The Bear - Wiltshire

This is undoubtedly a fantastic historic inn with well-maintained ales and top-notch food, possibly the best in the Trowbridge area. However, the owner's arrogant attitude and sarcastic remarks while taking our order made us feel very uncomfortable. It marred what could have been a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

Absolutely brilliant roast dinner. It has changed hands and is now very good. Lovely garden/patio. Dog friendly. I will definitely return. Had a lovely time there today.

Never again. When this was the pie place, it was amazing. Now, it’s just awful. Terrible beer and service, and so run down. Toilet missing seat, dangerous steps inside which are broken falling away, damaged tables outside.

What can be said again another pub switched into an Indian with a menu as long as your arm and cheap booze to try and counter the awful food, weird and ruined maybe just try being a sports bar with every sport under the sun on like you already have!

After ordering our drinks, we took a seat outside in the courtyard. The lights and the newly added gazebo had a nice feel, however was a little cramped. Unfortunately, our conversations were interupted by the barman, who just served us drinks. Smoking and speaking (to someone) very loudly about how he wasn’t very happy with the managers. However he then started SWEARING very loudley. Completely unprofessional and very rude. We also noticed that the serving staff were coming out and smoking too. In my opinion they shouldn’t be in the eyes of the customers smoking whilst on service. Especially if they are going to be not covering up their work uniform. Such ashame as it was my favourite place to go in Bradford-on-Avon.
