Brown Bear - Ladytown

The vegetables were served raw, the lamb meat was rare and in small portions, and the potatoes were dry and microwaved. The chicken was also dry, with an oily garlic sauce on the plate. The chips were the only highlight. The dessert was acceptable, with ice cream and frozen strawberries, a good banoffee, and a decent death by chocolate that left a strong dark chocolate taste in your mouth. Tea and coffee were not available. The prices were expensive considering you could get a much better roast beef dinner down the road for half the price. The waitresses were friendly, pleasant, and chatty.

We absolutely love this restaurant, the staff are so lovely, Jean is amazing at getting back to any requests queries. We are local so we were lucky enough to enjoy their at home dining service during the covid years and now we get to enjoy the warm surroundings of the restaurant once again. The food and wine is always so thoughtfully selected, the steak is sensational, we are looking forward to another night we just booked!

My husband planned this visit as a Valentine's treat. The food was amazing, some of the best we've ever had! The staff were polite and friendly, and the food delivery was timed perfectly. If we had one criticism it was that the tables are too close to each other, so certainly not a romantic atmosphere, and perhaps not ideal for a personal nite out. It would have been nice if the Brown Bear had made Valentine's dinner alittle special with a small touch of a flower for the lady or some hearts on the table ....... just a thought. Wouldnt reccomend if you're looking for A romantic setting. Thankfully though the food has secured our return!

My partner surprised me with dinner in this restaurant for valentines! It did not disappoint, the food was absolutely fantastic, portion sizes are quite big but I may have filled up on the bread and amuse-bouche! The goats cheese is a must try, and the chef even tweaked the risotto for me as I’m allergic to mushrooms so I had a butternut squash one instead. Marie and Ashley were great waiter's very friendly and welcoming and the floor manager. It is a hidden gem and we will definitely be back!

Always good service at the Brown Bear. Nice atmosphere and surroundings with an excellent menu. A hidden gem.
