I come to maidenhead once a year to get my car serviced at a specialist. I always come to the Bear for a breakfast, had the large. So good I was compelled to write this review. Really well cooked perfect running yolks, really tasty. Today is 26.04.2024 and the chef deserves the recognition, i did ask the server to pass on my compliments. All the staff were friendly. Free refils on the teas and coffee are a good shout. Thanks

This weatherspoons is a favourite of mine. Situated in the town centre it is a great venue for breakfast or lunch. We find the breakfast to be the best in the area and always cooked to perfection. Staff and friendly and welcoming and many local people meet here.

Lovely pub with great staff and good customers but the younger generation are allowed to do what they like especially blocking fire exits which could have the pub shut down. I will go elsewhere.

🐻🍻🥘 The Bear in Maidenhead High Street has been here forever and is probably the most famous landmark in the entire town other than the townhall itself! Weatherspoons do this stunning establishment perfectly with a great selection of beers ales stouts and lagers. There's an excellent food menu, and it's just one of those places that takes you back in time (for me to my 20s when it was a hot spot for the social circuit!). The staff are friendly and welcoming. Just drop in and enjoy!

How disappointing that after previously telling them not to block fire exits as it is against fire regulations, a group of Asian gentlemen were allowed to do so. I'm a regular and need this pub to stay open.

We noticed some bad recent reviews and decided to see for ourselves. We weren't disapppinted. The Bear has a pleasant atmosphere with friendly staff. Warm and cosy on a very chilly day., especially upstairs. As usual Wetherspoons respect the history of the building and its surroundings, an important feature of their business model which distinguishes them from many other chains. Food very good - lovely tender steaks.

We visited this Wetherspoons whilst in the area and thought it was not like others we had visited. Half the beer was not available, the food was cold and what we ordered half of it was not received until we asked where it was. The men’s toilet was disgusting with toilet paper blocking two of the urinals . Yes it is a weatherspoons but not to their normal standards

Worst customer service I have ever had. My food was cold and undercooked chicken. Had to ask for a manager 3 times before a very uninterested manager in a green dress made the situation worse as I had to come to the bar to even ask if I was even refunded. Then did not even so much as sorry. It was busy and I respect that but how can any manager except this?!? What a terrible example of how to manage a business. It's a spoons and we all don't expect great service but this is really bad and I will be getting EHO evolved to protect the other customers who visit. So very disappointed

Just had the most awful experience at The Bear in Maidenhead this evening. My daughter drove and we parked on the street, opposite, a little way down from the pub around 7pm. As the car in front had parked badly, it left us with a much smaller space to park in, otherwise we’d encroach into the vacant disabled bay behind us. Having got out to guide her as close as possible to the car in front, I was suddenly confronted by an angry man telling me that we had just hit the car in front. I told him we had not. He then told me that we couldn’t park it there as we hadn’t left enough space between us and the car in front. I pointed out that the car in front had about four foot of space between the front of it and the next car because it was so badly parked. I asked him if it was his and, if it was, could he park it in the marked bay. He became abusive and I told him that if it wasn’t his, and as we had not hit it, perhaps he should go back to whatever it was he was doing before he started wrongly accusing my daughter. When we got to the front door of The Bear, there he was, standing in front of us blocking our way, as the duty doorman for the pub. I politely asked if he’d like my details for the track and trace. He immediately told us there were no tables. I said, as there was no booking system, that we’d wait. He told me again, more aggressively this time, that there were no tables and we’d have to come back tomorrow. I asked if this was to do with the confrontation we’d just had over the parking and asked to speak to the manager. He told me I was not speaking to the manger and that we were to leave. I refused (there was now a queue behind us).He went back just inside the door and spoke to a female member of staff at length, before they then both came back out and told us that there weren’t any tables. I said that, as it was very early, we’d wait and suggested to her that this was perhaps more about the bouncer aggressively, and wrongly, accusing my daughter of hitting a car further down the street. I asked if she was the manager. She refused to say and they both went back inside. Another member of staff arrived and asked if we had registered for the track and trace; we said we hadn’t as we’d been told there were no tables. He got on his radio and asked if there was a table free. He then said it wouldn’t be too long. My daughter registered and told him about the incident with the bouncer. He then disappeared back inside and then reappeared with the bouncer, who aggressively told my daughter to back away from the door. We did. He then told us more firmly to back away again. I said we had done as he’d asked and my daughter politely pointed out that we were well inside the box marked on the floor. At this point, the guy that told us it wouldn’t be too long to get a table, then said that I’d raised my voice and we wouldn’t be getting in. I said I had not and asked to speak to the manager - he said he was the manager (James) and we were to leave and not come back. So, we left, with my daughter in tears at not only being refused entry, which was hugely embarrassing for her, but also at having wrongly been accused by some thuggish bouncer of hitting another car some way away from the pub. Why he’d left his post to confront us on a public road a distance away from the pub is baffling. As a long-serving member of the armed forces, I have never been treated in such an appalling manner. We clearly wont be going back.

