The Bear Inn in East Riding of Yorkshire

Good menu, decent food. Pub has really improved over the past 18 months. Recommended

Lively pub ,nice staff, great sports bar, good food, but if you are a real ale lover, don’t bother, terrible. However if you like larger,Guinness,cider not a problem. A city pub in a village. Been going in for over 30 years, this is the worst that the bitter has been.

Really good food and dog friendly.

Sadly disappointing!! Upon out arrival ordered 2 starters & 2 main courses. When the starters arrived, so did one of the main courses which was a pizza. We advised the waitress that we had obviously yet to eat our starters & she took the pizza away. The main courses consisting of 2 pizzas then arrived but it was obvious ond had just been kept warm, as it was tepid, dry & the base was rock hard. The other however had clearly come straight from the oven.

Cosy pub in the heart of south cave with lounge bar and sports bar sides with beer garden too. Recently renovated and looks great. Pool, big TVs and Darts and jukebox. Recently opened the kitchen and it's exceptional food from a Quality chef highly recommended a visit here. Some serious onion rings and halloumi fries btw :)

Really nice food defo go back!! Xx

Fabulous food and great atmosphere!

We have been regulars at the bear inn for many years and always enjoyed spending time with friends there. Over the past 6 months there has been many changes and renovations for the better! The new revamped back room provides an excellent open plan sports bar overlooking a lovely clean and tidy beer garden. The most recent, and might I say FABULOUS, addition is the food…WOW WOW WOW! Excellent good quality food, variety for all, steering away from standard ‘pub grub’ at reasonable prices…cannot wait to eat here again! Well done team ‘bear inn’ what an amazing venue with fabulous staff, great food, live entertainment and sport…you’ve got it all, good job well done ⭐️⭐️⭐️

We stopped in by chance while passing, we will be absolutely returning in the future! Aesthetically pleasing inside and out. Staff were extremely warm and friendly. A good pint from the pump. And the food was amazing. I honestly can’t fault the place. Keep it up

Nice place to have a beer outside after a walk

The food was absolutely incredible, well above your standard pub. The food alongside the atmosphere was everything you could ask for.

Had breakfast this morning, the food was fab! Lovely staff, well worth the money we paid, we will definitely be back😄

Under new management again! Undergoing refurbishment. Casque ales are suffering, in that only one or two are on at any one time and, honestly, I've tasted better. Maybe the cellar is in a bit of disarray at the mo. More effort at keeping the bar counter clean and dry and not sticky would help the experience. I used to be a regular but prefer to go to the Fox and Coney across the road now.

Had a great evening in the Bear, had a good selection of hand pulled bear. Chris and Sadie were working and there hospitality was amazing, the pub had a good selection of Bar snacks. I will definitely be back next time I’m in the village.

The Bear inn is a great traditional village pub. There is a lovely long front bar, and a back room with darts and a pool table, there's a couple of large TVs for watching Sport. The pub has an excellent wide range of beers, lager and cider, including three cask conditioned real ales on when I called in. The cask ale was very good. The staff are friendly and there is a nice big car park behind the pub. Dog friendly. Highly recommended.

Don’t bother. Below par. Stick to the fox across the road

A lovely afternoon with family sat by a nice log fire. Excellent service and good atmosphere.

Great little pub staff very friendly

Brilliant change!! The place has had a revamp for the better....new ownership are great. Keep up the good work and the success

Sadly I received a parking ticket for The Bear Inn Car Park. No where in the pub did it say to register your car number plate. We had a super time, but the parking fine left a bad taste. Won't be going back. Be aware guys 😉

Came here for a drink , lovely place , however got stung with a parking fine !! I paid cash for drinks so no proof I was here, I didn’t realise u had to register your car on the iPad. Came home from vacation to 2 letters asking for a parking charge of £160!!!! What an expensive drink!!!!! 😢

Yet again another evening of been pestered by dogs left to roam freely around the pub slavering on people's clothing, getting under your table around your legs and clothing it really is to much left to roam free is one bad thing but spoiling people's clothing too this is out of order and absolutly disgusting soon as you open a packet of crisps the dog is there slavering and pestering making it a very unpleasant and annoying place to drink and you can't enjoy your selfs it never gets any better in this pub the worst is you complain and nothing gets done about it if you like your clothing and don't want to be pestered by dogs and slavered on your nice clothing then this pub should be avoided

Cleaner than it has been, but still generally dirty and tired. The bar person was really miserable, no eye contact or welcome. It feels like the place is on It's last legs.

Cracking pint and a good atmosphere.

