About this menu

Bear Tavern is a pub on Bearwood Rd in Smethwick, and the food runs from beer food, rolls and kebabs to steaks and familiar pub plates. Pub classics include Hunter's chicken and katsu chicken, while the steak house and burgers sections cover the heavier end, with a build your own burger option too. Seasoned fries, cheesy chips and onion rings are listed under sides, and the starters, mains and desserts, including Lotus Biscoff cheesecake, round out the full run.

If you are dropping in for a daytime meal, Let's do lunch and Lunch for less are worth a look, and the rolls and starters make for a smaller order. Anyone after a full plate can turn to the steak house or the mains, where some dishes carry a seniors label. Burger fans can put their own together under build your own burger, and sides such as onion rings are simple to add to any order.
