Cesar LastraMarch 17, 2015Cozy local pub. Good range of beers. Not only have burgers but have a "burger menu". The "Daddy Bear" burger was beautiful. And if you're up for it, pork scratchings and thick-cut chips also great.- Best lunch time specials no one in town can beat em - fast and fantastic service, excellent quality and nice clientele - best pub in stratford
- The bear actually gives you gifts if you check in on foursquare - well done guys and thank you for my free pint
- Amazing food tonight , staff are so helpful xxx love this place it's for the classy client not a chav
- Perfect seat in front of the fire for a fab meal . Lovely atmosphere, excellent service,
They have four resident ales and four guest ales can't beat that in stratford upon avon

"Best French cuisine in Stratford. The Bear bar is also very good. Great real ales."
Carl Griffin - 9.0
"For a very fair price, the backstage tours are well worth it for anyone with an interest in theatre. Very extensive and last just over an hour. Worth booking beforehand. Members discount available."
Sam Osborne - 8.2
"Great sorbets, as well as gelato. So if you want an even healthier option the Green Tea sorbet is delicious!"
