The Bear and Ragged Staff in Cumnor has recently closed for refurbishment following its takeover by Peach Pubs, a small independent chain of pub/restaurants with four other locations in Oxfordshire. The Bear will reopen on 9th March after a £250,000 makeover to bring the building up to standard and keep it as a community hub as well as a destination for visitors.
The restaurant area will be refurbished, the spacious front bar area will be updated, gardens landscaped and the nine bedrooms will be redecorated.
Other local venues include The Fleece in Witney, The Thatch and The James Figg in Thame and The Fishes in North Hinksey which we recently visited – see our review here
Bitten will be visiting the revamped Bear as soon as we can and will let you know what it’s like!
