What People Say
Best roast we've had in years. Kev remembered we came for our anniversary last time – that's the kind of place this is.

Stayed in the Market Square Room. Yes, you can hear the pub below – but honestly? That's part of the charm. Brilliant breakfast too.

Thursday quiz has become our thing. Dom's questions are properly hard but fair. And the chips are dangerously good.

Quiz nights, live music, themed dinners, and the occasional bit of outright nonsense. There's always something happening.
Treat yourself to a proper afternoon tea at The Bear Inn. Freshly baked scones, clotted cream, delicate finger sandwiches, and a selection of sweet treats – all served on vintage china.
