Bears Paw Country Inn & Restaurant in Cheshire East

Drove past with my girlfriend and we thought it looked like a nice place so turned around and popped in. Its very warm and welcoming with very friendly staff. Was intrigued by the specials board and so we both decided we would have some food as well as a drink. I have to say the food was definitely up there with the best we have had while dinning together. We will 100 percent be back soon such a hidden gem. Unfortunately we didnt take any photos of the food as was to busy enjoying every mouthful.

This pub is suburb. Firstly the service is always so good and lovely to see the same staff there. the food especially Sunday dinner is delicious and always busy so book.we have taken friends there whom have equally enjoyed the food and experience. highly recommend well done and congratulations on a great pub !

Best food, staff, atmosphere. Will definitely be back. The food was amazing!! Compliments to the chef. Cannot wait to try the Sunday lunch!!

Having booked for lunch over the phone well in advance, we arrived on time, to be told there was no sign of a booking made in my name.. i was then 'interrogated' as to when exactly I had made the booking, and with whom.. the two female members of staff were dismissive and made excuses as to why there was no booking. I told them I had asked for e-mail confirmation and was told. 'we're too busy to do that'.. It was my birthday and had arrived with family members, we were all shocked by the 'reception' we were given.. there was no indoor table available.. as it happens, the place looked overcrowded, dark and pokey.. somewhat uninviting.. We had not been to the Bears Paw before, and will not be returning.

Had a drive out and decided to have lunch. Called in on off chance of a table. Were not disappointed! Very busy restaurant and we were lucky to get a table - piping hot food, crispy chips and attractively presented. Although very full could not resist bread and butter pudding - will definitely return for more delicious food. Very pleasant experience altogether. Thank you!

We stumbled across this wee gem … the atmosphere was extremely welcoming and homely with a touch of class. Staff were friendly and attentive and the food ….. truely amazing ! The presentation was superb and the quality was high class. Wish it was closer to Scotland as we would be a regular Saturday night visitor.

After being recommended the Bears Paw bu some good friends, my husband & I decided to give it a go for a casual lunch. Well, I wish we hadn't. The inside of the pub was very uninspiring, no atmosphere and the staff were helpful but miserable. I ordered grilled goats cheese with caramelised onion, walnuts & honey. The goats cheese was grilled to slightly warm on top cold and solid underneath, the accompaniments were basic it was very unappetising. My husband had a Prawn starter which he said he enjoyed. Mains I had salmon, ver & chips, salmon over cooked and dry, veg overcooked & tasteless, chips undercooked in the middle, very disappointed. Hubbies had sea bass, very & new potatoes. One fillet of seabass when 2 were stated on the menu, vegs over cooked and new potatoes ok. Couldn't wait to get out. :(

Went for lunch with my mum and everything was perfect as always. Lovely staff and a great atmosphere. The food was absolutely gorgeous and i’m going to be thinking of the camembert wedges for days 😍

Sat out the back in the sheltered gazebo. It’s a sun trap. Lovely beer and the full three courses which has pushed the waistline. Sweetcorn fritters, 3 of them and crispy, roast beef served pink with extra gravy and a good horse radish. Sticky toffee pudding to finish off. Good service, never left wanting for anything. Well worth the visit here !

Waste of money ignorant staff. Stop of at Mac Donald’s down the road! Avoid it like the plague! Absolutely disgraceful

Family meal x 4, excellent service and comfortable seating. All our meals were outstanding and the service top notch! We will be back soon! Thank you

The Bears Paw has been a family favourite for a few years now and today was no exception. We visited to celebrate a birthday. We were warmly welcomed by Kieran, who really looked after us throughout our visit. The food is always delicious, beautifully prepared and a great choice to choose from either a set menu, main menu or specials board. Today we had duck spring rolls and cod goujons for starters and lasagne for mains (which came with a lovely mixed salad and garlic bread), all very reasonably priced. We travel for nearly an hour to dine at this Inn but it is always well worth it. We look forward to seeing you all on Mother's Day for another celebration! Many thanks

Had a really enjoyable family meal for six people here on a Sunday afternoon. The place was rammed but when I had eaten I understood why. Great service great food and very reasonably priced.

