About Bear
Traditional, Grade II listed building, built in 1543 and a pub since 1771. Two large open fireplaces at either end of the main bar with welcoming log fires in the winter. There is a large garden at the rear. Was originally three cottages and thought to have been the brewhouse for a Roman Catholic seminary next door. Reopened under Young's ownership in 2019, with a strong emphasis on British seasonal food with locally sourced food and guest ales.

Wow they’ve really turned this place around. While the service and decor has always been great here the food was really letting everything else down. Having heard they were under new management we visited again and were amazed at the difference in the food. This time the food both looked and tasted delicious. It’s a great place for fancy pub food, super convenient location and it’s dog friendly! This is a beautiful pub with a lovely beer garden and the staff are wonderful. It’s upmarket but family friendly - the menu is finally doing them all justice. They have games and dog treats and high…

Really nice place and service by Jelly was amazing warm and friendly! As a veggie the roast was not out of this world but I always know these are sometimes not the best. One person on our table had the fish and chips and said it was incredible! They don't play around with their portion sizes!

We visited The Bear on Sunday and decided on a whim to have a roast dinner. By far the best roast we’ve had in a very long time! Food and service were exceptional, and the staff are always lovely and welcoming. We also held our baby shower here back in March, and were so happy with how it turned out. The back room was perfect for what we wanted and the service was brilliant. Big thank you to the lovely team at The Bear Kelly & Jack

Had a 20 person family reunion on a busy Sunday lunch time and the place was amazing. The excellent and attentive staff put us in a private room out the back and we had the best time. The multitude of food choices was truly delicious and we cannot have been the easiest group to deal with, constantly moving seats to mingle. Keirai was incredible though and handled everything we threw at her with a smile. We most definitely will be back soon, the roasts were enormous!

Beautiful pub. We were going to the ivy over the road but the car park was so small in the Ivy and snobby customers so we came over the road and the car park was much nicer and bigger in the Bear. The staff in the Bear was so wonderful and attentive. Really lovely decor and nice you can sit outside or inside. I am veggie and had a pomegranate salad that was very yummy just could have had some more pomegranate in. My husband had a fish finger ciabatta sandwich. The fish was very yummy but the ciabatta was very hard, it could do with being cooked less and some oil on it.
