The five-star Crazy Bear Hotel, known for its bold interior design and upscale atmosphere, offers guests a unique experience when it comes to hospitality. Thanks to a new deal from Wowcher, guests can also enjoy a twelve-plate dining experience at the Beaconsfield hotel.
The Thai sharing menu has been curated to highlight a fusion of Asian flavours. Guests can choose between a classic or vegetarian selection, both featuring a carefully balanced array of dishes.
The deal also includes an overnight stay, a glass of Lanson Le Black Champagne and access to the bar and lounge areas. Saving up to 52% on a full price stay, the Wowcher Crazy Bear experience with meal is now £195 for two.

Food fans who have already tried the 12-plate sharing menu have left plenty of good reviews, with one delighted diner saying: "Amazing food! We had the 12 plate set menu and the food tasted amazing and there was so much that we couldn't eat it all! Highly recommend"
Another added: "Amazing food, service and a lovely restaurant. Highly recommend the 12 plate set menu."
While one guest noted that the food felt "overpriced for what is on offer," the Wowcher deal is good value, bringing the cost of a 12-plate dinner, champagne and a five-star stay to under £99 per person. Given that dinner alone is typically £50 per head, the package deal offers substantial savings.
The Thai dining experience is only available at The Crazy Bear Hotel in Beaconsfield. Opened in 2008 to spectacular international reviews including Conde Nast's Red Hot List for best new hotels in the world, the former fifteenth-century coaching inn has been transformed with individually styled rooms and bespoke furnishings.

With an outdoor swimming pool, an opulent bar and two restaurants, Crazy Bear Beaconsfield offers luxury and flamboyance in a traditional setting, less than 30 minutes by train from London Marylebone. Guests who aren't keen on the Thai menu can opt for a three-course English menu instead.
Outside of the Crazy Bear, many other fine dining establishments like to tempt diners with a tasting menu. A Five Course Tasting Menu for Two at Gordon Ramsay's Savoy Grill, for example, can be purchased for £260 from Buyagift.com. Serving up classic British and French dishes in elegant surroundings, the offer features dishes like Arnold Bennett soufflé with smoked haddock and cheddar cheese and Beef Wellington.
Other alternatives include a Italian Five Course Tasting Menu for Two at Piazza Italiana famous for its authentic menu from Virgin Experience Days, or a Eight Course Taster of African Cuisine with 32% off at Groupon. Both deals can be purchased in advance and booked when convenient.
For anyone looking for a five-star stay, buyagfit.com is offering a Two Night Country Hotel Stay for two from £199. Cheaper than the Crazy Bear experience, this deal does not include food.
Guests can also choose to stay at the original Crazy Bear in Stadhampton near Oxford which has been entertaining guests since its creation in 1993. Famous for its eclectic design and award-winning dining, the five-star hotel promises to offer guests 'an exclusive Thai dining experience.'

Visitors who have stayed at the Crazy Bear hotels, have left plenty of five-star reviews on the Tripadvisor.
One person who stayed at the Stadhampton location described it as "An absolute treat" adding "What a special treat for my husband and I. The best way we could ever think of to celebrate his 50th birthday. A stunning hotel and such quirky and beautiful grounds."
Another who enjoyed a stay at the Beaconsfield Bear was also impressed, saying "Stunning hotel. Wow! What a place to stay. Absolutely beautiful. The decor is off the scale."
Sadly not every visitor was quite so impressed. One guest who left a three star review that said: "The hotel is quite nice but not as nice as it thinks it is. Friendly staff. Rooms are kind of luxury depending on your taste but a bit too dark for my liking."
Overall, guests seem to be impressed with the food and the Crazy Bear experience. One five-star review summed it up saying: "Incredible getaway if looking for something luxurious with good food and wine."

