Located in Devizes’ town centre, The Bear is within 200 metres of shops and restaurants. Locally sourced produce is served in both the relaxed Bear Grills Bistro. Free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV feature in each room. Ales brewed 150 metres away are delivered by horse and cart to The Bear Hotel and are served in its cosy bars. Live music is played weekly in the soundproofed, 14th-century cellar bar at The Bear Hotel.

With blue panelled walls and a large open-fire, the bistro offers freshly made burgers, char-grilled steaks and vegetarian dishes, as well as a varied children’s menu.
