Bear Inn in Solihull

Almost always good service here from well trained, helpful, friendly staff.The menu has been truncated over the years, but there are usually some better than average offerings on the special or regular menu. I hope they continue to change these often for regular customers.The drinks are of good quality also, but the wine list asks too much for the vintages offered.Recommended.

Very nice place : beautiful decoration, friendly atmosphere, different areas with enough space between tables (so not noisy) and very nice terraceThe staff was welcoming, smiley and efficient. The service was quick but not too much (perfect)Concerning the food, we did like it. Various choices on the menu for starters and mains.Pizzas are homemade, they have a real pizza oven. And they are really good, bases are crusty and delicious.We did like the baked Camembert served with delicious bread.Not fully convinced by the Mediterranean plate, merguez koftas and tzatziki’s were good but the rest had nothing specialThe same for west coast nachos, good but basic.Catalan style garlic bread was tasty and large portion.According to my colleague, the crispy duck salad was good as well

A lovely pub - part of Paul Salisbury’s creation. Faultless service from friendly waitresses serving great food and drinks. Choice of sitting inside, in the garden or in a marquee. Will definitely go there again.

Me and the girls enjoyed our time catching up after a year hiatus. We had a good time. Will definitely coming back. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of booking a place for my 10th Year Wedding Anniversary Celebration.

We had an impromptu lunch today and although we hadn’t booked we were made very welcome. What a lovely place, clean and the most cheerful and polite staff. Food was excellent. I had the burger and my husband had the pizza both very tasty. Desserts were just as good the cookie dough was delicious and I would thoroughly recommend it!! Toilets spotless.Will visit again if ever in the area. A great find.

We only ate in the bar, not the restaurant, but the place is lovely. Very clean, well kept interior with a large outdoor area. There is a restaurant too but we didn't go there.The real ale drops clear quickly, tastes very good and is pulled well by the friendly bar staff.The food was great, I'd definitely recommend it for a meal or a casual pint or three and I bet the outdoor area is perfect in the summer.

Birthday meal for the Mrs, with the family. Nice setting. Service was good. The food was delicious. Just had main dishes and drinks. The portion sizes were ample.

What a hidden beauty! I will start on the resturant first. Amazing decor inside, very spacious with lots of different smaller areas. Large Christmas tree in the bar area. Food was tasty. The only reason 4 stars were given as they had forgot two ingredients on two separate pizzas. We then went to the bar next door and sat next to the log fire. Very homely and we will definitely be coming back.

Nice cosy place. Best reserve beforehand, to find available tables. Had Christmas menu, was very nice food and ambience.

Just had our Christmas meal ,a great starter,and then a Christmas carvery with a generous sized desert the service was great too,would highly recommend this pub with a great atmosphere
