Brown Bear
Ladytown
15/02/2025: Have wanted to go here for ages. It’s a nice place. Service was very good and it was starting to fill up as we were leaving. I’d say the atmosphere is great when it’s full. I loved that they have a nice Albarino by the glass.
As a pescatarian, I was disappointed with the options. There was only one fish for mains and tbh it wasn’t great. It felt like 2 dishes on the plate. Roasted cod with a green herb crust, samphire and courgette with a touch of lemon. That was delicate and fresh. Served with muscles that were the smallest I’ve ever seen, in a rich tomato and creamy sauce. Despite not being sure I was eating muscles due to them disappearing in the sauce, the sauce overwhelmed everything else on the plate. Both halves of the plate were very tasty, but I think they didn’t go together. That could just be me though. However, there was no other option besides an Asian roast cauliflower dish. I think that in this day and age, a bit more variety for non meat eaters is expected.
My husband has sausages and mash with a Yorkshire pudding. He said it was nice but a bit dry. A tiny little pot of gravy came with it but it couldn’t do much for the YP. He didn’t ask for more which I’m sure they’d have given him, no problem.
Overall, a bit disappointing. But I’d say if you eat meat it’s probably a great place as their menu sounds tasty and interesting. Best focaccia I’ve ever had with a superb dip. I’d go back just for that!
11/02/2025: We had our wedding reception at the Brown Bear. Jean and the team are absolutely fantastic. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a great evening. No request was ever to big.
Thank you all again for making our day so special!
Look forward to visiting in the future. The Brown Bear will always hold a special place in our hearts!
Keith, Amy and Croía
