About THE BEAR AND STAFF

THE BEAR AND STAFF is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

THE BEAR AND STAFF is a Victorian pub housed in a period building that preserves its traditional frontage and bar, and it carries a historical connection through its Charlie Chaplin name.

Venue highlights: A ground-floor bar sits beneath a separate upstairs dining area that can be used for private dining or group meals. The pub's in-house catering provides tailored menus and multiple vegetarian options. The pavement tables extend the hire footprint and provide an outdoor reception area for informal drinks.

Best for: Pre- and post-theatre gatherings, informal private dining and family celebrations, and after-work socials.

Location: Leicester Square's Theatre District surrounds the venue and places it amid multiple theatres and evening entertainment, making onward plans for guests straightforward.

What guests say: The menu delivers consistently well-executed British pub dishes such as pies, fish and chips and bangers and mash. The upstairs dining area has a convivial, relaxed atmosphere that works well for group meals.
