Come to wembley to watch england play germany, what a fantastic bar(i think it is too nice for wembley). The food is very (wish my local pub served food like this). The staff are good fun and friendly,
The larger is at a good price tonight at £1.85 for foster but some thing tell me tomorrow will be a different day £3.00 ??????? but this will not stop me and my wife going back in later on tonight or tomorrow,
At least a glass of coke will still be £1.00 not like the greyhound £4.00 per coke come on please it is coke not gold,
Well done to Damene Andrew Hepworth DPS(what ever DPS means)
Try it people we did and loved the food

Hi everyone, since the Old Post Office gone and The Bear has landed, It is clean and tidy and the staff are very friendly.
It is nice to see cask ale on there now and at £1.50 per pint i could not believe my eyes,
The only thing i would say is the prices on Wembley match days to go up but hey so does everywhere in the area.
I would say the 2 steaks and a bottle of wine is an amazing offer.
The manager was very chatty person you can tell he is from yorkshire

From the outside, it still looks like the Post Office it used to be, complete with the old post box built into the wall. Part of the Barracuda chain which generally means avoid like the plague, but given the lack of any real decent pubs in this neck of the woods, the choice is generally this or the Wetherspoons next door. The interior is quite spacious and divided up into several sections although you need to avoid eye contact with the hideous deckchair material carpet. The staff do not exactly leap out of their way to serve you and on my visit all 3 ales (Green King IPA, Old Speckled Hen and Courage Best) were all off so clearly something needs to be done on a staffing level. Apart from the aforementioned carpet, the décor is pleasing on the eye with tasteful modern prints and plenty potted plants although there is an abundance of empty shelves just calling out for some old books, jugs, urns etc. Multiple screens satisfy the TV addicts and the music was unobtrusive. It is all very clean, tidy and functional but not worthy of making a special trip to find.

Now open as The Bear. (opened on Thursday 3rd May.
Trying in vain to copy JJ Moon's next door... menu with special prices, special food & drink price combos. Now selling real ales (GK Old Speckled Hen @ £1.80 & IPA, Courage Best) at time of visit. Other draught beers range from £3+ per pint. The bar already has a leaky ceiling! Background music playing but amusement machine volume far too high. Plasma screens for sports.

Further to my earlier post, it is due to reopen soon as The Bear; badged as a Juniper pub which is still part of the Barracuda group. Looks quite smart from the outside through the window... we'll see... Hope it's an improvement on the Old Post Office!
