Our Story

Growing Business. Building People. Having Fun.

Our people are our lifeblood. Without great support and quality resources, we are nothing. We recruit staff with a passion to grow within the brand, who want to add value and become part of something bigger. 

Giving everyone a voice means that BEAR is always brimming with some great ideas, plus that way everyone feels included and never ‘just a number’! We encourage you to find your ‘better than ordinary’ and to offer something beyond your role to make our customers and team happy, every working day. We - in turn - recognise these efforts and will work hard to help you to maintain your passion.

Coffee

The coffees we serve are carefully selected from sustainable sources. Working alongside the world’s leading speciality Growers, Co-operatives, Exporters and our Coffee Roasting Team, we’re always working hard to maintain the quality of every cup, bag or pod. All of our Baristas are trained in-house to the highest standards which means that all Team Members across BEAR are consistent in their approach to coffee.

Kitchen

Whether you pop in for a freshly baked pastry or stay longer for brunch, we guarantee attention to detail on every plate. For us, it’s important to source ingredients that are local, independent or British wherever possible, so if you enjoy our popular BEAR Brunch you can be certain our ingredients haven’t travelled far! Similarly, our all-day and evening menus keep things simple with plenty of delicious options.
