Hungry Bear
Sunday Roasts
Sundays are all about the Hungry Bear Roast, there isn't much doubt that the Bears Roast is one of the BEST on the Island. I think this is because of the wonderful flavour of the food particularly the meats and also the good quality of the portion size.
We cater for Gluten Free, Cubs and Veggie Bears.
Hungry Bear offers his signature sharing roast platters for you and the family to enjoy as well as individually plated roasts. The Hungry Bear menu also includes a selection of Nanna Bears homemade Puddings.

Our Story
The Bear Family
The concept for The Hungry Bear was originally conceived in 2017 – by Stuart with the support of his partner Dayna – as a travelling kitchen, bringing restaurant-standard food to pop-up events around the island.
When the chance for a residency at the old Isle of Wight Lavender Farm came up, the Bear family took it; with many more bears coming down the long windy line to eat the Hungry Bear’s food (the first of a now large and loyal following).
In September 2018, a new opportunity arose at Fakenham Farm; and, following a quick refurb, The Hungry Bear in its current form was born.
The Bear settled into their new home and simultaneously started their own family; Hafthor was born on the 16th December 2018 at 30 weeks, and is now a happy, healthy, bouncing baby boy.
Summer 2019 was the rise of the evenings as the Bears began to pick up trade from visitors and islanders alike; who were keen to try out the Bears evening menus, which were a great success.
The Hungry Bear proved extremely popular for Christmas parties in 2019 & 2020 (tables of up to six) selling out every weekend.
