The Bear’s Head has unveiled a refreshed line‑up of dishes with a focus on high‑quality food, strong value for money and a commitment to Welsh products and suppliers, aiming to create a more locally rooted, community‑led dining experience.
Lunchtime diners can choose from four pub classics for £5, while a £9.95 meal deal offers a sandwich or baguette served with a side and a drink. Jacket potatoes are also on the menu for £6.25, with a choice of six toppings.
The Bear’s Head is also introducing five weekday offers, each pairing a meal with a drink for £12.95 to provide value and variety throughout the week.
Starters, listed under “Croeso Tasters”, showcase Welsh classics or dishes built around Welsh ingredients, including Welsh rarebit and leek on toast, Wrexham beer‑battered goujons and mozzarella fries served with Pembrokeshire Chilli Farm baconator BBQ sauce.
Sundays will feature hearty, family‑style roasts such as Welsh leg of lamb, Welsh topside of beef, turkey and Vegan Wellington, all served with the pub’s signature Croeso baked leek gratin made with Teifi smoked cheese, alongside traditional trimmings.
Executive chef Jamie Newman said the launch marked The Bear’s Head’s ambition to be “a true community hub where quality food, Welsh pride, and great value come together”.
He added: “Great food doesn’t have to be expensive, it just needs to be honest, well‑sourced, and rooted in the best of Welsh produce.”
The Bear’s Head is one of nine venues owned by Croeso Pub Ltd, which also runs Cardiff city centre spots The Philharmonic and Retro nightclub, as well as Brewhouse, Blue Bell, The Dock at Mermaid Quay, The Cricketers in Pontcanna and The Discovery in Lakeside.
Croeso area director Michael Haygarth said: “Almost two years on from taking over The Bear’s Head, we’re proud to see it evolve as part of the Croeso community pub brand.
This new menu is all about celebrating Welsh suppliers, delivering real value for our guests, and creating a place where the local community can come together and enjoy great food in a welcoming setting.”
