Crazy Bear in South Bucks

We were a group of 4 friends who have eaten here many times but will not be back after this visit. we went for Sunday lunch. the menu online bears no relation to the single paper page we were given When the waitress took our order she too was obviously surprised by the menu as she didn’t realise that burger was on the menu & then told us that it didn’t come with any sides so chips were ordered to come with it. when the burger arrived it had chips included with it. as a vegetarian i only had the option of roast pumpkin which sounded nice. as it had no accompaniments i ordered a couple of sides. the pumpkin came & was a slice of roast pumpkin on purée pumpkin. The sides didn’t arrive, we asked 2 waiters where they were, no one came back to us. eventually when we had finished eating the sides arrived - the waitress (who seemed quite senior) was surprised we didn’t want them but said she would take them off the bill. the roast lamb was a very small dish. deserts were ok though only warm, the coffee was cold. Waiting staff walked by & ignored us even when we tried to get their attention. to add insult to injury our bill came with all the sides charge and a 13.5% service charge. sadly we won’t be back.

Having read the reviews, I was tempted not to go, despite having received a voucher for a 7 course tasting menu at the English Restaurant as a Christmas present. But I’m very glad I did. The food was very much at odds with many of the reviews. Flavoursome, refined, and well seasoned. Every course was spot on, and a couple of them (the trofie pasta and the dessert) truly memorable. Confident cooking too, evidenced by letting the core ingredients do the talking, with no unnecessary additions that do nothing for the dish. From what I could glean, there is a new chef there, who has come from a top restaurant. That certainly stacks up, as I know my onions from my shallots, and this chef can really cook. Good service from a young front of house team. I know how difficult it is to staff these places, but they were friendly and smiling, and that counts for a huge amount with me, so lots of latitude given for any minor deficiencies. So I suggest looking past the reviews, and giving it a try. Better still if you can get a discount deal for a taster menu (although might be difficult in the run up to Christmas) as I think the a la carte could get pretty lumpy. That said, even at full price, with cooking this good, you probably won’t be disappointed.

Our main corse was supposed to be pork wellington but they ran out of wellies so all we had was a piece of pork loin with a tsp of gravy on the plate and that was it no vegetables nothing else? Keep your money in your pocket it’s just not worth the money and the place is tired and doesn’t feel clean.

First ever review as normally I'm pretty easy going about life. However our visit was so awful that I thought I should leave a review. We booked a table as a special treat for our teenage son's birthday. Service was very poor- if the waitress could have cared less I imagine she would have. Food was awful. Service was slow. Overpriced!

We came as a family and had the 3 courses for £35 menu. This seems good value, but on review, I actually think it was overpriced. The starters were tasty, roast was good but the portions are fairly small. Dessert was really awful - the sticky toffee pudding in particular had the texture of rubber and the ice cream it came with had completely melted. It had clearly been left on the side for too long. Service was polite and professional, but very slow. I don't think it warranted the £40 service charge added ontop. Sadly I won't be returning.

We checked into the Crazy Bear yesterday, and while the staff at the reception were lovely and the hotel itself exuded opulence, our experience was quite disappointing. The absence of tea or coffee in the bedroom, a standard feature in most hotels, was the first letdown. Additionally, the two cans of water provided were not chilled, and there was no fridge in the room. Having forgotten my toothbrush, I was surprised to find that there were no complimentary toiletries, including a toothbrush or even a tissue box, in the bathroom. Given the price of the room, these basic amenities should have been provided. The lack of cold drinks forced us to order room service, resulting in a charge of £5 for a bottle of water and £5 each for small bottles of lemonade. As someone who has stayed in luxury hotels around the world, these basic conveniences are usually expected without additional charges. Overall, the experience did not meet the standards one would expect for the price, leaving us quite disappointed.

What a disappointing experience we had. The afternoon tea was so poor in quality for th price we paid. Small portions and expensive. Not worth it.

