THE BEAR CROSS
July 2012
We had a surprise visit from our family and took them to The Bear Cross Pub just outside Kinson. After discussions with Lisa the Manageress Saturday night, we were presented with a 2-course vegan menu with 3 options per course! We decided that a main and sweet would be enough, but starters were an option as well. They've catered for us (as vegans) in the past and thought they would be a good place to go, especially with our uncle's additional allergies to certain things. Lisa is vegetarian so they have an extensive vegetarian menu with vegan options and cater for gluten free diets as well. They do serve non-veggie things but because Lisa is vegetarian, she is very respectful and will go out of her way to cater for any special dietary requirements.
We would highly recommend this pub/restaurant and they can cater for large groups if they have some notice. Perhaps Bournemouth Vegetarians and Vegans would like to visit as a group for a change? It's probably a bit more pricey but it's not as far for many (saving on fuel costs and with bus service/routes available), the food is very well presented and they have a waitress/waiter service. They may even do a deal price per head if we knew numbers? See their menu - I had the Portobello mushroom followed by chocolate pud, which was all delicious and the others enjoyed theirs. I wondered if we can go there as a group in the future and wanted to let others know about it if they have family or friends to entertain.
