Bear Grills in Cheshire East

Love this place fantastic value for money breakfast, friendly staff and a lovely brew!!!! Keep up the great work!!!! I love the fact they haven't lost the "builders breakfast" with the new look interior. I hate when places try go too upmarket with an old British fry up!!! See you again soon

Had a bacon and cheese bap this morning was so disappointed 2 small bacon and I think they missed with the cheese ,would post a photo but can't

Very busy after Remembrance parade but was quick after ordered on app machine. Had beartown breakfast with scrambled egg. Not a hash brown fan but I did eat one. The breakfast was fantastic. Will definitely go back.

Great cafe, delicious food and lovely atmosphere.

Really good breakfast, fast service

I found the atmosphere lovely and the staff were brilliant & friendly. The menu has loads of choices and easy to order. The breakfast I had was lovely and the haggis slice just finished it off. We all enjoyed our breakfasts and coffees were delicious. Definitely coming back for more.

Disappointing and Unappetizing Experience I had high hopes for this café, but unfortunately, my experience was incredibly disappointing. First off, the place felt grimy and in desperate need of a good clean. The tables were sticky, and the overall atmosphere was far from inviting. The food was another letdown. My full English breakfast arrived swimming in grease, with soggy toast and undercooked bacon. The eggs were rubbery, and the sausages tasted like they’d been sitting on the grill for far too long. Even the coffee was weak and tasteless, more like dishwater than a proper cup of coffee. The service wasn’t much better. The staff seemed disinterested and not particularly friendly, making the whole experience feel even more unwelcoming. I understand that greasy spoons are meant to be cheap and cheerful, but this place was neither. There are much better options nearby for a decent breakfast.

Brilliant place in Congleton for the best breakfast in town. Huge selection of breakfast but also does amazing burgers that I saw delivered to the table opposite us. Breakfast is always freshly cooked hot and delicious. I can't recommend this little gem high enough. Best place in town.

Nice little place. I think the vegi sausage needs to be looked at, has a weird after taste. Strange how you order on a machine on the wall, has a fast food feel to the place. Waitress was friendly and coffee was nice. A little pricey for what it is but left nicely full

This used to be our regular Saturday morning treat but for a variety of reasons we hadn't been for a while (nothing to do with Bear Grills I might add). Had a fabulous breakfast this morning. Delicious oatcakes and breakfast and my Grandson polished off his beans on toast and milkshake. Definitely back to Saturday mornings at Bear Grills!!

I don't often go out for breakfast but when I do I always go to bear grills food, service and atmosphere is always top notch

A great place to go for breakfast in Congleton and one of the few places open on a Sunday. Proper "dirty" fry-up food. Staff are friendly, food is served quickly, and a lot of good food options are available to choose from. The hash browns and sugar waffles are particularly good but the sausages could be better. It's a little overpriced for what it is but still somewhere I will gladly visit again.

Absolutely amazing food, service amazing everyone smiling and great music in the back would highly recommend

Great food, lots of choice easy to see on the menu screens. Love the place and visit most weeks.

Been quite a few times, had a few different items off the breakfast menu and great every time. Really good value for money, easy ordering process either via the self order pad or pay cash at the till. Full English super delicious. Love it

Lovely little place with a big heart! Great atmosphere, amazing food and pleasant service. Love it here the best place for a proper breakfast 😋 you know it's good when you have to fight for a seat!! Keep up the great work and see you at the weekend!!

My fave place for breakfast. Very tasty and well presented food on every occasion I’ve been. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Nice relaxed atmosphere. I’m even craving a breakfast whilst typing this :p Keep up the great work!

I've been there a few times and this is definitely my go to place for a good old English Breakfast. Great service, reasonable prices, and very family friendly.

