About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Dog-friendly
  • Neighborhood gem
Housed in a beautiful, bright ex-bank building tucked neatly in to Stone’s historic High Street, our third store has been designed to incorporate and preserve many of the site’s original features whilst still massively transforming the space.

The space has loads of cosy nooks and large social tables, as well as a secluded mezzanine space that’s almost too easy to settle in to. Pop in and grab your morning takeaway coffee or stay longer for brunch, just make sure you come and see us.

    Great place for food or just coffee & delicious cakes. Would be nice to have some different cake choices or seasonal specials as they’re always the same but that’s the only suggestion as it’s great to have vegan options especially with cakes. Staff are amazing & always super helpful, accommodating & friendly.

    I arrived and they had give it away my table after I told them I was going to be 10 minutes late and promised they would hold it for me. They then said to me there is no tables and you’ll have to wait. My partner complained and miraculously there was a table already upstairs. So we have now gone from being told there is no table and You’ll have to wait. To then a table upstairs. The coffee was nice the food was average. I wouldn’t rush to return again.

    I’ve eaten many times in Bear but unfortunately on this occasion I was disappointed in the food. We had been asked to pre order our food as there were 7 of us dining, I understand this and didn’t have an issue with pre ordering. Unfortunately we then felt rushed by our server to go ahead with our food and were on two occasions told the restaurant closed at 9.00, our table was booked for 7.15! I’d ordered a pizza, on arrival it clearly hadn’t been freshly made as the cheese wasn’t soft and the pizza was Luke warm. I was sharing the pizza with my daughter who had a halloumi loaded flatbread, this looked lovely but again wasn’t freshly made and was Luke warm. The others in our group gave similar feedback.