Although we do not live close to the Bears Paw we feel that it is worth the 45 minute drive and heartily wish we had an establishment of this quality near to us!

Title says it all really. We decided to call in to the Bears Paw yesterday evening with our small dog - a couple of people had mentioned they go and the food is nice.

A fabulous eatery run very well by the on-site proprietors Jason and Mel.

Visited along with a number of friends, for mid week lunch. Very friendly reception from the staff and the service and food were very good. There is a special lunch menu in addition to the main menu, and there’s something for everyone. I went for the steak and ale pie with new potatoes - first class. Cod goujons for a starter - very good.

Roadside pub on the main Knutsford to Warrington Road. Main menu with 2 or 3 course deals plus specials boards for starters, mains and snacks. Friendly attentive staff and a choice of local ales. Traditional menu and the food was delicious

Called in today for lunch, staff very welcoming, interior beautifully done, lovely tables and chairs.

Visited at the end of January with my friend to celebrate my special birthday.

We had a fabulous lunch, we opted to mix the set menu with the specials and had lovely roast beef and excellent beef medallions. The prawn pancake for a starter was second to none. Staff were courteous, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Called in for sunday lunch. We had never been before but my friend told me she had heard good reviews from friends.

I have eaten here as a couple, with family and with friends. The food and service are always good. You may have to wait a little for service but all meals are hot and we'll presented.

Love this small, cosy place. Great food, welcoming, friendly staff. We ate near the fire on a cold, wintry day & it was lovely & relaxing.

We received a warm welcome. We hadn't booked a table, but this was not a problem. We were swiftly shown to a table and presented with menus.

yet again another stunning meal. we eat here about once every couple months and never had a bad meal yet. our family also eat here and again they love the place. service by the staff is great, very friendly and helpful, this time we were served by mel who is very polite and cheerful. my wife had beef stroganof which was lovely, i had the thai red curry which is made from scratch so can have it a spicy as you want, it was one of the best curries ive ever had, well recommended. and for dessert we always have the ticky tacky pudding (sticky toffee pudding) which is one of the nicest we have ever had.

Wonderful friendly helpful staff, upgraded our room as Silver wedding anniversary, provided us with glasses so we could have a champagne toast in our room. Food is beautiful rooms are gorgeous and all-round fantastic experience. Thank you for a lovely stay

Nice to visit a really decent but dowb to earth country pub / restaurant. Huge greetings on arrival and made to feel very welcome. Nicely busy so a good idea to book !!

We visited The Bears Paw today for my friends 50th birthday.

Brilliant service and food at a really reasonable price The menu was good with plenty of specials we had the traditional Sunday dinner and it was simply excellent there is nothing else to say

We had a wonderful family gathering in December just before Christmas at The Bears Paw. We had booked the small private room which worked well for about 17 of us. The food was simple, well cooked and great value for money. All in all just what we wanted. Many thanks

Good food, nice cozy atmosphere, quiet, no hassle from staff. Thoroughly recommend this establishment for a family meeting or an evening of social conversation. Goid foid too!

As part of our project to find the best pubs in North Cheshire, we called in the Bear's Paw last week, and what an excellent surprise ! Food was superb - I had the lamb Henry which was the best I have ever had, and my wife had the breaded pork which was delicious. Staff were very friendly, and menu prices were very respectable, especially when you consider that all the food was freshly cooked. Compared to all of the local chain pubs, where the chefs are a bunch of kids who serve food straight from the freezer to the microwave, this place is a revelation. Beer was also perfect, and before we left, we booked again !!

We were travelling up to Liverpool in our motor home with our Border Collie. We were able to park in the wide lay by opposite the pub, where there is a public footpath to walk the dog. We enjoyed a couple of pints in the cosy bar where Monty was given a bowl of water and lots of cuddles. We then had a lovely meal in the restaurant (no dogs), decent portions of well cooked food. The staff were very friendly and efficient and there was a nice atmosphere. We look forward to our next visit.

