Really enjoyed our meal at The Bell. Service was great and food was delicious. Most importantly, even on a freezing cold night it was a pleasant temperature inside! We would definitely return back.

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!

This is a beautiful old pub. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and our drinks were served just as we like them. We will definitely visit again when we are next in the area.

A terrific place for a pub meal or real ale. I recommend it highly. So much so, our neighbours went there the following day! Ambience score would have been 10 too I am sure if we had eaten in the garden and not at the front! Next time!

Thanks to Scott, Iain and the team who worked really hard to make the customer experience the best they can within the constraints of the new restrictions. Food and beers were as excellent as ever albeit with a slightly smaller choice of both. The need for full table service placed a huge burden on the small team who worked tirelessly to keep up with everyone's needs and managed to keep smiling throughout. A very good first post-lockdown pub night out.

Excellent evening. Booked in advance and they were great in reserving us a table on the patio. Staff we really friendly and helpful, keeping their distance and cleaning everything down between use. Food was tasty and the cider was great - a perfect post-lockdown trip to the pub.

The service was fine and friendly. I thought the range of food was a bit thin and a bit pricy. Offering cheese on toast with no garnish at all is a bit cheeky. I thought the portions were a bit small but the quality of the food was good. I would suggest a wider range of slightly more conventional pub food might be more appealing to customers.

The Bell never disappoints, whether just there for a pint from their ever interesting ales or for dining. It’s a relaxed unfussy ambience with old village character. On this occasion the Sunday lunch menu was limited due to kitchen staff shortage but that’s a blip in my overall experience of The Bell. The barman/waiter (Chris) seems unfazed during hectic periods, running around like a whippet yet always with a cheery greeting in his familiar manner. Hope the place never changes.

Great to be back at The Bell at long, long last. New distancing does feel a little odd inside the pub at first. Outside in the sunshine with 6 people per (large) table is almost like back to "normal" - Thanks Scott, Iain, Chris and all of the staff..Cheers
