The Black Bear Inn Usk Reviews from The Last Year
Excellent, as always
Another excellent visit to the team at the Black Bear, stunning setting, all the charm of a great local pub and the finesse of fine dining restaurant without the fuss, brilliant cooking and great seasonal ingredients. I could eat oysters forever and the Scallop dish with bone marrow butter is a winner. I'm glad I don't live in the village as I'd probably never leave, bravo and keep up the good work in these tough times!
Didn’t live up to the hype
Was expecting a great meal having read recent reviews. Overall we had a good meal but having ordered the scallop ‘special’ starter it was poor. At £11 I would have expected a decent sized scallop but I’m afraid it was small and overcooked/rubbery. Rather spoiled the occasion.
This is how it's done!
Have been meaning to eat here for ages. Was not disappointed. The Black Bear fully deserves its reputation for the finest of food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. This is how it's done. Attention to detail in the way the food is prepared, complementary tastes and all so unfussy. Brilliant
Relaxing and enjoyable meal.
We had a very enjoyable meal. The atmosphere was relaxing, the food was very, very, very good and the service was super friendly. It’s a big 80th birthday soon for a member of the family and we’ve decided we’ll be booking them a meal here. In summary, we really enjoyed our meal and we will definitely be going back.
Make the effort and visit!
Probably one of the finest meals I’ve ever had. I’d heard that this pub had an excellent reputation however I’ve heard that before! This time absolutely justified, everything was brilliantly done, great staff, great food and good drink. Well done all involved
Outstanding Gastropub
Fairy tale pub deep in the countryside with innovative cuisine making great use of excellent local produce, interesting wines, and a warm welcome from attentive staff. For cooking of this quality pricing is very fair. It most certainly is worth the extensive detour.
Truly amazing
Well what can I say, can't speak highly enough about this wonderful restaurant. Been meaning to go for a long time and did not disappoint in any way. Food absolutely delicious from the snacks, starter, main courses and desserts. Quality superb. Service could not fault in any way, a pure gem of a place. Will be back very soon.
Little Gem
First time visiting The Black Bear, well what can I say ? Perfect from start to finish! Excellent food, starters mains & deserts. We had our 5 year old granddaughter with us and Joshua the owner and chef provided us with a dish that she enjoyed, but I must say we have eaten in a few Michelin star restaurants and they don't seem to cater to the younger generation... so hats off the the chef. Also, the waiting staff were most accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Would we eat here again? Most definitely, would we recommend? Most definitely. Can't wait to return. Oh and by the way with regards to a previous reviewer who complained about the price of the Welsh rarebit, I think they called it cheese on toast. It is not cheese on toast! It is a rarebit which includes a few more ingredients than cheese and bread and takes time and skill to produce. In my opinion well worth the cost as was everything that we ordered.
Wonderful and Welsh
We're visiting some Welsh Gastropubs and we had a fantastic meal here. Really great selection of snacks, delicious oysters and croquettes and a beautiful seafood main course. Really interesting wine list and fab, friendly service.
You must not miss this place..
I recently posted a poor review of what I thought was this place.. when it should have been for a similar named establishment.. I can only apologise to the owner, and anyone who read the review.. This place ‘Black bear inn’ usk is truly amazing. Just returned from having lunch, the best quality and cooking I’ve had in a very, very long time.. cannot recommend enough..

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |

Working on your bid? |
|
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |

Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
|
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
|
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Give the best answerPayout Limit weekly and monthly the same??
I see with my user status I can only cashout $1,500 a week. However is my monthly linit also that same $1,500? That doesnt make sense. Why even have caps, the sales went thru and its 2 days after by the time you release the hold to me. The monthly cap of $1500 (if thats what it is) really limits your good sellers profit potential as of that $1500 only a fraction is profit as the reservations cost a lot to reserve anyways at Carbone and Torissi.
Hoping the weekly is $1500 and the monthly is a glitch you can fix for me.

Idk if this is related to the unsold listing % rule but I have listed 6 reservations and sold 5 of them and my unsold listing percentage is ~45%. For some reason the unsold listings have not been converted into sold ones. Does this happen only after the payment is released following the booking or is it an issue that needs to be addressed?

Give the best answerHonest review of AT and advice to new joiners
Forget trying to snipe reservations online by waking up early and booking top restaurants at Carbone or Tatiana or Cote or 4Charles. After 2.5 months of booking reservations by setting up alarms, waking up early to sell appointments. It’s very hard to cash out on this app. During cash out, you have to pay $5 fee +3% transactions fee and max payout per day is $150.
Advice to new users:
- do not mass book reservations
- fill bids only
- don’t try to book reservations online, you need connections and call the restaurant
After putting in about 40 hours of work, I’ve made about $750 sale on this platform but gotten paid $0. Take this with a grain of salt.

I believe this site to be a fraud. I paid $158 to get a reservation. Now they want my SS # and other private details in order to supposedly repay me.

Hello All,
I don’t know what else to do as I can’t transfer my cleared funds to my bank account. Customer support is close to non existing and not helpful. How can we keep selling here if we can’t withdraw what we have worked for. They say I have to wait 180 days. This is ridiculous!

Hi all! I have a reservation for Via Carota for tomorrow for 2 people at 4:45PM for only $10 if anyone is interested!!
Give the best answerPayout limits? Have 1k…
Am confused about the payout restrictions. Have nearly $1k sitting, wanted to withdraw some and am surprised to see I can only withdraw $50. If i have to do this everyday I’ll end up paying over $90 in fees just for withdrawing via ACH which doesn’t make much sense to me. Have opened a ticket regarding this, but any input or advice would be appreciated

Looks like New York passed a bill making it illegal to sell a reservation without the permission of the restaurant. Is this the end of appointment trader?

Give the best answerAny seller support?
Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

As the title says. I bought a reservation but what’s to stop someone from just showing up for it anyway? I’m doing the name change service but it’s still under their email/phone, right?
