Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly staff, called lovely and helpful, who made first-time visitors feel at home. Coffee comes up repeatedly, often with cake, and several pair it with toasties and soup after a swim or a walk around Dunbar, including a ploughman's toasted cheese sandwich. The Neapolitan base pizzas are praised as tasty and generous with toppings, and the cheese burgers are called full of flavour. A halloumi burger is credited with a balance of sweet, savoury and a small spicy tang. Cocktails and other drinks are called great, and one parent notes the boba tea made a 10 year old very happy. The room is described as cosy, comfy, clean and beautifully decorated, with modern, tidy toilets. One reviewer wishes it stayed open a bit longer. Dog owners describe a warm welcome, and one was offered a lovely throw so the dog could sit beside them.

“We had a really great evening at The Bear & Bull. It was our first time and the staff couldn’t have made us feel more at home. Extremely friendly and helpful. Cocktails were great and so were the Pizza’s by Jamie’s Backyard Slice. We love a good pizza and these Neapolitan base pizzas didn’t disappoint! Extremely tasty and generous with the toppings. We will be back for sure! Highly recommend if you are looking to call for a drink or food.”

“Brilliant drinks! Food was delicious too, the halloumi burger was the perfect triangle of taste, sweet, savoury and a small spicy tang.”
