Bear & Ragged Staff

Inspector comments
"Trend-conscious cooking and contemporary design."
Overview
The Bear offers an appealing mixture of traditional atmosphere and contemporary design. Masses of artwork on cool green walls in the dining room offset the roughcast stone, and forward-thinking menus offer trend-conscious British food. They create a themed board with ingredients from sea, garden and butchery.
