The Bear Inn in Mid Suffolk

Nice pub. Very quiet. Currently closes at 9pm

Great pub .very friendly. Definitely worth a visit

Small menu but still great selection (Even for veggies/vegans) and lovely daily specials as well. Warm, homely feel with homegrown produce. Reasonably wheelchair accessible over a compact gravel car park and ramps to entrance, however no accessible toilet facilities.

We received excellent service, staff friendly . Started off with a lovely chilled glass of prosecco with a raspberry. Husband chose steak with chips, mushrooms, tomato & coleslaw. I had lambs liver, mash, selection of vegetables. Both meals cooked to perfection. There was a choice of desserts - I had the chocolate & salted caramel trifle and hubby had sherry trifle. Followed by another glass of wine & coffee.

Very nice and relaxed gastro pub. Great Sunday lunch. Staff really friendly. Children loved it too.

Booked table to celebrate my husband's, friends and my birthdays. Booked and were greeted by very pleasant staff. Table was so rocky there was no way we could balance a glass on it. Staff rushed around finding wedges (three in all) to stop the rock - unfortunately they kept coming out during the meal resulting in sloshed drinks. Explained from the outset that one of our party was gluten free, the staff were very helpful. Selected a gluten free dish which was accompanied by chips - when asked if they used the same fryer for chips as gluten products they said they did - so no chips. New potatoes ordered instead and without any exaggeration you couldn't get a fork into them they were so hard, sent them back and our friend watched as the rest of us continued with our meal. Expensive steak was bland, chips were soggy and pepper sauce tasted of vinegar, custard thin, runny and sweet. 1 cm of crumble on top of pudding. My gluten free friend asked for ice-cream which came sprinkled with biscuits – had to send it back. To top this off, despite saying on their website that the restaurant was child free after 8.00 pm there was a young child on the next table who made so much noise there were times when we couldn’t hear each other speaking. The only good think about the experience were the lovely staff. When asked if we had enjoyed our meal my husband said it wasn’t great. No refund and no explanation from the chef about the returned meals. This meal cost us a day’s salary for two – an experience never to be repeated.

Really nice pub with good food at fair prices. Regular specials board and roasts on a Sunday. I am not sure if the pub still has links to the Old Cannon Brewery in Bury St Edmunds. They often have entertainment during the week. Definitely worth a visit.

We had a fabulous time celebrating my husband's daughters birthday! As the menu is posted on-line we pre-ordered your starter and main. The desert and the drinks were ordered on the night. My starter was delicious lashed with a superb amount of garlic, everyone was pleased with their main course....nothing left on the plates!! Always a good sign. The service was excellent helped along by the fact that such a large group had previously selected a dish. I've been here for the second time and I would say it's a guaranteed good night out and recommend it fully.

I liked this place although the architecture and interior design were drab and in need of a bit of character.The staff were very polite and happy to help, we always like to see that.They didn't appear to have a huge selection of beers but I didn't feel they needed to in such a modestly sized setting.Although I only had the mussels they were very very good, the sauce especially, I'd be back for that alone.The outdoor area is very presentable and clean with fruit and veg growing in planters and the odd grapevine and a chicken coop to boot although they had seemed to of moved out at the time.Overall it's very clean although not very exciting they serve nice food and beer at a reasonable price.

So lovely we've been twice this week. Really amazing food and plates not overloaded (but you won't go hungry). Nice to see a smaller menu and some specials with everything cooked fresh. Good food for kiddies and was refreshing to see a dog allowed in as well.