We haven't been hear for a while Completely refurbished 'very nice'. Food was delicious, the staff very welcoming and attentive, we don't travel that way much now but will certainly time it right when we do. Wonderful menu, was spoilt for choice.

Visited here whilst staying nearby on a short break. Found it through trip advisor and seemed to have positive reviews.

We come here regularly and always have a brilliant time. Fabulous food and wonderful staff. Also nice location and lovely rooms.

Food is excellent, service great, Staff are always helpful, polite and welcoming. Visit here with friends on a regular basis, for lunch and dinner, never disapointed.

Excellent home cooking and service, very good value for money. The refurb is also very smart. Cannot fault. Happy!

Delicious food in a cosy friendly atmosphere. Good value for money. A gem of a place. No hesitation in recommending....but would suggest you book so you are not disappointed 😊

We had a nice warm welcome in this cozy pub. Excellent service with good home cooked food at a good price. Lots of specials on the board as well as the main menu. A very enjoyable visit on a cold winters day.

I have been dining here with my elderly mother on Christmas Day now for a number of years and The Bears Paw never disappoints. The food is superb, as are the staff. We are looked after so well, thank you.

Great atmosphere, fabulous food and wonderful service. What more could you ask for. Would definitely recommend. x

Four covers 22 December 2018 3 courses each, a truly delightful meal. The food was delicious, well presented and generous. The staff were exemplary and a credit to the management. Can’t wait to go back in the New Year Well done Bear’s Paw!

A warm welcome from the friendly staff, the set lunchtime menu is amazing value for such excellent well presented food. The interior is tastefully decorated and the toilets are absolutely spotless, always a good sign. Will be our regular Saturday lunchtime treat from now on, would recommend to anyone.

Ticked all the boxes. The food was excellent with a choice of set menu, Xmas menu or the pretty extensive specials list. Opted for the 3 course set menu which was very reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly. Adequate car parking. First time here and would definitely go back.

A cosy pub on the outskirts of Knutsford. Run by one family they serve traditional pub food. There’s something for everyone and a specials board adding variety to the dishes on the main menu. Refurbished a year ago it is cosy with open fires. There is a set menu served till two each weekday

Went with a friend for a birthday meal. The menu is very varied, something for everyone, and very reasonable. The atmosphere and staff are very welcoming. Beautifully and tastefully decorated for the Christmas season. Staff very helpful and attentive. We both had the fish and chips, and, as has previously been mentioned, it is amazing

We enjoyed delicious home cooked food here. One of our party has recently become gluten free and Kieran was so helpful, with plenty of gluten free options on the menu. We all enjoyed our food, we had 3 courses and we all cleaned our plates. The portions were generous, with reasonable prices. We will definitely be returning.

An old pub converted to a very good restaurant but still retains a small bar for drinks only. This is a very popular place for a reason, the food is very good and service with a smile. It is not cheap but the quality is very good. There is a nice look & feel to the rooms, the smallest room can be a little tight if you prefer space but overall the experience was very good, really enjoyed the well cooked food and a decent wine menu. The menu has something for everyone with a specials board. There is ample parking in the car park and opposite in the layby! Book in advance, they are very busy at weekends, especially Sunday and even midweek.enjoy!.

We visited this lovely pub recently on a cold and windy evening and cannot fault our visit in any way. We were shown to our table by a very pleasant lady and it was lovely to see the log burner blazing away. So cosy and welcoming.

As a family we went for late Sunday Lunch. We were shown our table which was perfect for our party size. The drinks order was taken, whilst we studied the menu, based around but not exclusively roasts. Food was plentiful, and hot with the veg being more than we could finish, though we didn't leave much. Service was friendly and efficient, such that though this was our first visit, it won't be the last!

I visited on 31st October with my mum after buying a Travelzoo voucher several weeks ago.

