The Bear at Stock, Essex is now under new ownership and Richard and Brenda extend a warm welcome having tirelessly refurbished the pub. They wish to bring back some of the values that made The Bear a thriving local meeting place whilst continuing to provide some great food which has in the last few years won The Bear awards including an AA rosette for 2005/2006 for outstanding cuisine and two Michelin knife and forks for 2006).

Staff at The Bear believe that through a commitment to quality of service and value for money, they will be able to entice customers old and new, to partake in the relaxing environment they are keen to provide. Running coffee mornings, dining and providing some fine beers will help their mission to become the number 1 pub in Stock and the surrounding area.

With their refurbishment The Bear now has a warm and cosy feel to it as soon as you enter through the door with an emphasis on comfort within a traditional environment. Added to this separate function/dining rooms and a very large beer garden (perfect for al fresco dining in Summer) and The Bear is also a perfect venue for private events and functions like wedding receptions, private parties and business seminars.

My first visit to the Bear in Stock and I must say I will return. The food was cooked to perfection, we both started with scollops and bacon with a pea jus, the scallops metled in your mouth and all the flavours combined so well. We then had a rack of lamb, again cooked to perfection which was accompanied by crisp seasonal vegtables. We finished off with sweets which were good. The service was very good with the majority of waitresses giving a smile,

We had a wonderful evening which started well by being offered a choice of which table we would like to sit at....how often does that happen? The menu was relatively small but had a good variety of dishes. The mussels were cooked to perfection and everything was well presented and made with good quality ingredients. On the night we went they had a live singer (was not aware of this when we booked) which was very pleasant and not obtrusive to our meal in any way. All in all, good food and service, clearly managed by people who care about their customers. Will definitely go back.

We carried out a visit to the newly refurbished BEAR in Stock this weekend. The owners Richard and Brenda made us very welcome, the atmosphere was just right and the food excellent. This is a great family pub and resturant that I would recommend to anyone.
