"A lovely pub in a pretty village outside Stroud, The Bear Inn has recently been taken over by new owners. I understand from regulars to whom we spoke that there was some trepidation about their arrival, because the previous landlord and landlady had set a fairly high bar for food and drink. They need not have worried. The food at The Bear is absolutely excellent; genuinely good for a pub even in this area of decent pubs. The beer (I had Timothy Taylor's Landlord and the wine are of equal quality. I like to be honest in my reviews so I will mention a couple of things I didn't like. The telephone ringer and the service chimes from the kitchen are loud and intrusive; this is easily fixed, of course, and I'm sure it's something they will get around to. The Christmas decorations are blue and white, which lends a harsh lighting to the room; red would have been nicer and softer. Again, this is only temporary. I have visited the Bear a number of times over the years and at this time of year the large open fire in the main bar is always a beautiful and cosy feature; it's not currently being used and I think that is a huge shame. (The pub is warm, though, and there is a log burner in the second bar. I hope they'll start the fire again. My main complaint is the music playing in the background; I can go to any Beefeater or town pub and listen to Mariah Carey, or ACDC (though I wouldn't , but this is a charming village pub with clear aspirations to be something special (as the food demonstrates . It's not (on two visits a million miles away from a Michelin star; which Michelin Star resaurant would have this kind of music on? I would prefer none at all, and just the gentle hubbub of conversation and laughter, but if there has to be some couldn't it be something more in keeping with the age and general ambience of The Bear? A little Louis Armstrong, maybe? Or classical music? Again, I'm sure this can be addressed once they find their feet. Please don't let these quibbles put you off. We had a great dinner in a lovely pub with nice staff and chatty locals. Highly recommended."

"Telephoned and booked overnight in our small campervan as a stopover on our way to Devon. They have one spot at the side of the pub for a small camper but we were also told that the local primary school, just around the corner lets you stay in their car park overnight throughout the school holidays for a small fee Honesty box on the wall) What a lovely greeting we received by Karl and we were made to feel very welcome. The village of Miserden was peacefull. beautiful and idyllic. We parked and stayed for the evening, drinks selection great, they also made me my favoutire Gin drink. We both had Sunday dinners, which we both really enjoyed. Beef was generous, veg cooked perfect and roast potatoes were superb! I had a bread and butter pudding which was lovely. Staff, owners and other village customers were really chatty and our eveinng was a relaxed , fun ,cosy and homely atmosphere. We had a great night and slept really well as it was really quiet in the evening. We had such a nice time on the way home from Devon, we decided to stopover again. As it was impromtu, we stayed in the School Car Park. School teacher arrived to work, who was really friendly and advided us there was a public toilet, open through the night , just a little way down, over the road. This was helpful for us. Again, had another great chatty evening in the Carpenters Arms and this will be our stopover when we travel South again. Remeber, your night is what you make it, join in converstatons, ask questions, speak up if asked if everything is alright or if you would like something, I asked for extra gravy and a special drink making, nothing too much trouble. Thank you to everyone, we felt very much part of the Miserden Community."

"The reviews, to put it mildly are very generous. I know the pub trade has had a tough time,,, But this pub needs help. On entry, a tired pub, with a basic selection of beers. The food menu, is grim reading, Food a teenager could whip up, warm up real easy. The best selection we made wasthe Cheesy nachos served with homemade salsa, guacamole and sour cream dip A good one to share and tasty. £7.95 My main, The unique, home-cooked 3 Shu Pie is made up of 3 different sections. In the first is bubbling cauliflower/broccoli cheese, the middle is made of creamy mashed potato with vegetables folded in and the final section is a choice of one of our delicious fillings In this case steak and Kidney all topped with a soggy Filo Pastry lid In reality, This ranks as the WORST PUB pie i have EVER been served. A 2 in one pie can work, 3 in one, No way ever. In this case, after lifting the naff filo lid, there is nothinf=g but stodge, The cauliuflower section is poor, The mash basic, and the bit you go for a meat pie, in this case steak and Kidney, total rip off, Maybe .50p of meat at most, Because its now less than a 1/3rd of the pie, it need to be damned good, the gravy runny and bland, The steak tiny sugar cude sized bits, ie i=f you took a decent sized chunk, cut it up, there would be enough for 2 pies i'd say. What brings this home was last week i was in Scarborough, And stopped at a petrol staion, Where i bought a £2 Steak pie to die for, It had 4 times the meat, And was a million times better than this £13.45 version. Sorry if sounding like a mad man, But steak and ale pies have to be right, its the law ! Our other meal was the Frozen beer battered haddock, 4/10 The Kitchen was ULTRA Slow, So if planning a get together, bring a party game or something"
