The Bear - Elmbridge

This pub is wonderful! I had an amazing roast dinner and the people there were lovely. I was dining by myself and felt welcome and comfortable. I will definitely be returning soon, this time with friends. A special thank you to Poppy, who took care of me and made me feel like writing a review. A five-star meal at a five-star place. Thank you so much.

The venue was absolutely fantastic! We hosted our recent wedding reception in the beautiful function room, which was adorned with spectacular crystal chandeliers and a stunning stained glass ceiling. It was a truly wonderful setting! Our events manager, Josh, was incredibly accommodating, kind, and patient with us. He never once said no to any of our requests! The venue, a converted old stables with a large fireplace, perfectly suited our vintage style reception with antique tablecloths and fairy lights. The room was bright and airy during the day, with full air conditioning, and romantic and cosy in the evening. Ben helped us with set up and stayed late to ensure everything was taken care of. Portia and Ben served a delicious canapé style buffet and ensured the food kept coming, even though we had over catered! Chef Mateus went above and beyond to make us a special cheesecake with fresh strawberries. The manager, Ollie, has assembled a fantastic team focused on exceptional customer service. Planning a wedding for 50 guests was surprisingly stress-free without any red tape or restrictions. The entire team made our day relaxed and beautiful. Some of our guests stayed in the boutique hotel with elegantly furnished, comfortable, and spotless rooms. A huge thank you to everyone at The Bear, especially Josh for his outstanding service despite some scheduling issues. We highly recommend The Bear for any celebration, they will exceed your expectations! - Mr. & Mrs. P

We had an amazing evening at The Bear. There were 17 of us gathered around the table and we all enjoyed a wonderful 3-course meal. The private dining room was ideal for a group of friends, and the service that night was excellent.

Had a lovely dinner on Friday with my family. Thought I’d do a shout out to our waitres Persia. She was so attentive and really friendly. Great pub, will def be back again!

Visited for a family meal on a Friday late afternoon/early evening. Extremely quiet and limited atmosphere. Food was tasty but nothing special and slightly pricey sharers/starters given the size more the size of a small individual starter than a sharing portion... Extremely slow service given only 2 3 other tables of guests. Couldn't find a member of staff to pay the bill and ended up trying to flag staff down to order drinks no staff around the bar which meant guests were hanging around for service. Overall, not going to be back anytime soon which is a shame...
