BEAR Hockley is perched slap-bang in the middle of Nottingham's creative neighbourhood. With its small red frontage nestled in amongst the rainbow colours of Carlton Street, the store has a lot more to show off inside than first meets the eye. Expect light, breezy decor, cosy coffee & cocktail nooks, and (our favourite feature) a beautiful glass roof that floods the place with natural sunlight.

    We had a lovely family brunch at Bear, Nottingham. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food & drinks were lovely. It’s our second visit and we will definitely be returning.

    Great food, friendly staff. Not so keen on the fact that you have to place your order at the bar now rather than at the table, as it makes it a less relaxing experience.

    Nice place with a good vibe. We went for brunch. Very small portions at a high price. Coffee was like warm and had to be replaced. Service was ok. Good seating

    I booked beforehand and it was empty when I arrived but soon got full and I can understand why. It's probably not going to be for everyone but I loved it. The staff were friendly, service was quick and the food/ drink was perfect. I'm already arranging a date to go back.