I completely understand that restaurants need to make a profit, but charging £1 for a single pancake, when I can get a pack of six identical ones from Tesco for 49p, feels a bit... excessive. I suppose it would be nice if the pancakes on the menu were actually made in-house rather than something that seems like it’s come out of a microwave or toaster. As for the sausages, they’re claimed to be Blakeman's, but the resemblance to the budget Richmond variety is striking. The hash browns, unfortunately, didn’t fare any better—soggy and uninspiring. And then there’s the mini Heinz ketchup bottles filled with what’s clearly a cheap knockoff. If you’re going to cut corners, at least use one of those novelty bottles shaped like a tomato. It would add a bit of charm, at least. I’ve been here a few times, and sadly, it’s clear that things have taken a nosedive. The installation of computer screens for ordering is a curious choice, especially when there are multiple staff members just hanging around behind the counter. I imagine they must be very busy, though, doing... well, something. The prices, for what is essentially substandard greasy spoon fare, are astonishing. £5 for a fresh orange and a Sprite? It’s quite something. I’m sure the owner will respond to this with his usual charming combination of sarcasm and deflection. It’s almost as if any feedback that doesn’t fit his narrative of how customers *should* feel is promptly dismissed. But, of course, he knows best! If you want a proper cafe with the best breakfast in Congleton look no further than “Sienna’s”. Top quality products sold at a fair price.

Too expensive just go weatherspoons you get double the breakfast for a pound less and same quality

The staff were super friendly, the ordering process with a McDonalds style kiosk is really good. The vibe in there and the music was great, however....the McDonalds style breakfast muffin was a bit tasteless but it was okay, but the coffee was absolutely shocking, I suspect it's an automated machine, which you just cannot have if you are a cafe. It's a real shame because the cost wasn't too bad and it had other positive points but I'm not sure that I could go back based on the quality of the food and coffee.

It was very delicious. I had breakfast and It was nice. It is very good and it is very nice. Because I liked it. Its was good and nice and it wasn't bad because it was good and like yea

The food was straightforward and high-quality, the service was speedy and friendly, and the playlist was all-killer (80's hits while we were there). Also good view of the bus station for large vehicle-watching.

Always good food! Owner and staff will go out of their way to help you out, and make you feel welcomed as a customer.

Very disappointed, sandwich had no butter on and wasn't cut. Girlfriend never eaten her muffin, it had sauce which was never asked. Very greasy and will deffo not be eating here again.

We quickly googled somewhere for breakfast while photographing in the Congleton area on a Sunday morning, this place came up and we were two minutes away from it. Great place with plenty of options on the menu, the staff were friendly and the food was good and served hot. We would definitely call again if we were in the area.

Good basic food, good choice of menu and good value

Lovely breakfast, great atmosphere and brilliant service. Nice to see a business thriving in our town. Shall be returning soon.

Just wanted toast and coffee. Only white bread for toast. Coffee machine broken. Pay by cash unless you want to use a complicated kiosk system.

Great food, very accommodating fast ordering system (kiosk) great start to the day. 8 people in total well fed and watered.

Incredible breakfast. 10/10 for the service. Very reasonable prices. Will be returning.

Fabulous place for breakfast! Great food, fantastic friendly staff always happy to help. The music creates a great atmosphere with some 80s classics. You won't be disappointed.

Came here for a breakfast a few days ago, and was highly disappointed. the sausages were near raw and very flavourless. The black pudding seemed stale/dry and was hard to cut through (You get more beans then you do breakfast). And not to mention I found what seemed like a short curly hair in my beans. I do not recommend going here.

I am a Uk master chef finalist and very rarely find a restaurant that serves food as good as I enjoy to prepare for myself, the staff are friendly and helpful , it’s clean with a fresh smell in the restaurant, a must try for anyone visiting Congleton , for any food throughout the day 👍🖤🐻

The breakfasts here are great. The make your own option works well when you can’t find the perfect combination!

Good food, friendly staff Only complaint my husband said the tables are too shiny and his plate wouldn't keep still 🤣

Trendy, quirky an nice atmosphere totally enjoyed my breakfast, I'm not local so Google sent me here and I'm very impressed... Great food great staff ...

Awfull cheap ingredients tasteless, also orderd a full breakfast on there card payment screen clicked a breakfast showing fried eggs, they brought scrabbled egg which I said" it shows fried eggs" then they said there is a problem with the machine not saying would you like fried egg instead ! Pathetic ! won't be going there again Also cheap nasty sauces hidden in branded bottles also over priced . Bitter response like the rest of the responses, Il put a extra star on so you can sleep.

