About the Bear & Ragged Staff

Everything you could want from a country pub and restaurant.

Our story

We are a young and passionate partnership bringing fresh energy and vision to the heart of the countryside. With over 20 years of culinary experience, our Head Chef has honed his skills in professional kitchens to deliver restaurant-quality food with a focus on bold flavours, seasonal produce, and classic country style dishes. Alongside him, our Front of House Manager brings warmth, professionalism, and a dedication to creating a welcoming atmosphere where guests feel at home the moment they walk through the door.
 
Together, we’re reimagining the traditional country pub — combining the charm and character people love with a modern dining experience. From Thursday to Sunday, our menu will showcase hearty pub classics, refined specials, and locally sourced ingredients, all served with genuine hospitality.
 
Our mission is simple: to make the pub the beating heart of the community once again — a place to eat, drink, and gather, with food and service that rivals the very best restaurants.
 
Look forward to seeing you all
