“Overlooking the historic market place of Wantage in Oxfordshire for over 500 years, The Bear Hotel has always been a staging point for weary travellers…The Bear offers everything you would expect from a modern hotel, restaurant and bar.” That probably depends on your point of view, because the Bear sponsored (ie helped to fund) a point to point fundraising day for the Old Berkshire Hunt in April 2024, an ‘event’ held just down the road from the pub at Lockinge. The Bear is part of the Arkell’s Brewery group, a family-owned business which chose to advertise on the events page of another hunt, the Vale of White Horse, and was featured on the hunt’s homepage as of October 2024.
