BEAR - Derby in Derby

We stopped in for a casual lunch the other day and it was delicious! Everything we had - the tots, the fish finger sandwich, the pork sandwich and the chicken sandwich - were incredibly tasty. This was coupled with friendly and helpful staff which made the whole experience really enjoyable.

Had a really good experience here, would have been five star but unfortunately they forgot my cappuccino! I definitely recommend coming here, the brunch is amazing!

Went to BEAR Iron Gate recently for drinks. Great choice of cocktails on the menu and service excellent as always. Would recommend booking a table as it can get busy.

Very stylish, and a good menu. My wife enjoyed her mocha and granola. Unfortunately my poached eggs on sourdough was not good. Luke warm eggs that had been poached in vinegar and just one thin slice of toast did not feel like good value for money

I used to love Bear cafe. Staff are always great, the food is delicious and the prices are fair which made it a nicer alternative to a lot of places in Derby.However, they’ve changed the menu which for me is really disappointing and has put me off returning.Some of the bad changes are; now not including fries with the angry Mac but keeping it at the same price!No option to buy fries, but instead overpriced tater tots.The pizza menu is bizarre- no pepperoni or chicken choices AND they’ve definitely reduced in size.The food is always great but being told the changes are because of BREXIT is such a ridiculous overused reason for businesses to excuse unnecessary price increases or menu changes.Sort it out Bear because we do still love you!

Over the past two days we have visited here twice for food & drinks.On Friday we visited for there signature pancakes, have fruit x10 stack & bacon with maple syrup x10 stack. There was that much we had to take some home. The only criticism I would say is that unfortunately they were out of packet, & not cooked from scratch.On Saturday evening we visited again, but this time as a table of 7, for my birthday. This time round I went for the La Fondue Burger with standard House Seasoned Fries. Presentation & taste was spot on, however the burger was over cooked for my liking. All other guests gave good feedback.On a different note, the cocktail menu has good selection to chose from, my personal favourite being the espresso martini.

A huge HUGE thank you to the team at BEAR for being so accommodating at our breakfast yesterday. We had roughly 28 people in our party.The staff was really helpful and friendly, and made sure that all our food came out at the same time, whilst serving walk in customers! (Mind blown)And of course the food and coffee was delicious too! We used to visit quite a lot before our move and it has made us really miss going. We will certainly be coming back for more events.Thank you again!

Nice little place to sit. The breakfast was quite nice. Different flavours. However i do think it was a little overpriced for what it was and I do spend the extra pounds on food normally. I liked the waffle idea so have made it many times at home. I think i would come back again however there wasnt much vegetarian option as I'd hope.

Loved the v60 hand brew and delicious breakfasts! The shakshuka was a spicy delight! great Christmas atmosphere

I went for a coffee and cake, they were beautifully crafted and tasted excellent. I could of had another slice of the cake, it was so good! Nice location and decent decor, easily one of the best coffee shops in Derby!
