😂😂 AIN’T YOU GLAD THESE TWO ARE LEAVING TOO?! 😂😂

This is what happens when you give them a few hours off! 🤣🍻

Can’t take them anywhere, can’t leave them unattended and definitely can’t let them have a day off! 🤦‍♀️😂

And people wonder why we’re all bloody crackers at The Bear! 🤣❤️

❤️🍻 WOW… WHAT A WAY TO CELEBRATE OUR LAST SATURDAY AT THE BEAR! 🍻❤️

Where do we even begin? 🥹❤️

What an absolutely incredible, emotional and unforgettable night!

So much love, laughter, singing, dancing, hugs, stories, memories and, of course, a few tears along the way! 🥹💔

The amount of people who came out tonight to celebrate our last Saturday with us has been absolutely overwhelming. We honestly can’t put into words just how much it has meant to us both. ❤️

We knew tonight was going to be emotional, but bloody hell, you lot really know how to pull on the heartstrings! 😭❤️

Looking around tonight and seeing so many familiar faces, people we’ve laughed with, cried with, celebrated with and probably told to behave themselves once or twice 😂, has reminded us just how special the last 3 and a half years have been.

The Bear has never just been a pub to us. It’s been our home, our life and one big, slightly dysfunctional family! 🤣❤️

We’ve made friendships that will last a lifetime, shared some incredible memories and had the privilege of getting to know so many amazing people.

Tonight was everything we could have wished for and more. The atmosphere, the love in the room, the singing, the dancing and everyone coming together to give us one last proper Bear Saturday night! 🐻🍻

And a massive thank you to our amazing DJ Scott for stepping in and helping us make tonight one to remember! 🎶❤️

There were moments tonight when we just looked around and thought, how lucky are we to have all these people in our lives? 🥹

We’ve always said it’s the people who make a pub, and tonight you proved that more than ever.

Thank you to everyone who came to see us, everyone who gave us a hug, everyone who shared a memory and everyone who has supported us throughout our time here.

You really have no idea how much we love and appreciate you all. ❤️

We’re excited for our next adventure, but leaving behind something we’ve put our hearts and souls into for the last 3 and a half years certainly isn’t easy.

We’ll miss the madness, the banter, the familiar faces, the laughter and even those of you who have driven us absolutely bloody crackers! 😂❤️

If we had to choose one way to celebrate our last Saturday at The Bear, tonight would have been it. ❤️

You gave us a night we’ll never forget, and memories we’ll carry with us forever.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! 🥹❤️

We love you all so bloody much, and don’t think you’re getting rid of us that easily! 🤣🍻

The end of an era, but never the end of the friendships. ❤️🐻

All our love,

John & Sam ❤️🍻

Pete, thank you so, so much! 🥰

What a lovely, thoughtful thing to do. You’ve genuinely brought a tear to my eye! 🥹

We always knew saying goodbye to The Bear was going to be emotional, but it’s little gestures like this that really hit home just how much the last three and a half years have meant to us. ❤️

We’ve always said our customers aren’t just customers, they’re part of our little Bear family, and this is exactly why. 🐻❤️
