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 first batch of the world's best restaurants has been revealed for 2025
Each year, the World's 50 Best announces a list of the top 50 restaurants on the planet, and for 2025 that will take place at a ceremony in Turin on June 19. But 50? That's hardly very many spots to allocate when there are so many fantastic restaurants out there. Luckily, there's an extended version of the list – 50 restaurants that didn't quite make the final cut, but can very proudly say they're in the top 100 on the planet. Ahead of announcing the official top 50, the guide has just released the 51-100 best restaurants in the world right now. Among the inclusions is La Colombe, a stunning fine-dining institution near Cape Town, nestled in the Silvermist organic wine estate, which overlooks the Constantia Valley. Here you'll find a menu of classy plates influenced by Asian cuisine and created with French techniques. Over in the heart of São Paulo you'll find Tuju, a breezy, contemporary restaurant led by chef Ivan Rolston, where you can indulge in a decadent 10-course menu – which, according to World's 50 Best, 'pays homage to Brazil 's distinct seasons, showcasing locally sourced ingredients through creative techniques.' Then there's Burnt Ends, an iconic Singaporean restaurant where pretty much all the dishes on the menu are flame-cooked. Salivating? Same – check out the rest of the top 100 below.

Greek hotel hits back after gran complained there was no English food and they only did chips on one day
A hotel on island of Corfu has hit back at a grandmother who swore she would never return because they didn't serve British food. Susan Edwards, 69, went on what she hoped would be a dream all-inclusive holiday at the Lido Corfu Sun Hotel. But the Greek resort – roughly 1,600 miles away from England – didn't serve any English food. She flew to the hotel in May with her daughter and three cousins at a cost of around £750 each. However, she said conditions were horrendous from the minute they arrived. The all-inclusive drinks on offer only included wine, lager, ouzo or brandy, meaning she had to pay extra for her Bacardi and coke. Susan, from Westerhope, Newcastle, says that she could not eat a lot of what was on offer due to her ulcerative colitis – a condition that is not caused by diet, but can be helped by avoiding certain foods. But the hotel boss has defended what they had on offer, branding her claims as 'false and disrespectful'. Manager Makis Triantafyllos told The Sun the food service is 'generous and diverse, offering fresh salads, fruits, hot and cold dishes daily'. He said: 'Targeting a hotel with excellent ratings (8+/10 on and 4.3/5 on Google) and many loyal, returning guests, based solely on questionable accusations, is both unfair and damaging.' Makis added Susan even complained to staff about the weather while she was there, and was 'sarcastic and dismissive'. Susan allegedly complained about not having a second key for the room she shared with her daughter, but the manager said this was taken off of her after 'it was used solely to keep the electricity running – leaving the air conditioning on 24 hours a day, even with open windows and the room unoccupied'. To be fair to Susan, the hotel's TripAdvisor page shows that she is not the only disgruntled holiday maker at the Lido Corfu Sun Hotel. In May alone, five out of the six reviews gave one-star reviews with titles like 'good luck', 'absolutely disgusting', 'don't go', and 'close this hotel down'. Among their complaints are issues about food, that it is too far from 'Corfu town', and broken toilet seats. Tui said: 'We are sorry to hear that Mrs Edwards felt dissatisfied with her holiday. We have been in touch directly with Mrs Edwards to come to a resolution.' check our news page. MORE: This mythical destination is a perfect Mallorca alternative — without the crowds
