Come and Enjoy...
The Crown & Bear is a family run pub on Brading high street. As a business established in 2017 the standout product has always been the British classic "The Roast Dinner", particularly the bears signature sharing platters.
People come from near and far to enjoy the Bears roasts all year round and many have raved about their goodness. Many businesses have tried to copy the Bears roasts but no one has been able to match the quality and quantity produced consistently by the Bear.
All our roasts are freshly cooked and our meat is locally sourced from Hampshire, but the Bears cooking techniques are top secret... recipes passed down through generations of Mr Bears family.
