The Bear Inn in Shropshire

We squeezed in the corner snug with locals and were made welcome straight away. The bar lady couldn’t have been more helpful. Trying to find the football match for us to watch. We stayed and loved it there. Lovely pint of Landlord and very affordable prices. We returned the next day but it was too full. See you again on our next visit for sure.

Totally ignored by bar staff last night - place will be shut down soon from the reviews. The bear used to be a great pub, homely feel.

Awful - entered with the intent of staying for a few drinks. The barmaid ignored us and continued to dry the glasses. The barman made eye contact, served the gentleman waiting then walked straight past us as we waited at the bar to continue his conversation with a group of ladies at the other end of the bar. Get some manners - If you dont like serving people - dont work in a pub!!!!!!!

Rudeness from what seemed to be the owners! Despicable attitudes loudly speaking with others about situations going on in the world with no regards to anyone else being there and should have really been in private. Also cleanliness and hygiene… don’t think they know what that is! God help them during covid. Definitely would not return!

Not sure what the management team were thinking on Bank holiday Monday when the weather was fantastic and only one member of staff behind the bar. Nevertheless, the wait wasn't too long due to his work ethic. The beer garden is a proper sun trap on cloudless days and not too badly furnished. The prices of the drinks here are good value for money and can compete with Wetherspoons. Ideally, a couple more real ales wouldn't go amiss as well as the ever increasingly popular craft beers

Boring, no character. Used to be a good local music pub. Now its just the same as any other sports bar.

We did not stay here but were passing through and called in at lunch time for a drink and sandwich. A good selection of real ales was available and tasted before we bought. We had a beef in ciabatta roll and a salmon sandwich. All was freshly prepared and well presented. Staff were efficient and friendly and the atmosphere was just what you want in a country pub. A great place, please try it.

Wonderful pub just under the bridge at Bridgenorth high town. Live music good beers, good food wonderful service. A best in Bridgenorth

The pub is spotlessly clean,the service is excellent . All the beers are served perfectly, the Carling lager is one of the best pints in Bridgnorth. Friends have stayed in the Bear and loved it there are bands on weekends . Well worth a visit it is such a friendly comfortable pub.

The pub is perfectly situated to explore the area. The staff are friendly and breakfast is amazing. The room was comfy and warm. Will return.

Absolutely love this pub and people, music friendly atmospheric place... you should stay and feel the love xxx

My partner and I popped in for Sunday lunch on the way back from Wales. Food is served until 3pm and as it was so close to then, we checked it would be OK. The manager couldn't have been more obliging; it was no trouble and the food arrived quickly - and very hot! Lovely Sunday lunch with proper fresh vegetables, followed by dessert. There was a good range of beer and the pub was really pleasant. Good clean toilets too!

there were eight of us to dine we were welcomed by the manger a mr paul tacchi and his staff were very well conversed in the service and hospitality theme the food was first class and very well prepared served with no fuse but with great politeness northing was any trouble a very good night was had buy all . .

stayed here for one night , nice room and friendly staff , good breakfast , good location for the centre of town and would definately stay again

We have eaten here two or three times at lunchtime. Great place to be able to take the dog and nice food in a warm, friendly atmosphere.

You have never eaten a ploughman's lunch till you try one at the bear, you will be hard pushed to eat it all, ploughmen must have enormous appetites. Phil and Kim, the owners of the Bear, are such wonderful people , nothing is to much trouble for them, they go that extra step to ensure your stay is a memorable experience .

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with friends in the beer garden which includes a play area for children and a lovely duck pond. A wonderful atmosphere would definately recommend.

Butterfly king prawn platter! Absolutely delicious! 9 large king prawns beautifully presented on a large bed of freshly made salad with a bowl of seafood sauce in the centre. Followed by homemade bread and butter pudding! Perfect!

Today I met with my three friends and their children for lunch and a play at The Bear Inn in Bridgnorth. We managed to park right at the back of the pub which was a bonus and only £2 to park all day. We arrived and were greeted by friendly helpful staff and some very happy chickens and ducks. The children all had a great time playing in the outside play area on the swings, slide, in the small sand pit and the older children played the giant connect four and naughts and crosses games which was great as it gave us grown ups an opportunity to talk whilst also keeping an eye on the children! For lunch the younger children enjoyed kids sandwich boxes; which had a fresh bread sandwich, carton of fresh juice, raisins, crisps, drawing pad, pencil, crayons, bubbles, animal mask and some sweets - as you can imagine the children were delighted!! For our lunch we had a ploughman's platter, panini's with various fillings and olives, hummus, salad and pitta bread.. all the food was presented beautifully and tasted lovely.. no complaints what so ever and very little left on the plates. Lovely service, fabulous food and great atmosphere. Thanks we'll be calling again!!

Lovely pub wether it's a evening drink with friends or a night out it's always a pleasure to visit the bear. All staff are lovely and friendly and the couple that own the pub are the most pleasant people ever :) love the open mic nights also great atmosphere.

had a great lunch at the bear in on Tuesday with a work friend.i had the lasagne with chips. the meal was really tasty and the chips were beautiful.would recommend the bear to any one for a lunch time meal . especially if the weather is really nice as they have a brilliant garden ! with lots of seating .

One of the nicest and most welcoming pubs in Bridgnorth! The open mic nights can't be missed I'm a regular every week and its enjoyable every time! With amazing drink offers, friendly staff and lovely food its a must visit in Bridgnorth.

Having stayed a few nights here recently and enjoying the Lovely Breakfasts we decided to Have lunch I had the Ploughmans lunch lovely and My partner had home cooked Fish and Chips.The beer was great a nice cool pint on a sunny Afternoon in Bridgnorth well Done to Owners Phil @ Kim for a great welcome and your Hospitality,

Six of us ate at The Bear recently and having just seen the' black cob' review I must add my thoughts.I can't imagine that the fastidious staff at The Bear would ever display unacceptable food and I am 100% certain that they would refuse to change a roll. The snacks are displayed on beautiful vintage stands and customers choose their own roll or tasty snack. So said review is hardly plausible! The garden is absolutely beautiful! So much work must have gone into it. The food was excellent too! We will and have been back!

We were on a coach trip from Liverpool when we saw the photos of the Bear on a large A board in the street and couldn't resist a visit . The garden is beautiful and I took many photos as I want to try and replicate some of the ideas that Kim the owner and gardener and cook has implemented. We all opted for the Greek salad and were delighted with our choice. There were five in our group and we all gave the food and venue 10/10. The salad was freshly made and arrived with a basket of warm crusty breadWe all recommend the bear for food and a warm welcome. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff!

Bought 2 Cheese and Onion cobs here on Saturday 5 July, 1 was burnt black !!!! Top and Bottom, on requesting a replacement / refund and was told we can't do that, they come delivered in that state, its not our problem. Time I think to change their suppliers or better still the Bar Manager as the cobs must have been filled on the premises as they do meals etc. and can't / shouldn't have gone unnoticed. Last time I drink / snack here. !!!!!!! ,
