The Bear And Ragged Staff

We hadn't been to the Bear in a very long time, having read good reviews decided to visit for Sunday lunch. We received a warm welcome from friendly staff, who showed us to our table after a short wait. The pub has changed a lot since we were last there, it's kept its old world charm and looks inviting. We all enjoyed our food, one roast chicken, a venison cottage pie and a roast duck, all very well cooked and presented. Puddings all really good too. I would recommend the Bear it's well worth a visit.

A wonderful post Christmas lunch with the in laws cheese on sourbread toast accompanied with a mug sized bowl of roast parsnip soup, perfect size to not overdo my tummy! Once you've got over the single step entrance, wheelchair access is not a problem (not sure if an accessible toilet is available). Helpful staff turned down the background music speaker which was too loud for me.

We spent 3 nights at The Bear and Ragged Staff in a beautiful room, absolutely loved the size of the room, massive bed, old oak doors, it was just fantastic. Ate in their fabulous restaurant where we were treated to amazing quality food locally sourced and a great choice of meals!!! We can't thank the staff enough, nothing was too much for them, always friendly, and the service excellent, we really can't recommend staying here enough!!

Treated ourselves to Sunday lunch today and chose the roast turkey with side of cauliflower cheese. Staff very friendly upon arrival choice of where to sit. Good knowledge of draft beers to choose from and a good pint. The roast dinners arrived by very helpful young lad, brought extras of gravy and cranberry sauce promptly. Food was delicious, huge Yorkshire pudding and the side order was also delicious. Plenty of food, looked and tasted great. Had the special desert of tiramissu and sticky toffee pudding, again both delicious. Overall we would highly recommend coming here to eat the staff were all very helpful and friendly, it was nice for them to have a chat and make us feel like we were valued as customers. We will be back!

Fabulous Hamish party and the team were awesome… thank you for such a warm welcome and spectacular food!
