The Bear Cross

1. Lovely relaxed atmosphere.
   Very personable staff.
   Great food .
   Large free carpark. On a busy roundabout but you hardly noticed this once inside the lovely clean friendly pub.
   Highly recommend

2. This is a great place to bring family friends and loved ones. There is ample parking available within the area. There is also disable parking available here onsite. The food and service is excellent especially off peak times. Booking is better especially if you want to be on at peak times. There is good selection of wines, beer, cider and spirit’s. Food is great and one could choose between light bites of main dish too. Highly recommended to everyone who want to have a great time with family friends and loved ones. Thank you and have a great day 👍🌞

3. Not impressed at all. Such a shame the decline of service as well as the quality of the food.
   My mum had a stroke and my family came from Brighton to join us for our first meal out since she was out of hospital 3 weeks ago, we thought we would celebrate my sons girlfriends treat to us.

   I was served a totally different dish to what was on the menu that I ordered, I didn’t want to make a fuss as my mum would get stressed so I humbly ate some & gave the rest to my son & girlfriend. I was fasting 4 days & wanted to break my fast with protein not rice a carb so I wasn’t at all happy although didn’t want to ruin the meal for everyone else. It was bland & tasteless wrapped in a sauce that didn’t do it justice. I checked with the other family members & we agreed to say something as it was false advertising.

   I was offered a free dessert. I ordered a tea that never arrived and overall was not impressed by the lack of how important it is to serve what what is described on the menu. That could have been fatal to someone with a rice allergy & the pub libel. It was poorly managed the situation as it felt like it wasn’t really a problem, that night I had stomach pains with nausea as I never eat rice.

   I needed to write this to express just how important it is to serve on a menu what it actually is!

   No – one wants to ruin people’s lively hoods but the Bear Cross needs to step up, felt a waste of an evening & money.

4. Sadly the food let’s down what it is an otherwise good experience. The team are super friendly and the atmosphere is that of a friendly cosy local. I had the burger, supposedly beef, but had the texture and taste of a heavily processed, straight from the freezer slab of some mysterious meat like substance. The huge chips were pleasant enough but let down by a mayonnaise which lacked the creaminess and taste of one. The roasts my partner had looked like a better option so perhaps I chose carelessly on this occasion.

5. Came at 745pm for a Roast Dinner but they were out of all roasts but they did accommodate my little girl with mash chicken Yorkshire pudding and gravy . Unfortunately the chicken was very dried up and she couldn’t eat it but they did find a spoonful of mash extra to give her . Our food was lovely .. not big portions just the right size for me . One of the members of staff that served us was very accommodating and friendly . We are on holiday here . Gutted we didn’t get our roasts but we should have come earlier… enjoyed the sun and ate late . We would certainly come back here and recommend this place . I think my daughters chicken must have been what was left over from the Sunday lunches sadly so very dry . I had lamb chops and my husband had peppered pork
