Our store in Wimborne, Dorset, breathes life into a beautiful Grade II listed building that once housed The Bell Hotel, a local landmark since the 19th century. The patio space, once home to an old glassblowing building, is the perfect little sun trap to enjoy a coffee, a bite to eat, or a cocktail or two.

Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee or staying longer for brunch, our Wimborne store presents the perfect blend of heritage and modern comfort in the heart of this historic town.

    Bear is a firm favourite with our family and our Christmas brunch did not disappoint. We enjoyed a selection of meals from the brunch menu and the lunch menu including the 3 different burgers, the smashed Mac and the sweet potato and chickpea hash special. All were devoured and very much enjoyed. The coffee is always good and some of the party enjoyed a larger on tap and commented on its smoothness. This was my first weekend brunch and my only negative was no free coffee with the brunch which I now see is an offer that runs Monday - Friday. We were seated at the large high table which might not be for everyone with backless chairs and in the center of the restaurant and thoroughfare so busy and better suited for a quick coffee rather than a longer brunch but I will remember this when booking again. Eating out is not cheap but we felt £100 for 7 of us including a few beers was good value and very much enjoyed. Thanks to all.

    Nice modern design inside an old pub. Food fantastic, great choice and delicious! It’s order at the bar which isn’t ‘service’ and then very slow to clear. But will be back to try again.

    Staff and ambience all good. Unfortunately one item from our order was missed, addressed by staff, and we didn’t particularly enjoy pickled veg with our choices and feel this should be optional. Second visit to Bear and I’m sure we will return.

    Really great, freshly made cocktails, nice staff, helpful but felt like they were a little understaffed the waiter appeared very new and there was no pleasantries or small talk just transactional. Food we ordered Katsu chicken burgers, they were tasty and the fries were crispy and hot, nothing special but it was ok. Restaurant is super bright it was like being in a daytime cafe and it is noisy, I couldn’t hear what my friend was saying. It is decorated nicely and toilets were clean. I would go for cocktail, I would go back and try their coffee and breakfast but not for me for an evening, feels too like a coffee shop, turned pop up restaurant in the evening.
