View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Bears Head:
Great atmosphere at the bears head and staff are very efficient and friendly. But unfortunately the standard of the food recently is very poor . I use this place to meet up with friend and have food once a week but I think we will be looking for a different place to eat in future. May they have changed cooks ? View all feedback.

Bit better than your standard spoons, cheap and cheerful service and looks fairly recently refurbished if not then it's just well kept.
