Used to love going here but last few times it’s been disappointing. Food and cocktails are nice but the place could do with a touch up. Upstairs needs closing off. Decor is coming off the walls and they’re all chipped - desperately needs maintaining. The pool table was awful, wonky and needed re-felting. Might order takeaway but won’t be visiting again.

Very poor value for money, when the food eventually arrived (45 minutes late) I was really shocked at the portion sizes. Was really glad I ordered nachos as well otherwise I would have been scratching around in my kitchen cupboards. To say this takeaway should have been £40 without a promotional code is borderline disgusting. I can categorically say I will not be using this establishment again. To summarise food arrived late, therefore was cold which impacted the flavour, the mozzarella sticks were like party cocktail sized and pretty much tasteless. Burrito was stone cold mush with not much ratio filling to tortilla wrap (see photos) worst takeaway I’ve had in long time, I would not recommend.

I booked the bottomless Christmas themed night for my work's Christmas party and everyone had the best time! Food was lovely, drinks were great and the service was impeccable! I was worried with there being so many of us that it would be a nightmare, but the team at Darwin and Bear really looked after us with zero issues! They even went out of their way to put on the karaoke for us as it was highly requested!! Thank you to the whole team who worked on Friday because some of our team have said that they think it's one of the best Christmas parties they've had!

Kudos to the Darwin and Bear eating house for being the only food place open on the road it's situated at 9 pm on a Saturday. The food was ok 6/10. It was served quickly and the restaurant team paid attention to patrons. A point worth making is that most of the diners were under 20 years of age and a little rowdy and immature. The atmosphere was youthful. The restaurant team were in their very early twenties at the most and handled themselves well and were professional at all times. The food is on a Mexican theme and is effectively fast food. The fries were cooked well and the chicken hot wings were very tasty. The DB Mexican rice was dry and shouldn't have been served. The summary is, it's worth a visit as the beers were cold and smooth. The food was tasty considering it was fast food. The front door was constantly being left open by the patrons who had very little concern for anyone but themselves. Due to the door close mechanism being faulty. This needs immediate attention as your food gets cold very quickly. It's a bit pricy.

Ordered from here as a collection.. can't comment on service or anything.. ordered a burrito too which couldnt complain about but over £6 for nachos (see image) absolutely will not be ordering from here again.

On arrival stood waiting unsure if we would be greeted and directed to our table, we was gestured in a direction to find our own table. The table was filthy. We had to wait for over an hour for our food, the pizza was under cooked and the bottoms still doughy. My wife asked for some mayo for the wedges, she was told I'm clearing some tables ill bring it after. We had a table booked for 1930 didn't leave until 2200. Wouldn't go again.

Would not recommend. Got there and said I have booked a table I was given menus and told to find the booth upstairs. Which was filthy. We sat for a while until I went to bar amd asked if you ha e to order at bar which you did. Would have been good idea to tell us that on arrival. Food took a long time to come when it did come I asked for mayonnaise and he said yes but I'm clearing some tables first. My table was booked for 7.30 and we left at 10.Food quality wasn't great but not horrendous either.

An authentic Mexican dining experience!I just never realised that in Mexico the drinks all taste watered down and “nachos” translates to “bowl of dry tortilla chips with no dips”.Underwhelming food, slow service and the staff seemed like they’d rather be anywhere else.Frankly, I wish I’d gone anywhere else, too!
