   I didn’t enjoy my breakfast choice & had to leave most of it , really disappointed. I had mushrooms on sourdough toast with a side of halloumi . There was a very thick layer of Greek yogurt on the toast ( which was more like bread ) & then cover by cold mushrooms which were overly seasoned & not pleasant at all . It was a very odd combination . The two small pieces of halloumi were yummy & that’s all I ate really . I ordered a cappuccino which when it arrived was more like a latte with no foam at all . It was also luke warm 😞 My husband has the full English which he said was ok just cold !!!!! This was our first visit & have to say we won’t return & I won’t be recommending to friends & family

   Mouldy toast and raw chicken! The child’s portion of toast was mouldy, they kindly refunded it and sent out a new piece. However then the chicken on the flatbread was completely raw on some pieces. Some had already been eaten which we hope were fully cooked not partially but others were raw as soon as you cut through. The waiter was excellent in dealing with it but the kitchen staff should not be working there!

   Very cold so uncomfortable having a meal. Kept my coat on Met friends not seen for a long time so a special occasion regretted here. Expensive egg dish and shells in it. Friends left after the meal at Bear and went somewhere else to eat! Local but wont go again. Tables were very close to each other crammed in

   Busy between Christmas and New Year 2pm sitting. Limited menu, and even part of that was unavailable. Low on staff, particularly in the kitchen, and consequently long wait for food. When it came it was nice. Good buzzy atmosphere.

    A lovely coffee shop with fantastic cakes and friendly staff. We had arranged to meet friends for a chat over coffee but found the music just a little too loud to hold a conversation.
