   The best experience we’ve ever had in a pub since the covid reopening. The food was wonderful — we had a seafood platter with everything, which was delicious. The sunny day contributed, it goes without saying! The Bear and Ragged Staff made us almost speechless. Everybody should go there for drinks or meal!

   Really nice. Good brunch. I had avocado and poached egg on sourdough and there were two slices, so it was great.

   Overall a good though not outstanding experience. Hot smoked salmon pate could have had firmer texture, ciabatta with it over-toasted/baked I felt; plaice perhaps a little overcooked while potatoes undercooked. Wine was left with us unopened on a diy basis, had to be chann no fed as neither we nor waitor could open it…

   We sat in the bar and were lucky to sit near an open fire. My duck pie and my husband's choice of beef and ale pie were perfect on a cold wet day.

   We visited for our anniversary dinner as I’d seen some great reviews, it was a lovely experience, the food and drinks were great with lots of choice and a great choice of specials! It wasn’t too busy when we were there so it wasn’t too noisy. The staff were super attentive and friendly. The only thing I would say was that my fondant potato was a touch on the dry side but other than that, we had a really lovely time and we can’t wait to go back!

   The Bear and Ragged StaffResponded on 26 February 2022

   Oh wow Tara, thank you for this glowing review! It is an honor to have hosted you for your anniversary celebrations. We would love to welcome you back again very soon.

    The Bear and Ragged Staff is very friendly with a calm atmosphere. The food was excellent and the service from everyone was the best. We were there celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and the team made it special with a surprise dessert plate which we didn't expect (thank you, again). Our steaks were cooked perfectly to our requirements. I personally cannot recommend this place any more highly, if you're thinking about it, just book it and go.

    Apologies to the Bear and Ragged Staff. I started a review yesterday following an excellent lunch there yesterday but I was diverted and didn’t complete the review. I don’t normally do reviews but this occasion demanded one. Food was excellent and front of house staff were delightful. I am happy to recommend this restaurant and we will return.

    Another lovely early evening meal and get together at the Bear and Ragged Staff yesterday. We had beer, cocktails and wine which were all good with very good service from the very attentive waiter and waitress service. The starters and desserts were really good and the mains, all roasts were good too. Some of the vegetables were a little cold and served on cold plates which probably didn’t help. Overall a very enjoyable afternoon with my wife and step daughter on our pre Christmas celebration. It was great to see good social distancing and wasn’t too busy at that time of the day

    The Bear and Ragged StaffResponded on 7 December 2021

    Thank you for a lovely review John, we are so glad you were made to feel so comfortable by the team and enjoyed the food, we are sorry to hear your plate was a little called, we will raise this with the correct team, we hope this does not deter you from joining us in the future.

    We have visited 8 times in the last six months and the last two visits have been disappointing. Today we arrived for our table and were not only not greeted at the door, but waited whilst the chef briefed the staff on specials…..it was very uncomfortable. We had pre booked the table, so to stand in eye sight of the staff for 10 mins was something I’ve not experienced before. Food as always was high class, BUT they made a mistake with my 8 year old order and she received her food 10 mins after the rest of the table…..not ideal. Overall last two visits have been a noticed reduction in service, not sure I will give it another go. Food is great though

    Lunch with 2 friends was a very enjoyable experience. The service was friendly, helpful and efficient. We all enjoyed the food and thought the idea of a smigen of desert and coffee was an excellent idea. Sitting outside under a large umbrella was very relaxed and had the sun been shining I would have been grateful for the shade provided. I would be happy to go again.

    Service was a bit slow although they didn’t seem too busy. Food as usual was of a high quality but the pricing on the salad was rather high - 14.50 for a tomato and asparagus salad which was very small - very little asparagus in it. For comparison the vegan burger and chips was also 14.95 and was much more substantial.
