Cheers Bear 🐻
Fabulous food, friendly service and great value 😀
Worst till last.
Service and staff where excellent.
The building fixtures and fittings good, would be excellent but they have squeezed table's together in the room where you go for the actual carvery, the only reason to do this is if you have full table's most of the time, in that room where we were seated was only ever half full the whole time we were there, it is not a nice atmosphere if you feel like a battery hen.
Drinks and complimentary table water brilliant came in a jar with sliced lemon and ice(really trying), beer was in very good condition they know how to look after it, can't say that for too many small places.
THE FOOD
Three of our party ordered vegan options, when booking the Tuesday before we where told to ring back Thursday to order nut roasts, on Thursday we where told there was no nut roast option just vegan sausage but it was home made, when inquiring at the carvery on the day if the sausage contained quorn, the gentleman said he'd have to look at the packet. The gravy that was served with the vegan meals was described by 2 of our party as dishwater.
Meat was good choice of beef, ham, pork and turkey, they also chuck in some cocktail sausages as well, Yorkshire puddings were greasy and undercooked, offered roast parsnips at the carvery they were chopped small and over cooked, (pointed out to me later that they were deep fried which makes sense with what ends up on the plate)
And now we come to the horror that was the roast potato's they were nuked, dark brown to black of those 4 put on my plate 2 where burnt out shell inedible.
A selection of sources( probably to hide the taste of the food) gravy was dark thick and not the best, vegetables served at the table where passable but I suspect out of a tin or frozen from Iceland.
I nearly laughed when the waiter came round with the desert menu, informing us that the desert was included with the meal, i suppose they must have to do it that way, otherwise no one would order desert, wanting to get the hell out of there.
Sad thing is the staff was lovely and helpful.
The Bear was recommended to one of our party, maybe it was a good place to go eat at one time ( would explain the 4.5 stars on Google maps) unfortunately it no longer is, avoid unless you want a pint.
The bill worked out at £14 a head ok for a good meal, but not this. I've paid a little less and got far nicer Sunday lunches in other establishments in a 10 mile radius.
