From building society, to bank, to BEAR – this ornate old banking hall site on Derby’s Iron Gate stood empty and forgotten for 9 long years… until we came along.

BEAR Iron Gate, Derby sits slap-bang in the centre of the city’s iconic and beautiful Cathedral Quarter; the original hotspot for high-quality food and drink. Opening in 2017 following the success of our Uttoxeter store, the progression to Derby seemed natural for BEAR, as our two founders spent a lot of time in the city as teens, so they have loads of fun memories attached to the place.

Booked a table for two well in advance for 7pm on a Friday evening. Went to the till to order food and drink to be told one dish wasn't available and there was a 30 minute wait for food. Returned to my friend and chose an alternative. In the two minutes since I was last at the till the chef had decided that there would be no more food orders. The lady at the till apologised and wasn't sure what to do. She didn't offer us a drink or an explanation. I'm sure the food is lovely bur I wouldn't know because we didn't get any!
