The Bear & Ragged Staff

The Bear & Ragged Staff is a historic country inn and gastropub in the village of Cumnor, Oxfordshire, in the United Kingdom. It is operated as part of the Peach Pubs group, a collection of pubs and inns, and appears on Peach Pubs' own website as one of its houses. The pub combines the traditional character of an old English coaching inn — ancient fireplaces, beamed ceilings and a relaxed, lived-in atmosphere — with a modern food-led pub offer. The kitchen serves what the pub describes as simple ingredients prepared without pretence or shortcuts, with a menu that includes steaks from Aubrey Allen, seasonal dishes such as Wild Woodland Turkey, and native fish. The bar stocks well-kept ales, carefully chosen wines and cocktails. The pub states that it supports British farmers, fishermen and producers who share its values. It has received a rosette award, reflecting recognition for its cooking. Beyond food and drink, The Bear & Ragged Staff offers accommodation, so guests can dine, drink or stay the night. It also hosts private parties and larger bookings, and participates in the Peach Pubs loyalty programme, Peach Perks, through which members earn Peach Pounds on food, drinks and stays, receive early access to menus and events, and can order and pay from their table via an app. The pub is strongly associated with its location in Cumnor, near Oxford, and its name refers to the heraldic bear and ragged staff, a device long connected with the Earls of Warwick and common in English inn names. As a Peach Pubs site, it benefits from the group's central booking, rewards and marketing platform while retaining its own identity as a village inn.
