At Macdonald Bear - Woodstock

Great selection of dishes, there was 5 of us and we all enjoyed our chosen dishes. Only minor moan, food could have been hotter, the horseradish sauce punchier and hot custard with the crumble. But delicious all the same.

The staff were all super helpful and made us feel very welcome. The hotel itself is beautiful and the afternoon tea was delicious, the scones were fresh and warm and possibly the best we've ever had. Would definitely go back.

On arrival very poor service, fire very low therefore no warmth and NO Pino Gregio white wine! Service counter half full of ‘dirties’. Lunch poor, had to ask for horseradish and to pay £30 for a 2 course meal where the vegetables already on the plate is a clear error in what is described as a ‘top’ restaurant.

We had a lovely evening out with my elderly mother. Her first meal out since this all began. Staff were spot on, attentive but with minimal contact with the table. Food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Would recommend.

Well.its false advertising..outside the front door and on their website it state eat out to help out ...50% off...but when the bill came £149.00 only £20 was taken off. At no point were we told or shown this This is decieving .Food was prepared to a high standard...still feel miffed at being in the dark...I see other dinners surprised as well. . Having said all that the food was delicious, the bread fantastic. They didnt cook my wifes steak to well done but was easy enough to cook a little further on. At some point I was going to ask for a table near a waiter as 2 tables were served drinks before us as we were seated 10 minutes before they arrived! But they were friendly staff and the food quality was excellent, all in the classic enviroment of The classic Bear Hotel in Woodstock. The vegtables and side were cooked respectfully and the wine sumptuous , shame on the pricing, it was our wedding Anniversay and wanted to make it special.
