Visited for the first time in a year, Friday evening and one-hour wait. Don't mind waiting but most of our group wanted the variety so we all had it rather than wait.
The server himself was wearing a scruffy kitchen overall top, which put me about, but he was using utensils so we carried on.
The meat was delicious and cooked to perfection. However, it is the first time I have had cooked vegetables and the only thing that spoiled it was they were cold.
Majority of the staff bar/waiting were pleasant but the person who you set us was Cassie. Don't know what position she holds but it is not professional to talk about the kitchen staff and not at all friendly, but it will be another year before we go again.
- Ann Smyth,
I think the Brown Bear pub is amazing. I love the bar staff, especially the young one. She is extremely polite and always welcoming. Her name is Laura.

My husband and I had 2 lovely meals on Tuesday 8th March.
I had the Hunters Chicken, which came on skillet, with seasoned chips, salad, and the other meal, peri peri chicken on skewers with lovely salad and chips, coleslaw. Plenty of food for cost.
The refurbishment is lovely and fresh, with new carpet, upholstery seating. Will return, with thanks to Ruth, who really looked after us.
- Avis Barker,
Great pub great food. Went in Tuesday lunchtime with my mother and had one of their stone baked pizzas. I definitely recommend the food, not only was it well made and tasty but also good value for money. The bar staff were very friendly and helpful, too. We had a great lunch and will visit again soon.
- Andrew Parkin,
We love this boozer and we all stick together, everyone knows everyone and look out for each other, especially in times of need.
For the narrow minded people who say that we're scumbags, I'm truly glad that they'll be taking their opinion elsewhere, I hope the brewery enjoy the video.
- Natalie,
The pale ale is the best ale I have ever had in almost 40 years of enjoying a pint!
My friend and I make a 17-mile round-trip to this great pub a couple of times a week (depending on a lift!)
The staff are friendly and I often see these ladies serving more customers with far less staff than a lot of pubs and the quality of the beer is an example of how to keep ale, something most of the large "Cask Marque" pubs simply can't match and while it costs more in lifts/petrol than we could save in the £2 per pint compared to most pubs, it's worth it.
- Rob,
Visited here a couple of times and thought it was alright. Came here again on a night out with friends. Everything was fine until about midnight then several people on the table next to us started smoking (we were indoors). We commented on this amongst ourselves but didn't actually engage the group on the other table. They then moved to the other side of the bar where several other people were smoking. I also noticed the barman light up a cigarette.
After about ten minutes one of the women from the group came over to our table. She asked us if we had been there before and I said we had been a couple of times. She then said that her and her friends went there every day and smoked. She said it was a lock-in and they were allowed to smoke, so I asked her if the doors were closed. They weren't and it was 1:00am (their own website says that they close at 2:00am on a Saturday). The woman then turned aggressive, shouting obscenities at our table and then screaming in the face of my wife. Then she picked up a glass and smashed it on a table directly behind the head of my friend, showering him in glass.
The barman (the same one who had been smoking) came over to apologise, saying only that she was drunk. The woman wasn't asked to leave and was still in the pub when we left.
Avoid.
- Dean,
Fabulous good, old fashioned, local pub which has people who cannot do enough for you.
- Janet Perkinton,
We booked a table for eight people on the 8th February for a birthday surprise. We were told to look at the menu online, but on arrival at the pub we were then told it was an old menu.
Three of us ordered the steak pie (unfortunately). The pies had been well overcooked and really required a saw to get into. We found the service to be very poor. We also ordered one sweet. Fifteen minutes later we asked again and were told this had been forgotten.
Probably find better food and service in Wetherspoons. Not a very happy birthday treat.
- Mr Ward,
Just called for a drink Monday evening, which we got after a lengthy wait. At one point there were five of us at the bar waiting, only one bar staff on, and while she changed a barrel, another two customers arrived. Service was poor for a pub of this size, especially as there were a lot of eating customers. Not sure about going again.