Nice ‘local’ pub with good atmosphere, didn’t eat but a good selection of drinks and lots of conversation. Tip, don’t forget to give your vehicle registration number to avoid a PCN

Great selection of cask ales and lagers, friendly staff, pool, darts, large screen for sports and more in the other bar, currently has a street food van on certain nights that comes to the beer garden

What a fabulous pub.. The landlord is so friendly and helpfull.. Went out of his way to help us with bus times and let us use his carpark for the day while we walked.. Excellent

Really great pub and lovely staff - Gav is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet! We stopped there while hiking through and he gave us advice on the best camping spots and even offered up his beer garden. Wish we could have stuck around longer! Vik & Nat

Great pub, great beers and great service!

Have just visited it for the 1st lovely friendly atmosphere ,big sport's TV at the back ,great lounge area at the front ,well worth a visit

Brilliant, really warm and welcoming

Lovely pub with friendly staff. Strongly recommend

Hi I have been trying to get through today on the phone but cannot seem to get an answer. Just wanted to ask if patrons are allowed to use your carpark. My son visited on the 3rd Dec for the evening and somehow has got a parking ticket. Just wondering what the policy is for your carpark Cheers. By the way he enjoyed your pub very much

Proper boozer, with a good clientele, great choice of beers and decent food at reasonable prices. Will definitely be back.

very quiet, early closing - a,sad consequence of covid / brexit etc.

Busy little pub. Big games room to the rear with a huge TV screen which at the time was full as there was a match on.

Lovely pub, band was fab Beat2Beat Great customer service, will be back.

Always friendly and just started doing lovely meals again

A group of us popped in for a drink having taken a walk from the local hotel. Nice enough and beer was good. Staff pleasant.

Local pub. Friendly and traditional.

Popped in for couple of beers after work, nice pleasent pub 👍

Welcoming staff! Traditional village pub

Lovely pub, good choice of beers

Nice clean pub and Friendly landlord. We will definitely be back

Service was very good, staff very friendly. My partner booked a table not realising the has stopped serving food by the time we arrived.

Had a great night, staff were lovely very nice and friendly, landlord, landlady as well.

This is a proper pub with a good range of beers, lagers and ciders on draught. Staff very friendly.

Was staying in the village went for a few drinks , great friendly service and doing ok with the covid rules, thanks will come again

Very pleasant bar staff. Had a nice few drinks in there

Great atmosphere and friendly staff

Nice, traditional pub. Nice landlord, nice ales.

1st visit to the Bear tonight Post lockdown and it was lovely to be back, thanks everyone for the efforts to make it work well , great to have you back open

Lovely welcoming staff. Good prices too!

Changed for the good.nice relaxing reasonably priced beer..

Cracking selection of beers, welcoming staff and very friendly local customers. Highly recommended to all

We hosted a family gathering of around forty in the function room. It fit us all in comfortably and Gavin was a great assistance beforehand and on the day, so I would happily recommend The Bear to anyone looking to organise a meet up or simply somewhere to have a pint!

The main drinking area is comfortable with a large selection of drinks available at reasonable prices. Toilets where clean. Went on a sunday which meant they had a quiz going on. Did not take part in it but it's a mixture of music and general knowledge.

Nice little pub in a quiet village, dont serve food though!

A friendly and welcoming local pub in the small town of south cave. Drinks only but not an issue as we ate elsewhere. The games room at the back of the pub was ideal if you wanted to sit away from the main bar.

Cosy little pub with a wide range of drinks available.

What a lovely evening spent at The Bear Inn, I was very impressed that I could sample the local wine from a vinyard literally a mile down the road! The owners are very friendly and accommodating and knowledgeable about the products, it always puts a smile on my face when there is good customer service. I really like the new look of the place, the atomosphere is now bright and clean, a huge change from how it used to be! Very pleased! Thank you! We shall definitely be back.

Friendly welcome but despite the dining room there is no food so our Sunday lunch had to be found elsewhere. They were kind enough to invite us to leave our car in their carpark and recommend other food serving venues though

Good beer, good hospitality, reasonable price and service

Lovely local East Yorkshire wine and friendly service

My husband and I often pop in here for a couple of drinks. Recently refurbished and new ownership it has a welcoming atmosphere and Stuart the bar tender is lovely. A wide array of drinks are available at the bar and the only improvement would be if they did food. I’m told it is a plan for the future.

