The Bear - Wiltshire

Discovered The Bear whilst searching for somewhere to have Sunday lunch. Two roast beef, one Caesar salad and a mushroom and Stilton pie later we were all impressed. The largest, crispiest Yorkshire puddings (also with the pie) and magnificent meals with as much on the plate as anyone could wish for. Good service with a smile and really good value. We were impressed. A very happy accident.

We stopped off at BoA for a bite to eat came across this little gem, wasnt sure I wanted a pie, but the menu looked great. So we ordered a steak stilton steak cheese, they came with fries or mash and green veg gravy. Pies were filled t the brim with meat, very tasty and pastry was light fluffy. They are definitely worth the award winning accolade. The whole meal was buearuful , so filling. Staff were so friendly and inviting. My dog was even looked after by the lovely waiter. 5 stars and more

Never again. When this was the pie place, it was amazing. Now, it’s just awful. Terrible beer and service, and so run down. Toilet missing seat, dangerous steps inside which are broken falling away, damaged tables outside.

What can be said again another pub switched into an Indian with a menu as long as your arm and cheap booze to try and counter the awful food, weird and ruined maybe just try being a sports bar with every sport under the sun on like you already have!

We chose the restaurant over the bar. It was rather cold but our waiter plugged in a portable heater which helped enormously. Our meals however warmed us up, hot, spicy and totally delicious. Bollywood Massala, Lababda, Nan, Pilau Rice and Saag Aloo.
