Myself and my partner loved this place. We go regularly and have been loyal customers for some time taking friends and family, sadly today was different. We booked two tables for two separate households, and all we asked was if we could be seated close by as we knew each other (We also asked this when we booked and the lady said we absolutely could if the tables were available, fab!). The place was half empty when we arrived with plenty of tables next to each other, but despite this our request was refused and we were seated at opposite ends of the floor. The staff then proceeded to seat complete strangers on the tables next to us. Both our households ended up sitting on tables next to strangers, but our two households couldn't be seated next to each other? Very disappointed and upset that a place we have championed for so long couldn't be accommodating to two households who just wanted to be as close as reasonably possible in line with the rules. We understand it's a tough time for hospitality and we chose The Purple Bear today as it's a venue we want to survive. We are also going through hard times (as are most people) and went out for some enjoyment within the guidelines. Sadly we were met by judgement and a bad experience. Certainly left questioning whether we want to return in the future.

Fab food fab staff love the place
We had the BBQ feast and it wasn't really a feast. The ribs had hardly any meat and were cremated so they had a weird taste. The chicken wings were tiny and again had hardly any meat on them. We went to Man Vs food a few days later which was a little cheaper and had the sharing platter there and it was much better. Better taste, portions, price, quality of meat etc. The small portion of pulled pork we got was delicious though however they skimped on the sauce a bit. If I ever went again (which I wouldn't out of choice) I'd probably go for the pulled pork burger. I was sorely disappointed for the amount they charge.
Usually would be 5 stars. Lots of drinks unavailable but was due to coming second lockdown. Food great, drinks good of what they had, great staff.
Hidden gem. Loved the deco and the food. Very nice staff and atmosphere. Will definitely go back. The background music was also great. Good \DJ\ :)