I have been here twice within a few days. The white painted Inn sits on the main A50 road between Knutsford and Warrington, so easy to get to with a roomy car park. The little garden is beautifully kept and the building with the look of an old farmhouse is attractive, although its large signs look out of keeping and have no apostrophe! The interior has been refurbished in tones of grey with comfy seating. It is very small inside with tables tightly close together, (I believe plans to extend have been turned down repeatedly which is ridiculous) but the acoustics are extremely good, so you can hear your group speak, but can’t hear other people. I have enjoyed the food and the lunch special menu is good value. We had to order in advance for a large group (I hate that!) so it was nice on the second visit to have free range. I would describe the food as very wholesome and think the Starters particularly good, but sorbet at £5.75 we all thought exorbitant, the main content being water. Service was ok. I will go again. It’s nice.

Staying at the Premier Inn, I prebooked the Premier Breakfast at Bears Paw. Although the 'Full English' was cooked to order, the rest of the buffet had obviously been around for some time and the coffee was stewed in its Thermos. Not an appetising start to the day and staff probably knew this as they were conspicuous by their absence.

Finally open after 7 months closed, due to horrendous fire. Beautifully refurbished, still under the ownership of Mel and Jay, food is as good, if not better than before, be sure to book a reservation!

Bueno, finalmente escuchó informes reservar una mesa y nos fuimos antes de Navidad con mis padres ancianos. ¡Fue genial! La cerveza era exuberante, la comida era deliciosa, los padres pudieron elegir porciones más pequeñas, todo bien. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente. Relación calidad-precio es excelente - a mitad del precio de otros lugares en Lymm y en realidad también mejor que ellos.

This is a great place to eat, certainly good food we have been several times and keep going back, says it all. The service is good and atmosphere lovely. You do need to book though, because of its popularity.

Tuvimos un almuerzo tarde y estábamos solos la mayoría del tiempo que afectaba a la atmósfera un poco. Es un típico "viejo mundo" con un restaurante pub británico centrarse más en la comida que beber. En invierno la chimenea fue muy bienvenido. El menú era extenso y la calidad buena. No es de alta calidad, buena relación calidad-precio es saludable. Las bebidas también estaban bien de precio. Teníamos un bebé y fueron capaces de proporcionar el necesario para calentar la comida de bebé que tuvimos con nosotros. Lápices y papel para un niño pequeño también estaban disponibles. El bajo el sol por las ventanas, era un poco de un problema porque de donde nos sentamos, pero no sería un problema en la mayoría de las partes. Es importante reservar.

Visitamos en un grupo familiar con un bebé. Hemos comido un par de veces anteriormente, y realmente disfrutamos de nuestra comida. Encantador y acogedor pub antiguo, con un personal muy acogedor. Nos sentamos en la zona de snug, que era bastante estrecha, y nos cuenta que el bebé cochecito no estaba ayudando a asuntos. Sin embargo, el personal no podría haber sido más servicial y encantador, poniendo a mi hija en casa. Algunos de nosotros elegimos en el menú principal, otras desde el menú de 3 platos y especialidades domingo, excelentes opciones, de todos. La comida es deliciosa, carne asada y cordero asado, encantador con patatas asadas y yorkshires. Curry y Lasaña, incluyendo otras opciones, eran todos disfrutamos. Pudines deliciosos! ! Recomendaría, asegúrate de reservar!

Día visité en boxeo con mi familia. El menú era genial y todas las comidas eran deliciosos. El pub es precioso por dentro, sin embargo, podrían mejorarse añadiendo unos persianas en las ventanas, tuvimos que menús cinta a la copa que nos se quedará impresionado por el bajo sol de invierno!

Had an excellent meal here - staff are so friendly and welcoming. Tasty food and really great atmosphere :)

He conducido el pasado este pub durante muchos años y nunca lo probé, después una familia vuelta lymm damm y sin éxito conseguir una mesa para nosotros 14 llamé a paw osos, nos alojaron en el último momento en el snugg, Pat y su equipo nos dieron la bienvenida a la llegada, fue para el servicio de mesa y no el orden usual en el bar que es tan común en estos días.