We went here yesterday (22nd) for a friends special birthday meal - having been numerous times before we thought it would be perfect for such an occasion - how wrong we were! The bar that always used to be buzzing was empty, when ordering drinks they came back within seconds wanting payment - we asked to put on our table and they outright said no and stood over us until we had paid! The meal … I’m Gluten intolerant so when ordering i advised them of this. 5 started came out and about 10 mins later my 2 scallops came out… someone else had requested something different with their meal and yet the orginal dish was bought out. When question ‘ well what do you want to do about it’ Mains - now steak should be easy, this was not easy! First of all my dinner came out after everyone else’s again, then they tried to tell my steak was a sirloin, when you could clearly see it was rib eye! We had a discussion about that and they took it back saying I’d have to wait another 15 minutes - by this time everyone else had almost finished theirs - I told them to cancel the order! Then a steak appears - rare! Not how I asked for it at all - again I told them to take it away. We said again how it was for a big birthday and felt the evening had been ruined. They bought out a large plate with very small pieces of cake on it and a candle with happy birthday on it - nice gesture we thought! Then saw it on the bill for £11 … to which they quickly removed it. A table behind us also had the same experience, they walked out after their starter! Such a shame that this place has gone down hill like this.

Booked for a 50th birthday with friends, the food didn’t come out at the same time, our Muscles were not clean and we had send the steak back because it was not sirloin which was ordered, after a debate on the cut of meat they cooked another steak, right cut but this time rare! My friend ended up with no food as she lost the will by this time; to top it all off they tried to charge for the birthday plate. Such a shame, a lot of money spent for a disappointing experience

3 couples dined together at this restaurant for a 50th birthday celebration. We met for pre-dinner drinks in the bar which was very quiet for a Saturday evening. They no longer let you transfer the bar tab to the table, so this had to be settled before moving in to the restaurant. Service started off well enough, but unfortunately for one of our group (who is Gluten Free), her experience was less than ideal. Her starter (scallops) came out as the rest of us were all finishing ours (despite being chased a number of times). And as for her main course (sirloin steak), they served a rib eye. She rejected it as that wasn't what she ordered. A few minutes later the wait staff returned trying to return the steak and argue that the cut was indeed a sirloin. Sorry Crazy Bear, but you are crazy if you think that we can't tell the difference between 2 very different cuts of meat. Off they went again to cook a Sirloin to medium well. 15 minutes later a medium rare sirloin was delivered to the table. By this time, most of the rest of us were finishing our main courses and again this steak was rejected and we asked for this persons meal to be taken off the bill. Not ideal as that person was then hungry and later went to Maccy D's on the way home. My wife and I both had the same starter and main courses. The starter was OK, but didn't seem as fresh as I would expect it to be (cod scotch egg with chorizo). Our main course of Mussels was again OK at best. The mussels hadn't been cleaned properly and were gritty and the size of the mussels was small (cheap). I would also argue that the weight (1000g) of mussels per person is not what was served. We eat a lot of mussels and at best that was 500 to 600g. Maybe 1000g if you add in the weight of the crockery and the sauce. We didn't bother with dessert as it would have been too much of an ordeal. So for 2 courses and a couple of rounds of drinks and 1 bottle of £35 wine, the bill came to £100 per head (between 5 as 1 meal was deducted). And my wife and I left still hungry. All 3 couples have visited the Crazy Bear (Beaconsfield and Stadhamptom) in the past. Unfortunately based on this visit, none of us will be returning. If service and food quality remains at this level, then I'd be suprised if they are still in business by the end of 2024. It's a shame as the Crazy Bear had a great reputation for atmostphere, service and quality food. It's never nice to leave a negative review, but the management really need to up their game as frankly there are much better establishments to spend your money at.

Went for afternoon tea with my friend. Was greeted and sat down. Water was not offered to the table and we had to ask for it. After a few cups of tea, we were told that more tea would mean being charged extra to our bill. This is not stated anywhere. The cakes were not explained to us and we had to ask for more of everything (cutlery, milk, tea) Would have preferred more attentive staff to look after us. The girls were walking around and then all staff called to a 5pm briefing so no staff to be seen. We paid for the bill and were not asked how things were or if anything was wrong. We asked where the toilets were and had no directions. We were then questioned if we had paid our bill? This was extremely rude. As if we would get up and not pay? Rather odd. No one at the door to thank us either.

