Love Sunday lunch here. Our daughter couldn’t join us so we asked for a chicken parfait to take home which was added to our bill. Nothing is too much trouble here. There was a generous helping of parfait which my daughter loved. Thank you. Watching the staff nothing is too much trouble. Even when a party of roughly 7 all paid separately service with a smile.

We went to the bell for the first time for Sunday lunch my husband is celiac he emailed ahead to let them know. The staff could not have been more accommodating he was able to have Yorkshire pudding cauliflower cheese and a beautifully presented feast on a plate. It was excellent value and he was even able to have a crème brûlé nothing to much trouble the staff were great we would highly recommend the bell to friends and family.

The food was lovely ,it was hot , well presented and out of three “ pubs “ our little group has tried so far this was by far the best .
I was surprised that this little gem of a pub wasn’t busier on a Friday evening … but it was perfect for us Mums to have a good catch up .
Try it , you won’t be disappointed !

Easy parking, friendly staff, varied menu, food plentiful and generally tasty.
I opted for the meat free roast which was the meat version without the meat basically as opposed to a meat free option eg quorn. The title I found misleading, it could have been interpreted as a meat free roast as these are available to buy but instead I was charged the same price for the meat based meals without the protein. Perhaps ‘meatless’ would’ve been clearer? That said it was filling, I left satiated

Starter soups, although delicious were lukewarm. Main roasts, 2 beef, 1 lamb were great. Good quality and plenty of sides. Couldn't fault them!
Room still a bit echoey when full. Very nice friendly staff.
Would recommend you to anyone.

Sunday lunch was fabulous, with lovely fresh sides & good presentation. The only thing we thought to improve wS the ambiance....the room although freshly decorated was lacking any warmth & seemed bare. Maybe some pictures or flashes of colour.
However, overall great, keep up the good work!

We ate in the bar as restaurant not open on Tuesdays, it was a bit cold despite the fire, but was a very cold day.
The tapas dishes were really nice except the calamari which was a very small portion and not all that nice. The Gambas pil pil was fabulous.
The service was very good.

We had a lovely time at The Bell the staff and food were very nice , probably Mother’s Day was not the best time to go for the first time as I said the food was great but we felt a little rushed and as there was only two of us next to a table of 10 I think it was a little noisy but we will definitely be trying The Bell again , thank you to the staff you were great

We could not fault the food, it was all good quality, well cooked and presented, and very tasty. Just one small thing, the black pudding in the risotto isn’t really necessary as it was quite a strong flavour and a little overpowering. Service was friendly and efficient, but not over the top. Ambiance in the dining area could perhaps be improved with more interesting tableware and lighting, and the tables are very close together. The couple on the table right next to us were talking loudly on their mobile phone for the first half hour, which spoilt the start of our meal. Value on the whole was good although the desserts were a little overpriced at £8 /£9 each.

Had set lunch menu
Starters v nice
Main course of chicken fries and garlic butter was ruined by putting all on one plate. Chips were awash with garlic butter. Solved by fries in a basket and garlic butter in a ramakin. Let the customer choose!