Four of us went to the Bears Paw on Wednesday evening. We arrived at 7.15pm and where made most welcome. The room was warm and cosy and the Christmas 3 course on offer was absolutely delicious. Staff where very helpful and we didnt feel at all rushed. All in all we had an amazing time and I would not hesitate in recommending this establishment to anyone. Well done to you all and a very Merry Christmas.

Went by chance on our way from Wales home when the Motorway was backed up so came off, and was very impressed with the quality of the food ,only just got in at 7.0clock before the crowds arrived ,exellent

Had our family Christmas meal there on Saturday and I can't recommend it enough. They have a varied specials board and you're honestly stuck for choice. The staff were exceptionally accommodating of our party's varying dietary needs and it helps that food is made fresh. Fresh pouring cream in the liqueur coffee, none of this squirty artificial cream cheat and just little touches like poinsettas in the toilet, they all contribute to a modern pub with traditional values that cares about it's customers.They are flexible and personable too and it is so refreshing to find this in a world of 'computer says no'. Thank you Bears Paw staff for a wonderful evening.We will be back for sure, I'm already planning the next celebration!

Several interesting menu choices and the food was well-presented. It was worth making the journey out to this pub which I had not visited for many years.

We had a lovely window seat although overall, this was a small restaurant. It was, however, very efficiently run and the Food was excellent. I particularly enjoyed a very good cut of Roast Beef followed by a delicious Eton Mess. The bill for four of us was very reasonable including wine. The Argentinian Malbec was of special mention.

First visit to the establishment despite passing it on a regular basis. Have lived in Lymm for several years and sampled quite a few of the many pubs and restaurants in the vicinity but have to say this one is definitely THE BEST.The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. The food, of which there was plenty to choose from, was also excellent. 5 adults and 5 children ranging in age from 9-80 and not one complaint. Will definitely visit again especially in the warmer months when we can enjoy the courtyard garden. Will definitely recommend to all and sundry.courtyard gar

We called in here one midweek lunchtime. This place is popular and it's obvious why. The food was excellent. There's an extensive Menu, and there's smaller portion options for those with less of an appetite. We ordered Steak & Ale Pie Chips, Veg and Fish & Chips. For dessert the Eton Mess was very nice. The Staff are very friendly and helpful. It's recommended to book a table to avoid disappointment. Will definately return.

I have visited the Bear's Paw Inn twice and both times found it to be warm and welcoming. The food was really really good and the atmosphere was very relaxing. On my visits I saw couples celebrating quiet milestones, groups of friends catching up and "regulars" who stop in for a pint. By my second visit the waitresses knew me by name and I felt as if I was at my own local pub, despite being many miles from home. Very few restaurants can boast such fantastic service. With out a doubt, I will be returning whenever I am in the area.

Went here with the wife and in laws all of the table were more than happy with they're food the roast in particular my mother in law said it was the best she's had in a pub! Great service also, so definitely recommend this place it's a gem!

The menu, including specials, was diverse and I was spoilt for choice. I intended to have one course but ended up with three.The interior is well spaced and there was lots of room between tables.The restaurant is very accomadating for dogs, with all of the staff being very friendly towards our 2 very well behaved dogs

Went to the Bears paw for Sunday lunch. My beef was fantastic and my wife had the turkey which was also very good. My father in law had the steak pie which he also rated well. It was very reasonable in price. The staff very very friendly and the place had a great atmosphere. The toilets were clean and modern. If I had one criticism it was that they should make their own Yorkshire puddings not get Aunt Bessie's because the rest of the food was top dollar.

Cause to celebrate for a friend who is out today with us ,the first time for 3months after a serious illness. A little sad that that his wife was down with tummy bug and was absent. We did toast missing friends and enjoyed the food and atmosphere of our favourite pub. Mine host Pat was in fine form and needless to say the lunch menu was as good as ever. Back soon.

Visited a week ago and the food was delicious, such a wide variety. Staff were very accommodating of my son (he has special needs and various likes/dislikes). Our visit was a trial run for a Christmas get-together and we were so impressed, I have just booked our family meal with them. We all enjoy welcoming staff, good wholesome food and a cosy atmosphere so I figured this was just the right place. Looking forward to our return.