After reading some of the reviews I wasn't expecting the best but couldn't have been more surprised. Really are you just writing things to get a freebie? The service from start to finish was exceptional, welcomed on arrival we wanted to have a drink before dinner, no problem at all. Served as soon as we found a seat, lovely friendly staff. We were a little late for our dinner but no problem at all. We had the taster menu and every dish was fully explained to us. We were not hurried to have our free champagne we took our time over our meal and had a really fantastic evening. My only ever so slight criticism was the cheese course was not to our taste but overall it was a brilliant experience and the staff were simply lovely.

Emailed in advance to reserve a table for my mothers birthday. Amazing service through email to arriving on site. Very attentive throughout whole meal, very friendly and polite. I’d emailed in advance to inform them it was a birthday and they reserved a beautiful table and even brought a slice of cake and sang happy birthday as a surprise! Was a really lovely touch and greatly appreciated! Food and decor and service all amazing! Thank you so much.

Visited the English restaurant for a birthday lunch. Glad we visited for lunch with great service and atmosphere, food was nice.

We went here as a Christmas present in early 2020 and look forward to doing the same, once possible in 2021.Great food, service and setting. The only shame is we couldn't have stayed in front of the fire for longer after eating! A family favourite.

My mum bought us a gift voucher of £150 to use at Crazy Bear group. Used it towards a BBEM deal. Was not impressed at all. The rooms a very tired broken mirrors on ceiling and bathroom, bathroom flooded due to a blocked shower outlet. Had drinks pre dinner were very expensive to say the least. Thai meal was stunning with great service from Nina After dinner bar service was shocking went to room early as we were fed up waiting to get service. Breakfast was nice with good service. On checking out complained about room and bar service was offered a complimentary tea or coffee No thanks. It wasn't until I returned home and checked my bill there was a service charge on every drink and food utterly shocking given the service received on over priced drinks Total service charge £36.33 My advice is don't use this hotel a pure rip off charging 5 star prices for 1 star service

Visited the crazy bear beaconsfield today 3 degrees outside.Sadly we were given the worst table in the restaurant just through the open main entrance door which the staff leave open which gave us the North Pole wind tunnel effect.Coat on and cold throughout the meal, the duty manager was of no help at all, mentioned he would close the thick curtains which would help but never did.Knowing the restaurant my wife visited in October to book a booth area in the warmer part which Megan took the booking deatails though sadly never noted. (The service of nowadays)Worst table and restaurant experience of 2020.Absolutely no apology from the duty manager or an offer of free drinks.Anyone going to this restaurant this time of year double check that you haven’t been given the number one useless table.No rush to go back Hawksmoor any day in Covent Garden.

Lovely food and ambiance I highly recommend a visit. Be sure to take lots of photos as it’s very hard to try to describe to your friends the fantastic rooms.

I read the other reviews on here before visiting and wasn't expecting much but the entire experience completed exceeded my expectations. Most importantly the quality and taste of the food was absolutely worth the price and to be honest, better than other Michelin awarded restaurants nearby i.e. Sindhu, Hand & Flowers in Marlow. We went on Saturday evening and the restaurant was packed and clearly popular. The hotel / restaurant is very decadent with a high-end feel although not snobby. All the waiters and waitresses we encountered were the loveliest I've ever met. We opted for the a la carte instead of tasting menu and decided on small plates to share / try different dishes. Between 2 people we ordered the 1. seared west coast king scallops, 2. scorched galician octopus, 3. white crab meat and atlantic prawn sliders, 4. grilled lobster tail, 5. confit gloucestershire old spot belly, 6. herb-crusted welsh badger faced lamb kiev, 7. pan-roasted lemon pepper duck. The menu advises 4/5 per person but honestly 3/4 is more than enough. If you get the lamb kiev in particular then it's game over because it's a massive croquette full of shredded lamb inside i.e. portion size like a main. For dessert I asked the lovely waitress for her recommendation and she suggested the honey blondie. I went with this and it became my favourite of the evening - definitely get this if you visit!In my opinion the MUST GETS are:> Scorched octopus with confit chorizo, burrata and padron peppers - crunchy but tender octopus paired with spicy chorizo and soft burrata, such a good combo> Confit gloucestershire old spot belly with bbq glaze and asian sesame slaw - they give you a massive chunk of pork belly with sizeable amount of fat that just melts in your mouth> Honey blondie with popcorn ice cream - a very dense honeycomb cheesecake/biscuit cake as well as popcorn ice cream (!!), any child's dream (and who isn't a child when it comes to desserts)Overall bill came to c.£130 for 2 people but we definitely over-ordered. Nonetheless, this price was completely worth it from the portion sizes to the taste and ambiance of the restaurant as well as broader hotel. Not only were we absolutely full in the end but we thought it was better than some Michelin starred restaurants we'd been too. We also kept saying how we wanted to bring our friends next time to introduce them to this place. Thus, I highly recommend this restaurant whether it's for a date or with the family or for any other occasion!

