Quirky and cool

I visited the Bear today for the first time mainly after reading the positive reviews on here and i wasn't disappointed. The food was tasty and beautifully presented with good vegan options and the service was good. They had run out of some of the dishes but we were eating rather late on in the day and they are in process of changing to a new menu so all was forgiven. The shop downstairs is also worth a look!

Pros: Tasty, Good value, Pleasant surroundings
Cons: Some of menu unavailable

great for shopping - has lots of scrummy treats as well as staples for everyday meals. Have yet to try the cafe as I'm pretty muh always steered to Costermonger a few places down - but it seems to offer vegan/veggie fayre even omnivores would enojoy! Great for me also as the ony other thing nearby is Holland and Barret....

Pros: choice of foods, friednly staff, healthy options
Cons: brands can be expensive, no parking, no jute bags etc

....from the Pennine rain. The cafe is upstairs in a beautiful old Co-op building, the food is good and unpretentious (it's a cafe not a restaurant)and prices low. The staff upstairs and down seem to be all women and they give you a friendly welcome. Great stuff.

Pros: Prices, Food, Atmosphere