Our first choice when dining locally with friends. nice atmosphere, varied menu ,well cooked meals served with a smile.

Fab Gins now on sale and great food freshly prepared and very friendly service. We eat here at least twice a week and have always had a fab meal and service is second to non. Lovely homely country pub makes a change in a world of corporate pubs !!This place is great in summer as it has a lovely outside garden and patio area.Well worth a visit and Christmas is lovely here.

The Bears Paw is a great place for a meal or just a drink . Jason, Mel and the team are always welcoming and can't do enough for you. We like to go somewhere every week and that somewhere is the Bears Paw. Great menu, with lots of typical favourites and a specials board which changes all of the time. We are at home here and the plastic doesn't take a spanking either

Following a lovely day out my husband, son and I fell upon this gem. We had a fabulous meal, the staff were very welcoming and my son who is 10yrs old and a restaurant reviewer already wants this restaurant placing on our 'to return' list. He watches all the cooking programmes and likes nice food! Thank you for such a nice welcoming evening.

I went to the Bears Paw for lunch with family and friends. It was my first time there but all the others had been before and spoke very highly of it. They all enjoyed their lunches and the fish and chips proved very popular. The problem for me is that I am vegetarian and although it was advertised and 'vegetarian friendly' there was very little choice. I could have a risotto with walnuts and peaches (which really didn't appeal to me- peaches and rice being a very strange combination) or baked potato with beans and cheese. I went for the baked potato and I was transported back to the bad old days of 1970's vegetarian options- soggy potato with baked beans and almost non-existent cheese. Would it have been too hard for the chef to be a bit more imaginative? There are any number of pasta dishes or Indian dishes which can be made in advance for the unexpected vegetarian diner. While I appreciate that my requirements may be annoying for chefs (Gordon Ramsey is always complaining about veggies) I was left with the impression that it would really be better if I had stayed away.

Ended up at this lovely place tonight(Saturday 22nd October), managed to get a table service was spot on food was amazing definitely will be going back worth booking to avoid disappointment x

I had only eaten here once before during the week and enjoyed the food so decided to book for Sunday lunch. I am glad we booked as the pub was very busy when we arrived at 1pm. Our table was soon ready and we were quickly served with drinks. We had to wait a little time to order food, but they were busy. Between us we has roast lamb, roast beef and duck. Everyone said there food was lovely, tender meat and nicely cooked vegetables. For anyone not wanting a roast dinner there was an extensive a la carte menu and specials. Apparently the chef is the owner, and he clearly cares about what he is offering his customers. Couldn't manage more than a sorbet for desert but there were plenty of other options. We will certainly go back.

Stayed here on the way travelling south to visit friends, absolutely magic place, first class all round, room , food and staff. So booked to stop over on the way home the following week, same again, great room, food and staff, and they fussed so much over my Westie, love it.

I was looking for somewhere nice for us to take my son and his girlfriend for lunch, before dropping them at Manchester Airport.I checked out TripAdvisor and am so glad that Bear Paw came up.The experience was sensational. Lovely warm welcome. Perfectly paced service, but best of all, superb food.So good that we are already talking of our next visit for lunch, from Yorkshire. A two hour round trip, but it will be well worth it.

We went today for lunch to celebrate my Birthday and collect our free bottle of wine and had a lovely lunch. We have been visiting the pub/restaurant since 1963 and were actually there on the night that JFK was murdered as friends of ours were the licencees.We visit several times a year and are always delighted with our visits, The food and wine and the staff are brilliant. We always come home having eaten too much! Well woth a visit but do book first as they are very popular.

Called on the off chance on a Sunday afternoon. Place was fully booked but the staff were so welcoming, helpful and accomodating and found us a table in the bar area.Food was very good and reasonably priced and the cask ales were well kept and poured to perfection.Very impressed with the Bear's Paw, the food, the staff and the atmosphere were delightful.No wonder it was so busy. Would recommend booking in advance!