We arrived a little bit early knowing that the room would be available at 4 pm but, even after asking on numerous occasions if the room was available, we still didn’t get this until after 4 and this was only because I asked again. The bar was full as everyone was waiting for their room at the same time which isn’t feasible. We noticed that the bar was full of stuffed animals on the wall and this is exhibited all around other areas of the hotel which is distasteful and we did not expect this decor. My wife is a vegetarian and the option on the menu is very poor. Also be aware that with all main meals the sides are not included. The breakfast buffet was acceptable but the cooked option menu prices were extortionate. The room was very dark and along from the hotel. Fortunately it wasn’t raining

Very disappointed with the service provided. Food was ok but the level of service needs improvement. Staff did not deliver a great service without additional costs. Had to wait around to find the staff member and everything was a long wait. the groupon voucher was wasted on a bad afternoon tea experience.

Booked afternoon tea has a surprise for our daughter’s 21st birthday. To say she was not disappointed is an understatement. As parents, we have visited before and even with COVID-19 restrictions it was a very pleasant visit.

First thing to mention would be Frederica the waitress who is an absolute credit to your team. Had soup to start which was delicious followed by the lobster tails which again were delicious. Would recommend!

I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The food was lovely, great waiter service and on a Wednesday the champagne is half price. They also provided a birthday dessert which was lovely. Thank you Crazy Bear......

The Wowcher CrazyBear deal is a complete con. I have given them 7 dates so far to be told that none are available. I'm not even trying for weekend dates!! Week days no go too!! but they are still selling the offer!! It seems that Wowcher customers are 2nd class citizens. I bought this offer for my partners birthday and am flexible on dates but I doubt we will get there in the near future. Very disappointed.

We went in for lunch after a trip to Bekonscot model village. First impressions was that it was a bit too cramped but when we confirmed the table next to us wasn't to be used we were able to relax. Service was good, although a bit too "up close and personal" for the current situation. Things like pouring out water etc. should probably take a back seat until this all blows over. That aside (and I know it's difficult, we're all working it out as we go along) service was prompt and friendly.I had the pork chop and my wife had a beetroot salad and the shellfish sliders and it was all superb, desert / cheese was also excellent and the wines by the glass were delicious. All in all, a fantastic meal. You do pay for it though! I understand there are often deals to be had here which would make it great value. As it was, I was fine with the price paid but certainly didn't leave feeling like we had got an amazing deal!

Overpriced and very overrated. Had booked this as a 60th birthday celebration which was noted on my booking. No reference to it, table average, service poor ( a fiver for a warm bottle of water is not acceptable). Food very nice but way overpriced. Menu very complex. £175 for a 1 course lunch for 4 (with only 2 alcoholic drinks is a bit steep unless everything is exceptional). We had coffee outside near the pool where apparently COVID-19 doesn’t exist as there was no social distancing in place. I would avoid this unless you have money to burn, aren’t bothered about good service or catching the virus.

Received the excellent service as well as the deal of chateaubriand and whole lobster plus the nice glass of champagne. We also enjoyed 2 appetizers and 2 side dishes to share. All great. Nduja, the spicy paste that comes with flat breads are addictive. Special thanks to Fede.

Another amazing Sunday Lunch at the Crazy Bear. Never ever disappointed and always come away feeling like we have been treated exceptionally well by all staff. I opted for the soup, chicken and topped it off with the Lemon Meringue Pavlova which was to die for. Cannot wait to return and will be purchasing gift vouchers as christmas presents this year so that my grandparents can experience it too! Have also been to the thai and for afternoon tea which were also exquisite.

, tight company that wouldnt offer a refund for a booking they cancelled and couldn’t fulfil. I had to make other arrangements at a cost of £380. They offered a voucher, being that I didn’t buy a voucher for the year I’m so upset after many emails too and from explaining the situation they were still money grabbing. Covid was tough for everyone and they just had zero compassion for the situation.

