Food & Drink
Food is a highlight at The Bear, so expect dishes showcasing local, seasonal ingredients grown from Welsh soil and reared on Welsh grass. Dishes balance classic pub favourites with more refined options; all served in relaxed yet elegant surroundings. In the summertime dine al fresco on the terrace. Tucked within the stone walls of the pub are three bars, (Lounge, Grill, & Courtyard) each offering a different feel – unwind with a pint of pale ale, enjoy a glass of wine by the fire, or dine informally with friends at lunch.