The best Indian restaurant in London, according to the 2025 English Curry Awards
On the hunt for your next great Indian meal? We feel you. If you've already worked your way through our list of the best Indian and south Asian restaurants in London, then you're probably in need of extra inspiration. Step forward the English Curry Awards. Run by Oceanic Awards, the annual competition exists to 'celebrate the rich tapestry of flavours that the curry industry brings to the English culinary landscape', and was held on August 11 in Birmingham. Worthy work, we think you'll agree. While London didn't scoop the top prize of overall national champion – that went to Sherkhan of Alnwick, a locally beloved restaurant and take-away in Northumberland – there were a bunch of regional winners and London 's greatest Indian restaurant was named as Masala Inn, which you'll find on the fringes of south London in Bexleyheath. A 'contemporary Indian restaurant and grill', Masala Inn's menu features a number of signature dishes, including Goan fish masala, creamy malabar, and lamb kaalia, as well as a host of biriani and balti dishes. Masala Inn fans have been showing their love of the restaurant on TripAdvisor, with a not too shabby 4.7 rating. One wrote: 'Everything we ordered was fantastic, especially the Malabar chicken; so rich and creamy!' Another added: 'The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the food is outstandingly good. I've tried many of the items on the menu, the railway curry is excellent, full of tender lamb and flavour.'

New train route links seaside town famous for sea glass beach and dolphins to UK capital
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE seaside town of Seaham in County Durham is getting new direct links to London Kings Cross for the very first time. The train route will link the quaint coastal town with the UK capital from this winter. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 New direct trains will link London to Seaham for the first time Credit: Alamy 4 The town in County Durham is known for its sea glass that washes up on the beach Win one of 8 incredible holidays to the Caribbean, Mexico and Greece by voting in The Sun's Travel Awards - enter to win here Grand Central recently secured approval from the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) to launch four daily direct trains each way, from December 2025. Anyone from the south looking for a coastal escape in the north can expect great things from Seaham. The town in County Durham has a mile-long shingle beach and on it you'll be able to collect sea glass, which is scattered along the shore. The treasure is man made glass which has ended up in the sea, where it is then shaped by the water over several years and is eventually washed up on the shore. There's more sea glass in Seaham than in other beach destinations because during the Victorian era, it had a glass bottle factory where waste was put into the sea. It's not uncommon to see dolphins jumping out of the water in Seaham either. One visitor to Seaham Beach said: "Dolphins and glass beads... what could be better?" They added: "Staying on the beach gave us a prime viewing of the pod of dolphins that swam along the coast catching fish." There's even a mole sanctuary - a designated patch of land that lets the little subterranean rodents live peacefully in the soil. The English seaside town with no arcades or rides but named the best in the UK 4 If you're lucky, you can spot dolphins off the shore Credit: Alamy Seaham is a popular spot for holidaymakers and when we chatted to some travel influencers about their best UK beach spots, the coastal town came up trumps. It was praised for its golden sands and craggy rock pools, which are particularly fun for toddlers. Currently, getting from London Kings Cross to Seaham includes changes at Hartlepool, Newcastle, Northallerton and Thornaby. According to the cost of a ticket from London to Seaham can be as little as £27.50 when booked in advance. On the day fares can be as much as £200 at peak times. The journey takes three hours 46 minutes at the very least - so the time is expected to shorten with the direct journey. Further along the coast, you'll find one of the top trending beach destinations in the world. And check out the best-rated UK seaside towns for families picked by our experts – including Britain's sunniest beach & stays from £26.

How to get a free upgrade to first class on a plane Travelers often wonder how to secure an upgrade to first class without paying the premium price. According to a flight attendant, there are several strategies passengers can employ to increase their chances. Firstly, loyalty to an airline is crucial; frequent flyers and those with elite status are more likely to receive upgrades. Additionally, booking directly with the airline rather than through third-party sites can improve your odds, as can being flexible with your travel dates and times. Dressing smartly and arriving early can also make a difference. While airlines generally prioritize upgrades based on status and fare class, a well-dressed passenger who checks in early may catch the staff's attention. It's also beneficial to be polite and friendly to the airline staff, as they have the discretion to upgrade passengers at their own judgment. Lastly, if you're celebrating a special occasion, such as a honeymoon or birthday, it doesn't hurt to mention it. While not guaranteed, some flight attendants might consider this when deciding on upgrades. Overall, while there's no surefire way to get a free upgrade, combining these strategies can certainly improve your chances. Recently, the 'Maldives of Europe' also got new flights from the UK for £19.99. Plus, Skyscanner has a price drop tool that finds the cheapest flights and it could save you hundreds.
