And the struggle continues ☹️…

the serious staffing shortages at our pubs has meant that I am in the kitchen full time at the moment…

and due to my pathetic inability of being in 2 places at once 🙄 this means I can’t operate the van again this weekend up at Milverton….

I really hope to be back doing our regular Friday night feasts up at the Rec soon and will keep you posted.

I’m still able to commit to the private bookings I have (don’t worry!) and we’ll be serving up some yummy breakfast at the car boot on bank holiday Monday followed by some delicious food during the Haus Band on Monday afternoon.

If you know any chefs please point them our way!!

13/08/2021

According to the forecast the weather will be dry and sunny(ish!) tomorrow for our weekly visit to Milverton Rec! 🤞🏻☀️🍻

We’re sampling a couple of new dishes tonight so just a limited menu - then we’ll post our regular line-up soon...

The Recreation ground at Milverton is blessed with stunning views and a large play area for kids, and the club is open selling drinks to enjoy outside - what better way to finish the week??!! 🐻🚚☀️

15/01/2021

Our Hungry Bear is going into hibernation...we tried the winter months but they weren’t kind!

While we’d love to continue coming to our local stops we feel that we can reach people more easily and safely through our new delivery service from The Bear Inn www.thebearwiveliscombe.co.uk starting next week.

Sorry to those that have been visiting - hopefully we can deliver to you instead...

Don’t worry - we’ll be back as soon as the suns out and things have settled a little bit...and we can enjoy evenings like this...🌻🌈🤞🏻

Stay safe everyone! 🐻🚎

Hi all - as the sun sets on a truly difficult year we’d like to take a moment to thank you all so very much for the support you’ve shown...

The Hungry Bear will be taking a little break until after New Year...I’m afraid that, due to the current situation and various members of staff needing to isolate we will not be at the Monument as we had planned on New Years Eve & New Years Day...sorry 😕...
But we’ll be back in the New Year and will post updated details of where we’ll be & when shortly...

In the meantime we’d like to wish you all a Happy & Healthy New Year...🐻🚎💗

27/12/2020

24/12/2020

Set of keys have been handed into us at Wellington monument. Hoping someone sees this are realises it’s there keys. We will keep them safe in the van for now.
