Over the coming months we will be introducing a selection of delicious gins for you to try at the Bear Hotel. Make sure you head down to ensure you don't miss the gin of the moment!
The Bear Hotel, Hungerford is one of the oldest and most historic Inns in England and is reputed to date back to the 13th Century. Hungerford is a charming market town in the heart of The North Wessex Downs, which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and only 5 minutes from the M4. The Bear is full of character and has its own Island, known as Bear Island. All 39 bedrooms are ensuite, some of which do have balconies which overlook Bear Island. The Bear also has its own self-contained function site for 80 guest, perfect for weddings and special occasions. Enjoy our delicious menu that includes a selection of traditional favourites, complemented by a fine wine list and cask-conditioned real ales.
Went in with my partner. Lovely hotel and great menu. However, it was freezing cold and the “woman” behind the bar was unwelcoming, arrogant and also rude to another staff member in front of me. She clearly has an attitude problem. Glad I don’t work with her, she’s vile in every way. Learn some manners! Great food though so credit where it’s due
We had a wedding lunch and dinner and stayed for two nights at the Bear. I was immediately impressed by the attention we got when we were organising the event. The staff were all so friendly and accommodating. They made it very easy to book all the rooms and pre-order food. We went for a visit before the day to confirm everything and Jasmine was amazing, so kind and helpful. On the actual day, there was flooding in the grounds of the hotel but I wouldn't have known because everyone continued to keep everything running for us. I honestly was so amazed at how friendly and calm the staff were even when dealing with such a difficult situation. Corina even found time to ask us if we wanted lunch by the fire. Thank you so much for making out wedding day so special. We will be back! Jess and Damian
Sorry to say don't go on a friday even though booking in advance we. Had to wait 50 min an the Christmas Dinner was a disaster the turkey was fine but it was cold as was the rest of the food the sprouts, and carrots were uncooked the so called Yorkshire soft &floppy weird & the roast potatoes tasted & looked like they were left over from the day before,so I had the turkey a d sent the rest back, oh yes I forgot pigs in blankets were great freshly cooked hot & delicious
Excellent Hotel, Old and quirky, with rooms off from the Hotel, bar and restaurant, nice room, could do with some tlc, comfy bed, little noisy due to the original old windows not been a good fit, but a warm room. The main Hotel with the pub and restaurant had evening meal was excellent, food plentiful and well cooked and an excellent meal, had the stacked burger with pulled pork, amazing all I can say, service excellent, breakfast next morning was again very good, plentiful and all freshly cooked. Look forward to visiting again as great location and very nice.
We stayed here for 3 nights, there were some issues with the room (it's an old building!) But the staff, especially Jasmine, were absolutely amazing. Sorted everything with a smile and made our stay extra special. The food here is amazing, the lamb shank especially recommended (our thanks to Paula, for great service) but everyone at the Bear is amazing. Comfy beds, good food, lovely people, delicious breakfast, what more could you ask for? Well done team Bear x

The John O'Gaunt Free House and Brewpub is a listed 16th century building which has been sympathetically restored, keeping many original features. It is steeped in charm and situated in the heart of the historic town of Hungerford.