Nice tasting food. But cold. Terrible service. Poured our own wine. No waiter pulling out my chair. No social distancing. Diners far too close to each other. Not great at all really.

We popped along for a late lunch to celebrate an 18th birthday and had a great time. Decor looked fab in most of the building but the Moroccan lounge is starting to look a bit tired. The main restaurant area was lovely and one room had been completely redecorated since my last visit...fabulous zebra head decorations and the odd giraffe but too!Lunch set menu was awesome and we all really enjoyed it. Enough choice for fussy eaters too. Steak was definitely worth the supplement. The service was excellent and waiter couldn't do enough to assist us. It was a really lovely experience and only marked as 4 stars as looked a bit tired in places.

I'm not sure how they hire the staff there but the waitresses around the pool and morrocan lounge are awful. So rude. My partner and I were constantly ignored throughout our stay. The day we left we'd sat around the pool, the waitress continued to ignore us even though we were sat right next to where they look busy. She only seemed to lay eyes on the customers over the age of 50. There was also a service charge for everything. I had to walk up to a waitress to ask for a dietcoke and was charged a service charge, same again at night theres no service by the pool so you have to walk in to the bar and get charged an extra 13.5%. The night we stayed we ate in the English restaurant which was nice and the staff were attentive. Following this we then went and sat in the Moroccan lounge where we were ignored, clearly sat with no drinks just talking to ourselves. We then overheard one of the waitresses talking about plumping up pillows as there was nothing else to do... how about pay attention to your guests who are getting ripped off with the ridiculous prices! Rooms are also not what they appear on pictures but thats another matter.

I’m easily pleased and don’t ever leave reviews, but really felt it necessary so people don’t waste their money. Really disappointing trip. We tried to pay for a room upgrade the week before as we found out we were in the Tiny Townhouse. The rude reception staff were completely unhelpful and told us there wasn’t any space when we could see available rooms online. When we arrived we were shown the tiny townhouse which is across the road from the main hotel. the decor was falling off the walls and it smelt foisty. It was 36degrees outside and they were using a portable air con unit in the room with a large pipe being led to the window. So the window was open to let the pipe out so you couldn’t close the blinds. Honestly it was like faulty towers. We couldn’t sleep because the air con unit sounded like a 747 plane coming into landing. We decided to just drink through the pain, unfortunately that was never going to happen as it took half an hour for each drink to arrive and that was only after we chased the waiting staff about 3 times per order to find out where are drinks were. From start to finish it was pretty bad. There’s better places to spend your hard earned £400+ on. Keep searching. This hotel isn’t the one.....I had to give it one star because you can’t leave zero stars.

Been to this restaurant many times, but this visit in August was very disappointing. Called beforehand to request for a table outdoor, which they advise me that they cannot book outdoors, but they are open at 12 Noon with a 1st come 1st serve basis. Not once they advise me that we CANNOT eat outdoor with this set menu from Groupon, otherwise I will not go to this restaurant. With this pandemic happening at the moment, they should be more flexible having people eating outdoors or at least advise them during bookings. If you are just having food in this hotel, please be aware you are not allowed to use the outdoor swimming pool.

Greeted warmly by all the staff. Great atmosphere much friendlier than the experience we’ve had previously in the London Restaurant. Beautiful Decor very luxurious, could do with some more outdoor seating as it’s on a first come first serve basis.... so very lucky to get a table. We ate in the Thai restaurant, had the 12 course tasting menu, changed a couple of the dishes as 2 of our party aren’t keen on red meat. No problem they were more than happy to oblige, food was well presented, great flavours and plentiful.... cocktails & wine were good. Just under £300 for 4 of us with drinks, service charge is steep at 12.5% but service was faultless, very reasonable can’t wait to return.

We received a Groupon gift of Sunday lunch at the Crazy Bear. As we had arrived a little early we went into the bar and had drink while we waited to be seated. There were lots of people enjoying a drink in there and the atmosphere was good.We went through to the English restaurant, and chose 3 courses from a set menu. A glass of Champagne each was included. There was a great choice of dishes. The food was well presented and tasty. The only thing I could complain about was the roast potatoes were not as good as they could be. The decor is quirky, but in places a little tired.The staff were friendly and efficient. Overall it was a lovely present to recieve, and we enjoyed our meal.

