About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Kid-friendly
Great for craft beers

The Bear's Head in Brereton is a country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character. Our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.

Book a table online and enjoy a spot by our roaring log-fire.

Built in 1625 and originally known as The Boars Head, this inn has been serving the community of Brereton for almost four hundred years. The Bear's Head was a popular posting house on the London to Liverpool turnpike, becoming so busy that in the 18th Century a new wing was built and a range of stables constructed on the opposite side of the road.

Black and white timbered, and ivy-clad, our ancient inn presents a pleasing prospect to villagers in Brereton. Away from the main road and surrounded by fields, this is a former posting house.

I'd not been to The Bears Head for several years but was delighted to find it was just as good as I remembered. Lovely log fires and warm welcome and a great menu to choose from. The soup was delicious but could have done with a little more and possibly more bread. the mini puddings were also a great idea however the Eton mess was substantially cream and very little else which was disappointing. We will be back though.

We have been going to the Bears Head for a couple of years for special occasions. They must have a new Chef because the Sunday Roast Beef was red and 2 people at the table didn't enjoy it. I couldn't eat mine and swapped with someone else. The latest trend to serve red meat isn't to everyone's taste. The parsnip was so al dente that I couldn't cut it with my knife!! I thought I was just being picky, so didn't complain.

As frequent customers, we found that there were several items on the menu that weren't available. This happens every time we dine at the Bear's Head. This is poor organisation, spoiling what should be an enjoyable occasion.

I am a regular customer of the Bear's Head and have been coming for several years. The food is generally good, and the service is generally very good. My only criticism is that very often items that are on the menu are not available. This happens too frequently to be acceptable.

Accomodated a wheelchair easily no stairs if using the pub area. Sarah our waitress was very helpful. Lovely food. The meat platter for 2 was huge could have fed a small army
