The Crazy Bear

This traditional 16th-century inn has something of an art deco theme with leather-bound tables, lots of mirrors, atmospheric lighting, and a ceiling of binned wine bottles combining with the original features. The bedrooms are decorated in dramatic style, making an overnight stay after dinner an attractive option. It's a relaxing and popular place, with well-informed and friendly staff. Modern British dishes with lots of international influences are prepared using the best ingredients, and dishes are simply but effectively presented. Start with mackerel pâté on toasted sour dough, before a main course of braised ox cheek with creamed potato, mushrooms, orange and red wine braising juices, or smoked haddock with colcannon mash and poached egg. Finish with rhubarb crumble and custard.