Was surprised at the lack of atmosphere and food quality. Food was presented nice and the quality of furniture and objects were of good quality.

I have wanted to visit this restaurant for so many years, and I am glad I finally got to go yesterday! The restaurant is absolutely stunning, the decor and interior inside was absolutely gorgeous!! I had to take a picture of every corner! The food tasted absolutely delicious! The waiters was very friendly and polite! Will definitely be coming back!

Pleasant afternoon but not blown away, would be disappointing if I'd paid full price and not via a deal

With the large amount of money I had spent for 2 nights in a superior room I could have had a lot more luxury somewhere els. The room was dirty when we arrived hair in the bath hair also in the bed the toilet was even dirty and the sink! So cleaned it myself which I was very unhappy about as I weren't sure of the number for reception! The bed was not all that comfy and didn’t get a great night sleep the bathroom floor was really slippery. we went to the English restaurant was basic service and a service charge a 13.5 percent which was laughable as it was basic just like the menu basic menu isn’t a problem but when you pay £200 for food and a few drinks you expect a luxury not what crazy bear offer. Massage was lovely but also way overpriced for just half hour. Not happy with the service as I had told the lady I’m not happy she said oh sorry that was all I got after spending £800 I’m absolutely gutted I wasted my money. Please don’t waste it look elsewhere u pay for decor and that’s it. Which is not even worth it devastated.

Food atmosphere and staff are all second to none. We’ve been twice now and will definitely be coming back again.

Unique restaurant, outstanding service from meet and greet, food and staff. The dishes are out of this world! We had the scallops, o my god! We cannot fault anything, everything was executed to a high standard including the food. It has left our team talking about it weeks on....

We booked this restaurant to celebrate a hen do, however we were very disappointed with the service. The afternoon tea itself was nice but very poor service let our visit down so will not be visiting again

Different, Excellent and good food.

The afternoon tea menu was delicious and plenty of it. Waiter kindly boxed up what was left for us to take home. Only down side was the room was cold and I noticed table near the window had kept their coats on. I hate being cold therefor have marked down on the atmosphere.

The atmosphere is great and the food served just at the right speed, presentation is superb amd the dining experience was overall really great

We stayed overnight and ate in the restaurant. Whilst the rooms are small and tired looking (especially considering the price!!) The food in the restaurant was very nice. The waiter was friendly and efficient and the setting is interestingly perculiar.

We had a lovely time and the food was amazing! Took a while to book a table (month in advance) but so worth it!

I spent around 2 hours in the restaurant which flew by because of how much I enjoyed it. I took my partner as a late Xmas present and it was all and more what I expected!! Very very good and would definitely recommend

Loved the food and the service. Really felt 5 star. Cocktails were very tasty and strong! I had the lobster tails starter and sea bass main while the missus had tomato mozzarella starter and curried sweet potato I think both all dishes were lovely. Also treated to a free bottle of wine for choosing 2 starters which was nice!

We had lovely food. The service was excellent. Love the art decoration and the different themes for the rooms.

Received the voucher for a Christmas gift from my sister. It was a great experience for me and my husband!

Could not fault one single thing about our visit Food was outstanding as was the "craziness" of the restaurant

We were given groupon vouchers for Christmas. We had a really nice 3 course meal with very good friendly service. We weren’t rushed and there was a decent pause between each course. We weren’t forced to have any drinks but enjoyed a glass of wine each. When the bill came it had the service charge set out with percentage. Many restaurants have it added into the price and don’t advertise it except in small letters on the menu so often you pay again with a tip. Unlike one of the comments here I didn’t think the food was rubbish but tasty and although someone said the portions were small, I found it quite enough and deceitfully filling. The one downside is that there aren’t many places to park in beaconsfield that we could tell but luckily managed to park outside.

