About The Bear Inn

The Bear Inn is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

The Bear Inn is a traditional country inn with a cosy, old‑world pub interior and rustic character.

Venue highlights: The Bear Inn holds a licence for civil ceremonies, allowing couples to host both ceremony and reception at the venue. The venue provides in‑house catering and a kitchen that serves dishes beyond standard pub fare, including game, fish and roast menus. The property includes ensuite guest rooms and separate dog‑friendly cottages that enable events to extend into overnight stays.

Best for: Weddings and wedding receptions, private celebratory meals, and multi‑day group getaways that require on‑site accommodation.

Location: Shining Cliff Woods and the surrounding Derbyshire countryside offer immediate walking routes and scenic spots suitable for post‑ceremony photos and short countryside strolls for guests.

What guests say: The food is consistently restaurant‑quality, with game, fish and roast dishes receiving regular praise. The service is friendly and efficient, and the bedrooms and cottages are comfortable and dog‑friendly.
