Located on the first floor of Derby’s vibrant and buzzing Derbion shopping centre, this BEAR store has bloomed off the back of the incredible success of our gorgeous spot over in the city’s Cathedral Quarter.

We wanted to bring some of that familiar High Street character to the centre, and we’ve done that by sectioning the vast area in to smaller, cosier sections and added comfy seating, as well as softening our usual warm colour palate slightly to compliment the light, airy atmosphere of the mall.

BEAR Derbion is a snug little haven that you can use to escape all that retail hustle.

    We're were ignored at the greeting area for at least 8 minutes, so we walked to the coffee bar, where we were told to 'wait a minute' while the girl behind the coffee bar studied an iPad. She didn't look up again, didn't greet us other than to tell us to wait, and did not acknowledge me at all when I told her 'we'll leave it, thanks'. I have never been totally ignored in a restaurant before, and I would have thought that in a city with so much competition it is a risky strategy. Any way, we went instead to The Exeter Arms, where the greeting was warm and friendly, the service was attentive, and the food was awesome. I was more than happy to hand over my 50 quid for two beers, two g&t's, and two delicious lunches. Top tip - give Bear a miss and try the Exeter.

    The service was very friendly and the food arrived promptly. Quality of food was reasonable. Toilet areas are in need of a good cleaning.

    Ordered two House Full breakfasts. Arrived quickly but it’s apparent that some items are precooked. Bacon very crispy but ok. Sausages over done. Mushrooms overwhelmed with herbs and garlic. Not very tasty. Not a bad breakfast but I’ve had better.

    No chicken so all four of our guests had to change our menu choices. Staff are rude, arrogant and above their station. Everything is too much hassle, and the food is overpriced.
