Hungry Bear - England

Fantastic evening, the staff was fun and attentive. we were there for a lot of Christmas dinner that was amazing! can not wait to get back for more glorious meals

Had a cream tea yesterday, wow how big. Homemade scones. Per customer 2 large scones, 4 packs butter, 2 jam 2 cream, pot of Dorset tea all for £6.95, best cream tea so far this year, beating Coles on Shanklin seafront

Fantastic place to eat! A MUST. All the food was brilliant and the host was great. My In-laws highly recommend the fillet as best they have ever had! We will be back!

Just had an absolutely wonderful meal here, it's very obvious they are passionate about food, everything was prepared beautifully. What really made the meal for us was how well we were looked after. These guys are so accommodating. I can't thank you guys enough for how you looked after us, especially the head chef, you guys have gone above and beyond. If you have the chance to dine here, take the opportunity, you won't be disappointed.

I went here whilst back on the island visiting my parents. First up, the food! This place had a very small menu, but the food they do do, they do really well. Every dish that we saw coming out looked superb. The 4 of us tried 3 different dishes (2 went for the burger as it looked truly epic). Each dish looked fantastic, and tasted jsut as good. I cant remember the last burger I had that was made of such a lump of pure meat, and tasted delicious as well. Next up, the venue, very cool looking place, new inside of old, and done tastfully. Almost couldn't believe I was on the island! The drink menu has some good bits too, the Rum Bear is particularly good with an unusual mix of drinks that really works. The only item that was a little disappointing, the service. Initially very good, but they had a band playing in the courtyard and kind of forgot that there was still a restaurant running. We regularly had to wait 20+ minutes for more drinks. Our bill would have been bigger had we been served more. If it was a £60 pub meal we really wouldn't have minded the wait, but our bill came to almost £200 even with the slow service. You expect a bit more service when you're paying those prices. My parents have been before during the week week had excellent service so maybe its only at the weekends they focus more on the event that the diners.... Still, great food, cool place, I wouldn't be put off by the above, just bear it in mind if you want to make a night of it.
