Bear Of Burton

Channelling a traditional boozer aesthetic, elevated with a few contemporary touches, Bear of Burton is a popular pub in Christchurch. Make your way past the gorgeous garden to find a charming watering hole decked out with vintage chairs and ornate carpets. On the walls? Dark wooden shelves showcasing books, unique ornaments and old school photographs.

While many visit for the mouthwatering food and drink, it also hosts live music events and afternoon teas. If you need somewhere to kip for the night, you're in luck, as this joint is home to beautifully restored country inn rooms.

Kickstart your morning with a gorgeous breakfast, gobbling down eggs and full Englishes. Or if you make your way over later in the day, you can find stunning British dishes, such as South Coast pork chops, plus a foraged mushroom, celeriac and black truffle lasagne. For those of you who fancy something liquid, there's a rotating range of craft lagers, seasonal ales and exclusive wines up for grabs.
