Testimonials

"Following a very enjoyable and successful 40th birthday at The Bear last year, I booked again for a Christmas party for 58 people. The evening far exceeded our expectations and everyone had a great time. The private room/restaurant is a great venue for private parties and I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone. Well done to all the staff at THE BEAR for a fantastic evening."

Steve

"Went here for a Christmas Feast with some friends in December and the place is a lovely spot and the food was great. Really nicely presented which makes a difference to the normal pub food that you can get these days. Saw some Christmas parties set up in the back and they looked great will 100% be looking to book in for next year."

Melanie

"We had Christmas tipples in the Study and it was so cosy! The team looked after us as soon as we enquired right through the end of our very fun Friday Christmas drinks! We will be sure to come back!"
