The food here is consistently good and the selection of beers and ciders is interesting and varied. An old English pub in every way, in décor and ambience, including log fires in every room. The management team always ensure that the standard of service and quality of the offer is the very best.

I love coming to the Bell, and will keep coming back. The tiny deductions for Ambience were because I think the dining room extension could be made to feel cosier (more like the rest of the pub), and for Value because I thought the vegan option was a little overpriced. All in all still a big fan though!

Lovely ambience outside as usual. Delicious sticky toffee pudding. However, the sausage sandwich offered instead of your more usual sausage ciabatta was of a lower standard. The sausages were smaller and less tasty and moist, and the bread was a bit hard. It would be really great if you were able to re-resource this from your previous supplier - it's our favourite menu item. Glad you're back, anyway!

Covid secure. Excellent friendly service. Good choice of beer and ciders, and the food is of the finest quality and expertly prepared. Some of so-called posh high end restaurants should send someone to eat there to see how it’s done!