After driving past a few times, we finally tried the cafe! It is situated on a car park, which you do have to pay for, it was £0.67 for two hours (paid via paybyphone app). We had a caramel latte, english breakfast and pancakes with syrup. Service was quick and friendly. The pancakes were fluffy with loads of syrup! The bacon wasn’t fatty at all, the egg was runny and the portions were good!

Always a lovely welcome by the team, with belting food at a great price. Thoroughly recommend the large breakfast with extra haggis, delicious!

Wow, what an amazing little find! Can easily say the best breakfast I’ve ever had and it didn’t break the bank, the fact you can create your own breakfast is what I loved the most. Staff where super helpful and very welcoming 100% recommend and will be returning many times. The smallest little detail being a downside for me was they where playing Christmas radio and I’m such a grinch - it’s not December yet 🤣

Amazing breakfast. 100% be back

Food is always good here, service is quick. You can dine in or takeaway.

Food was phenomenal, and the staff were excellent, helpful, very friendly, and professional 👍👍

Not in a million years is this a 4.7. Ordered a bacon,sausage, egg and hash brown sandwich along with a latte. Cost over £8 the sausages you could buy 100 for £5 very poor quality, the rest was average. The latte was also vile 🤮. Clean the machine.

Popped in for breakfast one morning, quick service and good portion sizes. Plus not too crowded either, you have enough space to yourself.

A nice, warm pleasant feel when dining in however the food is what let the place down, we both had breakfast and for the price we both were expecting a nice big breakfast, this wasn't the case. The food was lacking quality especially the sausages. The breakfast was nice but could of been so much better if the quality of the food was decent.

Value for money couldn't fault it

always excellent food, great value for money and friendly staff. easy to park right outside. cannot fault it!

Just popped in for a quick bite, had a breakfast special which was hot and plenty of it, service was prompt and came with a smile, portions are good and prices competitive, good atmosphere and friendly staff, recommended

Excellent breakfast, average price, fast service. Pleasant, friendly staff. Very clean. Will definitely return soon

Easily the best value tastiest place to eat in the area. The food is lovely and plentiful, they make a great cup of tea and there is (cheap, paid) parking right outside. Brilliant.

Stopped for breakfast before venturing north lovely clean place helpful friendly staff great food, very tasty…………………

Excellent place for that Sunday Morning Breakfast (or any day for that matter 😜) See you again soon!

Ok cafe, good breakfast, local parking available.

AAA+ can not fault Good menu, lovely food, friendly staff.

Well where do I start, simple looking exterior but warm and comfortable interior, spotlessly clean with friendly polite staff. The menu is predominantly breakfast / brunch orientated but there is still a good variety of alternatives. Overall the menu is imaginative and if you love English or American breakfast then this is for you! My regular breakfast had high quality ingredients, perfect portion size and (controversially) the best hash brown I have eaten in many years . My partners breakfast burger was innovative and delicious, a drop of maple syrup on the brioche bun was a touch of genius! Price was very competitive and the coffee was excellent. They have a number of specials too, we will certainly be returning thank you!

Came here recently and have to say it was brilliant for breakfast, only downside was the sausages, be great if there was an option to maybe pay a little extra to upgrade these? But will be returning again for sure!

Excellent food and service once again

Delicious food Good prices Friendly staff Great atmosphere Baby highchairs and changing If in Congleton again will return

Visited on Saturday lunchtime, I had the grizzly breakfast and my partner had the classic beef burger. Both meals were served promptly and every item was piping hot. We both enjoyed our meals and will definitely visit again. My only (small) criticism was there were no mushrooms on the breakfast. Highly recommended Thank you.

If we are working locally as we are a congleton based business we often have breakfast at Bear grills, each and every time the breakfast is spot on and the hash browns are to die for, lovely staff warm and welcoming we wouldn’t go anywhere els to be honest, for the best breakfast and best way to start the day with a full belly we recommend bear grills you can’t go wrong, thanks guys. 10/10 just to add the inside of the cafe is absolutely stunning. Keep up the good work 👍

Very expensive,nice food but price of cans of drinks is ridicoulous as is a pot of tea! Nice lady serving ive added on more stars as food is very nice

Visited today for the first time with my son.. Great set up.. amazing, friendly, on the ball staff and good food. See you again soon 👍

Great staff so kind excellent food clean tables pleasure to visit now a regular

Ideal place to have a coffee while waiting for a bus 🚌

First time eating here. Enjoyed it. As did my little girl! Thanks. Great service :)

Great food. Great service. Highly recommended.

