The Bears Paw, originally a 17th century farmhouse with a not so common name and who’s origin comes in many forms, a type of Snow-Shoe, The shell of an East Indian Clam, a soup (which is outlawed in many countries) or a type of popular...pastry, with the latter being more apt for this lovely British Inn pub cum restaurant.
Though this is my first visit my foodie partner for the evening is well acquainted with both Knutsford and The Bear Paw, which is surprising to some as she lives on the south coast.
We could have opted for the lovely setting of the courtyard, but as evening approached the cooler breeze was building a tad too much. So inside and the lovely ambience awaited us as did the staff. I have to say we were greeted with lovely warm smiles and assistance, now whether this was due to the recognition of my partner I wasn’t too sure, until a another couple came in shortly after and was given the same treatment. That’s nice, and what a lovely way to start the evening.
