely and helpful.The Bear was recommended to one of our party, maybe it was a good place to go eat at one time ( would explain the 4.5 stars on Google maps) unfortunately it no longer is, avoid unless you want a pint.The bill worked out at £14 a head ok for a good meal, but not this. I've paid a little less and got far nicer Sunday lunches in other establishments in a 10 mile radius.

Had a family birthday lunch here on Saturday and it was superb! The staff were friendly and welcoming as soon as we arrived. The food was excellent! Fresh, home-cooked & lots of it. Great choice of menu at very reasonable prices. Also spoilt for choice with the desserts menu which were also delicious. We will be back for sure and highly recommend!

Lovely cosy pub with a friendly feel to the place. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the homemade chips are tremendous. It's got plenty to offer as a warm and friendly pub with great drinks choices and popular with the locals. It's dog friendly too which i was pleased to see being a dog owner.