Outstanding. From the decor, the drinks to the excellent food. We were pleasantly surprised from the moment we walk in and received friendly greetings from Clair and Jill and had immediate seating despite the fact we had made no reservation. Lovely atmosphere. Great menu to choose from and food was superb!! From the soup, through the main course and including the hot waffles and ice cream for dessert. Absolutely delicious. Service was excellent, too. Don't miss this gem!!

The four of us were spoiled, so many lunchtime choices available from a very appealing specials board. No need for dinner tonight, having had a nicely presented and generous deep fried whitebait starter, then my first ever guinea fowl, perfectly accompanied with bacon bits and leek, and freshly prepared new potatoes and vegetables. Sampled the cask ale too, so thanks to my wife for acting chauffeur. Can't finish without complementing the friendly informal staff (Pat & Jill?)

Called for light lunch, but Specials so tempting had full main lunch. Belly Pork delicious, veg great, chips fantastic. My fiancé chose the Steak & Ale pie. Once again, fabulous. I struggled to finish and off-loaded one of my two slices of black pudding to my other half.No room for pudding, sadly! Maybe not suitable for children inside, not a lot of room, but plenty of space outside and garden area.

Drove out for tea at the Bears Paw & was not disappointed. Soon as we arrived we were sat at our table, great choice on the menu. Decided on the pie which was delicious & a good size portion. Very friendly staff. I will return.

Great service friendly staff best of all great food. Highly recommend a visit to everyone. Have visited on more than one occasion over past three years and will be there this week end and I am looking forward to my visit.

Everything was good at the beers paw. Loved it good food, good service, lovely atmosphere. Will go agin

we visited the Bears Paw for Sunday lunch having not been for a while. The food was amazing, very tasty with decent portions (huge yorkshire puddings are always a great sight). The staff were friendly and the service was attentive without being intrusive.

I drive past this pub / restaurant a lot and the car park is always busy.Finally got round to 4 of us going for dinner on Bank Holiday Monday. I only called at 5pm and they fit us in at 5.30pm.There's lovely outside space where you can enjoy the surroundings and have a drink.Inside it's mostly dining space.Decor is very traditional and quaint - very cosy. Tables quite close together so much would have been nice otherwise it feels a bit like you're eating with strangers.Very large menu with option for everyone. Plus extensive specials board. Prices very fair. Our starters were all tasty - my deep fried goats cheese (£5) was delicious! They bring some bread for the table which was nice. Main courses we had 2 substantial fish and chips, the pie special (£9) and the lamb special (£13). Everything was delicious and all plates scraped clean! Staff welcoming, loads of parking, well located and easy to find, very good prices.

Very nice Sunday lunch in traditional English pub. Good value too. We would definitely go back another time.

As usual, we had a fantastic lunch. Its often very busy on a Friday, so it is best to book ahead. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the food always freshly prepared and different - you are never stuck for choice as there is something to suit all tastes and appetites! The quality of the food is second to none and it is not expensive.

Had a two course meal, starter and main. Shown to a lovely table. Started with cheese wedges with breads and oils, followed by sea bass for me and prawn and salmon salad.Delicious! And staff lovely!!

Last night 4 of us had a really good meal and some excellent beer on a very busy evening even though we had to wait about 50 mins for our food from ordering. However, nobody came at anytime to ask if everything was satisfactory. Towards 10pm at least two of the staff were intent on clearing everything from the tables and setting up for Sunday's meals. The expressions on their faces were grim and unfriendly as they busied themselves. We had a distinct feeling we were not wanted even though it is supposed to be a pub open til 11pm! I asked for the bill and was presented with a till type one which was just dropped onto the table without any comment.If you were wondering why no tip was paid then I suggest you attend to the manners of your staff and try to be more welcoming and pleasant...it doesn't cost anything you know!

We popped into today for lunch without reservation, and they were fantastic at accommodating my mum / brother 4 children and I - despite being very busy This place is a little gem, and really is a delightful Country Inn, with great atmosphere, wonderful home cooked food and charming staff who couldn't have been any better. We look forward to seeing you again in the future ! Thanks again - the Loudon Family
