The Bear Inn

Came for a meal with my partner and son last week, staff were fantastic, very pleasant and helpful and the food was amazing, best meal we have had out in a long time. The chicken florentine was so tasty and the desert was amazing, highly recommended to friends and family

Me and my husband stayed for two nights at the weekend and can honestly say it was lovely. Room was charming and the bathroom was quirky. Clean and comfortable. Food was great and good value. Staff friendly and Chris the manager was very helpful. We got served the first night by a lovely lady and nothing was too much trouble. Open fire is just perfect. Breakfast was amazing freshly cooked with fresh good quality produce. The breakfast staff are so friendly. I won’t mention poached eggs as I know how much they love them. We will stay again in the future

We went for a meal last night with friends. What a lovely old quaint pub. The food was superb at a reasonable price with very attentive staff to help the evening go well. Myself and friend had the steak and ale pie which was super and the ladies had chicken and sea bass all were lovely, followed by syrup pudding and jam pudding and custard. What a great evening thank you

This is now a family run pub/inn. We had a comfortable stay but I must mention the food - it's wonderful - both my wife and I loved it - the head chef is one of the family and we would strongly recommend it. It's in the village of Alderwasley in England's Peak District and the National Tramway Museum at Crich is a ten minute drive away.

We pulled up in the car park to see a couple of the chefs smoking outside !! not a good start we had to walk past them to get into the pub and the thought of those preparing my dinner put me right off to start with !! the food itself was good though we both had the beef and we have no complaints at all but we didnt like the place much we cant put our finger on why but you sometimes get a feeling not to return to some places ! if I had any advice for the owners it would be to tell the smokers to take their fags right away from the entrance ! hopefully it gets banned soon in pub gardens 👍👍

The food at The Bear is of an excellent standard. My sea bream fillet was exquisite, perfectly cooked and served in a subtle chilli and garlic broth with vegetables. My partner had venison, again cooked to perfection. The NZ Sauvignon Blanc was perfectly crisp, fruity and cool and matched the fish well. Add to this great service and a beautiful old building that oozes character and history, the whole experience is certainly one that I hope we will repeat very soon.

We were staiung in a nearby Airbnb and they recommended this fab pub to us.~We came for dinner and weren't disappointed. Good choice of options at every course, big portions (don't bank on being able to manage 3 courses), and all of it delicious. Good range of beers and a small but decent choice of wines at AMAZING prices (seriously guys, you should charge a bit more!). And the staff were lovely. We want to come back to our airbnb (the arraslea cabins) and we will definitely come back here when we do.

Popped to the Bear for a quick bite to eat on Friday lunchtime. Took a seat in the garden and took in the glorious countryside views; the pub is set in a very peaceful part of the world and it’s always a pleasure to just sit in the garden and relax. We ordered the chicken and bacon club sandwich to share; it’s a massive sandwich and there was more than enough for both of us! Tender chicken, good quality bacon and fresh lettuce and tomatoes made this a really tasty lunch. It came with a dressed side salad and portion of crisps. Unfortunately I didn’t take ‘photo of the food! The prices are very reasonable - £20 for the sandwich, large coke and medium white wine. The food came quickly but was not rushed …. Staff were friendly and efficient. Have eaten at the Bear many times and it never disappoints ….

The Bear Inn is a totally fabulous pub in everyway. A lucky find in our travels with a warm inclusive welcome on arrival . It exudes depth of character and longevity combined with friendly helpful first class management. We enjoyed top standard cuisine and drinks at normal pub food prices. We stayed 2 nights in our Tear Drop trailer at the top of the car park with country side vista . We pass on our sincere thanks to Chris, Sarah and Wendy who manage this gem of a pub. We wish you every success for many years ahead." We recommend you without reservation.' It has been a real pleasure. THANK YOU
