My family went to The Bell a couple of weeks ago for Sunday Lunch and it was fab. We decided to go as a family of 5 on a Saturday evening with my Mum as she lives local and we were visiting her for the weekend. Food was lovely, the Brie was fab and the Steak and Ale Pie was very good. I was, however, very disappointed with the service, it was not slow, but one particular waitress wasn't very happy, it made us feel a little bit uncomfortable asking for anything and it seemed a lot of effort for her. When you go to a restaurant you do expect the staff to be welcoming, although she was particularly friendly with the locals I noticed! I would go back, but I do think the waitress could do with attending a customer service course!!!!!!

Enjoyed a Sunday roast with friends. We all enjoyed the food, roast beef; roast chicken and roast lamb. And desserts. When we are paying to eat out we want value for money and to be served food that is as good as or better than what we cook at home. We were not disappointed. Absolutely delicious. Service was very good too. Not been to the Bell for around ten years. We won’t be leaving it that long again.

We have been coming to the Bell Inn for many years now. We have always found the food and choice excellent. Today was no exception. Also the staff are so friendly. The rustic feel of the place is fantastic. So cosy, you feel you could stay here all day. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Wonderful British pub from the 1500s with delicious food, pleasant atmosphere and guests as well as a good selection of drinks. Out of the way, our bed and breakfast hostess recommended it.

A great meal was had by all for something a bit different, better and nicer than our usual haunts. The Bell was recommended to me and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it either.

I think we caught the staff at the end of a busy Sunday as they weren't very welcoming. Beer wasn't great. Service without a smile, glasses were dirty. It's not difficult cleaning lipstick marks off a glass and adding salt to the glass washer. Simple things.It used to be a good pub. Will visit again and hope things change. Hopefully just a bad day.

There were five of us and our meals were tasty apart from very garlicky dauphinoise potatoes and roast potatoes weren’t crispy on the outside, good sized portions though. Service was slow, didn’t help that the Guiness was down so staff had to nip over to their sister pub The Sun Inn for husbands pint! Would come back but perhaps not on a Sunday!

Visiting a friend and went over for dinner. Food was excellent with generous portions. Service was quick for a freshly cooked meal and the atmosphere was very friendly. Reasonable choice of beers. What more could you want ?

Once again a visit with my friend from Australia for the steak and ale pie. Booked for 1pm and the welcome could not have been better from our smiling host. The pie was superb, the atmosphere excellent, the seating comfortable and the liquid refreshments great. After our meal we went to the garden to finish our drinks in the midday sun. An exceptional lunch in a great old inn. Highly recommended.