Absolutely awful service. I was treated like a criminal for forgetting my ID. The girl with the blonde hair and heart tattoo on her face didn’t bother to ID us but took all our money with a dirty look on her face. Extremely rude service , wasn’t any better from the manager ‘ Matt ‘ . even Made me feel completely embarrassed around all the other customers, even after providing my ID abit later on. After asking for a refund for paying on card , they tried to bring me back coins and pennies as a refund. Poor service

I haven't been here for a couple of years mainly because I had to wait ages for a drink on a couple of occasions. But I had half an hour to kill in Maidenhead so I thought I'd give it another try. Firstly I love the decor and the range of drinks. I wasn't eating but the food looked good. There seemed to be plenty of staff dashing around but only 2 behind the bar with lots of people waiting to get served. The situation wasn't helped by a man with a large food order asking about every menu on the item tying up 1 server for 10 minutes. I know it was 10 minutes because I timed the wait I had to get served and I was next in line. Several people walked off after waiting that long but as it was warm and I was in no hurry I waited. The place was humming on a Tuesday evening so it must be doing very well BUT why aren't there more bar staff? I wont be dashing back .

I went to The Bear in Maidenhead, on 1st of September, at around 10:40 am, with my wife, to have some nice Sunday breakfast. When I went to the bar to place the order, I asked the person there (named John and who is one of the managers) to not add ice to my glass of juice. He threw the ice very rudely back to the bucket and started mumbling some f words under his breath. I called a manager and some other guy came in and apologised on John’s behalf stating he thinks it’s a silly thing to swear at and refused to provide John employee ID, for better identification. While i sat at the table with my wife, John kept looking in our direction, clearly being bothered by my presence. I think this should be looked into, as it just put me off coming to this family pub. And the cherry at the top is that the staff forgot to bring me the eggs which came with my breakfast and i had to ask 2 girls to bring them to me....

Visit Saturday 22nd June evening, as per Wetherspoons drinks were cheap as a pint of strongbow and a pink gin & lemonade single for about £7. Quick to get served but unfortunately for both rounds the service wasn’t great as the bar girl out the strongbow in an ordinary pint glass which ruins the pint. They did this both times, if normal strongbow glasses were not available then they should get some more in or clean them. Pub was not busy. Furniture needs updating as out dated now. Will return due to the cheap drinks but suggest better service and better trained staff.

Went today for breakfast. My poached eggs and toad was stone cold, the eggs were like rubber and bacon had solidified fat all over it. one meal never arrived- we waited half hour after everyone else’s meal arrived and it never came and my daughters bread was dumped in her beans so when it came it was very soggy. We complained and the waiter asked if I wanted him to take my eggs and ‘reheat it’ instead of offering a fresh meal. I declined and he said to go to the bar to ask for refund. The manger was very rude and kept interpreting me while I was telling him why we are being refunded and then walked away while I was talking. He then shouted across the bar to go to the till he was at so he can refund us. We always visit the bear and have never had problems as bad as this and after speaking to others, it seems that many people are saying that the place has gone down hill. Such a shame as my daughter is autistic so likes to eat simple food like nuggets and chips and she trusts the bear and like it there.

Had coffee, which I refilled with no extra charge a couple of times. Breakfast arrived promptly - it was superb and more than enough for the heartiest of appetites. Everything was cooked to perfection. The toast was warm and there was sufficient butter. All at a very reasonable price. If my waist line could cope I would call more often.

