   Once again the team at the Bear helped to deliver a great dining experience, it was a joint mother's day and 70th Birthday celebration for my mum and we all had a good time, food was excellent and service was great.

   We were staying at the Bear Inn and after reading the reviews decided to eat there. The drinks and food were delicious. Service excellent.

   The food was over priced and not the standard of a gastro pub. Decor very average.

   Trained staff only should be allowed to settle bills. We were told that no service charge had been applied to our bill so we offered to add on 10%. When we looked at the bill later a service charge of 12.5% HAD been applied. Therefore we had paid a total of 22.5% in service charges! It was not worth that much! This was a case of either insufficient training or sharp practice.

   Hi Lorna, this is certainly not something we like to hear, and of course would like to rectify the situation, it seems like an honest mistake, but that is not excuse. If you could reach out via email with some more details, we'd be happy to deal with it immediately and refund anything that we need to. Please accept our sincere apologies for the mistake.

   Sunday lunch was amazing, it looked and smelt fantastic. We ordered the roast beef and it was amazing, it melted in the mouth. The venue and staff all fantastic.

   Surprisingly quiet for a Friday night this close to Christmas, but the food was tasty, generous and our waitress was great. Highly recommend the turkey !

   Lovely dining area. Fanatic staff attentive and friendly. The food was nice - I had king prawn curry (with crispy samphire - delicious) and husband had sausages and mash. Flavour was lovely. We had cheese straws to nibble - they were much bigger than straws 😂

    Made a last minute reservation and had no trouble booking. Service was outstanding from start to finish. Food was excellent and great value for money. First time we had been here and was made to feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend The Bear Inn.
