I was quite impressed on this first visit to The Black Bear. Some serves (including salad) were very generous and the range was good. Bundaberg soft drinks were available, served in a glass with ice. The outdoor, covered eating area was pleasant (despite it being a hot day) and we could set up a little spot for our new puppy that was out of everyone's way. Another well-behaved dog arrived with "mistress" during our stay which encouraged communication. Service was quicker than I expected and dishes were cleared after we finished rather than after we left. Most importantly, the presentation, cleanliness and staff efficiency made us feel this was a healthy place to visit. Oh yes, one member of our group did some Christmas shopping from the many lovely non-food items available for purchase. Highly recommended.