Excellent food quirky interior definately will be going back we had a 7 course English taster menu highly recommend

Went here for valentines weekend. Food and service was great! The venue is even better than the London one. It’s so pretty

We went for afternoon tea on a Sunday afternoon, group of 6 for a 40th birthday treat. We were seated in the Thai conservatory and it was cold, we asked if we could have a heater (there were a few overhead ones) but were told they couldn’t move them. We weren’t offered a warmer table or to move when others came free. The food was good, plentiful and a good variety. The tea took ages to come and when it did came in three pots; they said they’d run out of tea pots so would fill them up when needed. The refills were forthcoming and quicker than the original order which was good. Overall I didn’t think the service was special; it certainly wasn’t anything like the service we’ve enjoyed on previous trips. I wouldn’t rush to return.

While the food was OK ! your Group On Deal when you break it down is Free Champagne ! The Chateaubriand

Myself and my wife enjoyed an afternoon tea at the Crazybear, through a Wowcher experience. Apart from struggling to find a car parking space, and the over priced champagne, the visit was really good and i'd recommend it.

Good food and atmosphere, something different from the usual restaurant environment. Don't sit in the area overlooking the pool though when a storm is brewing as can get quite draughty/cold in winter, though in the summer probably ok. Staff very attentive and accommodating and moved to a warmer area!

Very Impressive service, food was mostly good with oppulent surroundings. Food didn't match the service or surroundings, the chips were overcooked so solid and lukewarm

Lovely Sunday lunch with friends. Food, ambience, service all excellent. Already planning the return.

I had a 3 course menu as part of my stay at the Crazy Bear. The starter of pork croquets was really good, followed by a chicken main course, again very tasty. Followed up by a light desert finished the meal off very well. Service throughout was very good and attentive. The ambience of the restaurant is quite remarkable with the buffalo heads above the open fireplace and a unicorn head mounted on the side wall. Wine prices were quite expensive especially when you add the service charge, a fiver for a small bottle of still water !

We had a nice Sunday roast. The food was very good and well presented, the staff were excellent. The experience was spoilt bu the numerous stuffed animal heads on the walls. This is Beaconsfield and not some safari lodge in Africa. In particular the horses head with an added horn is very upsetting for an animal lover.

Lovely restaurant. Food choices were good. I had the fish which was lovely. We weren't drinking so can't comment on the wine menu. The menu for the Thai restaurant looked good too so will try that next time.

Amazing, warm friendly service. Excellent food. What a great experience! I hope we can go again soon :-)

Having received a champagne lunch for a gift I was a little disappointed by the below average service , I have been several times before so I know they can do better . The 13.5% service charge was paid as I didn’t want to cause a fuss in front my guest but I would normally have refused to pay it

My experience on the 31st January 2020 was outstanding, what a beautiful place this was. My waiter Christoph was very helpful threw the evening and made us feel very welcoming and Rodrigo was also outstanding with keeping us updated with our meals.

We loved our visit to the crazy bear! Such an absolute joy to have experienced such a unique place and all the delight that goes with it, should be on everyones BUCKET list!!!

Afternoon tea Was a treat on a wet Wednesday afternoon at the end of January I’ve booked seven tickets via Groupon

Having been to the Crazy Bear in Studhampton , out of the two I much preferred it for the setting and atmosphere. The heating in the main restaurant was far too hot , and I have had far better Sunday lunches elsewhere, the roast potatoes were warm and had been reheated. It was difficult to deter which toilets were male and female, and no hand drying facilities to find.

This visit was on Groupon and was excellent value for the 7 course lunch. The restaurant was quiet on a January Monday lunchtime, so there were plenty of staff to provide superb service. Every course was delicious and beautifully presented. The champagne included was very good quality.

A review of the restaurant rather than the hotel:

Good god, this place is mind blowing, never imagined it to be this good, you definitely get what you pay for

It was amazing. We stayed in the hotel on the Wowcher deal. We got the one night's stay, bottle of champagne, glass of bubbly on arrival and 3 course meal deal. We ate the set 3 course menu at the English Restaurant.

Having had a great meal in the Crazy Bear Thai restaurant, we moved over to the hotel for a coffee. When we used the toilets, the lighting was very poor, there were no signs on the doors as to which was the ladies or gents toilets. I opened the wrong door. In the gents toilets I could over hear every conversation in the ladies' toilets. Could have been very embarrassing. Why has the hotel allowed this situation to arise?

Interestingly quirky venue ! The food was good and a nice atmosphere with friendly staff .

