  “I visited the Bear Tavern on Saturday with my partner and daughter for a quick drink, there was a Frankie Valley tribute act on which was absolutely brilliant, he interacted really well with the audience and sounded great with lots of quick outfit changes would definitely enjoy seeing him perform again. Service was great as usual from the bar staff especially Luke and Jack who served us with a smile, always enjoy visiting the Bear 😊”

  “I had a senior meal today. Fish and chips and then apple crumble with ice-cream. It was perfectly cooked, reasonable sized portion. It was very good value, good service, and good food”

  “Came into The Bear Tavern at prime time on a Saturday afternoon with a group of 14 people, with no booking and no warning. Despite how busy it was, Luke behind the bar and Ethan in the kitchen couldn't have been more accommodating. …”

  “Had my wedding reception here last night it was absolutely perfect and gave us the freedom to bring our vision to life by decorating it ourselves. Seeing everything come together exactly how we imagined made the day feel even more special and personal. The space looked beautiful, the atmosphere was amazing, and the staff were helpful and accommodating throughout. Our guests loved the venue, and it created the perfect setting for an unforgettable celebration. Want to thank all the staff for everything they have done for us since the Friday before our big day. Also big up to Georgina (barmaid) she was fantastic!”

  “Quite quiet on my visit, a Sunday in late June. I had a good pint of IPA for 4.70. I did order a bag of scratchings, but refused them when I was told they were £1.80. …”

  “Realised I have not yet left a review for The Bear! This is a nice place to come for food, drinks and just relax. When working from home often causes a need to escape the house, can always find plug sockets for laptops, phones etc and the WiFi is spot on too for everything could possibly need. WiFi - 55.6Mbps download / 42.1Mbps upload speed according to Speedtest for my visit today at around 5pm. Drinks - Always served cold and fresh. Even when gets busy, do not have to wait long at the bar. When working and need to crack on - the app ordering is perfect too. No problems at all! Food - Spot on. I tend to go for the "Chick N Mix" for £8.79! Check the photo, its great. Lots of food, hot, fresh and tasty. Highly recommended! Staff - Thank you everyone here for your great service, it really is appreciated to be able to have a friendly chat when often come solo. From the warm welcome at the bar, and to bringing the orders to the table is fantastic, will keep returning for as long as continues! Atmosphere - Its a local sort of pub, but welcoming of everyone. Music as just the right level, pool tables, poker tables on some nights and quiz. A Gem of Bearwood! Only one suggestion for improvement... There is a lot vandalism on the wall in the gents toilets.... How about paint the section in front of the urinals with chalk board paint, and leave some chalks to use on it? Would cost very little and solve the graffiti by "allowing" it. Just a thought, a banter wall - hope you consider it :) Interesting point to note for those local and not... look up at the clock on the top. Only when doing this review today I noticed that there are bears all around it. The things you miss for all the years living around here until come to look closely. Conclusion: Highly recommend this place to anyone for drinks and food! 5* all round.”
