Firstly to say I wouldn?t recommend The Black Bear is wrong, as the food was delicious and have visited on many occasions before. We had a time slot for the table and I just felt everything was rushed. When the deadline came for us to vacate the table we hadn?t received our dessert. I didn?t enjoy eating my dessert, even though it was delicious as I felt I had to rush every mouthful and down my drink quickly. Staff were then quick to bring the bill before we asked for it. Then as we were finishing off our drinks another member of staff came over eager for us to move. I understand they are busy but found the staff to be quite rude in the subtle way they got us to move.

Busy town centre pub serving food and a good range of beer , dropped a star as my wife gave me ear ache that she did not get the remainder of her cider when the barman poured it in a plastic glass , was an outdoor event but first two came with the bottle.

First time coming here, the milkshake was really really nice and I recommend that, it's cosy and it has a warm, traditional character to the pub.
However it's very expensive!

Short walk from Pepper Street Rooms, recommended by owner. Traditional style pub, wooden beams, floor, etc. Had the fish n chips and scotch egg with an amber beer and golden pale ale. both dishes were excellent. Really enjoyed both the food and ambiance. Highly recommended.

A lovely place. The decor was very smart, clean, and looked new. The food was well presented and tasty. I had the small fish and chips, which was more than plenty. The batter was the best I've ever experienced, very thin and not greasy at all. There is a lovely rear garden, quite surprising with plenty of seating, beautiful planting and a hidden gem on a sunny day, loved the sunflowers. Toilets were immaculate and the staff very warm and welcoming and pleasant. We will definitely go back.

Nice little pub, good portions (not over the top). Just a couple of moans,my roasties tasted a bit stale, although everyone elses seemed ok, pork scratchings were sprinkled over my roast which was a bit weird . staff pleasant.