The food is great. Plenty to choose from on the menus. Friendly and accomadating staff. Fantastic place to visit. Will be going again. Keep up the good work bear grills.

The best sausage and cheese toastie ever! Service is amazing, staff are friendly and the food is 5 ⭐️

Me and my husband ordered two takeaway breakfast and they were really accommodating to him adding extras when he went to collect them and even walking home they were pipping hot and tasted grate will 100% return fab friendly staff

Had lunch here with my mum. We both had omelettes. They were lovely and fresh. Service was great. Would recommend.

Bear Grills Cafe is one of the most well-loved businesses in Congleton and with good reason. Excellent food always served with a smile, and expertly run by Mark, the cafe delivers high quality at a fair price. Highly recommended!

Best breakfast in town! Wonderful treat. The wall of pay it forward is a wonderful idea for those who can’t afford food; it is the pinochle and heart of what a good community is! Thank you 🙏🏻

Although I have only been to this cafe once (so far) I could not fault the service the price or the food and drinks It was a big enough portion for me and I know if I wanted I could have had a massive breakfast that my friends had but as a small eater I wouldn’t have managed it all and it would like I hadn’t enjoyed it! Keep doing what you do I for one will be back at some point (maybe I’ll starve myself so I can try a big breakfast!) X

Uncooked bacon. And a crust given for toast. Joke. Honestly the worst breakfast I’ve ever had. Left it all and cost me £22. Best part was leaving

Very good food service is first class and the staff very welcoming,

It doesn't look much from the outside, but this is actually a really nice cafe. Traditional yet modern at the same time, with good service and a nice atmosphere.

Cracking breakfast. Like home cooked but without the faff or washing up 👍

Breakfast wasn't up to much need to find different Sausage's

Nice all round pleasant place to eat great well mannered staff Clean and well presented cafe

Great brekkie, as always. Fried bread too!!

The cafe has recently been renovated and is lovely inside. Very good choice of breakfasts and drinks all at reasonable prices. Speedy service with a smile. My only gripes was the sausages were quite bland, the black pudding didn't taste like it had been freshly cooked, and I would have prefered maple syrup with pancakes and bacon, not golden syrup. All being said, I would definitely visit again.

Lovely staff. Amazing looking breakfasts ! Can you please get a way of tipping with the staff via card. Felt terrible had no cash and they deserved a tip.

such a cracking breakfast , the mega bap was very nice , shout-out to the extra friendly staff , especially my server Joe , very keen to help

So nice to have somewhere we can get a lovely breakfast in town and nicely priced to. I will definitely be returning. Such friendly staff makes the morning.

Great little place, quality food and value for money

Freezing, place us really cold, no heating, food was decent but got cold really fast which is a shame. WiFi is not available for customers which is crazy as O2 has no signal

Good service and good food well worth a visit

Breakfast didn't wow me to be honest, toast was burnt. Was all a bit bland. Quick and friendly service though

Very nice breakfast a little on the expensive side £10 for a breakfast and a coffee. Coffee tasted like soil.

Good food, polite staff, prompt service.

Waited 25mins to order, waitresses kept waking past and taking orders from people who came in after us. Won’t go back-

Great food, service and experience. The kids also loved it as they serve pancakes.

Really nice food and friendly staff. Lost my wallet and Mark who works there managed to contact me and brought my wallet to my house. Thanks again Mark!

First time going back since they've renovated and we really enjoyed ourselves. Food was just as good as before with speedy service and lovely staff!

Never had a bad experience. The food is always good and the staff are polite thank you

Hadn’t been for a while and won’t be going back, not surprised it was empty going by the poor quality ingredients used for what was supposed to be a big breakfast. Not well priced and poor quality, so much for trying to support local businesses.

Tasty, filling, nice clean environment, great polite and friendly service 👌

fabulous food an amazing staff grt friendly an clean place to eat out