Have ordered toast and marmalade and nearly every time it's served cold. Have also ordered bacon/sausage and they are always served unbuttered with no side butter on the plate. even when asked for them to be buttered when ordered

Waited 30mins for food pulled chicken burger and cottage pie. Cottage pie came out STONE COLD was returned bar staff said it would be reheated. Waited 15mins cottage pie came out LUKE WARM. My SON had finished his meal as I told him to go ahead and eat his. So we got a refund on my meal of a cottage pie. Went home with an empty stomach. Bitterly disappointed yet again. Between your Windsorla Pub and this one on numerous times we have been disappointed. I think your chefs need to be retrained and held account. Our meals at the Windsorla last night was a beef burger and a chicken breast burger both came out burnt which even the waiter agreed. They were replaced and we're OK. It seems lately the food is becoming sub standard and we have seen time and time again food being returned by other members of the public. I would suggest that to gain a reputation of being good food serving pubs that you act on not only my complaint but that of others as per some of the reviews I have read Perhaps get someone out to go under cover and see for yourselves and source the problems Thank you.

Long wait at the bar, only two staff on despite long queue whilst the other staff, including manager, decorated the place for Halloween. No attempt to serve the customers or help the bar staff, ridiculous. Unfortunately poor service appears to be the norm here as every time I have visited there’s always a long wait. The waiters bringing the food did their best but are let down by lack of leadership and mangement.

If you want cheap food and cheap beer the Bear will not disappoint. Always busy this large Wetherspoon will serve you breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can have a beer or a coffee from the Wetherspoon menu. Big outside seating area at the front is usually occupied so you can sup a drink and watch Maidenhead life.

I do like a Wetherspoons and grabbing a table ordering from the app. On a Sunday very surprised to see the pub so busy at 10am. First time at this branch of Wetherspoons.

Place dirty toilets disgusting not cleaned on checking no toilet rolls puddle water in cubicle. No soap. Bar staff very miserable, serverd out of order, drinks not filled to right measure, staff do n ot know where table settings are and wandering around looking for customer, food warm not hot, too dark in there. Decor old fashioned and looks grubby. tables not cleared or wiped very sticky. App orders take preference to other customers wating at the ba.r bBar staff serve the App customers at their tables even for 1 pint not with a meal. Centre of bar flooring is raised and very dangerous especially elderly hazzard only a sign saying wet floor ? this has been there for at least 9 months. When it is raining heavy buckets are put out in walk way to catch the leaks another Hazzard. Children allowed in all n ight just born toddlers screaming at late hour. They used to have to be allowed in if parents are eating and had to leave by 7.30pm but not now.

Thought we would give what is our local Wetherspoon's another chance. Only stayed for 2 pints. Badly served asked for top up and still short measure. I don't like proper Abbotts. What was served to up tonight was awful. No flavour or strength and pricey. Would go so far as to say if it was not a poor brew from Greene King, it had been thinned down. Moon and Spoon Slough and Windlesora Windsor has our custom for the foreseeable future. Both have a good selection of well kept beers, served well and not too pricey.

The bear is an old building, with a personality. Staff are friendly, food is acceptable, prices are more than reasonable. Great meeting place for relaxing and eating.

We have eaten at the Bear on several occasions some good some not so good. Today was the worst.My husband ordered the breakfast and I had porridge, and toast and preserve. The breakfasts arrived, the first problem was the cutlery was dirty, and my husband asked for another knife, My porridge was cold served in a chipped bowl,not one chip but three chips and my husbands breakfast was luke warm, to top it, the toast and butter didnt have a knife. I understand that places get busy and short of staff. but why wasnt the bowl thrown out long before my breakfast was served in it.

Had a BBQ burger, extra five bean chilli and garlic bread too. I also tried a Russian lager called Baltika and really enjoyed it. Strong Wi-Fi and nice atmosphere. Nothing to fault.

Good friendly staff, The SOP for Weatherspoons is consistent across the board. I did find the interior a bit dark and could do with a brighter interior decoration but that is personal choice. I have two breakfasts and one evening meal all OK and value for money when i stayed in maidenhead for the weekend