My Husband had booked us in for Champagne Afternoon Tea as a birthday surprise for me. We had a lovely time, everything was spot on. Would highly recommend this place as a treat for someone. Great service and food along with a great visual experience.

For £59 there the choice of sandwiches, cakes and teas very limited. If you order extra tea they charge more. For that price I would have expected unlimited sandwiches, cakes and teas.

We bought a Crazy Bear Sunday lunch voucher to include a glass of champagne. The whole lunch was very nice including starters and dessert, the presentation was excellent, the staff were also very good, good atmosphere and lovely afternoon.

Great food , great cocktails a super quirky room, lots of fun amazing steak and strawberry sundae Lots of choice on the menu we had 2 courses 2 sides and shared a desert ... extremely full

Used a 50% off Groupon voucher for a 7 course tasting menu. Nice food, well presented but portions are tiny. Good service. loud music. Worth a try if you are not starving hungry.

Great ambience, tentative staff. Read lots of comments on the prices but would say that it’s worth the visit and you can judge for yourself if it’s worth paying for the experience. We certainly enjoyed our time there and would visit again.

Super good foods. We did enjoy the cocktails and foods. Excellent quality of food and service. Thanks to having us 👍

Was a lovely lunch eventually,, the initial reception and greeting wasnt good and went to the table a tad annoyed, jackets weren't taken and had to take it to reception myself in the end, menus took a while to come and had to wave down a waitress to ask for our first round of drinks, the overall start was poor... Thankfully the waiting staff/supervisor and chefs quality cooking really showed how good the service can be, the food was impeccable, a selection of great balanced dishes, great cocktails and a good wine selection..., a friendly and obviously experienced knowledgeable Italian staff member called Manuela really had and eye for detail and made the whole experience exceptional for my girlfriend's birthday even whilst cooking crêpe Suzette for another table.. As a man who's been in the industry for 20 years..she reminded me of why i still do what I do... Thank you for saving the day to front and back of house!!

Ottimo locale con cocktail deliziosi e location molto particolare. Prezzi elevati ma davvero adeguati per la qualità dei drink. L'area bar è l'area ristorante hanno due stili diversi ma entrambi molto particolari.

I bought a group on deal for afternoon tea and visited with family. The atmosphere, service and quality of food is excellent and is really good value for money. I would highly recommend The Crazy Bear

Excellent venue for NYE Saxophonist brilliant Food choice & quality best for the last couple of years ! Overall throughly enjoyed.

Groupon voucher gift to my daughter. Service poor. Food ok but have allergies and no real decent alternative. Cakes all stale. Sandwiches were lovely. Unlikely to revisit.

This was our second visit to the Crazy Bear, Beaconsfield for our office Christmas lunch. Both times the food was lovely, great service and an unusual restaurant setting. Very easy to book via email and we will come again.

I purchased an afternoon festive tea here for my friend as a christmas gift.

Lovely lunch for New Year’s Day. The ambiance, food & champagne were excellent. Can’t wait to return .

Just go and experience it for yourself it truly is and evening of eye candy with some fabulous food that is very fair on the pocket......so 10 out of 10 for eyes, tummy and pocket.

Wow, what a great experience! Lovely food and great service. I cannot remember the ladies name who served us but she made our day. Top notch!

We had a lovely afternoon tea here, The cakes and sandwiches were lovely, the Christmas cocktail that came with it was lovely, that we had a few more. Lovely place to catch up with friends some were totally different than a normal pub. A bit more expensive but worth it for a change,treat. Would definitely go back.

If you want to be ripped off in faded tacky decor this is your venue. The value for money aspect does not concern this establishment whatsoever. The surf and turf is more similar to a prawn with two extremely small slices of beef. No chips included. I am not a big eater but I left hungry. The surf and turf was nearly £40 per head. Our bill was extreme for what we had. The cocktails are also very pricey and mine was mainly ice. My best advice is stay away unless you enjoy being taken and shaken. Never again

A very special way to share a memorable Christmas dining experience with your family. Great atmosphere, excellent food and drink choices and friendly staff.

Great place, excellent food, well priced. Set menu was excellent and good champagne to start proceedings. Not rushed and food excellent. Will be booking again for next year.

An enjoyable experience. Would definitely do and recommend again. Good food in a relaxed and comfortable environment. Many thanks.
