Reviews in Stroud

A group of ex SHS pupils who left school in 1972 have met up three times over the last 18 months at Beacon Bar and Cafe. Yesterday 15 of us met up and enjoyed a variety of well prepared lunches from the menu having pre-ordered and paid 2 weeks ago. The venue is excellent for a sociable event, food and service could not be faulted and our lunches arrived precisely at the agreed time. We look forward to returning next year!

Very nice Sunday roast in an interesting historic pub. Generous portion sizes: a large plate full! The veg were nice and plentiful: sprouts, carrots, roast potatoes and parsnips and a ramekin of yummy cauliflower cheese. All accompanied by a jug of gravy each. Helpful staff. The only criticism is that we found the pub a little chilly in temperature – perhaps as it was a day when the weather started to get colder. Would definitely have Sunday lunch there again.

Just what you want from a village pub. Enormous portions of food, lots of atmosphere, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier - even taking time to show us a bit of the building's history

Warm welcome and delicious Sunday roast.

Excellent meal, good choices. Very popular venue and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Brilliant! We spent a fabulous family weekend in Bisley and cannot recommend The Bear Inn highly enough. Friendly staff, excellent proper pub food and a fantastic atmosphere! Thank you to the Bear team!

I took my mum and mother in law to the "seniors" lunch yesterday and had a very nice meal. The roast dinner was very generous and cooked well with plenty of veg including cauliflower cheese which was very tasty. The pudding was apple crumble and custard which again was nice. No choice of the meals but that was fine, we all enjoyed it.

Alice provides exceptional food and excellent service as always. Great atmosphere and a welcoming host, hard to beat.

Not a huge Menu, but with enough variety and choice , ( much better than having too much to choose from.) Lovely Steak meal.

Had an amazing meal here. Dog friendly pub lovely to see locals at the Bar and Dining. We both chose the Rib Steak + trimmings under £17.00 Amazing plateful Couldn’t manage a Dessert ( and my Husbands over 6’ ! ) Will definitely be returning as we visits friends near Bisley

Unfortunately there was a medical incident I had only just got my food, ordered an hour before it came when we were asked to leave due to to ambulance personal attending So cannot review

Really good experience. Table booked for ten people midweek. Service attentive. Food excellent, not quick, but fresh and worth the short wait. Great value. Thank you.

Friendly staff who were very understanding about dietary requirements - prompt service, lovely food at a very reasonable price. Thank you!

Everyone enjoyed enjoyed the food . The only thing some said they found the hotdogs a bit on the large side they did love the flavour of the hotdogs . Everyone enjoyed the afternoon and said the location was beautiful. Thank you for a very pleasant afternoon

We both enjoyed a really nice Saturday lunch at The Beacon B&K last weekend (24/05) accompanied by our canine friend Olli who tucked into his own treats. Everything was perfect, enhanced by a lovely walk from/to Painswick.

Was an excellent meal, service was a little slow, took 2 hours for a main @ … lovely staff though… food amazing as always…

Enjoyed our midweek lunchtime visit -friendly atmosphere, good food and a varied menu . Appreciated sitting near a window with wonderful scenic views.