Great pub now it is run properly by Gav

Nice improvement with decor. Bar staff friendly. Good choice of drinks. Small area f8r sitting outside, so great in this weather

Since renovation this pub has become so much more pleasant to be in. No more small dark rooms full of locals. The times I had been before did make you feel you'd walked into someone's living room uninvited. the new refurb is open plan, includes more seating and a far more functional bar makes for quick service. Look forwards to seeing what comes next for the Bear Inn!

Movin Scene Scooters turned up, and the manager came out and told us, next time we go, let him know and he will put a buffet on for us, how nice is that??

A lovely drinking hole now Great job done by the new management

Just been renovated. Proper drinking pub. No foodie nonsense here. If you want food drink, nice atmosphere, pool and darts, give it a try. Great to see it finally doing well.

A real country local! Weekly quiz. Friendly staff & good atmosphere. Good choice of real ale...& Great fire!

Great little village pub with a good selection of beers on the bar. Food is not served but it has a good choice of bar snacks.

Bismal....need to make it cosier.....not sure how they would do this but something needs to be done. No food served.

The pub was quite sad looking with a huge room given to a pool table,,,,,,what a shame when in the bar the seating is at a premium. No food is served but the beer is excellent.

They do not do food now but they were very happy for us to eat a take away whilst drinking our beer. Friendly bar staff, smiling barman.

Pub opens at 16-00 hrs on a Monday. Sign in window says closed sorry for any inconvenience. No reason given for inconvenience!! The only pub in the village with a landlady who doesn't really want to know!! About time the owners got to grip with the situation.

I am not sure that one hundred characters are needed for this review. The choice of Real Ales was good, there was a choice of Lagers and the locals were friendly and chatty. I liked the atmosphere. Would recommend.

Un pub con un ambiente! Aparecimos para tomar un trago después de un paseo en el sur por encima de la cueva y dales encontramos este Pub estar ocupados y amable. Tenía una pinta rápido que era a mano y más que aceptable.

Leí una crítica de este pub recientemente sugiere que fue un lugar razonable para comer, pero como la cueva del Sur residant te puedo asegurar que es un pub tradicional para bebedores y no un Carvery Roast" como la crítica anterior puede sugerir. Está perfectamente bien para una pinta y un juego de billar, pero si quieres comer así como ir a la galería.

We often drop into the bear for a drink. Traditional pub with plenty of drinks on offer including real ales, friendly staff too!

Called in the Bear Inn only for drinks and enjoyed the experience. A warm welcome from staff. Nice ambience to place. Reasonable prices and service with a smile and a chat !

After completing the 1st 12 miles of the Wolds Way from the Humber Bridge my wife and I were in need of a drink, 1st pub you see is The Bear, the welcome we received was warming, the service was excellent and I cannot understand the reviews I have read earlier. When we walked in we spoke to other walkers regarding the bus back to Hull and was approached by a member of staff saying he was on his way into Hull and would gladly give us a lift as opposed to the need to wait for a bus, we were dropped off at the top of our street. Many thanks and hope you get more positive reviews, you deserve better than the ones posted earlier

We popped in for a saturday drink it was really busy.We recieved our drinks in dirty glasses which admittedly were changed. The two bar staff then picked up take away boxes and ate behind the bar between serving and no hand washing was evidenced. It smelt really badly we left after only having half of our drinks... what a shame it used to be fab .

Bank Holiday Monday. Been to the only pub in the village that is trading but unfortunately not open till 16-00. 16-15 pub opens Landlady not feeling well. Bad attitude from barman who opens up. This place really needs sorting out. Shame.

great local pub, clean smart in appearance and a good atmosphere. Nice area and a decent pint. Reccommebed

Huge changes are afoot with The Bear Inn, I was often in both the pubs in the village but the latest landlord has taken on-board the comments of the regular and visitors and things are on track for a return to the community pub. Ales and lager are perfect, glasses clean and lines pristine. Stefan and Julie are passionate about the products and always have an ear for what people want to see. The pub has been largely revamped since the place was taken over but maintains a country pub feel. The original (quite frankly awful) toilets are gone and replaced with all things bright and shiny, the bar areas are comfortable and the open fire is perfect for a pint and pie or (shock horror) a game of dominoes. Talking of food, there is a push to start traditional pub grub, curry, chili con carne and stews for the winter months. There is a growing list of events coming up and kids are welcome to come along (Halloween should be great since don’t we all love to dress up without getting arrested). All in all, it’s everything a country pub should be and I wish them good fortune and keep up the good work. BTW, they are reinstating there Cask Mark and CAMRA status which will be there soon but in the meantime try the Doom Bar beer, its wonderful.
