The Bear

About

The name of this historic inn was perpetuated when it became a Wetherspoon pub in 2010. The Bear has been on this site since 1845. Previously, it was at the corner of Park Street and High Street. The Bear is recorded in 1489, when the landlord charged ‘an unlawful price for provisions’. In the early 19th century, it was one of the town’s main coaching inns, but was converted into a private house in 1845. We at The Bear offer low priced quality food and drinks with a big variety to choose from. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner we are very popular with families with our award winning children's menu. We are actively involved in CAMRA Club with local meetings held here, with a great choice of 5 guest ales on continuously rotating you can see why it's their choice of location. We also offer a great craft beer range. We have plenty of other drinks available for those who aren't beer fans, with a great selection of Gins and Vodkas. Wines, ciders, cocktails and soft drinks available.
