About the Business

BEAR was conceived out of a passion, not just to offer great coffee, but also to create a great environment in which to enjoy it. Founded in 2014, it was the realisation of a vision that co-founder Craig Bunting had in Australia whilst enjoying such an experience and wondering why he was unable to do so back in the UK.

Craig shared his vision with an old school friend Michael Thorley and the pair, both with the same love for coffee and a keen sense of adventure, set about researching the market, learning about the product and developing their skills with a view to creating something special.

The entrepreneurial pair identified a gap in the UK market, specifically in market towns and cities around the Midlands where there was nothing competing with the large chains - they decided to open a single site in their hometown as a concept, allowing them to fine-tune a model that could be rolled out throughout the UK and internationally.

It all started with a coffee...

Established in 2014.

Specialties

From building society, to bank, to BEAR - this charming site on Derby's Iron Gate has stood empty and forgotten for 9 long years... until now. BEAR Derby sits slap-bang in the centre of the city's iconic and beautiful Cathedral Quarter; the original hotspot for high-quality food and drink. The progression to Derby seemed natural and fitting to the business, as the two founders of BEAR spent a lot of time in the city during their teenage years and consequently have a wealth of fond memories attached to the place. Offering all-day dining from a locally-sourced menu, including an abundance of fresh seasonal treats. Our coffee and cocktails menus are every bit as good as each other, and from the two we have bred a beautiful hybrid - our signature Espresso Martini - which fits so perfectly with our crafted coffee and is (seriously) the best in town. Don't believe us? Come and see for yourself.
